I stand proudly, and then I lower the seat as a courtesy, not an obligation.

Thanks. I also stand firmly behind those who affirm that Kleenex^TM, Caterpillar^TM, Coke^TM and Xerox^TM are brand names and not generic identifiers.

The Vikings were Norwegians... not Swedes. But maybe the idea is catching on in Norway too. I don't know, Norway is pretty liberal.

Progressive as hell! Politikally-correct urination for men mandated by Euro-Fems. (Well, that should piss-away whatever is left of the American tourist trade in Europe.)

Not Euro-effetes, but real men flee to woods for *natural trajectory* relief.

I see no reason to drag Martin Luther into this controversy, but as long as he was brought up, I highly recommend the movie Luther starring Joseph Fiennes.

You can rent it, or you can buy it at Amazon.

I am continually astounded at what psychological damage some women are willing to do to their men.

My husband always stands, never misses, and cleans the bathroom, too. I have the best of both worlds -- a manly man and a clean bathroom!

(Besides, I've always wished that *women* could stand! It would be so much more efficient. Maybe in my next lifetime.)

Men are lucky they don't have to sit on those filthy seats in public restrooms.

The party of the United States, which includes both Democrats and Republicans, is not particularly concerned about the views of leaders who haven't held an election since man last walked on the moon. The party of the United Nations, which draws its ranks mostly from the left, displays a desperate obsession with other people's opinions that rivals the psyche of a 14-year-old girl.

The Vikings were Norwegians... not Swedes.
Not so.

A generic term that encompasses invaders from the countries of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. A seafaring people who at their height, were in control of much of northern Europe and made inroads as far south as Constantinople. Viking sailors were credited with discovering America and travelled deep into Russia.

Reminds me of the great joke whose punchline has God telling Eve, "Adam got the ability the pee standing up, so all I have left for you is multiple orgasms..."

"Reminds me of the great joke whose punchline has God telling Eve, "Adam got the ability the pee standing up, so all I have left for you is multiple orgasms..."

I am not sure that disparity would meet Euro-egalitarian standards.

The COMPROMISE!

Benefit #1 of living in the bush - urinating as God intended - standing up and gazing at the mountains and sky!

"The Vikings were Norwegians... not Swedes"

The Vikings came from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
