Wow! Everybody is getting all worked up over ketchup and flushing toilets!LOL

My 2 cents, if anybody wants it!

I see absolutely nothing wrong with not flushing the toilet every time. I mean, my gosh, it's only been in the last 50 years or so that the majority of American's have even HAD flushing toilets! Many rural folks were still using an outhouse and they lived to tell their story!LOL Also, even today in most third world countries there is no indoor plumbing. Sorry, but it's a fact of life that mankind has lived without flushing toilets for 99% of the time we're been on this planet. Plus, is it really that gross to use the toilet(pee only) after your child or spouse? Gosh, I've wipe urine and poop from my kids butts for years(when they were little of course). I've even had them puke on me so many times it's not even funny. So, is it really THAT big of a deal to pee in a toilet with a little bit of your OWN child's urine after being in it up to your elbows when they were babies? What about my husband? Not to get gross or anything, but we DO have three children together. It's pretty obvious that we've shared "bodily fluids" a few times!LOL I don't think I'll die if I use the potty and he's tinkled in there and forgot to flush! Having said that, at our house we do try to flush every time except in the middle of the night(so we won't wake anybody up). But, I don't think it's completely disgusting NOT to flush everytime like other's seem to think. I guess it's up to each individual family....

The ketchup thing? I really think it's unhonest to take extra ketchup, sugar, condiments, from a restaurant. If you're that hard up that you have to take condiments from a restaurant....hello? you shouldn't be spending your money at a restaurant! However, I see nothing wrong with keeping the extras that they give you in a drive thru to use for other purposes. The restaurant GAVE you those extra...you didn't just TAKE them.

Of course these are just MY opinions.
