Squatting in this manner is actually a more efficient and cleaner way of defecating.

Amazing that some people get so wound up about a design of toilet that harks back to the Victorian era.

Oh and taxpayers also include ethnic minorities, whose views should be represented.

No they should not, it is OUR country, when they moved here they accepted to abide by how we do things

Do the people that use these have the same things installed in their houses?

The article touched on that. Yet more evidence that this country, ironically, has gone down the stter.

Far from it, but I do not go about trying to change how this country does things with regards to toilets, what language we speak, whether we have Sharia law, etc

I think you need a sense of perspective, it's only a shopping centre.

Am I a bigot for thinking that a "community activist" who campaigns on "cultural understanding and community cohesion" is possibly ignoring that such understanding and cohesion should be a two way street?

That's where it starts, looking at some parts of USA ... where lots of signs are now in both Spanish and English due to all the Mexicans coming over.

I have never been to Rochdale.

I am almost certain I never will.

Much there, aside from rubbish toilets?

You are a bigot for even having that thought in your head let alone typing it.

Shame on you.

Look, if I moved to another country I would expect to live by that countries ways. If that meant stting in a hole in the ground, having my Mrs stoned to death if she played away, watching someone’s head cut off for doing a crime then so be it. I wouldn't expect things to change for me, I obviously chose that country for what it was.

I was searching online last night for something on Christmas Trees, I stumbled across an article by some labour tt giving councils guidelines on Christmas tree so as to not upset the minority.

Only here.

Squatting followed by cleaning the st off if your jacksie with water is a hell of a lot cleaner than smearing it around with scented toilet paper, however culturally shocking some people find it.
Some of us have developed to the point where we can wipe our arses with toilet paper without it geting smeared around. Ask mummy for some more potty training and then have a think about the hygiene consequences of dry paper where your fingers don't touch your own st versus room temperature water and fingernails. . . . . .
Get with the times.

Forgoing toilet paper in favour of a bum washer is the future. Tried it for the first time on a trip to India and I have never felt so clean below. Toilet paper just doesn't cut it and that is a fact. Rubbing paper on your arse is not so much cleaning it, but rather just wiping off the excess, no matter how good your potty training is.

Aiming a hosepipe at it instead however is an almost liberating feeling. You should try it in future.

That is a necessity though... In 12 states of the US, Spanish is the dominant language. If they close all the borders now and don't let any more immigration the prediction is that 30 states will have Spanish as their dominant language.*

The last US election was the first one where campaign literature was dual language to cater for the rising Spanish speaking population and the influence it has.

Oh god, that must be absolutely awful, how do they cope with having to look at Spanish?

It's certainly a 'greener' way to wipe your backside, not using any paper.... hehe

These are not new to the UK, as I said previously, I first became aware of them almost 30 years ago - the Indians used their toilet, and 'we' used ours - not once did I hear any moaning about it. I just think, thanks largely to disastrous labour policies, that 'we', overall, have become much more intolerant than we were – presumably because back then, we were free and left to make our own minds up, based on our own morals and experience – unlike now, where there is a generation that has been brought up being told how to think and what to say.
I think the only reason this is news is because we as a society have been poisoned with New Labour’s particular brand of ‘socialism’, and are now witnessing the inevitable backlash.

Yes, but if they simply say "no federal government or state agency is to send out information in a language other than English, and the government (federal or state) will not do business with any company that displays information in a language other than English, or sends out information in a language other than English, within the confines of the USA"
It might be "harsh", but it would work. It would FORCE everyone to HAVE to use English day to day

Is this replacing the native Dutch/English/Hebrew? What do the Apache's think of this?
