"Q14: What about public restrooms, i.e., urine?
[The following was contributed by Mike Berrow.]
I avoid urine too, but that's due to the "yuck" factor that we were all brought up with and not due to any science. Urine is sterile and harmless. I pulled the following quotes from the web:
... Well, urine is not a toxic waste product and this has been scientifically proven. 95% of urine is water, 2.5% consists of urea and the remaining 2.5% is a mixture of minerals, salt, hormones and enzymes. Toxic substances are being removed from the body through the liver and intestines, through the skin and through the outbreath. The main function of the kidneys is to keep the composition of the blood in optimal balance. When there is to much water, the kidneys will remove it. But that doesn't make water into a toxic waste product ..."
You can find urea in many skin products as one of the main components. Furthermore, urine is entirely sterile after secretion and has an antiseptic effect.
Many medical researchers, unlike most of us, know that far from being a dirty body-waste, fresh, normal urine is actually sterile and is an extraordinary combination of some of the most vital and medically important substances known to man. Now this fact may be unknown to the vast majority of the public today, it is nothing new to modern medicine.
If anything, the urea is probably good for your skin.

Part of it is a cultural thing. I was in Montreal for weeks and noticed that every urinal was clean, that toilet seats were clean, even in clubs, sporting events and in large venues.. Given the same situation in the states those toilets would have been covered in crap and urine.. I noticed the same thing when I was in Europe, perhaps us Americans are just pigs when it comes to public restrooms.

Tell you what, next time I go into the bathroom and there is piss on the toilet seat I'll call you to come lick it off mmmkay?
I read about it somewhere including this:
How bought the fact that the army had this machine that cleaned dirty water, and said that even after you clean pee, it can still cause damage to you.
Either that or you can use your pee to for your rations and and it will work, but not for too long cause it was bad for your liver or something.
don't remember exactly, but it was one of these and either one doesn't sound good.
The majority of toilets in public restrooms are included for code reasons ONLY. The only toilet that is to be used for #2 is the handicap stall. The handicap stall is not to be used for peeing unless you're handicapped, or taking a leak while you're dropping off the kids. Unauthorized use of the handicap stall is a sin punishable by revocation of the man-card.
And learn how to use your wang, I don't get splashback on urinals.

Hand in your man card asap.

45 degree angle? You are definately doing it wrong. At 45 degrees you are shooting it upwards. You need to shoot at a 310.545 degree angle for optimal non-splashbackage.
