Of course not. Freedom is great.

82 (31.4%)

Heavens no! I would never deny others.

10 (3.8%)

People should be free to enjoy what they like. I'd never oppose it.

29 (11.1%)

I love denying others basic rights so I can be lazy and not edit my .init file.

55 (21.1%)

What kind of rigged poll is this? MSNBC has fairer. Also, I am pro-filth.

I can't wait for "mucus" to be implemented!
A dwarf with "allergies" could create an abundance of mucus when exposed to certain types of plants, foods, or animals!
I could make a mucus moat!  YAY!
It will be awesome.

That would add more depth to the sickness things we now have... and give gamers another level on which to check for sickness.  Certainly I would prefer my dorfs all get snotty than find the fat boiling from their feet and causing them to bleed out...

Edited the OPost with much love to Footkerchief for gathering up quite a few quotes from Toady which, at least in my opinion, indicate he is leaning more towards adding filth as the project develops than he is moving away from it.

 That shit is why we have to check and make sure our veggies and fruits aren't from Mexico, because they grow it with human waste. Bad bad bad.

I'm in the middle of nowhere in Mexico at the moment, and no, they don't.

Out of curiosity, and ignorance, why specifially is human waste supposed to be so terrible for growing veggies in?  I mean, my veggies grow in a mixture of rotted vegetable matter and dirt, my MIL swears by diluted chicken shit and I know plenty of people who barter with livestock owners for faeces from all kinds of animals for farming.  Others just buy their manure ready packed.  My great grandad always used blood fish and bone, with rotted vegetable matter mixed into the soil.

What is it in human waste that isn't in cow, horse, pig, chicken and sheep waste?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

actually, human waste is used in many places where traditional agriculture is practiced, including my grandfather's backyard. it smells foul when he does it, but there's nothing wrong with the vegies that grow there.

Interesting to know, thanks!

I thought it had something to do with our diet being so rich in salt, preservatives, chemicals, etc

My vote: move along. DF doesn't need this. I hope you don't get what you want, so that I never have to futz with modding it out (or worse, I can't).

I am blown away by your amazing logic.
"Oh hey, don't add because I can't edit init.txt, bye"
The general consensus, which you should have read the thread to find, is add it, and add an init option for the people who find basic bodily functions repulsive.

Mostly, the problem is human pathogens.  That's why in places where human waste is commonly used as fertilizer (southeast Asia) vegetables are almost always cooked prior to consumption.

Some years ago there was a rumor that a leprous janitor at the Corona beer plants in Mexico was pissing into the vats.

Keep the tradition alive!

(Budweiser was responsible for the rumor. Those fuckers.)

Polio, just to mention one.

I'm not so sure it doesn't happen often enough here in the US. Remember how organic spinach somehow got infested with E. Coli? A bacterium usually in the intestinal tracts of cows?

Yeeeeeeah. Think about that.

Oh, you mean they were pouring Bud Light into the Coors bottles.

Bump for poll. I find this one a lot better worded than the alternative. I had some help from Frank Luntz on the exact phrasing.
