‘Disgusting’: Man washes his bum in kids’ pool


A man has been filmed giving himself a very deep clean in a children’s pool in New Zealand in front of bemused onlookers.

The video of the “disgusting” act went viral on social media, with one million views after being shared on Facebook by user “Luminis DaGawd” earlier this week.

The man, wearing grey swimmers, is seen bending over and lathering himself up with soap in the knee-high water as children splash around metres away.

“What the … he’s got soap, aye,” a man is heard saying. “Bro, it’s not a bath.”

The man then turns his attention to his rear end, giving his bum a deep, vigorous scrub.

“Oi, he’s washing his f**king a**,” the man says.

A woman exclaims, “Oh, stop it!”

“What the f**k?” the man says. “For f**k’s sake. Alright, kids, get out of the pool.”

Germ warfare to take over the pool... nobody pointed out the showers to clean up before and after...

Culturally enriching the water and sharing the love around with the little kids.... better than running the sex slave trade for all those missing Outback Aboriginal girls, eh?

Oops - blew part of my story line for my novel...... Outback Rules..... copyright.. copy right....

(shissen stirring comment to rile up the luvvies):-  Sam Kerr, the Indian sheila, taught 'em how to do this!

He's making invasion plans for his fellow Indians to come in, by scaring off the non Indians. It's a dirty tactic, but generally works.
Ask Gordon. Real Estate value drops when Indians move in. Look what happened to Liverpool.

Here's a fun game. Get Delhi on Google Maps and drag the street view icon onto a random built up residential section and look around.

See how many goes it take until you find one without garbage and trash all over the place.  ;D ;D ;D

But I am as Aussie as Bob Hawke, buddy. I have passport.

I've worked with some Indian nurses.  If they trained in Australia they were sort of okaaay but if they trained in India you had to keep watching them! I once told an Indian nurse that she had to wash her hands after she took off her gloves.  She gave me a very narrow look as if why?  I've been wearing gloves, so why? 

These attitudes are highly prevalent in the Indian community.  It's why disease spreads through communities and through hospitals ...

Whereas when I was first doing my training it was drummed into us from Day One!  What is the most important thing a nurse can do to prevent the spread of infection? And the obvious answer - WASH HER HANDS!!! 

Somehow that message has been lost on the Indians. 

Kathmandu in Nepal is full of Indians. It's a filthy place.
I can see why India itself is full of diseases and leprosy.
I always believe that the world's worst pandemic will come from India via a dirty phone call... filthy public phone that has never been cleaned.
The Indian caste system has the promotion of the lowest castes being as filthy as they can be, like a profession. Children born into the begging caste have their bones broken on purpose to be professional beggars. That's how retarded life is there. Bodies of dead untouchables (caste) lay on the sides of roads to rot as it is their lot in life.

“The Ganges is the holiest river in India. Every morning and every evening Hindus bathe in the holy river. However, it is very polluted, and in this very location there is no living oxygen and is pure sewage. Even in the filth of Varanasi, life goes on. People still bathe, and animals still manage to find things to eat. This goat is eating a holy garland that was offered to the river during a funeral procession.”

A few drops of the water of the sacred Ganges are often placed on the lips of a dying Hindu... clearly the idea is to push things along.. Pamela Stephenson said pretty much that after viewing half-burnt corpses, turds, dead animals and such floating by...

Heated Ganges water is a local soup delicacy, sahib!  Eat well!

Yes, but where is the reference identifying this miscreant as an Indian?
Suggest that you all have a look at some videos of South India where the towns and villages are usually very clean.
I have now been to India 10 times in the past 45 years, sometimes for extended stays, and have consequently seen many changes, most for the better,[exceptions are McDonalds, Starbucks and KFC].
I’ll just add that the local beers are excellent and the food is extra grouse, especially from the street or roadside vendors.

I visited India in 1990.  I was impressed by just how clean most of the streets were and how clean most of the street vendors of food were.  India has pockets of uncleanliness just as do Australian cities.   It also has some absolutely filthy places as well.  I stayed in one Princes' Palace in Jaipur, in the middle of a slum.  I was amazed that some place so magnificent could exist in such a place.  I would recommend all the nay sayers that they need to have experience before they can attack a place.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

yawn

Street vendors’ food is good because, unlike the big restaurants they depend on local customers and in a highly competitive market they cannot afford to offend.
Therefore the food is fresh, clean and affordable.

MONOCULTURE!  :'( :'(

Here's a fun game.

Pull up Mumbai on Google Maps and street view a random urban area, and see how many goes it take before you find a place with no trash in the street :)

I have several Indian friends and they are neither dirty nor disgusting.

I value their friendship and absolutely love their food and fascinated by their country cultures and history.

I have a visit to India at number two on my bucket list.

India has a vast population and its impossible to label all under the one name.

I know far more dirty and disgusting Australians than Indians.

It’s always nice too be invited to a bbq as backyard cricket will always be on the menu and a lot of fun!

Well how long has the mass migration of Australians to the UK been going on?

I'm led to believe that ex-pat Aussies are one of the quickest migrant demographic to settle into the customs of their new country and the quickest to develop a pommy or US accent.

;D I had a travelling Electrolux saleman come to my door over 30 years ago - he was Indian - he told me he took his Australian born children back to India to show them the country of his birth.

He said they couldn't wait to get back to Australia ... him too .... he said there were just too many people .. overcrowded and filth everywhere.

It doesn't matter how fresh, clean and affordable the food is - if the vendor doesn't wash his hands after taking a dump you can get crook from fecal contamination.

Dehli Belly is a real thing.

Indeed it is, but I’ve never had it, nor have I ever had any health problems in India.
I was apprehensive before one trip as I’d been having a slight stomach problem but the problem disappeared when I got to India.
When I got back the problem started again.
So I asked myself what was different, . . .the water, mentioned the experience to the doc and he said
“Have you been drinking the local water unboiled?”

And that was in a NSW country town and even now, when I visit, I don’t drink the tap water, the mate I visit filters all drinking water.

And you are assuming that Indians don’t wash their hands after defecating , nothing could be further from the truth and the Indian Government has never had to run a campaign telling people to wash their hands unlike the educational ones that were run in Australia.

It is obviously racist to say he is Indian based on the colour of his skin, it happened in NZ, he could be Maori.
Note that Australians regularly urinate in public swimming baths, that’s one of the immediate needs for chemical treatment of the water.

Interesting link, as I said earlier, things have improved.
I am reminded of 1979 and being confiner to a plane in transit at Mumbai, because there had been a fire in the Terminal.
All power was off during refuelling, so no AC or filtered air.
We sat and sweltered and got the full impact of the local aroma.
Danny Kaye was on a simijar flight and situation and he is said to have remarked on the smell.
One of his offsiders said “That’s sh it Danny.”
To which he replied, “I know, but what have they done to it?”
Mumbai used to be shrouded in smog, one never saw the stars, last year at my 90th Birthday party, atop the 8 storey building which contains our modest flat, we enjoyed the clear view of the stars.

National, racial, cultural stereotypes do not capture every single individual in the cohorts accurately. But stereotypes capture the type. It's like statistics.

Refined Indians like you are horrified by the behaviour of all those other Indians who shhit all over India. But all that shhit IS produced by Indians, not tourists.

First off, I’m not an Indian but am Indo-European just like the majority of Australians.

But India is doing something about such pollution just as Australia did and is doing.
Some of you may remember the famous Murk, which was the area of the sea off Bondi that was discoloured by the sewage discharge, all sorts of stuff used to wash up on the beaches when wind and tide were right but the Government fixed it.
A pipeline was laid out to sea for some miles and ‘’ out of sight out of mind’’
I remember seeing a TV News segment about the problem and a reporter asked a couple of kids who had some big fish where they’d caught them,
‘’In the Murk’’
‘’Are you going to eat them?’’
‘’Geez, no mister’’ wrinkling noses, ‘’we’ll sell ‘em to the fish shop.’’
Back in the late 1960s early ‘70s I used to crew on charter yachts [out of Sydney] and we did our best to avoid the Murk because sailing in it was not only on the nose but it meant washing the hull [we had long handled mops] and could usually get  clean while at sea but occasionally we would have to slip the boat for a good hose down.

Locally, at this very moment, raw sewage is leaking from a broken pipe and has been for the past 30 years to my knowledge, periodically roots block the pipe and the sewage backs up till it bubbles forth. Council then sends a contractor who spends some hours boreing the obstructions out.
Saves the Council having to dig a big hole and repair the pipe and to hell with contaminated ground water.

Logic error:
If his bum was dirty, it would be dirty in the water whether he washed or not. As he used soap, his E Coli was reduced.  The kids watching him were probably urinating.

Ahhh no they're not.

My ancestry is European.

English, Irish, Scots & German. No Indo as you put it.

I consider "Indo" an abbreviation of Indonesian.  ;D

European x Indian would be Anglo-Indian for mine.

What is the difference between Indians, Europeans and Indo-Europeans?

Indians and Europeans are people, Indo European is the name of a language group (but is not a language itself nor is it a people).

You understand it perfectly.  'Indo European' can describe a people and their language, who used to live in the Stone Age. Although Eoin uses bullets not stones.

Nice try, but. . .
From Dictionary. Com and others,
“Indo-European

[ in-doh-yoor-uh-pee-uhn ]

Phonetic (Standard)
IPA
noun
1. a large, widespread family of languages, the surviving branches of which include Italic, Slavic, Baltic, Hellenic, Celtic, Germanic, and Indo-Iranian, spoken by about half the world's population:
2. English, Spanish, German, Latin, Greek, Russian, Albanian, Lithuanian, Armenian, Persian, Hindi, and Hittite are all Indo-European languages. : IE Compare family ( def 16 ).
Proto-Indo-European ( def 1 ).
3. a member of any of the peoples speaking an Indo-European language.

You said it. Oxford Dict says the term meaning 'people' is restricted to a particular use. When the government asks about your language or country of origin, they don't list Indo Euro.
No country is named 'Indo Europe' and only Stone age citizens spoke such a language.

There is quite a difference as not all Indians are the Indo of Indo European but all Scandinavians of Viking descent are Indo European
But if you are referring to skin or hair colour then not all Scandinavians are blond with blue eyes or red haired just as all Indians do not have black hair and brown eyes.

Stupid game perhaps, but many Indians have blue eyes , are fair or red haired and have pale skins.

Just accept the fact that some of your ancestors came from what is now known as India.

Just as an aside, we Australians along with most of the rest of the World, use the Hindu number system.

Spot on, Brian, but unfortunately we are stuck with the social concept, which has been made law by ignorant Governments [Federal and State], however, that said, certain sub-groups of humans should never breed together and for all the right reasons.

'Indo European' is not a race, country or person. It does define specific, exclusive facts and is so used in linguistics and ancient history. It contrasts one cultural group from others such as 'Turkic, African' etc.  Apart from that, it's as useful as saying 'I'm a trouser person. a coffee person'.

Yes Brian ::)
No such thing as Race/Racism when those who came before Sapiens all just dropped off the tree of progressive evolution.
The Denisovan-Negroid Tasmanian Aborigines were asked by the Dravidian-like new Abos to kindly move out of the mainland.
Or the last original Clovis people weren't hunted all the way down to Terra del Fuego where they were still hunted up to just 70 years ago by the newer Amerindians.
Then there's the Jommo/Ainu of Nihon.
The Bantu genocides from West Africa upon other African races in their expansion.

All in all, one day Sapiens will be extinct. Replaced by the new race that replaces them.
War is Racism. Currently the Lefty narrative is No War against Blacks, but definitely against Yellows.

Yes Brian. We are all just one Race, just like we live on just one big happy Supercontinent  ::)

I know, I know. Dreadful. The Grey Dixie against Blue Yankee with the piggy slit-eyes and fat lips.  And the pale-face pommie poof pansies.

We are almost all Indo Europeans by descent, there is no point in our individual descent at which an ancestral line becomes extinct.

At 3500 years ago, the Mitanni of the Middle East had Vedic religion and probably moved to India. It seems they influenced the early Greeks and also Celts of Spain. Thracian-Greek music resembles both Indian and Irish music melodies.

Your social construct rubbish again. Cherry picking 1 conclusion drawn & by put forward by progressive so called scientific wankers.

It's actually a visual fact, you can visually see the difference in physical appearance of peoples in certain geographical locations. It not only covers social & cultural evolution but genetic evolution. Call it racial difference or not, it is how peoples are recognised.

None more so than the  push in this country to divide people by "race" i.e. Aboriginal - whether there be no ancestral qualification or not.

If everything racial or racist was a social construct then there would be no need to differentiate between Aboriginal and non Aboriginal people ....

and the whole concept of the Voice to Parliament  should never have been mooted or accepted..... because we are all just the same .....human beings. ::)

So you and all your identity politics pushers should just disappear into a black hole --- you're just sickening lying hypocrites.

Vikings are Caucasians.

The British in the form of the EIC and the Crown ruled India for 189 years.

Migrations of modern human beings came out of Africa - and populated the globe.

During those migrations continents and geographic locations had no meaning nor were they populated by any specific language group - like Indo.  ::)

I can’t quote the name or date or correct conversation but recently a Indian leader was questioned on a BBC show that asked questions from the audience.

One man asked ( I don’t quote) why isn’t India “doing anything “ to support Ukrainian people.

His comeback was perfect.

“We have had many wars in Asian country .
I ask the European Union to ask themselves?

Why does a threat to Europe mean the world must react and care when a threat anywhere else in the world comes with the response Europe doesn’t care?”

Who said that the Japs threatened Australia?
They never seriously considered invasion, but had Germany won then Japan would have shared the victory and Australia would have been told what to do.

You said that Europeans with US help won the war, now you’re saying it was Russia.
Confused are you?
Wht don’t you post some cartoon to prove your point?

Mass immigration from India has made Singh the most common baby name in New Zealand, and in the Australian state of Victoria.

The New Zealand government announced on Thursday that the two most common family names given to newborns in 2024 were Singh and Kaur, followed by Smith, the top name a decade ago.

In the country’s North Island another Indian name, Patel, took third spot, while in the South Island Kaur was more popular than Singh, and Smith was the third-most common.

In 2024 there were 680 Singhs born in New Zealand, 630 Kaurs, and 300 Smiths.

Singh is also the most common baby surname in Victoria, which has Australia’s largest Indian population. At the time of the 2021 Census there were 272,250 Indians living in Australia’s most second populous state, making up 4.2% of the state’s population.

Data obtained by The Herald Sun this week shows that in 2023 there were 516 babies born with the surname Singh, followed by 368 Nguyens, 366 Kaurs, 341 Smiths, 207 named Ali, and 198 Patels.

Demographer Mark McCrindle said he expected the surname Ali to rise up the rankings due to Islam being the fastest growing religion in Australia, but Simon Kuestenmacher, also a demographer, said he expected Indian surnames to continue to grow in popularity as they were becoming the largest immigrant group.

New Zealand’s Minister of Internal Affairs Brooke van Velden celebrated the dominance of foreign names in the baby surname rankings, saying: “New Zealand is a diverse country – and it’s great to see that reflected in our family name data for 2024.”

But public policy professional William McGimpsey said the results were a case of national “suicide via immigration”.

“We have nothing at all to show for it except a housing crisis, infrastructure deficit, overstretched public services and declining GDP per capita,” he wrote on X.  “It’s complete bipartisan policy failure.”

The New Zealand surname data comes after the 2023 Census showed New Zealand is now just 55.9% European, down from 82.4% in 1996, putting New Zealanders of European descent on track to be an absolute minority by the time of the next survey in 2028.

Last time when I checked the atlas, Russia was a part of Europe, Eugene.  The Russians are basically responsible for the defeat of Germany in WWII, the Western Europeans were responsible for the defeat of Germany in Western Europe.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

Then check again, there was Russia in Europe but the majority of the country was Russia in Asia, currently it is no longer part of Europe, so buy a better atlas.
You are also conveniently overlooking the $11 billion  of US aid to Russia in WW2, which probably contributed just a little to Soviet success.

“Lend-Lease also supplied significant amounts of weapons and ammunition. The Soviet air force received 18,200 aircraft, which amounted to about 30 percent of Soviet wartime fighter and bomber production over the course of the war.[36] Most tank units were Soviet-built models but about 7,000 Lend-Lease tanks (plus more than 5,000 British tanks) were used by the Red Army, eight percent of war-time production.

A critical aspect of Lend-Lease was the supply of food. . .”

Yes, as you said the US did help, tsk, tsk.
