It’s almost comical, but these people vote.
“low information voter” is the most polite way there’s ever been to refer to a complete moron.
I read where a large majority of male drowning victims are both alcohol in their system and their zipper is down.
No public restrooms. If you walk off the beach and cross a busy street to find a bathroom at one of the local establishments, you will run into "for customers only" signs. So you need to buy a hot dog or a slice of pizza...or you could just wade out into the ocean to waist-level, put your hands on your hips, and pretend you are admiring the horizon.
Not only peoples, but fishes, mammals, and crustaceans piss and poop in the sea. Seabirds piss and poop over the sea, too.
And in the lakes and streams, too.
If this bothers you, don’t drink when of the lakes, streams and seas of our faire landes.
Maybe Charmin should just butt out and confine themselves to making toilet paper.
you can’t pee in the bathrooms. the gays have taken them over.
So I said to the lifeguard, “What’s the big deal? Every body pees in the pool!”
He says to me, “Yeah, but they don’t do it from the diving board!”
When we were last in Papeete, the beach was off limits due to sewage dumping. Many Caribbean islands only have cess pits. They get pumped out and then sewage is deposited in caves on the windward side. They depend on tides and wave action to clean out the caves. Before tourism, these places would designate an area as “s#!+ beach” and everyone would use it as a communal toilet. The larger foreign-owned resorts sometimes have their own water treatment facilities, but not all of them.
Many of these same islands, especially the arid ones, irrigate the resort plantings with so-called gray water, which stinks and is really black water. It gets tracked into the already over-chlorinated pools and every week, kids and older folks are made ill.
Next they will be telling me that bears sh6t in the woods.
I have read that there is a reactive dye. It turns green in the presence of urine.
Hubby was a diver for years. They pee in their wetsuits to warm themselves. lol
We have a sailboat which sits in a marina. It is totally legal, acceptable, and every boat does it. Gray water goes straight into the ocean. Showers. dish water. etc.
Yes, I understand. We also have a sailboat on a lake. It has a portapotti and gets dumped in a sanitary manner, not in the lake. It also has chemicals added to it for usage while we are out on the boat.
I was referring to raw sewage at a resort on land being used for irrigation and then tracked into a pool. While the pool was highly chlorinated and I personally never had a problem, there were always several kids ill with GI symptoms every week when we were there.
Grey water from washing is another thing altogether.
Sewage is not harmless. When a nation like Tahiti, which is not exactly 1st World, bans all swimming in its capitol and admits to polluted waters, then it is not exactly a myth. We spent our vacation time on Moorea and the water was fine, as far as I know. The ocean is quite shallow and warm off Moorea, at least where we were. OTOH, we were also there another time, way back in the 1970s, when none of the island residents had plumbing. Every morning, bright and early, they would traipse up to a high point on the windward side and use a primitive outtie that was open directly to the sea. Lots of wave action there and if there were problems, its a certainty no tourist was purposefully told about it.
As for legal: is it really? Our local water cops would fine anyone they see dumping feces into the lake water. I am pretty sure it is a real law on the books. Of course, out on the open sea, no one knows.
I said gray water. Gray water is not sewage. It is never legal to dump sewage under the mileage limit.
Yes. I’m pretty sure I was making that distinction. Sorry if it wasn’t clear.
