Boys told no standing to urinate

It's an entirely new definition of "Standing Room Only." Or perhaps a new measure of "equality" has arrived.

Whatever it is, it has sparked a huge political debate at a school in Kristiansand, Norway, according to Aftenposten.

The trigger for the explosion of opinion? A decision in the local district that schoolboys must sit on toilet seats when urinating, not stand.

According to the news report, the rule was announced for boys at Dvergsnes School, prompting outrage from Vidar Kleppe, the chief of The Democrats Party.

He's accusing the school of "fiddling with God's work," and now he wants the issue discussed at the executive committee level of the area council, according to the newspaper "Dagbladet."

"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, whose group is a splinter group of former Progress Party hardliners, said in the newspaper.

"It is a human right not to have to sit down like a girl," he said.

On Kleppe's contentious "stand" on making political waves, no comment was the response from school principal Lise Gjul.

But she did tell Norwegian Broadcasting NRK that the restrooms are used by both boys and girls, and the young boys are not "good enough at aiming" in order to have "a pleasant toilet."

Why didn't anyone see this coming? It's the next step. Perfectly logical. They drug boys into compliance with Ritalin and then make them squat to pee.

You'd think it was The Onion if it wasn't true...

They drug boys into compliance with Ritalin

People who do this should lose custody of their children.

How do you say "sitzpinkler" in the Norwegian language?

How come they don't force girls to stand? Be faster, long time ago I was in Japan and they just had holes in the floor you stood over with foot stands on each side, you walked over and finished your business.

Why not just castrate them as soon as they are born? /sarc

" the restrooms are used by both boys and girls "

As the younger ones would say, that's really gay.

When camping in the wilderness, I find it more helpful to stand.

These folks need to be canned.

And the people who hired them need to be horsewhipped.

the restrooms are used by both boys and girls, and the young boys are not "good enough at aiming" in order to have "a pleasant toilet."

Perhaps they could allow the young men to remain standing and post this sign:

If you sprinkle when you tinkle,
Be a Sweetie, wipe the Seatie.

Nobody wants to sit in somebody else's piddle. If it's a unisex bathroom, they may have a point. Installing a urinal could solve the problem, too.

This "movement" to make men sit to pee is far advanced in Europe, especially Sweden. Germans have even invented a word for men who go along -sitzpisslers.

It's not a compliment.

A decision in the local district (of Norway) that schoolboys must sit on toilet seats when urinating, not stand.

Heck, I'll just go outside and piss my name in the snow.

Yeah, bombsight toilets, they have them all over Asia.

Well, if this has to happen then I think women and men should have the same showers and locker rooms since we are all the same and there is no distinction between and man and a woman.

It's OK. Boys, just go pee in the grass on the playground!
