Vancouver restaurant bans men from peeing standing up
http://blogs.vancouversun.com/ ^

A Vancouver restaurant has come up with an interesting solution to the men-can’t-aim problem: Ban men from peeing standing up.

Recently, my wife and I had brunch at the Edible Canada bistro on Granville Island. When I went to use the facilities, I was surprised to see just one unisex bathroom with about six private stalls and a communal sink area

Even more surprising, though, was the sign above the toilet, showing a stick man tinkling into a toilet with a line through it. Yes, Edible Canada has banned men from peeing standing up

I work on a maintnance crew, and on occasion we've had to clean public restrooms when the janitor skipped them.

I can attest, the men's bathrooms are infinitely dirtier, stinkier, stickier...than the woman's rooms.

Would not eat there, and I’m a woman. Unisex restrooms, ugh.

Let the men have a urinal or too, and their own restroom, and what happens in the Gents, stays in the Gents.

Please.

Man evolved to being bipedal just so we could pee standing up. After millions of years, we’re not going back because some chick says so.

Unisex
To not offend the transsexuals
For equality

Liberalism run amok and eventually to the overrnning of the Anglosphere to political correctness and eventual Dhimmitude and death by the Religion of Peace.

They slit the throat of those who oppose Sha’ria Law and the pussified, self-loathing Canadian Socialists scramble to not “offend” people who voluntarily mutilate their own genitalia.

Where did the White male go? The loser, skinny jeans, noseringed Ipod wearing Justin Beiber’s fearing global warming are going to lead us?

Wow, thank God half my life’s over, I could not imagine what my kids will face in 50 years.

Well, now we know why the “Canuck’s” couldn’t win the Stanley Cup. No such problem in Boston.

Real men ignore such signs.

Oh, the feminization of men is a Satanic thing, and his realm includes this whole world.

What God created separate (Gen 1:27), Satan seeks to blur, and what God puts together (marriage/family), Satan seeks to separate.

My response is the same as during a second amendment argument: "From my cold, dead hands".

If guys would sit on the seat as required and then pee against the stall door, they would probably change this policy

It’s not so much that I can’t aim, it’s that I won’t care what I hit if I see such a stupid sign.

Soon after we came out of the caves, men began to mark their territory. If you want to help us, put a fire hydrant in the middle of an empty room... then we’ll stay out of the stalls. Oh, and keep the women out of our room!!!

BTW... why aren’t women required to leave the lid up, so it’s ready when we get there... it would be one less thing for us to do and it would help us focus on our aim.

Many years ago I owned a Country Western bar. We had a seating capacity of 356 and on the weekends we were always filled and often way over capacity. I had to help clean the restrooms. Sure the floor in the mens room was often wet around the pee troff. HOWEVER, the women’s restroom was ALWAYS a filthy pig stye.... I hated that room...hated it, hated it, hated it.

I figure that in a few short years, todays men will start having periods, so maybe it’s a good idea to train them to sit..

If you raised them right, they’ll be fine. Our boys (12 & 13) don’t buy into any of that sissy crap. When asked if their classmates do, they confirm the fact, but are okay with their classmates’ decisions, quickly pointing out that it just makes themselves all that more appealing to the girls.

Some things never change.
