Socialist Party In Sweden Wants Men To Sit Down To Pee

[Jamie D]

Gee you must be rich Jamie! A three hole job, we could only ever afford one!

The could be a cost saving on not needing urinals. Always useful in the company bottom line. 

I am not surprised though, when I was studying Peter the Great of Russia I found out that he got the brilliant new idea for a secret police from the Swedes, who had been operating one since the 17th Century.

Karen.

Oh my.  That pun knocked the air right out of me.

[PrincessKnight]

I'm sorry, but how bad is their aim that the improvement of urinal accuracy requires a law?

I'm sorry Sweden, as much as I'd love to see your country, I don't think I'll be using the mens' rooms there...
(Though hopefully I wouldn't have to)

Hey, if it was Germany there would be a DIN approved procedure for it too!

[eshaver]

All this comming from the same country who also gave us Volvos and Sabbs

[Joann]

Good!!.. They should just sit down and shut up.

[JoanneL]

Well is it more hygenic to sit down. Since being on HRT I seem to spray more when urinating. In any case are we not girls ?

[MadelineB]

Finally a country advanced enough to solve the problem of those who leave the seat up! BRAVO.

[cindianna_jones]

I have one word to say about this. AMEN! Are they going to require that they put the seat down when they are done too?

Once the "sit to pee" law takes effect and each male legislator (and member of the supreme court) finds out what it's like to sit down on a dirty toilet bowl because someone left the seat up, I think the "seat down" law will get a lot of traction. There will likely be mandatory minimum sentencing, with the full penalty to be assigned by a panel of sitting judges.

sitting judges... ha! You are too fun. Can you come out and play?

Always. But here in the news forums I ought to act moderately  , so if you would humor me, we should make a funny thing happen on the way to another forum.  If the humorous comments don't go soon, the movement of this topic may become forced, and readers could be impacted.

Humorous comments are permitted in the News Forum... besides, I'd hate to flush them out or close the lid on this topic.

Now I'm the one feeling flushed. 
This subject has bowled me over.

Talk amongst yourselves...

I find it interesting that people (especially in the comment area of the link in the OP) find this such an "affront" to their freedom. Oh noez teh guvment iz interfering! Personally, I don't see what's so bad about it. I don't see a huge need for it, but there could be worse laws in the world and I wouldn't find myself picketing anything to object to the proposition or the idea of unisex washrooms (which I think there should be more of, anyways).

On a side note, I'd kill to live in a country with a socialist, feminist government...beats the heck out of our current conservative evangelist government

I make less of a mess when I stand to pee. I know where I am aiming at so there is no problem.

Leaving a mess should be illegal, not the method in which one does their business.

[Joann]

I wonder what the fine is for peeing your name in the snow?

Depends on how cute the letters are.

[Amazon D]

The real question is how would they patrol that? And how much would a  have to be paid to become a mandatory pee checker?

The new toilets would only work when your butt sits on the seat then the top would open muha ha ha ha

[Kitteh Engimeer]

Ploy to sell toilet seat covers = boost Swedish economy. Kudos, Sweden.
