3. not all boys pee standing up, what's the point anyway

</p>
<p>Are they XXY or something?</p>
<p>Urinals are efficient. Have you ever been to a sporting event or a concert? Guys go in and out because 50 of them can line up and **** in a urinal together. And the ladies' bathroom always has a line weaving around forever because stalls are less space-effective.</p>
<p>Yes, but I wasn't considering boys and girls living together at a sporting event or a concert.
You might consider boys doing their small business seating unmanly but being rational you have to admit that has no support and is simply backward, pubertal and stubborn.
In fact, as you said, due to physics and a certain spreading factor not everything hits the target and considering there is a different way it's just redundant.
That will be my last comment to the controversy about peeing standing up or seating, unless you desperately want to discuss it.</p>
<p>By the way XXY is called the Klinefelter's syndrome and is a serious medical case. It's a special form of trisomy which means that you have three instead of two chromosomes in one "pair" eg. trisomy 23 one of the most common disabilities. Even though the Klinefelter's syndrome's consequences are not that serious I assume you don;t want to joke about that.</p>
<p>Are you seriously arguing about guys sitting down while peeing? All Columbia2002 was trying to say is that certain stereotypical behaviors make living with the opposite sex difficult. Women and men just tend to go about their daily lives differently.</p>
<p>Geez, yes I am but I'm sick of arguing with stubborn, prude, backward, pubertal Americans who are so insecure of their masculinity that they have to pee standing up - despite no single serious advantage and several disadvantages - to feel manly enough.
I'm done with that theme, that's totally trivial.</p>
<p>Yeah, it really indicates that we're backward, stubborn, prudish and yet somehow immature at the same time when "we americans", in a practice amazingly performed throughout the world, pee standing up.</p>
<p>Guys, it has nothing to do with the fact that it's a lot faster, or that we avoid getting various toilet-seat nastiness on us, or that it's what our parents told us to do and we never saw any reason to change - it's because we're pubertal. Because peeing standing up makes us feel manly. That's the only reason we do it. Got that? Just want to make sure everyone's clear on that point.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, it's totally mature and appropriate to sit around accusing entire message boards of being immature, calling names, and then trying to "have the last word" by declaring how sick you are of arguing this point and saying you're "done with that theme".</p>
<p>I'd continue this conversation but I have to go participate in a mud wrestling tournament and then shoot off some guns and impregnate a few girls. Talk to you later, you pee-squatting suckers!</p>

<p>I stayed out of this thread for a reason but this whole post just deserves a good kudos and golf clap = )</p>
<p>Okay, I don't like leaving a thread with this pretended superiority - as I almost did, either, so I'm going to discuss this theme even though I really think it's trivial and inappropriate especially at CC.</p>
<p>Furthermore I obviously exaggerated and generalized unjustifiably.</p>
<p>I think our problem is we can't leave things unanswered and so can't I. So I'm gonna make my point to this ridiculous discussion (no accusation, I'm inter alia responsible for that) again:</p>
<p>So what are the advantages of peeing standing up:
Faster? A few seconds maybe, again it's not about any concert, sporting event et cetera. Technically your saving the time that you need to sit down and to stand up again - wow!
No toilet nastiness? Well, sooner or later you're gonna sit on it anyways and peeing standing up can only make this nastiness worse.
Disadvantages:
The obvious spreading factor of liquid hitting water or - even worse - solid surface. I don't know the architecture of your bathroom but anything close to the toilet gets some dashes - towels, shower curtain - again, I don't know your bathrooms architecture but I assume it's not big enough to provide a safety gap between toilet and everything else.</p>
<p>So what is left? Yes the lost masculinity. The ability that distinguishes us from all women. Why do we pee standing up? Because we can!?</p>
<p>Quote (usual qouting doesn't work at the moment):
"Are they XXY or something?"</p>
<p>I'm sorry if I misinterpreted that statement but I thought it clearly suggests that men peeing not seating up are something between XX and XY so less masculine than XY.
So, again, I exaggerated and generalized unjustifiably but I still to agree to my point.</p>
<p>So, please let us end this discussion in peace, though not in agreement. I let you have the last word if you want to but I also don't wanna try to pretend any superiority by that suggesting it's my decision who has the last word... You know what I mean.</p>
<p>Hope you had fun at your wrestling tournament.</p>
<p>The test of a good message board is whether you can laugh about it. Just like G K Chesterton's quip about religion.</p>
