INTRODUCTION OF THE FLUSH TOILET DEPLORED AT EARTH SUMMIT

These pontifications (no flush toilets, no electricity) are made by people with all the luxuries modern technology can provide. They, in their elitist fashion, wish to keep African villages in their primitive state so all that native "culture" won't be adulterated by Western things (like hygiene), and therefore Africa will be available to provide them with amusement on their summer holidays. What awful, awful people.

FLUSH TOILET is right!

That would make a mighty fine goat-watering trough.

Tell me about it William Creel....The Clinton-Gore toilets are a joke....one piece of toilet paper and they overflow...it's disgusting...

Not that I needed more convincing, but this sure does fortify anyone's conviction that the Green Weenies are, simply, full of sh@t. And would like to make sure everyone else stays that way...

Oh yes, the joys of Sh*t!

I saw this and have taped it. Will do a review of the show. Had heard of the attendees' propensity to ban the flush toilet. It was amusing, therefore, when the Indian lady spoke up about that. It was not amusing when Bill Moyers hectored Fred Smith for helping to fire Robert Watson (who was also in the room), and the lady Brit was as obnoxious as Sally Jesse Raphael or Katie Couric with her third way liberalism.

Hmmmmmmm. Sounds like a worthwhile program...PUKE...
Ooops excuse me...

Could we just flush the Earth Summit?

[Mr. Mojo]

A female panelist from India complained that the flush toilet encourages excessive water consumption around the world and is not ecologically friendly.

I'd imagine she thinks that using the turd depository that is the Ganges River preferable to any evil, western, and sanitary alternative.

"I don't think a lot of electricity is a good thing. It is the fuel that powers a lot of multi-national imagery," Smith told CNSNews.com .

Huh? Now there's a logical leap that not even Jesse Owen could make.

According to Smith, electricity can wreak havoc on cultures. "I have seen villages in Africa that had vibrant culture and great communities that were disrupted and destroyed by the introduction of electricity," he said.

Changed, no doubt. But "disrupted and destroyed"??!!! THen these are "cultures" that need to go the way of the dodo. If they want the prosperity and security the rest of the world has, then they have to adapt. If they want to live on a flat earth and eat bugs and berries, so be it. But don't blame us if the bugs sting and the berries give them gas. And don't be surprised when your "advanced" next door neighbor produces 10 times as much gruel as you can because he's got an electric corn grinder.

Live like a neanderthal, die like a neanderthal.

I've been waiting for this one. Let's see, it is more ecologically sound to do the big job in the woods and let the piles build up? Or perhaps the open sewers of the middle east and other 3rd world countries is better? Open sewers that let out directly into the local water supply without any treatment. Hmmmm, kind of like our local sewerage district in Milwaukee any time it rains (ok, that's another story).

Note, the speaker really doesn't address the issue of what to do with our waste products, just basically use less water to flush.

Yet, what happens to water that goes down the toilet? Does it dissapear into space, never to be seen again? No it doesn't. I've always seen the "save water" argument to be stupid. We have no more or no less water on the planet then we did a million years ago; it gets re-used time and again! Sure, if you are in the desert there is a limited supply. However why should I worry about saving water when I live 15 miles from Lake Michigan? When the local sewerage district actually does it's job the waste water is treated and sent back into the lake to be used again. When they don't do their job they just dump (oooops sorry; blend - their term) it into the lake untreated.

We re-use water after it is flushed, so why is the flush toilet "destroying" the planet? And does this jerk who is complaining about them have one in his/her house?

Like all socialists, the rules they come up with are just for us to follow. They are exempt!

Unscrew the shower head and take the orifice out. Then you have unlimited water.

Hahahahahahahah.....

[ChadGore]

Ludites, the lot of them.

[scholar]

If it takes 3-4 flushes in a 1.6 gallon, isn't that defeating the purpose?

I have heard many people complain about the low volume flush toilets. However, I have one and it works great--I wonder what the difference is.

[Pushi]

What's wrong with dishwashers? In the long run, they probably don't use more water than washing by hand. Also, families who used dishwashers have less colds and dysentery.

Let us not forget their chief enemy "The Printing Press" responsible for the murder of so many trees and the spreading of such deplorable ideas such as freedom and independent thought among the "lower class"
