Open air urinals in Paris

Looks like France had their own San Francisco called Paris. The intoxicated, babies and some elderly have problems with incontinence. In Paris, they apparently have a problem with public urination, serious enough that they felt the need to make public urinals. To no one’s surprise, the local residents are not happy about it.

The local government somehow felt that instead of arresting the drunk and disorderly they would just give them a place to pee. Locals are outraged especially about one particular urinal that overlooks the Seine River. So much so that they are petitioning their Town Hall to take it down.

“There’s no need to put something so immodest and ugly in such an historic spot,” said Paola Pellizzari, 68, owner of a Venetian art store.

She feared the urinal, installed about 20 metres from a primary school, “incites exhibitionism”.

“It’s horrible,” said the 50-year-old owner of a nearby art gallery, who declined to give his name. “We’re told we have to accept this but this is absolutely unacceptable. It’s destroying the legacy of the island. Can’t people behave?“

Residents have complained to the Mayor but he supports the urinals.

Citizens of Paris can thank their liberal politicians for allowing all the Muslims into the country.

We’ll soon back to the Dark Ages. Disease follows this kind of stupidity. Maybe the rats will get into the act and k**l all of Europe and GB with a new Black Plague. I’m referring to the four legged rats. If we aren’t careful, they’ll get us, too.

They have to be careful of the two legged rats as well as they are really dangerous.

Don't think urine is the kind of liquid plants need to thrive.

The French have had these since forever, particularly in Paris. They used to look like this:



Of course as you can see from the lower picture there was no plumbing connection to a sewer and the Urine just ran across the sidewalk.

It seems as though some of those urinals had a leaking problem or rusting out problem.
