Since my thread yesterday entitled "Pee Sitting Down" was deleted, I've decided to start a new thread with a more design-related topic.
I don't need to hear about who pees standing up or sitting down anymore, but instead discuss the cultural differences between the western world and the eastern world in terms of toilet design.
Here in europe, there seems to be a lot of toilets with a kiind of "trough" at the back and the hole containing water stays at the front, while north american toilets pretty much all are designed with a large pool of water and the hole at the bottom.
Here in europe, it seems a lot of the men pee sitting down, probably because the trough at the back of their toilets cause the pee to spray back up and cause a bit of splashback, while in north america I hardly know of any men who pee sitting down.
the cultural differences are apparent when the european men explain that they sit down to accomodate those who come after and expect to find a clean toilet, while the north american men claim that they stand because "we can", and anyone who pees sitting down is girly.

In australia its quite common in the outer suburbs to try and make the olympics logo outside a friends house by spinning around in circles while taking a leak.
these are affectionally know as "piss rings"

The sitting down has nothing to with the trough. Because while pissing standing up sprinkles a lot round the toilet, but you won't see it. It doesn't spray back up again.
If you lay something like a newspaper round it you will see what I mean.
I don't have to show what I man I'am in standing up while peeing. I know what I'am I don't have to show.
We also have toilets with just water in them and no trough in them. They probably made these so when you shit the water doesn't splash up on your butt. Which happens...

Siting down does not happen. unless you are drunk. And then its not siting down it more lieing and siting at the same time.
I am just going to leave this topic alone now.
Good day too you SIR. How dear you.

yesterday you people were loving this thread, now you're hatin' on it like it's Teletubbies.
It's a valid question, either design-related or culture-related.
BTW, designerror, I wouldn't expect people to sit down to pee in Iceland cause the toilets must be freezing!

that was a really bad joke. Yeah I don't understand that either, why people are so hateful to talk this casual stuff.

yeah, shitty joke (no pun intended), but it was at least a little logical.

are you guys really sitting down on a public toilet?
I do it bruce lee style
I crouch

Not in public but in you office, at home or at friends.
Public toilets most have the in Germay called "Pissour" the built in to the wall toilet.Most public toilets are so dirty even I wouldn't sit down.
(Probably if everyone would sit down they wouldn' be so dirty)
