I really need to go back.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

The idea behind those public urinals is solid, but perhaps make them a bit more discreet or something.

The idea that men of the city can't behave like the rest of the world and hold it in, and that the city can't deal with them properly?

I'd call it rather runny, actually. Leaking, even.

Not what I was going for. Public toilets in general are a good idea. Stop twisting my statements into ungainly forms!

They're not public toilets, they're big neon red piss boxes not even shoved out of the way.

The common sense alternative predates this stupidity by a long shot, it was not taken.

All that aside, if I ever bought a scratch card again and happened to win big, France is where I'd go.

Probably Nice. It's right there.

Keeping those pissing boots as compact as possible was undoubtedly a decision aimed at keeping costs down. It is important to keep costs down. When in doubt, keep down the costs.

Plot twist: Illidan's blindness is actually from visiting a Tanaris beach and spotting a Thalassian vacationer.

I appreciate the reference and everything but you are aware just how wedgie-inducing nerdtastic that statement was. I need to call up a few high school bullies, please hold, your beatings are important to us.

Why do you think I spent five hundred billion euro getting a working Altar of Storms running.

Does it summon a Blademaster to your aid? Or a Tauren Chieftain? Would be a waste if it cannot summon or revive anyone.

I'm going to hazard a guess that within the next few days, these roadside toilets are going to stink up the entire France?

Couple this eco-toilet with some people's bad aim, and you have a recipe for an assault against noses.
