the toilet seat analogy... something i've just thought up and i'm sure it can be applied to politics in some way (there's been a lot of socialism vs capitalism debate recently)

a toilet seat has three stages: 1. all up, 2. seat down, 3. seat & lid (all) down. see this from a bloke's point of view.

i can either leave the seat up, be considerate for any women around (or should that be womyn ;) ), or i can put the whole lot down.

if i do the former (option #1) i am being more self-centred than if i am considerate and choose to put the seat down (#2). but then what of #3? surely putting it all down is more fair to everyone because everyone, male or female, must lift up (at least) the lid. hence it is a little bit more work for the fairness of all.

in my eyes: #1: right-wing people and capitalism
#2: whatever
#3: socialism


i dunno, i'm bored and ranting and i just went for a pee :cool:
whaddya think?


poll coming

ok... upon re-reading, this is does cross the border into "wierd"

I'm not left or right. I'm a libertarian and I usually leave the seat up. In a public bog, if I'm in a hurry, I sometimes don't even bother to lift the secondary seat before having a piss. I have good aim, so to be honest I generally don't make the toilet experience any less enjoyable for my fellow bog-patrons.

ummm....yeah.......

As a revolutionary communist, I take a big shit then leave it floating. I also set fire to the toilet paper and kick holes in the walls, then spend the rest of the afternoon complaining that I have no useable toilet and that the oppressor class should let me share theirs.

I really needed this laugh today-thanks.
You forgot to mention that you actually clog the toilet BEFORE you use it.

Actually made me laugh out loud, if my signature was working that would be in it.

On a side note, i dont understand this poll what so ever.

Oh.... yeah, you can take that as read. :)

Your sig is working. At least, I can see it.
Can you see anybody else's signatures? For example, is mine visible? If not, you probably have sigs turned off.
Go here (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/profile.php?do=editoptions), scroll down to the section labelled "Thread Disply Options"(it should be the third section), and tick the box for "Show Signatures".

That should fix it. Unless your problem is something entirely different, in which case, ignore this post.

Hmm. I am left wing, but I don't always put the lid down...I forget on occasion, but mostly I put the lid down.

I don't think I'm going to let Lacadaemon use my toilet :D

You're on the right, as am I if the Political compass is anything to go by. I do #1 as well! Who knows, the next toilet user could also be a peeing man!

I'm a die-hard capitalist. I can't go until someone warms the seat up for me first, and I like my extra-soft toilet paper within easy reach. I spend inordinate amounts of time in there while other people are queued outside, because I can, and nobody can do anything about it. When i'm finished, i'll flush, but i'll leave nasty skidmarks on the seat and piss puddles on the floor for someone else to clean up. And I don't use air freshener.

;)

EDIT- Oh, and by the way, I used up all of the toilet paper. Tough luck.

These functions are only for mortals.

I leave the seat down, because I got in a habit of sitting on the toilet

I have both the lid and seat down because firstly, the toilet smells. Secondly the toilet makes strange noises (well, mine does anyway). Thirdly it is bad feng shui (Sp?) to have open a portal where that much water (representing money) is flushed down the drain.

I assume as a libertarian I assume I would have everyone build their own toilet or pay for the privlege of using someone else's?

If my roommates leave the seat up I slam it down hard enough for them to hear it clear across the apartment. I told them if I ever go in there while it's dark and fall in they'd better hope I drown.

Why? I mean: Who cares?

If it's up, put it down.

If it's down a man wants to pee standing up, they have to put it up and I NEVER heard anyone complain about that.

Obligatory other:

Libertarian (neither right wing or left--we don't use the linear scale).

Everything down--don't like the cats having the chance to fall in. :D

And anyone who drops their drawers and plops down somewhere without having a look first, deserves to fall in the toilet.

I have also never heard of a guy accidentally peeing on a closed toilet seat because someone put it down.

Anarcho-Capitalist: The last guy using the toilet was taking too long, so I beat him up and threw him out.
Nazi:Only Aryans get to use the toilet. All impure races must clean our toilets with their bare hands until they die of infectious disease!
Stalinist: You will help us build this toilet, and you will get a 15-second time-share of toilet time. You will be watched while in the toilet.

:D
