Some towns have stainless steel toilets that are easily cleaned and virtually indestructible. Has to be a more civilized way to pee.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12977868106173983411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-53573512477407692252015-07-17T08:58:18.496-04:002015-07-17T08:58:18.496-04:00I suppose it's amusing or or not how you see t...I suppose it's amusing or or not how you see this video.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPl94ir6dLw<br />retiredenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693405694592881395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-85868095557818825342015-07-17T08:51:06.262-04:002015-07-17T08:51:06.262-04:00As a guy who has been known to whiz in the back st...As a guy who has been known to whiz in the back streets of NY City in my teen's and 20's - after drinking gallons of beer - I understand why people object.<br />And it's usually a male thang, 'cause we can just whip it out and pee, and not have to crouch and cover-up.<br /><br />Sure, it's objectionable.<br />Sure, it's disgusting.<br />But in case people don't know it, there are few if any public toilet's in the streets. <br /><br />Sure, you can go in a bar or store. But, they make you buy something first.<br />I can't tell you how many times I paid for a seltzer that I didn't drink, and tipped the bar-keep for the seltzer I didn't drink, just because I had to piss, and it was daylight, with too many people out - and this is without drinking gallons of beer!<br />Some of us are on medications which make you urinate.<br /><br />I can understands why bars and stores require you to purchase something so that you can use their bathroom - because if they didn't, people would be using their facilities beyond the establishment's ability to keep it at least relatively clean.<br /><br />I remember NY City's attempts at providing public bathrooms back in the late 80's and 90's, but those efforts failed. Not everyone has change in their pockets.<br /><br />And, having smelled some of the pedestrian tunnels from one line of subway to another, I can vouch for how revolting that it.<br /><br />But if a city doesn't provide places for people to pee and poop, what are people to do?<br />Sure, the homeless are a major problem. But they're not the only ones! I've been down near Wall Street at night, and seen plenty of guys in very expensive suits leaning against a 'wall' on the 'street,' and pissing like race-horses.<br /><br />Because of my handicap, I haven't been on the streets in NY City since 2007.<br />All I know is that after a great pastrami on rye at Katz's Deli, when I walked through my old Ukrainian neighborhood in the East Village back then, I had to pee.<br />So, what did I do?<br />I went into The Telephone Bar (I was shocked it was still around), paid for a seltzer which I didn't drink, pissed, and left.<br /><br />Public bathrooms, Mr. Mayor!<br />Clean ones.<br />And pay people to work to keep them clean!<br />JOBS!<br />Whodathunkit?!?!?!

He's an extremely unthreatening person who doesn't even panhandle; he's fond of directing traffic at 79th and Broadway, and though obviously mentally ill he does a fairly good job. <br /><br />The worst thing to me about the story was the way Allan and Murdoch use it as a pretext for attacking Bill de Blasio, as if Tucker hadn't been a fixture on the street throughout the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations. (Allan may not have lived up here all that long, it wasn't so fancy back in the day.) <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/20/nyregion/in-wake-of-attack-giuliani-cracks-down-on-homeless.html" rel="nofollow">Giuliani's personal responsibility for the numbers of homeless sufferers from mental illness on the NYC streets</a> is pretty well known.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.com
