Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one
person and everybody else.
~ George Bernard Shaw

People are grossed out by different things. Some people are grossed out by love, George Bernard Shaw! Some people are grossed out by people vomiting. Some people are grossed out by public displays of affection. Some people are grossed out by public displays of infection.
My point is that we are different. We like different things and we are bothered, disturbed and grossed out by different things. That is what makes the world interesting and allows for the unexpected. Difference is good. Well, difference with RESPECT is good. Difference makes us richer and more dynamic as individuals and as a culture.
For example, the woman in the movie theater restroom was grossed out because one of the toilets wasn't flushed. I, on the other hand, was grossed out because she didn't wash her hands after she went to the bathroom.
