The dialogue that goes on there may make it one of the first pre-internet blogs!!<BR/><BR/>And as for the context of the bathroom leading to certain 'vulgar' thoughts, it has been argued that Martin Luther's inspiration may have come from extended time on the can.<BR/><BR/>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3944549.stmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045950595392790139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29862938.post-1151817715766359022006-07-02T01:21:00.000-04:002006-07-02T01:21:00.000-04:00I don't think this is being over-analyzed. I thin...I don't think this is being over-analyzed. I think there are many 'cases' where an individual demeans or tries to de-value a part of him or herself that they are ashamed of on some level or cannot comes to terms with. Think of all the instances of addictions of various types, of people self-medicating in order to cover up some kind of internal pain. Everyone does this to a certain degree. Both you and I. It's not that outrageous a concept, perhaps only when things become uncontrollable. Maybe johnny m has some trouble relating to this personally? The fact that this occurs in a bathroom is irrelavent. The fact that this is a place of anonymity is the qualifier - people can truely express their thoughts without their socially acceptable self being exposed.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I have been in women's bathrooms which are equally, if not more, vulgar than the one discribed here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29862938.post-1151241616792420412006-06-25T09:20:00.000-04:002006-06-25T09:20:00.000-04:00while it's not uncommon for me to analyze even tha...while it's not uncommon for me to analyze even that which doesn't lend itself to such scrutiny, dare i suggest you're overthinking this?<BR/><BR/>perhaps the vulgarities are there because of what happens in a bathroom, and that such activity lends itself to thinking in vulgarities...johnny mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947955000754912566noreply@blogger.com
