do you mean you are scared so bad that it MAKES you stink or that you fear that you smell? either way, there is a phobia for everything from spiders to water to smells.\nwith that, there is always a way to overcome that fear. see a doctor, they can help. in the meantime, just shower a couple times a day. you will smell fine! =)

Not everyone is so afraid of everything as Americans are. American society hasn't moved on from Salem and 16th century mentality. They even have the death penalty!!! Like some Sahel, Arab and Asian nations. Who wants to live in the USA?? Not me, certainly.

Fear of chemicals or of working with chemicals.

Tecnicaly you cant realy sink one into the ocean because it is floation on the litosphere on the mantel and all that science stuff. But if i could sink any continent I couldn't make up my mind.\nNow if you had asked what country I would sink if given the opertunity and disregarding the laws of science I would sink France without a doubt.\nthe dirty french buggers!!!!!!!

Exactly!! I have to boil water to take a bath. I do not have the luxury of a shower! I use gas for heat not central air and heat. I have to go out and turn on the water directly from underground so that I can fill it up in the tub. I also do dishes in the tub. I live in the United States doing this! I do not see myself as poor, but rich because my family is together and happy. I do not live like that and prefer not to because I like only having what I need to survive not a big house with lots of money. It is of no interest to me or concern. It is boring!! How is that for being against the normal American stereotype!! haahha!

The French seem to forget that they (and all of Europe) would be called "Germany" and would be ruled by Nazis today if American's had not gotten involved in WW2.  They hate everything about America- ironically.  I think it is beyond snobbery.

Because they are afraid of people who made a mistake a long time ago...

Its because of that poisonous and evil liquid that oozes out of their caves whenever they forget to use feminine wash.

because they are so afraid of being along.

Because the water funnels the sulfur dioxide (or whatever gasses cause the SMELL) right to your nose, instead of letting the gasses diffuse through the air, like when you fart OUT of the tub.
