FOX Host says germs aren't real. - GMDino - 02-11-2019 No, seriously he said that. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/02/11/fox-news-host-pete-hegseth-wash-hands-10-years/2835616002/ Quote:Washing your hands after using the restroom seems like a given, right? Not so fast, says Fox News host Pete Hegseth. Now then, I actually agree with some of what he said...just not the reasoning. I think we have gone too far to the other side and we aren't exposing children to enough when they are younger to create a system in the their bodies to handle it. Too much disinfecting in your day to day life (barring any preexisting health issues that require it) is just as bad, to me, as never washing your hands or cleaning regularly. I do, however, wash my hands...maybe not as much as others do.

I agree. I've read some that say these anti-bacterial soaps are killing off a lot of good bacteria. I know they don't exist, but still.

You know, any time I find myself thinking that parents are too protective, too clean, or too "whatever" to their kids these days I just go out in public and I see filthy, unsupervised kids doing something stupid/dangerous. Side story, I went to the beach one day with my buddy, his wife and their 2 young kids. The 3 of us that were adults were in the water watching the kids, and the kids were in hats and UV protecting shirts and I thought "Geez, what's with people going overboard protecting kids these days?" Then I looked around and there were a bunch of kids who were not in UV shirts running headfirst into the water while their parents sat 100ft away and puttered around on their phones. It all balances out, because the filthy kids are going to inhabit the same world the overly sanitized kids, do right? RE: FOX Host says germs aren't real. - Au165 - 02-11-2019 Ask him to point out air since he has to see to think it exists, that is some stupid ass logic. As to the larger debate it is true that the "clean room" type environments we put children in has lead to an uptick in some diseases. I was reading one study that linked Lymphoma and other diseases to people who did not get a fever in their first year of life. Basically it works out that a certain number of the population are genetically predisposed to these diseases, but by jump starting your immune system when your in your first year it greatly reduces the risk of getting it later versus those who didn't get sick at a young age. The belief is that in the first year of life your body is still "learning" things and this is part of that learning process.

Opie was always dirty and he did stupid shit like shooting birds out of trees with his slingshot, and he grew up to be a famous director.

Yeah, but what the hell happened to Clint Howard? Answer THAT, and stay fashionable!
