A serious question about FARTS

In our society it is considered impolite to fart in public. Yet I have heard Dr. Oz on Opera say that it is better to release the gas than hold it in. Do you think farting should be acceptable in public?

Of course it should be acceptable in public, of course it is better to let it out than to hold it in! We don't need a doctor to tell us that! Though, apparently, in human society, it is considered impolite simply because it doesn't smell right and in our hygiene conscious world we don't like smelly things. It is very natural to fart, however, humanity has apparently grown above this and along with this evolution we have had to get rid of our early natural bodily functions . . . Which goes against nature, and how our bodies are supposed to function. Something is wrong with the human civilization . . .

yes it is acceptable but it depends in the person if they do fart in the public or find place to fart ....

I kind of like things the way they are. I know that what's in must come out. But I think that there is a time and place for everything. It is ok to quietly pass gas, but would you really want to be walking behind someone in the grocery store or sitting behind someone in a restaruant that lets one rip? I sure don't.

When you say farting your hearts out in public would not be nice. But anyone can fart on whatever place he/she likes. Its just a matter of how silly you are. Its rude to fart in public but it doesn't mean you cannot do it. And you already knew the trick when your at it in a public place, do it with the silencer. And never blush when someone look at you, as you will look guilty!lol.
