    Default Farting in sleeping bag

    Just checking. How do you feel, when you are zipped together in your sleeping bag with someone else, and they rip a really nasty fart?

    As of right now (as I type) 33% of respondents do not believe it is any big deal... I am inclined to agree.

    Let's face it, when hiking we sometimes ingest things we may not otherwise eat... (like mountain house eggs, or chili)...

    I am thinking that if you find yourself IN a sleeping bag with someone, it would SEEM that you may be reasonably concerned with their well being.... you would not want them to explode would you ?

    It might also be worth considering that it might EVEN be a complement in a weird sort of way... that the person feels so incredibly close to you that they are completely beyond being self conscience about such things...

    Clearly it is a high complement indeed.

    If you know someone well enough to be in a sleeping bag with them, farting shouldn't be a big deal.

    Ever listen to any popular female comedians? Talk about gross!

    Men are either naturally retarded in development (we are always boys), or maybe it's just that we realize that life is so hard we need to make everything funny.

    As for your last statement - you obviously do care.

    Most of the time when people say they don't really care, they really do. Does that make them liars (at least to themselves)?

    And, of course, when you stereotype a whole segment of the population you risk being branded many things, the least of which, (though extremely popular among the "politically correct", and a term which makes no sense, unless one makes politics their moral or ethical standard) "intolerant".

    I notice the lack of a "real" name on your profile, so I can assume you have a personal agenda.

    you sure do assume a lot. Obviously you are very defensive about this subject. I love this kinfd of humor with my close buddies, etc. What kind of a "personal agenda" can I have on a website about hiking? Enlighen me on my choices of agendas?
    I made an honest observation, period.
    And what makes you think I "obviously do care" Stupid statemetn that makes zero sense. If I cared I wouldnt have posted it.
    I don't think your strong suit is psycho analyzing.
    FYI, I registered here so I assumed my name was on my profile. If it isnt and your curious then just ask me.
    Your turn.
    Now you

    What a reply.... You sir, are clearly all class....



    FWIW,

    I am offended that you are offended!



    As a matter of fact, I am double offended! So there!
    Where does that leave things?

    BTW, the OP is female. This was originally posted in the 'women's issues' forum.

    I forgot. How did I "generalize a total segment of the population"?? Please answer that.
    Another ridiculous statement. I am going to generalize you as insane.

    Oh yea...

    ... and welcome to White Blaze...

    ... we generally do not take things to seriously here*.









    *(Unless discussing hammocks, ultra-light hiking, sleeping in shelters, stove types, hiker magic, gators, unemployment, hiking poles, use of GPS, when to depart, merits of NOBO vs SOBO, safety on the trail... oh, and guns! Of course guns... and bears, we DO take bears seriously [or not, depending on your preference]..., oh, AND use of toilet paper, and sunflower seeds, maybe sometimes hiking, and a few other things I will think of later.... BUT definitely not farting. We DO not take that seriously.... not at all).

    You are welcome, but...

    ... you need to change your location. I have the song stuck in my head now....

    You can either just make something up, or you can move. Either way works. If you do not, I will be forced to post a link to 'Hampsterdance.com' and likewise infect your brain with a song you will not be able to get out.



    Now, back to the very serious discussion at hand (let's get back on topic shall we?)
