#1 Re. "Sweden...If you were an American state, your economy would rank just five rungs from the bottom — down there with Mississippi."
Please don't insult Mississippi - the most generous folks in America (with their OWN money!)

#4 In America you can point your SUV off the pavement bop down a dirt road and nitrogenate the soil in a primative yet sensitive way. It reliefith the anxiety and restoreth the bladder. The question is.... how far a detour is necessary? Is waving at the traffic okay? Or should only the sounds of the wind, birds and assorted small furry creatures be heard?

#5 These Euro-wimp commies are closet racists:
I know quite a few men from West Africa, Latin America, and East Asia. I haven't taken a survey on this particular custom, but I think it's a safe bet that not one of them would sit down to pee, and they would think you were a castrato if you did it.

#6 "My brother, for example, would not dream of standing up. Among the young, leftish intelligentsia, there is also a view that to stand up is a nasty macho gesture."

Indeed. Much more appropriate to bend over.
Take it like a person.

#7 They are just practising for absorption into the ummah.
Ask the imam: How bad is it peeing while standing?
Q5-: How bad is it peeing while standing in cammod (the english style toilet) but taking tahara or istanja with tissue paper!
5. It is not permissible to stand and urinate as this is now the culture of the Kuffaar. However, if one does urinate standing due to necessity and cleans himself with toilet paper, he will be excused provided the urine does not splash on his clothing or body.

#8 Oh, and sensitive Swedes and genuflecting Germans, be sure to wear a hat (or turban) while you sit and do your business. Do we have to wear torpee for toilet?

#9 Of course, this practice will soon spread to American LLLs, and institutions like Evergreen College will be removing standup urinals from their men's rooms altogether, assuming they haven't abolished gender-segregated facilities altogether by then. What do you call a unisex, sit-down only restroom? A LLLoo, of course.

#10 My ex-wife once asked me why I didn't sit down to wizz. I said "Because I don't have to". I slept on the couch for a few nights.

#11 I think Jessica really needs to hand her man a mop if he can't aim correctly. (BTW, why can't he clean the friggin' loo, darling? Ever think of that?)
Or put a little target in the toilet. Change the light bulb to something brighter.
Yeah, I know, I'm making too much sense.....

#13 Let me get this straight:

They hate America because they pee all over themselves ?


Did I miss a few dots here ?

#14 I'm still trying to figure why Moose limbs spend so much time watching each other go potty. I could't tell you what my wife does in the barfroom. Couldn't tell you what my ex-wife does, either. Post-adolescence, I've only known a single woman who would occasionally take a leak while I was around, and that was a long time ago in a galaxy (and culture) far away. I have even less idea what casual acquaintances do, of either sex.

I don't think that's because I'm oversensitive or over-fastidious. Knowing just doesn't do anything for me. Discussing it does less. Yet the Faithful™ seem to have recorded evey time the Profit's bowels erupted and what he was wearing at the time.

#15 There is a lot more interesting info in the article than how men pee. Honestly, don't people have more important things to worry about than anatomical geometry when peeing?

Standing to pee or sitting to pee has nothing to do with masculinity. I wouldn't start an argument over it (although routinely leaving behind a wet toilet seat could certainly provoke one).

#16 To (mis)quote Tom Petty:

Well I won’t sit down, no I won’t sit down
You can stand me up in front of the commode
But I won’t sit down

Gonna stand my ground, won’t be turned around (ewww!!)
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won’t sit down
