Man urinates in resevoir. Now resevoir needs draining.

[Nik]

what about the animals that piss in it? that shit in it? that die in it?

what those don't bother you?

Where are the carcasses? It's not an animal graveyard.

The reservoir is fenced off. Stop pretending that the reservoir sits right next to a dozen portapoties that the lions and tigers and bears in the area poop in.

The only thing that's getting in are very small rodents and the water gets treated before coming through people's taps anyway.

Besides, if someone got close enough to the reservoir and pissed in it, who knows what else they put in it. It was a CHEAP, prudent decision that's so pedantic that it serves only to get you retarded keyboard warriors up in arms about.

Overreact, much? Unreasonable, much? Illogical, much?

 

[cirrrocco]

Bottle it and call it Outhouse Water. "We're number 1, not number 2."

Nice.. lol

 

[busydude]

Nik, you are just embarrassing yourself.

Destrekor is one of the more level headed and sane member of this forum.. and that water bureau chief was NOT acting on logic,but instead on the "yuck" factor.

open air potable air reservoirs? what the hell?

From the article
‘I made orange juice with that water this morning. That’s not what I want to hear.’ ”

you make orange juice with oranges, not with water. What the hell?

yuck factor when birds are shitting in it?

this story is really weird

You've never read a concentrate label, have you.

And, no, she didn't make anything with the water from that reservoir.

I'm not embarrassed. You must be mistaken. Again. Just because it doesn't make sense to YOU doesn't mean that it wasn't the right decision.

To be fair it's not necessarily illogical to act in a manner to sedate the illogical responses of others in expectation that the end result will be better. That is what the water chief implied in his response. It's simply unfortunate that there are those idiotic enough (see: Nik) that do think a little piss in pre-filtered water supplies is disgusting.

Fair enough; makes sense.

You're trying really really hard to insult me and troll, aren't you.

You're also putting words into my mouth in an effort to force my statements to fit your agenda.

When you're done being a fucking moron, we can continue a reasonable conversation.

 

[Nik]

See, I said as much several posts ago. However, because I'm the one that said it, you cuntwaffles just blow it off and twist it and continue to argue.

I hope you all drink pee.

I'd be really upset if I had to drink piss water...

You are an imbecile.

 

[Nik]

You are an imbecile.

Based on what? What you WANT me to think? The mindset you're projecting onto me? I say one thing, you reply and pretend I said something else. Who's the imbecile? Oh right! You.

Certainly not because of anything I've actually said, because my being an imbecile for such an opinion doesn't make sense.

You've already stated that urinating in a resevoir containing to be filtered before consumption is tantamount to drinking piss water, and that doing such would make you upset. You've said this. Don't deny it.

 

[gaidensensei]

you make orange juice with oranges, not with water. What the hell?

Probably meant frozen canned orange juice. Do you fellows not have that where you are?

You mean that stuff isn't meant to be consumed by the spoonful straight out of the can? :hmm:

Quote me.

I have never said that drinking piss water is the same as drinking water that has been pissed in and filtered.

You want me to have said as much, though. You want me to have said as much so badly that you're willing to read exactly what I type and simply gloss over it while your brain injects what you wanted to have read.

You want it so bad you can taste it!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

So then why did you bring up "piss water" in the first place? Are you saying that your usage of that statement had no purpose? Because I inferred that bringing it up in a thread about someone urinating in an open water reservoir meant that you were equating the two.

 

[busydude]

I hope you all drink pee.

There are bigger things to worry about than pee in drinking water.

How do you lay the responsibility of "bringing up" piss water when the subject of the fucking news article is piss water?

See? I can play stupid games with you, too.

I'm reasonably certain that you're not this stupid and are just "playing dumb" because you're bored and want to troll. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume that your reading skills goes beyond a simple phonetic pronunciation of the letters on the screen.

I liked Penn & Teller's Bullshit episode where they were filling water bottles at a "water bar" with a garden hose, then telling everyone it's imported. :biggrin: Was hilarious watching those people like "wow this imported filtered pure water or whatever tastes great!"

I don't even know what your question is asking. My point is that the thread goes as follows...

1. Op posts story of city that drains an open water reservoir because of a single urination incident. Said reservoir is filtered before public consumption.
2. Everyone ridicules the water chief.
3. Someone posts the explanation of the water chief that he likely did it out of fear of irrational public outcry were it not drained.
4. Your first response is "I am a Portlander and I'd rather drink blue-green algae than another PDXer's piss. I'm glad they drained it."

Unless you lack common sense and think that the reservoir is not filtered before being taken to the tap, you are an irrational urophobe.

Do you really think I'd rather drink fatal blue-green algae than urine which is, before external contamination, a sterile non-toxic liquid?

Really?

Do you really think that?

I didn't know that blue-green algae was "fatal", and didn't know that you were being sarcastic in that post. Nor this one:

I'd be really upset if I had to drink piss water while the city flushes money down the toilet in other ways.

In fact, I think you are simply attempting to make a weak save.

 

[Nik]

Your ignorance sure didn't stop you from jumping on my ass to harass me, did it. Additionally, your ignorance didn't prompt you to even google it to educate yourself about the potential dangers, did it.

In fact, I think you are simply attempting to make a weak save.

Right. You're the one putting words in my mouth, making assumptions, and generally being a dumbass and I'M the one with a weak save.

Go fuck yourself.

Yeah, I can read Wikipedia too. The existence of some cyanobacteria which are harmful is not enough such that anyone can read your post and immediately think "Oh, he's ridiculing urination in a reservoir by comparing far worse things which exist and are filtered out". So far I've done little more than quote your exact words, and all you do is pull ridiculous explanations for what you really meant.
