That's why now it's only safe to either bang married chicks or chicks over 40. And there is something to be said for both

And as far as the medical masks go - how in the hell does one eat pussy with one on?

[envy_me]

The masks aren't for bacteria or viruses. They are for pollution. There's a reason oxygen bars are popular in certain large Asian cities. The only place I've seen the masks is in Japan.

Yes, but it emphesizes the image of them as sick.

Or, given the pollution factor...them trying not to get sick.

Considering all the pandemies start there, they aren't doing a very good job :-/

Actually, the masks in Japan are for religious purposes. I can't recall if it's the Taoists or another group...they do not believe in killing ANYTHING, so they wear masks to ensure they don't inhale the tiniest little bug.

I always thought it was for pollution too, learned about this in my Religious Studies class last year.

I saw some idiot Japanese woman wearing one recently in London and made sure she saw me laugh and shake my head at her.

Face masks are not capable of screening out airborne bacteria or viruses effectively. They simply do not have fine enough filtration. There are respirators that can, but for full protection a mask with a tight gasket and filter cartridges is needed. The respirators worn by workers who use solvents or spray paint will work, but you would not want to walk around with one of those all the time.

A standard surgical mask is also of little use against many environmental contaminants. Iodine-131 in its gas phase would pass right through a simple mask and most harmful pollution will as well. A surgical mask offers zero protection against ozone, nitrous oxides and only limited protection against fine particulates. It may prevent some pollen exposure, but for this to be effective it must be very tightly fitted and not removed. What it will offer some protection against is dust.

What face masks do provide is some level of protection against inadvertently exhaled saliva or the spray generated by a cough or sneeze. They also may help block some fine particulates. However, this effect can be substantially outweighed by the health downsides of wearing a face mask.

Surgical masks are not especially comfortable and anyone wearing one is likely to adjust it frequently, and often without even noticing. This is a huge downside, because the risk of transmission of respiratory illness is much greater as a result of touching contaminated surfaces or ones face than from inhaling the virus. Just thumbing one’s nose, rubbing an eye or wiping swear from above one’s mouth is a very effective way of transmitting illness. Not only do surgical masks increase this behavior, but they also can result in the area around the nose and mouth becoming wet with saliva. Worse still, wearing a surgical mask for any period of time will cause the fibers of the mask to become moist, making it a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.

Therefore, wearing the mask can not only increase the probability of transmitting disease to others, by encouraging spreading of surface contamination, but can increase the risk to the wearer due to both the increased tendency to touch the face and the enviornment it creates, where a single bacteria can be drawn into the fibers and multiply.

Like I said Sesh, that's NOT why they wear the masks. It's so they don't accidentally inhale or ingest small insects. I can't remember which religion it is, but they don't kill anything. Shinto, maybe?

Exactly!! Bacteria is so small you'd have to wear a plasit mask for it not to get through.

Speaking of comfort, have you seen the video of that muslim woman trying to eat spaghetti, lol :D

I'm not being funny, I'm sharing knowledge which I gained last year.

Be careful which toes you choose to step on around here, grasshopper.....you may consider that a warning or a threat, take your pick...

For your sake, you better hope you're a WARF alias.

Sure! :D

But would Dave deny this kind of progress? :D
