6. ever notice the universal ethic insult is "dirty"?
Ironic to me is that the Israelis call the Arabs dirty, even though Arabs were notorious during medieval days for comparing their own, daily bathing habits to those of Europeans. Vikings were singled out for bathing only once a week, and blowing their snot into their communal face washbowls. And the English of the time considered Vikings bizarre for cleaning the "holy dirt" off themselves more than once a year. Hell, the French of today are notorious for refusing to bathe!
