Germ warfare.... (26)

How about someone stop and take the civilised time to explain 'why' it is shit, or stupid.

To simple tell someone they are stupid without explaination, in my book, is just plain rude and ignorant.

I even accepted initial 'flames' and expanded the scenario .. asked if anyone kisses their partner when they have a cold under noral curcumstance .. is it too much to ask for an intelligent and educated response ?

So what, maybe my medical understanding of the situation if flawed, maybe I am ignorant to the implications of the idea ... so do the world a favour and at least educate me.

Please do IC a favour and if you are going to respond, do so with the purpose of disucssion, education or at least respect. This is a site afterall, where beating, injecting, piercing, unprotected sex, suffocation all seem to be dicussed freely ... hence I am shocked at the intollerant and thoughtless replies so far.

[And yes. The girl won't kiss me because she doesn't want to get whatever I've got, and that's been going on for a while.]

Oh, well, that's easy. Tucker's Law: If some cunt can fuck something up, that cunt will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck it up because that cunt's a cunt. I've got that embroidered on a teatowel at home.

Right Get this ! To explain......

If I have a cold / virus / flu or frankly anything else that could be passed on, I wouldnt entertain going near my partner. Becuase its neither healthy or fair.

Im not that thoughtless!!!

So I hope that answers your dismay, Im suspecting by your replies so far im not alone in thinking this..

Now do yourself a favour and just accept you embarrassed yourself by even thinking of asking such a question !!

The challenge is to be yourself, in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else......

What does amaze me, is the tone of some replies. What's the price of politeness? What did i do to personaly attack anyone or insult anyone ?

I've just read a thread about someone wanting to strangle their partner to point of blacking out for christs sake ! That seem to be fair debate. But not 'catching a cold' ? Have i just hit the grumpy squad by chance here?

How open and welcoming do some of the replies make the boards to anyone who might seriously want advice on 'delicate' issues?

Yes i was at first 'emotional' about it all . .. now i'm just laughing at the hypocracy.

Have you actualy ever stopped to realy think what your signature line means?

(P.S. I think that is a good signature since so many people sleepwalk through life without any thought about it... and those who do not, well history had different coloured stars for them to the yellow ones which had to be worn by the Jews last century... history seldom changes that much)

For regular coughs and colds, I can't say we are that bothered about avoiding touching/kissing etc. If it is in the house, I will catch it and it doesn't have to be intimate contact. I also get what the children have!

Personally, I would have thought that inflicting a cold on someone as punishment was a bit of a blunt instrument. You would be punishing them and their wider circle of contacts as well.

I disagree. The only stupid questions are the ones that never got asked and were covered in assumptions instead.

My initial reaction is "of course not". I wouldn't willfully give anybody I love some contagious disease - although if for instance you live in a house that's got a child in school age, you're pretty much doomed to have pretty much everything that goes around brought to your home, CIF.

My next thought is about a strange subculture which performs "barebacking" with strangers -- with the full knowledge of the STI risks involved, this even being a bit of the point of it all -- of both the hetero- and homosexual kind. I dont have much on that; I just remember reading about it in some magazine, thinking that this is what you get in a safety-worshipping culture: People who willfully expose themselves to diseases simply for the hell of it.

As for deliberately passing on STIs that's just silly and, in extreme cases, illegal. How would you go about getting informed consent for that? And would anyone agree to it? 'Come here darling while I give you thrush.' Errrm, no, thanks....

However, I don't understand the degree of vitriol that your post has attracted I don't think you're embarrassing yourself by asking at all - how else does one learn?

"It's not that I don't like people. It's just that when I'm in the company of others - even my nearest and dearest - there always comes a moment when I'd rather be reading a book."

Of course not because by then your conciousness has been assimilated into the Domly Host and there is no need.
