A Swedish political party is taking a stand against upright urination.
At a county council meeting Monday, the Left Party, or Vänsterpartiet, tabled a motion that would require office washrooms to be genderless with a sit-down-only requirement, reported the news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå.

I like to sit down when I pee
I can read a magazine, try to squeeze out some potential; flatulence. Than I can sleep for a few moments
And plus I am too lazy to want to clean up any splashes
Feminists are just another useful idiot group being used to advance communism.
If misogyny would advance communism better, the left would embrace it and reject feminism.
Ditto Alan Alda.
Why don’t we make it so women have to stand up?
Sweden needs an catastrophic economic depression just to keep their politicians preoccupied with something more important.
Reminds me of the joke about the old men complaining about their elimination problems, and the last guy saying he doesn’t have any problem with that at all, he does both promptly at 6 am and 6:30 am.... but then reveals he doesn’t wake up until 7.
Clearly, you have a dizzying intellect...
It all fits in with the innate socialist mindset of trying to control the actions of other people. All lefties have a natural, totalitarian streak. It’s for your own good, don’t you know. (smirk)
If only the Swedes were like this when the Poles and Russians fought them those centuries ago.
What there are going to monitors in each stall making sure men sit down?
Men will do what they always do, either lift the seat and not put it back down or try and pee through the seat and miss.
Seems God was just about done creating the universe, but he had two extra things left in his bag of creations, so he decided to split them between Adam and Eve.
He told the couple that one of the things he had to give away was the ability to stand up while urinating. “It’s a very handy thing,” God told the couple, whom he found under an apple tree.
“I was wondering if either one of you wanted the ability”.
Adam jumped up and blurted, “Oh, give that to me! I’d love to, please oh please, oh please, let me have the ability, It’d be so great! When I’m working in the garden or naming the animals, I could just stand there and let it fly. It’d be so cool, I could write my name in the snow! Oh please God, let it be me who you give that gift to, let me stand and pee, oh please...”
On and on he went like an excited little boy who had to pee.
Eve just smiled and told God that if Adam really wanted that so badly, that he should have it.
It seemed to be the sort of thing that would make him happy and really wouldn’t mind if Adam were the one given this ability.
And so Adam was given the ability to control the direction of his micturition while in a vertical position.
Adam was so happy that he celebrated by wetting down the bark on the tree nearest to him, while laughing with delight all the while.
It was so good. “Fine,” God said, looking back into his bag of leftover gifts, “What’s left here? Oh yes, multiple orgasms...”
Get your laws off my genitals!!!!!!
I haven’t yet looked at the thread to see whether this is involved, but I know several Iraqi Muslim families and it’s part of their religion/culture for males to sit down to pee.
Exactly how would the ban on standing up be enforced?
Cameras?
Infrared sensors?
Human Commode Monitors? (TSA Gropers take note)
Electronic foot sensors with audible warning alarm (toes must be facing away from commode)
I think the US Navy is phasing out urinals in its ship ‘heads’ for two reasons. First is that swabs spray everywhere and their urine is corrosive to paint and metal, and the second is that if you just have crappers, you can clean the head in a few seconds with a fire hose, which apparently you can’t do with urinals about.
I remember a story from many years ago about a gas station owner whose father had been a plumber. His restrooms were impressive, with a big drain on the floor, and a bunch of spray nozzles in the ceiling and walls. It was like an indoor car wash.
As needed, he would remove the paper, open the drain, then lock the door and turn a valve to spray high pressure water on everything all at once. Then he would secure that valve, pour cleaning solution into a tank, and turn a second valve that would spray lower pressure cleaning solution all over everything. After letting that soak for a while, he would secure that valve and turn on the high pressure valve again to rinse.
It would spend the night drying, then the next morning, he would put the paper products back in the clean restrooms.
There was one time, however, when some filthy homeless guy decided to foul up the restroom. The next time he saw him enter, he locked the door and started the cleaning cycle.
It cost him some paper towels and toilet paper, but it was worth it.
