Should the hand-shake be banned?

Question

This long-valued tradtional greeting is very unsanitary and also can be seen as sexual harrasment. Should our goverment regulate this classic salutation.

Answer 1

Ah-ha....I knew you were a germaphobe. And if you think shaking your hand is sexual harassment, then you haven't seen half of what I'm capable of doing to you. I don't know about the government and its controlling ways, but I wouldn't mind you regulating what I can and can not do.

Answer 2

LMAO
Uh, no, it shouldn't be banned.
If you don't want to shake hands, then don't. It's a cultural sign of respect, and it's a bit rude not to follow it, but there's no law saying you must shake someone's hand in order to greet them. And if shaking hands is part of your job, just wash your hands afterwards or find a new job... And if someone considers it sexual harassment, well then, I don't know what kind of hands they've been shaking...

Answer 3

Wow - you want more govt. regulation?
No - it is not sexual harrasment because society has accepted it. If you don't want to shake someones hand then don't - but don't out law it.

Answer 4

The true handshake is grabing each others fore arm and shaking, not hands. Only recent society has adopted hands.

Answer 5

Get over it. A handshake is all a really man ever needed because it meant he was a man of his word. To bad their arent more men like that in the world. I never heard of anyone dying from handshake disease.

Answer 6

Yes! Anything that anybody doesn't like should be banned. In fact, I would suggest the Constitution be amended to protect us from this and other threats, like children playing tag during recess.

Answer 7

Oh sure... just what we need.... more control from the "Nanny State".... "be sure to eat your vegetables... and no treats, they're not good for you"

Answer 8

Oh please.
