What makes you think Daddy uses the outdoor toilet too? hehehe....

[G-Bear]

Ann Coulter got it right: If these people put as much
effort into work as they do hating the U.S., they would
have indoor plumbing by now.

[Paulus Invictus]

You probably knew that Moyers was fully aware that liquors flow like water in the toilet at that wonderful green convention of idiots. I heard that most of the delegates went there as a huge bennie. They were attracted to the luxury accomodations at 5-star hotels and to the gourmet food and wines that they are being served, thanks to the largesse of the UN and billions of our tax money.

Repeat rhetorical question # 3497: Why are we still members of the UN whose socialist members (most of them fit the category) do all they can to trash talk the US?

You sure this ain't from "The Onion"???

Press reports note the older, high-flush-capacity toilets are now sold on the black-market, sometimes smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico and Canada.

Damn right!

I have personally viewed an outhouse used by blacks in a third world country. I think you should all understand how this works. The outhouse is abandoned when the user can no longer find a clean spot to wipe his finger on the wall.

...losing a quarter of the population every few years.

In many of our cities, would that be such a bad thing?...:^(
.....JUST KIDDING...

Al Gore's next book title ....

BUTTS IN THE BALANCE

Why not? His first book (I read the whole thing, including the Marshall plan extended to the environment idea) was an idiotic waste product.

At least they wore the right color shirts:

The flush toilet helped rid us of losing a quarter of the population every few years.

You, know the more I read about these groups, the more I think that this is part of their agenda: clear out some of the human "detritus" and then ecological divisity will once again reign, and whoever's left will get to roam the earth in some Edenic fantasy. To pave the way for their solution, they need to level the playing field for microbes.

"Press reports note the older, high-flush-capacity toilets are now sold on the black-market, sometimes smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico and Canada."

I can offer personal confirmation on this one...LOL!! Algore's an Enviro-Whacky Putz!!

FReegards...MUD

So tell me, how are these zealots handling their bodily functions at this international summit? Are they using flush toilets or do they have trenches dug out in the back? I would like to know.

Actually, I live in an apartment and my landlord was required to replace my showerhead with one that sprays less water.

If you unscrew the actual head, there is a tiny little black plastic thingie in there that is stopping the water. Take it out & put it in a safe place so you don't forget to put it back when you move. Warning - the head scratches easily, so cover it with tape or something.

True story. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in a small town in the eastern part of Sierra Leone, West Africa, in the late 1970's. There was a Methodist-founded hospital in the town, and the time had come to update some of its facilities. Some of the board members of the hospital--White folk--proposed that the new bathrooms should follow the traditional "latrine" format, i.e, a hole in the ground; to which the local people on the Board said, "Do you really think that we LIKE to go to the bathroom that way? Don't you think that we, too, want the benefits of civilization, such as water-seal toilets?" And that view prevailied, and the remodeling included water-seal toilets.

The toilet is an environmentally friendly device. Modern sanitation is essential in highly dense population area.

A majority of people don't have yards big enough to support a septic system. In fact septic systems are banned in urban areas!

The only other option left is to relieve oneself in a hole in the ground or on a open channel along the street side resulting in possible soil and water contamination, poor air and life quality and a hygeine hazard en route to the waste water treatment plant (if one is allowed to exist). But then it would have to oversized (using bigger pumps, using bigger motors or engines) to treat rainwater when the two mix.

The fact that they could miss target so bad is mindboggling! Why not a reasonable plausible target such the dishwasher? Things like this make be think such people are more stupid than evil.

[GiovannaNicoletta]

A female panelist from India complained that the flush toilet encourages excessive water consumption around the world and is not ecologically friendly.

My boss was telling me about somebody he knows who yearned to go to India after seeing the beautiful pictures of the country in travel magazines.

She and her husband did go and returned with the most horrible stories of open, raw sewers and a constant, pervasive stench throughout the entire city they visited. She told me of how street children will crouch right out in the open and defecate then be cleaned by dogs.

If this is what this woman from India thinks is the best way to live, she already has it available. She needs to leave her nice, comfortable house with its indoor plumbing in the country and go live in places where what she is advocating for the entire world already exists. Why can't these people live in their own primordial, primitive, filthy environment that their "delegates" seem to love so much and leave the rest of us alone? If their way is so superior, I'm sure America will catch on someday and have open sewers of our very own running through the middle of our towns and cities.

If what they're aiming for is to bring America down to their substandard level of living, they will have a huge fight on their hands. Better to just keep on destroying the third world and leave us alone.

I've got three of these damn things in my house. I found if you hold the handle down after a poop, it goes down just fine and uses the same amount of water like the old ones. If you don't, it's "Honey! Get me the plunger!"
