At least it was on-topic. Sort of.

You're getting retentive about being on-topic in a thread about potties? Strange sense of prioritization and significance you've got there.

I think we have enough political banter going in other threads as it is, and they're all just rehashes of the previous political threads. I'd just like one where everyone isn't fighting with each other. Well... you're allowed to fight with each other in this thread... just as long as it's literally about crap.

Besides, biological excretions are an important part of everyone's lives. It's something that affects us all, and the different environments we choose to perform these vital functions is educating, no matter how unpleasant society deems these acts and want to sweep them under the rug!

I hate those ones where everything is automatic - from opening the door to flushing the toliet to turning on the tap to wash your hands - all done by some sort of fancy technology. Never seems right.

But then, if you think about it, when you're opening the door, flushing the toilet and washing your hands, you're touching the objects that people have touched after... doing their business... but before they wash their hands... so it's a bit more hygienic, innit?

My most unenjoyable experiences with toilets have been at music festivals. After a few days in the hot sun they develop a wonderfully ripe aroma.

He HE He. I once locked a West Point Trainiee in a porta potty,turned it upside down in the ditch, and left him there in upper 90degree south carolina heat. This trainee got extra credit for giving my platoon hell, and he was on a power trip. lol that porta potty was full of crap, and the blue stain and stink took about as long to ware off him as it did for the whole platoon to recover from the pt punishment we receaved over the next couple of weeks.
*grins* It was worth it, i bet he carried the name lt shitty smurf every duty station he went to.

Unless your talking about sunken "wet" bathrooms that are common in Japan there is nothing "pretty clean" about squat holes and hoses. Guess what gets sprayed all over the floor which is always covered in a layer of putrid "water"?? Add in high humidity and there's no way anybody could call them "pretty clean". Same goes for the squat holes in the middle-east as has already been mentioned but chrome plated hoses... Luxury I say! :P

Heh. No wonder practically all restaurants throughout Asia (excluding Japan) only have sinks to wash your hands in and no bathrooms. If you had to go it's a short walk outside to a common squat room shared by many businesses, well away from where people were eating.

Can't imagine why :shock:
