    Well, for one thing, I’m citing the opposite of conventional wisdom, and for the other thing, I’m not saying hands are more or less germ-prone than fresh gloves; I’m arguing the opposite, namely, that they’re as clean as each other. You should really pay attention before being such a sarky cunt.

      They are, in fact, NOT “as clean as each other”. That is stupid and what I said still directly refutes that stupid thought.

        For handling food, they certainly are as clean as each other! Unless you think gloves magically repel dust and so on while sitting in the open box on the kitchen shelf?

          Again, you are only demonstrating how withered and underdeveloped your idea of germ theory is…

          Do you think germs live well on a mostly sterile surface that contains no food or biological material? Or literally ON biological material?

          You’re not even making arguments about how the food itself can be contaminated, or that behavioral patterns can make the glove harder to notice when it gets dirty. No… they’re just equivalent… fucking pathetic thought process, there bud.

            That you’ve just washed? Nope! On a glove that’s been worn so long it’s got shite all over it? Yep!

              Cherry picking to sound smart. Besides, your hand is literally biology that can not only absorb chemicals, put puts off chemicals of its own. You’re just plain wrong, and your obstinance is pathetic.

                It was my point to begin with so I’m bringing it back within context!
