Urination will go to committee
A local decision that schoolboys must sit on toilet seats when urinating has provoked political debate.
The head of The Democrats Party, a splinter group of former Progress Party hardliners, Vidar Kleppe, is outraged that boys at Dvergsnes School in Kristiansand have to sit and pee.
Kleppe accuses the school of fiddling with God's work, and wants the matter discussed at the executive committee level of the local council, newspaper Dagbladet reports.
"When boys are not allowed to pee in the natural way, the way boys have done for generations, it is meddling with God's work," Kleppe told the newspaper.
"It is a human right not to have to sit down like a girl," Kleppe said.
Principal Anne Lise Gjul at Dvergsnes School would not comment on Kleppe's plans to make political waves and regretted if anyone was offended by the ban on standing and passing water.
Gjul told NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting) that the young boys are simply not good enough at aiming, and the point was to have a pleasant toilet that could be used by both boys and girls.

too much of an inept moron to hit the freaking water
Well, I can't disagree with that. In the restrooms at my work, half the guys apparently think they're John Holmes and can pee from five feet out. Nothing like tip-toeing past pools of urine to get my little winky close enough to the stall to actually get it "in the basket" so to speak.

Well, sure..because the worst thing possible is that a male behave in any way vaguely like a female. The world will end and you'll all become homos.
uhhhhhhh...Isn't that the goal of radical feminists everywhere?

The pussification continues.....
A) this is in Norway.B) Making children sit down to pee so they dont mess up the bathroom is not pussification.
C) The idea is to be able to have a cooed bathroom with enough stalls for everyone. Being secure enough to share a bathroom with the ladies is a lot more manly than running and hiding from icky/scary girls.

Of course, I suppose that some men like walking about in urine splattered clothing. I am not one of them.

Geez, the solution is so simple. Toss a couple two three cheerios in the bowl to give them something to aim at. Believe it or not, it works.
I heard that there are these little flushable targets that are meant for little boys who are being potty trained so that they do not miss. Maybe them schools should use those too.

redundant?Oh, wait a minute, what about a pass for the return trip? I don't imagine the teacher would be all on board with getting a soggy pass back.

99% of the time, I sit on the toilet when I urinate. It's a habit that goes back to my dating days, and has to do with sex, so I can't really explain.

I used to use the shower or bath tub for those situations. 99% of the time, I sit on the toilet when I urinate. It's a habit that goes back to my dating days, and has to do with sex, so I can't really explain.

LOL. One of my first jobs in high school was working at a grocery store where I was the designated bathroom cleaner. The womens' bathroom was always far more disgusting than the mens' -some men might have poor aim, but men typically don't 'hover' above the toilet and get poop all over the seat. I think if men were to give up the standing up act, women should have to give up the hovering act.
