Do the French read newspapers while hovering over their bidets?
81609
Bidets are designed to be sat upon and are more hygenic than wiping fecal material around and into your skin.\nIf your intent is to bash the French about bidets, then add the Romance countries, South America, Asia, and the Middle East.

A bidet has a pair of water sprays in there to help cleanse the pubic and anal areas.\n\nNot as problemantic as toilet paper and some of the bidet toilets have a lot of incredible functions.

Faut pas généraliser ! C'est vrai quand-même que beaucoup d'Américains ont une opinion sur tout sans bouger de leur sofa..FoX TV is GOD !\n\nIt's a love- hate relationship. When I read above - forgot the name , fitzstg- immediately the book "60 million Frenchmen can't be wrong" came to my mind...and it was linked as a source !\n\nBoundaries..what is personal and what is not..we have different notions. People do not understand this concept.\nI would never ever say "I hate such and such nationality" myself. I might dislike a mentality but the person comes first.\n\nIn my view, Americans tend - ON THE WHOLE - to view things as black and white/wrong- right. No shades of grey, no in-between. If you look up answers here, most tend to be : no way or yes....not "depends on the situation..etc".\n\nEuropeans view life and human beings as much more complex than than. Germany and France were enemies for such a long time.....but now they certainly are NOT.\n\nI think some Americans should see what life is all about in Europe. Coming from Northern France, we all look and have respect towards each other. Germans and French will put flowers on cemetaries and we all respect each other. The past is the past. I have yet to view or hear about confrontations between the French and German folks in "sensitive" areas.\n\nI hate those stereotypes too.....especially those which are offending and totally wrong and made from ignorant people on top of that.\n\nForget the stupid people. I have met enough absolutely brilliant, charming, open-minded anglo-saxon people !\n\nThere are always things to learn from another culture too !\n\nYou know..at the end I still don't know !! What I have noticed is that the media in North America is still very much conservative. OK I'm a girl (well..no more) but when I pick up magazines for women from the US.......so boring..the French ones: at least stg interesting !!\n\nBy the way : British people are not stuck up at all !!\n\nNope..I like Americans anyway :-). They have a zest for life, they can be brilliant..Pity too many are "child-like" and not very world-wise and kind of stuck in the past as well ?? Don't forget : so many just do not travel at all and just watch stupid propanganda TV.\n\nBut are the French better ?? On some things yes..but not all ! They are the same : too many think - old generations anyway - that they are better than the rest of the world..NOT ! and say the same things "I hate Americans, Brits etc" without knowing any actually !\n\nBon cela va être à mon tour de me faire crucifier. Il y a plein de cons partout : en France, en Amérique, partout..\n\nPS.. and I do not know what is so good about Frenchmen..either !! Just another stereotype among others. Frenchmen are no better than any other nationalities at all :-))) EH EH !

Newspaper (and most paper) are good insulators.

That is a pretty foolish question.  If you sit there and think about it, wiping our arses, ect, after we goto the bathroom, we are all blind :)\n\nAs to wiping their faces, ect, they only have to 'feel' their faces with their hands to see if they have any 'gunk' or 'mess' on it, and they continue to wipe again, if needed.

they never use toilet paper. they consider wiping filthy. they instead wash whenever they do #2. public toilets in many mid-eastern countries have a hose and nozzle near them.

newspapers are the mirrors of daily life. all that happens in the daily life is mirrored in the newspapers. all imp local, national and foreign news are given in the newspaper. threfore the habit of reading newspapers is very imp.it's value in modern life is tremendous.\n  they also create opinion and wield powerful influence on the development of events around us. newspapers shape the policies of a govt and the nation .they reflect public opinion and also shape the public opinion . therfore newspapers are great educative value.

Do you mean "The French Connection"

Yes, and that's why I want a bidet.  God, why aren't they more popular in North America.  So practical, especially for women on their periods. So easy to get squeaky clean.

You can't.  It's only in French.  Their web site is very simple because the newspaper has been in bankruptcy for several months.
