What next? The shower? Jeez, these people need to get a life.

I read an article yesterday where one of these green nuts were saying the Africans shouldn't have electricity either- said it destroyed their culture. It looks like to me the greens are not really interested in helping the poor African so much as sentencing him to eternal suffering.

We live in the country and my kids (they are all boys) rarely use the inside toilet, unless it is dinner time or bedtime. when they are outside during the day, my wife catches them using the woods all the time. Does that make my family a bunch of lefty tree huggers like the Earth Summiteers?

The remark prompted an associate of Smith, CEI's Chris Horner, to ponder what alternative the woman would suggest. "Presumably the preferred solution to human waste problems is now abstinence," Horner quipped.

Considering that most attendees are full of crap up to eye level, I don't thing that abstinence is going to work much longer. BOOM!

I've changed my mind. There should have been wall-to-wall network TV coverage of this summit, 2/4/7. Unedited. Everyone in the world needs to see this crap for themselves.

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

On the other (that would be your left) hand, cholera, amoebic dysintery, giardia, and hepatitis are epidemic where flush toilets are not available.

Having used toilets and toilet paper in the U.S. and remained healthy, and my hand in Nepal where I contracted dysintery, I will stick with the cr*pper.

And boy did you fool me. When I saw the title, I thought you were posting another BSNN parody.

According to a website sponsored by Asia Travel Mart, bathrooms throughout Asia do not use modern flush mechanisms. According to the website, "A bucket and ladle serve an integral role in both bathing and toiletry."

Having lived in Asia for 5 years, I can honestly say that a bucket and ladle are luxuries in many places. More often, a stinkin' hole in the floor, with two foot pads on either side is the norm.

I can understand why these whackos oppose flush toilets -- since flush toilets aymbolize the appropriate accommodation for their Sustainable Povery policy documents.

New GreenPeace Slogan: "No Sh*t!"

[FeliciaCat]

Ah, yes, the "UN Earth Summit", a forum where the Greenie Weenies and the Loony Left can voice their neverending
hate for the human race and complete ignorance of basic science. Some things NEVER change.

[Frank_Discussion]

Perhaps we should all learn to make "catholes" as detailed in the Boy Scout Handbook? Use leaves to clean ourselves, too. (Left hand only, please)

While I love nature, and enjoy experiencing it responsibly, I like modern conveniences quite a bit. For the Summiteers to suggest that flushing toilets are a bad thing, it shows where their heads are at.

And considering the topic of discussion, one flush should give 'em a swirly!

Said Moore, "The environmentalists try to inject guilt into people for consuming, as if consuming by itself causes destruction to the environment. There is no truth to that. You have the wealthiest countries on earth with the best-looked-after environment."

Our kids are taught in the Marxist public schools: "20% of the world consumes 80% of its resources!" That may be true, but what's left unsaid is that 20% of the world CREATES 80% of its wealth, and Marxists don't think people should be able to enjoy what they create.

[Billthedrill]

Much of this "consumption" is nothing of the sort - water isn't a non-renewable resource. Typically in the West flush water leads to a sewage plant, wherein what happens? The sewage is separated out and the water is returned to the environment. You'd think this would be a Greenie's dream, but noooooo...

This is nothing more than guilt-mongering, and it's quite a stretch at that. It stems from the fundamentally Marxist economic assumptions that anything one group has that is better than that possessed by another is so by virtue of theft, that natural resources, like any other wealth, are a zero-sum game and that it is the duty of government to see that they are evenly distributed. These assumptions are false.

[Landru]

Indian gal, huh?
Explains all the junk floating in India's "sacred rivers" & *why*, huh??

...Kar, just what would they have us all crappin' in, on, or around, anyway?

[G-Bear]

Ann Coulter got it right: If these people put as much
effort into work as they do hating the U.S., they would
have indoor plumbing by now.

[mhking]

You sure this ain't from "The Onion"???

Press reports note the older, high-flush-capacity toilets are now sold on the black-market, sometimes smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico and Canada.

Damn right!

I have personally viewed an outhouse used by blacks in a third world country. I think you should all understand how this works. The outhouse is abandoned when the user can no longer find a clean spot to wipe his finger on the wall.
