Norweigan Community bans Peeing While Standing
Urination will go to committee
A local decision that schoolboys must sit on toilet seats when urinating has provoked political debate.
The head of The Democrats Party, a splinter group of former Progress Party hardliners, Vidar Kleppe, is outraged that boys at Dvergsnes School in Kristiansand have to sit and pee.
Kleppe accuses the school of fiddling with God's work, and wants the matter discussed at the executive committee level of the local council, newspaper Dagbladet reports.
"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 told the newspaper.
"It is a human right not to have to sit down like a girl," Kleppe said.
Principal Anne Lise Gjul at Dvergsnes School would not comment on Kleppe's plans to make political waves and regretted if anyone was offended by the ban on standing and passing water.
Gjul told NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting) that the young boys are simply not good enough at aiming, and the point was to have a pleasant toilet that could be used by both boys and girls.
I keep hoping that something was lost in the translation.

I can see the rationale behind this. If the toilets are shared, and the boys are pissing all over the seats, it's only fair to make them sit down so the girls don't have to sit in piss. The ideal solution would be to get separate facilities.

My ex had an older, widowed aunt. When asked why she never remarried, she replied "Well hell, if I wanted yellow carpet in my bathroom I'd install it myself." :D
This is what comes of having too much cold weather and four months of night. People go nuts trying to figure out shit to screw with.
I demand home urinals!!!
The time has arrived!!!
This simple solution is cheap, saves water, and solves the seat problem once and for all. It only requires a little space and one more set of pipes behind the wall.
John the revolution!

Might as well, men refuse to put the seat down anyway (I call for laws requiring men and women to put both the seat and the lid down, fair for everyone!)

:lol:
I would love home urinals. I want the old fashioned kind you never see anymore. The kind that's tiled into the floor and is about 4 feet tall.

Is this the peeing in the shower thread?

..but don't forget to move the dishes first........

Just as long as it isn't the poop molecules on the toothbrush thread.
The kitchen sink is a is easier than going all the way to the bathroom.
But, paper towels just ain't Charmin, that's for sure. :headshake
why must we urinate onto porcelain at all? the fenceline is good enough for every other critter, it's good enough for me.
Urinals are not necessarily the answer. I'm here to tell you, if you are ever at an archery or shooting range and someone from my company appears, you better run and hide. 'Cause going by the mess under the urinals, these boys cannot aim.
I once had a boyfriend who claimed that it wasn't his fault his "aim" was bad, the stream just would not come out straight no matter what he did, and consequently at some point in his early teens he gave up and just sat down to pee every time.
How do they enforce a rule like that anyway?? Implications of monitering everyones urination aside, can you imagine getting busted for somethink like that? I'd feel like I'd stepped into the twilight zone...

Might I suggest standing in front of the target? fwiw, their blind epileptic palsied incontinent brothers work at my office too.
Cycling a couple of years back in northern France my pal and I were on top of a steep hill watching somewhat in awe as this very fit French cyclist shot effortlessly up the hill towards us. It didn't end there. He stopped on the brow a few yards in front of us, pulled to the side of the road, and, still astride his bike, whipped out his length and proceeded to relieve himself over the crossbar into the greenery alongside. When he had finished he banged his instrument on the crossbar a couple of times to remove any surplus drops, replaced it inside his shorts and cycled off, giving us a wink on the way. We remained jaw-droppingly speechless throughout the incident. Now that's the way to do it!
Why bother? On the downhill he should have been going fast enough to just squirt into the slipstream, the same as a driver propping the door ajar in a car, at 70. :rolleyes:

...and all this time I thought that was screenwash!
You know, cf, I saw a picture of what you descibed the guy doing, in the last couple weeks. Being a still frame I don't know if he banged it on the bar, though.;)

Aah, the agonising incompleteness of the still frame photo...
Issue those handheld plastic urinals that are used in hospitals to the boys. After urinating into those while standing up, they can pour the contents into the toilet with great accuracy. They can write their names on the urinals and store them on a shelf in the bathroom; or, they can make little "gun" belts and holsters for them to tote their urinals around in. Yup, maybe it's time those li'l partners became urinal slingers; also, there'll be a bathroom break for the boys only at High Noon!
Stunned speechless, rk?
What? I'm a guy.
You didn't write anything so she asked if you were stunned speechless by UT's comment. ;)
Nope... I want a damn urinal. With a little cake in it. Been asking for years. Trumped every time... but I get other stuff every time we move as a concession/compromise prize. So, it has been worth it.
Noodle, a friend of mine told me the story about a friend of his, lots of beer, a very black South Dakota night, and a fenceline. An electrified fenceline -- 12 volts direct current off a storage battery. To conserve current, the fence is fitted with a switch that turns the current on and off automatically, spending only some of its time actually energized.
It switched on right when he was about halfway through getting rid of quite a bit of beer. The DC locked him open.
Friend learned a whole new meaning to the phrase "piss and moan."
As for this Norwegian affair, what was it Mark Twain said of school boards?

That's what I was wondering. Would male teachers have to accompany the boys to the bathroom and stare sternly at them while the kids accomplished the act? Would they install videocams in the bathroom, so a security guard could monitor the kids? What would be the penalty for a boy who stood up to pee? What's wrong with having the janitor hit the bathrooms 3 times a day? Also, boys and girls sharing the same bathrooms now? Maybe I'm getting out of touch in my old age, but that DOES seem like an embarassing situation for all parties concerned.
I'm pretty glad I'm australian. :)
So why the little Union Jack in the corner of your flag ?
That's a particularly stupid question buddug. If you need an explanation you'll have to get it from someone else because I'm pretty tired of your tripe.
