Leftist party allegedly want to outlaw standing urination for men . . . 

[Devonai]

I'm not a big fan of the Huffington Post, but that was a pretty funny video clip after the article.

I also predict that this measure will fail just because of the sheer cost of mandating the replacement of urinals with toilets.  As for practicality, I work part-time doing armed security, and if I had to take off my weapon, gun belt, and suspenders every time I had to pee then I wouldn't have time for any actual security-ing.

Toilets typically use more water than urinals, right?  Why do the leftists hate the environment?

The feminazis are just jealous cause they can't write their name in the snow.
I am of the strong opinion that the male bladder empties best outside. Fortunately I live in the country and the dog and I agree on this issue.

I like to mark my territory around the edge of the mowed lawn

There was a Jack Nicholson movie, I think it was "About Schmidt" where he has an overbearing wife who makes him sit to pee so he doesn't miss.  After 40ish years of marriage, she drops dead.  First thing he does is pee all over the bathroom.

Urinals are an improvement over toilets due to 1) water use, which can be zero 2) you don't have to drop your pants 3) faster transactions 4) you don't have to touch anything

4) could be a win for cleanliness, but I'm disappointed at current urinal designs for not preventing backsplash better.

[Sergeant Bob]

It's not like if they get rid of urinals, men are suddenly going to sit down to pee. How many of you have urinals in your houses?

[zahc]

I have one in every bathroom.

 Also known as a "shower".

But the seat would always stay down...


I can see reason behind this...

Muwahahahaha!!

(no, really, any man who sits to pee for any reason other them he wants to is just stupid. Too be honest, I'm jelous. Women usually have to go more often, yet we're the ones who have to sit. Nature is stupid)

[ArfinGreebly]

You know, I may be off base here, but isn't there a religious group of some kind that advises its men to urinate sitting down?

I seem to remember a discussion of this (not here) a while back . . .

Hmm . . .

. . . so I entered a Google search with the terms "men sitting to urinate religious reasons" and got these:

So is it even remotely possible that this is an influence vector?

[SADShooter]

Given the concept and location, I'm more inclined to think this is an increment toward gender neutering neutrality.

Well, there was a time when it was the custom for women to do it standing. :D

Don't forget the extra risk of pregnancy sitting on a shared toilet!

Why would that matter?  Guys would just take the smaller target as a challenge.

Think of them as full-blown retards. Because they are. I hope they get booted from Riksdagen in the next election.
