Umm Skunk....Johnny basicly summed up what I had to say....just a couple of things....
The Toilet paper issue is a valid concern, not just from a sanitary and health perspective, my preference has nothing to do with how I would and did treat individuals I interacted with. I seriously doubt the fact that I had my own toilet paper in my duffle bag offended anyone...unless they had X-ray vision.
Deoderant: I do not care how often you wash, if it is hot and humid out, then you will stink. Deoderant is a modern civilization social enhancer. Also, the use of deoderant does not prevent frequent washing. Personally I get a lot of flack for two showers a day and many hand and face washings in between.
Crime: Your ocmments are unsupported by the facts and by statistics. Although I would mention that some things that normal westerners would define as a crime (stoning your daughter because she engaged in pre-marital relations comes to mind) or beating your wife with a cane....are perfectly ok in many Arabic societies.
Religious Oppression: To emphasize what Johnny said,, BWAAAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHA.....perhaps you might want to rethink that comment.
So anyhooo just my follow up comments on MY preferences and your response.
