-- Posted by Aristocrat at 2:27 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Hello, I found this article thought might be an interesting to share with you.  Do you agree with it or not? Some of you perhaps might need to wash your hands before reading this while some just jum on it without washing it. =================== Clean People Are Less Judgmental    Jeanna Bryner Senior Writer LiveScience.com jeanna Bryner senior Writer livescience.com - Mon Dec 1, 10:18 am ETA vigorous hand wash or shower could cause a person to be less judgmental. A new study, set for publication in the December issue of the journal Psychological Science, reveals that when a person feels physically clean, he or she cuts others more moral slack. The findings add to past research that has shown a link between physical warmth and generosity as well as physical chill and social isolation. Other past research has shown that sins seem to nudge people to clean themselves, a phenomenon the researchers dubbed the "Macbeth effect" after the dramatized murderess who tried scrubbing her hands to clean off imaginary blood. ------------------- If you are interested reading the whole article here is the link. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20081201/sc_livescience/cleanpeoplearelessjudgmental -- Posted by sadnessness at 2:28 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 I would disagree with the cutting moral slack bit. Just from personal expericence. I feel the same about moral issues whether or not ive just showered -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 2:29 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Sounds true. But i have met many christians who are "clean" at home, yet they judge every body once they are out of church, typical hypocrites. lol so the study is FLAWED. -- Posted by Dannay at 2:31 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 what type of clean? -- Posted by HeartofJuyoMk2 at 2:32 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 ive been a clean freak since i was a child, i constantly rub dirt off of my hands, and i need to shower b4 i go out, always. -- Posted by FallingAwayFromMe at 2:34 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Nah... I'd disagree purely on the basis that I don't imagine a dirty tramp to look down on people or be judgemental... more layed back and stoned. But tbh I didn't read the article lol -- Posted by Bearsy at 2:56 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 what type of clean? -- Posted by Aristocrat at 8:20 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 What type of clean?   I would consider a person who wakes up in the morning before doing anything first brush his/her teeth and take a shower and after exercising that is clean.  But the article is only talking about washing hands.  I assume everybody washes their hand before eating and after doing dirty work. This means I am less judgmental than what LW members assume me to be.
