“Cooties”, do they exist "Subjectively" or "Objectively" in reality….?
    #7965804 - 02/01/08 04:15 PM (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kids seem to “magically” know about Cooties, and generally refer and react to them as a factual entity in reality….
Is it considered "subjective" or "objective" when the majority of children treat Cooties as a real thing....?
Adults are not able to see or prove the fact that Cooties do or do not actually exist….


In this real life photo, you can see that the girl with the green vest on, clearly has Cooties….




It seems obvious that children sense some things in reality that adults fail to recognize….
A child was asked to draw some “Cooties”, and this is what was drawn….



What exactly is lost between childhood and adulthood that renders us all unable to recognize these *seemingly* simple parts of reality….?

What do you mean Cooties don't exist? :what:
They bug me off ever since I was a kid and they steal my socks. :frown:

I am glad you feel that way....!    :smile:   
Lets keep it that way....    :thumbup:
(BTW, "good" and "cooties" together is an oxymoron....)

My only retaliation would be to duck, run, and scrub the infested area with soap...
Ssssoooo I am rubber, you are glue, whatever cooties you have bounce off of me and stick on you....!

:tongue:

I think adults still react to cooties. Isn't that why we wear condoms?

In this real life photo, you can see that the girl with the green vest on, clearly has Cooties….

In a few years those cooties will be the very thing those lads would love to bury their faces in.

piercings are only smelly when you're stretching. i've been told they stop smelling when you stop streching!

i don't know how true it is, because i'm still stretching!

I never actually believed cooties existed when I was a kid. But then again, I'm a bit of a nihilist. :grin:
