In September, the headmistress of the Dvergsnes primary school in Kristiansand, Norway, proposed that boys be taught to urinate while seated, in order to reduce splashing and mistargeting, which burden the cleaning staff

That's why they invented urinals...and trees.

[My dad's best buddy, who was a real hillbilly with nine kids used to open the window on the second floor and piss out the window every morning.]


In my wilder days, I worked for a resort during the summer and lived in employee housing which was a double wide trailer shared by three male bachelors. The back door was not a functional entrance as it had no steps and simply opened out to a four foot drop into the thorn bushes. Our constant, late night, drunken parties quickly transformed the doorway into "the pi$$ porch" and by the end of the summer all the vegetation outside of it mysteriously disappeared.

"??? I fail to see the connection between this and urinating. I don't equate serving and gun ownership with manhood if that's what you meant."

Yeah, that's my impression of this thread. If you sit to piss, you are a lady. Why using a toilet seat in private places is considered effeminate? I also use a seat when I use bathroom at homes where I visit. Because I don't want the lady of the house to wipe stranger's urine splashes off their walls, sinks, or leave it on their towels. I don't think this concern makes me a lady, does it?

Yes thank GOD and they took the stupidity with them too!
