It's all arbitrary. People frown on public defecation. Why is that?

  >People frown on public defecation. Why is that? I would have thought that was obvious. It's because it smells, spreads disease and is seen as a general disregard for others that have to be near what's left behind.

    Now apply this to spiritual pollution.

      If watching 2 people being affectionate towards one another is spiritual pollution then maybe your spiritualism sucks ass ?

        Yet we don't allow them to go too far or it becomes public indecency. Why? "Indecency" is completely cultural. People are triggered by different things. Somebody above is disgusted by a standard bodily function when done in public.

          If you’re talking about me, I’m not disgusted with standard bodily functions done in public. If you want to use a street urinal or similar that’s fine by me. If you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go. I think what most people object to is what’s left behind; the piss and shit, not the act itself. I don’t want to step in it or smell it or see it. Same goes for dog shit. You’re not going to catch something from passing strangers holding hands, except maybe a broader world view.
