Re: To jump to a philosophical issue
"If you want to tell me that others are disgusted by the smell, I'd reply that the fact that this smell is "disgusting" is a product of the taboo."
That depends on the person doing the farting. Any number of reasons, from what they ate to their internal flora and fauna or illness can make some farts almost be classed as chemical weapons.
If you've ever had to take the bowel cleaning concoction given out before have an endoscope shoved up your arse for an inspection, you will likely find that your internal flora and fauna can change composition quite drastically as it repopulates afterwards and can cause quite a change in your gas production and smell coefficient.
