This one really takes the (urinal?) cake...
I myself have spent a bit of time in Europe, and one thing that strikes you as disgusting is the taking-a-leak in public thing- particularly bad the farther East you go (Czech Republic comes to mind).
And it's not just drunks at 3am -though there's never any shortage of that- but the carefree, utterly shameless roadside drainage -in broad daylight, as minivans full of families motor by- you even see on the side of the freeway (and not in any woods/weeds or anything, either).
But from what I've heard, India is a whole lot worse (and it's not just #1!)... thus, a potential solution has been born: blast 'em with a water cannon, a dose of there own medicine:

No, there isn’t, which is why this makes no sense.
The money would be better spent building better sewer systems and subsidizing people to get toilets at home and building more public toilets.
But they would never be able to catch up with the population growth.

Spent a couple weeks in Sao Paulo, Brazil. My driver stopped in the middle of a neighborhood, got out of the car, and squatted down in the gutter and did the number 1 and 2. No one looked twice. Got back in like nothing happened. Needless to say I never shook his hand.
I was mortified!

Having lived in the slums there in Andrha Pradesh, Americans would freak at the living conditions in most of rural India.
It’s a giant cesspool. All outdoors is a toilet. There is no running water, plumbing or sewers as we would understand them. Men will simply lift up their longhi, pee or squat and crap right in front of you. On the street, on the side of the road, anywhere and everywhere.
Women are required to be more discreet. But most areas of standing water, rivers and ponds are toilets and drinking water.
I’ve seen things that most Americans would vomit just hearing about.
It’s the third world, and Obama is bringing that same crap into our country by the millions.

Yup. That blog post and pictures are very accurate - and there is yet even worse there.
It doesn’t matter where you go in India - big cities or rural slums - the filth is everywhere, as disease and plague are every day.

We spent a couple weeks roaming around northern India last year. The contrasts were something to behold: e.g., beautiful architecture & people defecating along the streets. The concept of hygiene seemed distorted or absent. It was quite the place to visit, but we wouldn’t want to live there.

Dig a narrow trench, squat over the trench then cover your waste with soil when you are done. No flies, no odor, no disease.

Winos used to whiz on a dumpster across the street from my shop service door. I nailed one of them in the butt with a Daisy Red Ryder carbine one morning and the problem stopped.

I nailed one of them in the butt with a Daisy Red Ryder carbine one morning and the problem stopped.Did he have the "X" on his eyes as well?
As an aside, is there any question if they made that movie today, they would have made a few "changes" to that scene?
