Norweigan Community bans Peeing While Standing

Quote:

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!)

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.
