So then one would want to meet Nancy (Aunt Esther) Pelocy BEFORE eating something?
-
Eeewww... Think about all the people who don't brush their teeth very often... Who just had garlic for lunch... Who has rotten teeth... Who has a cold sore... Who... I don't believe it will ever replace the hand-shake.
-
Politics would have a larger crowd, and I do believe some awkward moments would take place with this idea.
-
I don't think it would do much to curb population growth. But it might put an end to such paranoia about some people being gay.
-
So, i guess the nation had better build more jails for all the people that assault other people for kissing their wives or girlfriends. And, the women, too.
-
It would be fine with me if the person had a clean mouth and it was not lip-to-lip.
-
Ooohwee, that would open up a can of worms. Imagine having to kiss your new boss or your SO's parents when you meet them for the first time. Talk about an awkward situation. "Son, you have my permission to date her. She is a darn good kisser!"

If this catches on, I'm investing all my money in companies producing mouth wash.

A "passionate" kiss? People are going to work up "passionate" kisses for casual and business meetings? You may as well suggest that we replace handshakes with ... oh, I don't know ... cash? blowjobs? tongue-washing of feet? I enjoy speculative 'what if' questions, but this one is just nonsense.

I ain't kissing nobody without a mouth condom! +5

Enter the era of the toothpaste connoisseur.
-
there would be a population explosion! lol
-
That would be me staying indoors for ever then. It would be okay meeting attractive young women, but I don't really fancy meeting all my uncles at a family wedding or something.
-
Think of ALL the mouthwash and mint sales there would be!! Id buy into that stock like right NOW!!
-
No I can't imagine that - it's ridiculous! There is no way I am going in to a business meeting and snogging the faces off everyone.....just no way!
-
If we were more closely related to bonobos, then that is probably exactly what would have happened. Interesting speculation. :)
-
I can imagine. I'd become a rude, bad mannered outsider, refusing most of the time.
-
Noooooooo!! I wont be able to do that, already some family members that I dont even want to kiss, let alone 'strangers', let alone passionately! +4
-
But...that would mean...politicains would have to do that when they go on foreign visits...Oh thanks, you just got an image of Gordon Brown meeting Vladimir Putin!

With the flu around, you are supposed to sanitize your hands after shaking. Would you have to brush you teeth and use mouthwash after saying hello to your boss? Besides, he has a beard, I think it would be too scratchy, I'll ask him if he wants to change greetings, the next time I see him.
-
Ew, then society would constantly see epidemics of colds and sore spreads. No no no.
-
Passionate kisses would quickly become dispassionate. I know I'd be fakin' it if I had to kiss certain people I deal with in my daily life.
-
Handshakes was started when two adversaries met with each other. The reason for the handshake was to show your adversary that you weren't armed.
-
Haha I think I would have to stop leaving the house! The thought of kissing someone I don't know really well is yucky!
-
That could lead to a very promiscuous and productive society. It would break down many walls of self conciousness and lead to a much more enjoyable lifestyle for all concerned. Trouble is, you'de have to kiss the frogs as well as the toads and think of all that bad breath.
