Foreigners should be forced to wear deodorant
According to Last Week's Poll
The BGM is located in a lower-income area, so we get a lot of Indian people, not unlike that K-Mart where I used to work. Every once in a while we'll get one of these mofos that's so ripe it makes you physically ill. You have to go on break before you actually wanted to, just to regroup.
Which brings me to last week's poll question. This country is pretty lax in the way it allows people to go out in public. You can't walk around with your junk hanging out of your pants, but you can walk around smelling like a cab driver's seat. But should you be able to, especially if it's gonna make someone else sick?
The results from last week's poll:
Should foreigners be forced to wear deodorant?
- Of course (75 votes)
- No, that's racist (39 votes)
(Note: There were another 153 votes cast using the other poll system I had up earlier in the week. They broke down along roughly the same lines as this one.)
Again, I can't help but be surprised that something like a third of the people who voted said no, foreign people shouldn't be forced to wear deodorant. It makes you wonder if they'd really be willing to sit in a room full of these people, or if they're just trying to appear open-minded.
I mean, I could see if we were trying to force them to get a haircut or something. But do you really think that people who stink like the way they smell? Obviously they just don't know any better. They might not even need know what deodorant is, and might just need someone to show them how it works.
