    Meanwhile 1000 generations of Indians stare at you disgusted by your over reliance on technology.

        Sorry! Didnt mean to offend! Indians typically use their hands to wipe their butts with water. I think it is cleaner and uses less water relatively. The joke I intended to make was that India has been using water to wash themselves for several years whereas the west needed the invention of a bidet to force the change.

          Its almost like westerners came up with the germ theory of disease tranamission and adjusted their sanitation methods to prevent it.

            I agree! But also both Hinduism and Islam had cleanliness rituals baked into their religion. Maybe they were able to notice historically that periodic bathing multiple times a day, helped them to avoid diseases!
