Public Urination

I have heard that they will solve this problem by building public toilets  -  after they build more hospitals, feed the poor, implement free dental, and social security.

Sorry MugTech, it is what it is.

Welcome back.

Happy New Year

I don’t think public toilets will make any difference.....it’s the way many people here have been brought up...simple living even primitive...it’s often I see men and boys having a pee wherever they want...even up the side of official public buildings and people’s homes. (Prosperidad Mindanao)

I don't burn trash and garbage, not gonna urinate in public either.

When my youngest was 3 years old, she didn't want to urinate in public. Sometimes she would be playing outside, and would hold her pee till someone can open the door for her so she could pee inside the house in her "toilet". I kept telling her to just do her #1 in the bushes. She refused.

One day she had a high fever. She was diagnosed with UTI. Her bladder was also enlarged. She had to stay at the vet's clinic overnight. My poor cat. The vet said that she could have died if I did not bring her in time. I paid PhP 3800+ in fees.

So, I set up a second litter box outside the house.

I'm guessing that sometimes people just go anywhere because they're trying to avoid getting sick. In a poor country, not everyone can afford treatment. So, it's either get sick and die or just do it.

So if, as you suggest, the only alternative to going to the toilet is getting sick or dying we have a very poor state of affairs. !
People need educating about sanitation !!!

The people I observed were walking to the court from their home.  It was not a do or die situation, but more like "Why urinate at home when I can stink up some other place?"  They were saving money by not using their own plumbing.

In addition, I have no "security" dogs, cats or roosters.  Do not have a karaoke machine.
