    2.3 Billion People Lack Toilets

    I suppose this is also our fault.

      SF IS a toilet. Maybe someday soon someone will find the handle and flush it clean.

        Most of the world's people don't have water enough to flush
        the toilets anyway, so having them would be of little use.

          It's a Dailymail vs Brietbart faceoff.

          Dogtag is crapping on the thread and stealing Sid'zies thunder.

                Reminds me of the old joke. What is the fastest land animal? The Ethiopian chicken.

                  I have 3 toilets in the house, and have been known to sh*t in the woods too,

                  does that skew the results?

                      When I was in"Nam, it was quite common to see Vietnamese peeing/crapping along side of the roads. Also, on rice paddies, their huts were built over the rice paddy and they could crap in the paddy (fertiliser?).

                        Yes, quite common around the world. My father described that behavior in Korea and one of my instructors reported seeing it in India. I wouldn't expect much different in most of Africa and parts of Central America.

                          I have lived in Peru, Egypt, Viet Nam, Korea and Singapore. That's how everybody does it -- people with flush toilets are in the minority in my experience.
