america is so obsessed with cleanliness. don't they know that the VAST MAJORITY of people for the VAST MAJORITY of history neither brushed their teeth or showered? and the ones who did shower certainly didn't shower every day. there's nothing wrong with skipping a day or two. unless you have oral sex often and your "area" has a tendency to start smelling, of course.
but not showering doesn't mean you're "dirty." it just means your body releases its natural scent, the scent that for all of history, people lived with and didn't even notice. we're also overly obsessed with clothes washing.
note: no i'm not one of those slobs who doesn't shower or change clothes for a month, that is quite a different story!!!!
we should really be ashamed of ourselves. what about people living in horrible poverty? do you think they get to shower and change clothes all the time? hell no!

yeah i think most girls don't wash their hair every day, right? that would take like, a million extra hours per year. this stuff takes TIME!
also i think showering depends on if you sweat a lot or actually get dirty.

guess what, morons? I LIKE BEING CLEAN TOO. very rude and presumptious of you. but i'm too lazy to take a shower every single goddamn day. don't you like doing other things?? hygiene is basically WORK.

about deodorant, if you shower ever day, why would you need deodorant?? your armpits aren't going to smell in ONE DAY!!! come on. this has become an american obsession. people in europe aren't this obsessed. do you think they're all filthy and disgusting?

about brushing teeth, yes it's great for ORAL HEALTH. but these people that won't kiss their partner after they wake up, even though they brushed the night before?? give me a break!!! insanity. and then they go KISS THEIR DOG ON THE MOUTH!!!!!!

well, for girls it's a different story. cuz if we don't wash our hair everyday, it gets oily and stringy.
yeah, i take a shower every other day. but i don't like to tell people that b/c of what they might think. i don't see the point in washing my hair everyday. but i do understand washing your body everyday. depending on what you were exposed to that day.

I think that if I don't shower everyday, I smell. We've all grown just so accustomed to taking a shower everyday to get rid of all the dirt and bacteria on us. It only makes sense to go to bed all nice and clean everyday.
I've gotta be honest though. Every now and then I'm just too tired to take a shower EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Sounds like me....I need to take 1 everyday....sometimes 3 times a day depends if I feel very dirty and when my face feels to greasy maybe some people feels better by doing those things as much as they do...i think they are obsessed because in their mind they think they are dirty when they ain't

From what I've heard from the Asians is that Americans are fat and lazy... pretty self explanitory. Although, a few of us aren't fat... a lot of us are though. Also, I don't believe people shower and change clothes EVERY DAY. Maybe every two days or so, but not every day

Second in the olden day they dint brush their teeth and yada yada but thats why their teeth are either yellow,brown or all fell out.

Ok. Showering everyday is not at all ridiculous. You are comparing people who lost their teeth and got diseases because they didn't take care of themselves. Not because they thought it was ridiculous, but because they didn't have the resources or knowledge that we have today. My grandma lost all of her teeth when she was 16, because she didn't brush her teeth, she grew up during a war. Its OK to wait a day imbetween but, brush your teeth every night and keep clean, its not that big of a deal. As for people who live in horrible poverty, well give them some money and a job application! If you live in the U.S. you have every opportunity to make something of yourself.

I'm a stinker so I have to shower every day, but I agree with you about the clothes. I don't wash them until they are actually dirty.

A bunch of my co-workers have given up washing their hair and it doesn't smell bad, it doesn't look greasy. I looks like they have mousse and gell in their hair. It styles better and still looks presentable. They all bathe daily and scrub their heads, they just don't use shampoo. It works fine for them. I'm thinking of trying it.

and this is why I'm so glad I live in the here and now. Showers are nice, with lots of slippery soap and a friend.
