God Bless This Chinese "Protest"

[NOTTHOR]

Usually, I take a hard line stance against protesters because they are generally stupid, doped out libs who don't know WTF they are protesting about. However, the Chinese have protested (actually complained - which in China can get you killed) to prevent the installation of the Eastern Style Squat Shitter that I once destroyed in Japan (see shit thread for story). The government actually caved and is putting in real toilets. These guys put their lives on the line so the Westerners who come to China can have a little touch of home when they take a shit. They should be commended and have parties thrown in their honor. They should be granted political asylum in the US as a token of our gratitude. They are BTR's "People of the Day." I'm sure some America hating liberal somewhere is writing a letter to the NYT about Eurocentrism and how the rest of the world should have to use China's shitty toilets because it's wrong to exert cultural influence on other countries, man.

BTR.....leave it to you to dig-up the story about toilets (or lack thereof) in China. You sure do think about shit a lot for a smart guy.

Uh oh. The ChiComs blew it. You give people a decent crapper and democracy is sure to follow. Those shit-ins really do work.
