everyone should just urinate in the street - modern ppl are too squeamish

Urine is sterile when it comes out of your body. How long does it stay sterile when it's puddled under a parked car? I presume all you urine apologists would have no problem drinking out of a glass I peed in, right? Urine is sterile, after all.

like i don't do it bc i don't want to offend ppl's sensibilities but if the culture was cool w/ it i'd totally urinate wherever whenever

is prospect park even in the same borough as williasmburgs. im very unsure of what the terrain is like on the other side of the bridge

totally ok with parents using this technique in their own home. heard of it before, toilet trained at three weeks is rubbish, but it does apparently work.
routine peeing or pooing in the street though is not ok, however old you are.
i mean i don't care if urine is sterile. so what? crude oil is sterile. doesn't mean i want it dumped on the pavement.

i think peeing in the street should be okay. obv feces is a totally different situation.

dy OTM about gross public bathrooms, but the solution there is to clean the bathrooms, not to turn our city streets into open sewers of human waste.
xp biologically speaking, sure, but you can probably eat your own poop, too. I guess my point is that just because something is taboo doesn't mean it's a great thing. Some things are taboo for a reason.
I don't know, this is a dumb thing to argue about. You badass dudes who don't care about pee are just too tough for me, I guess.
― carl agatha, Friday, 19 April 2013 23:09 (eleven years ago) link
i've learned to ignore it, too. but that doesn't change the fact that it's still disgusting & that parents shouldn't be enabling their kids to go in public.
Prospect Park is mostly in Park Slope ... which also has its share of yuppie/hipster douchebags who might read an article like this one & decide that this is a good idea.

probably children should not be allowed outdoors until they are fully potty trained and able to speak in complete sentences, so i think 12 would be a good age to let kids out

in rome all the public toilets have the seat removed - thank god for strong thigh muscles i guess

Rome also has a lot of squat-over-a-hole-in-the-floor public toilets, too.

Do you guys seriously never let your kid pee on a tree in the park in an emergency situation? What about your dog, do you find an open coffeeshop so it can piss in a toilet?

emergencies? sure.
this article was about yuppies who let their kids shit and piss in public and in their sinks in lieu of as part of their potty training, which is totally different.

reminder that pet owners let their pets shit and pee in public and also at home in the case of cats and these same pet owners let these same pets sit and rub their shit encrusted butts all over the bed, sofa, floor, carpet, rug
pet owners: is it gross that your pet poops and doesn't wipe

I have totally taken my kid behind a tree to pee when necessary, that's just standard op procedure in an emergency. but as a matter of habit gtfo

dogs eat their own vomit in public I don't see why you'd have any problem training your kid to do the same

this is probably why some cultures consider dogs to be unclean.
i've never kissed a dog -- or any other non-human animal -- on the mouth, and never will.

I've heard "peace out" said by people departing, obviously, I just never saw "peaced" used as an intransitive verb. My vague memory is that I might at that time have said "and then booked," but who can say what year was the year of booking-as-departing.

"Booked" is pretty old, much older than "peaceful."
