Re: dude, i mean, seriously. come the fuck on.,

I'm sorry, but are futilities like this really worth a debate?

"The money spent did not affect the overall cost of the refurbishment programme."

So who cares how the toilets are organised? I even think it's a positive initiative: the way prisoners are being treated, says a lot about how (un)civilised a society is.

Re: dude, i mean, seriously. come the fuck on.,

^^ agreed. If it doesn't affect the bottom line, who cares what direction the toilet faces? I honestly could care less what direction my toilet faces -- except that I don't like it to face a mirror, because watching myself take a shit is kinda weird -- but if someone does care and it doesn't have any other impact, why not arrange it accordingly?

Sightless, do you think we ought to intentionally make prisoners face Mecca when they pinch one off just to ratchet up the level of discomfort?

Re: dude, i mean, seriously. come the fuck on.,

no, no need to force them like that, but there is zero reason for this. by the same standard, a white supremicist could sue never to have to look at a minority, catholics could sue to have a cross nailed above thier cell door, etc etc etc.

its just catering for the sake of catering. there is no need at all.

another thing i feel sorry i think is that it shows that the western nations are truly bending to islam, and frankly, at this point, we have zero reason to give any reason to show that religion is above the law, any religion for that matter, but look around, the muslims are particularly acting as if sharia is above the civil code all aorund(mercy killings, etc, the kidnapping in france) and then they act as if it is an insult and wrong when they are tried under our laws.

Can you blame an ape for shitting in your house? No, cuz it doesn't know any better. Should you go shit right next to it? That's up to you (if you do, I'd surely dig sum nice scat pics )

Re: dude, i mean, seriously. come the fuck on.,

i compare this to the bible being displayed at courthouses.

ppl sued to NOT have religion relected in any way near gov't, but now they are intentionally appeasing religion.

I see a difference. One is foisting religion upon the masses, the other is very passive. Although I've had some trips to the bathroom that I think would qualify as religious experiences, I've never given a bit of thought to which direction I'm facing when I'm taking care of business. Now that I know that some people care, I still don't care. It affects me zero. There is nothing inherently religious about a toilet.

A Bible, on the other hand, is overtly religious under any standard, and its display in a government building is much more of a recognition of the establishment of religion.

Re: dude, i mean, seriously. come the fuck on.,

eh. im just not for this. just seems like they are going out of thier way to respect religion after years of trying to take religion away from people. my point is either incorportate them all and honor them equally or act in a manner that has zero reflection upon the religions. this is neither. they are trying to do two things at once,

not thats its a big deal or anything. just kinda struck me as """oh shit, the islamic masses hate us, lets make sure we show em that we can bend to thier wishes as good will.""

Re: dude, i mean, seriously. come the f&ck on.,

how do they keep track of which direction mecca is anyway?
just blindfold them and spin them around a few times before putting them in the cell.


I'm with Sean though. I think we cater to criminals enough as is. Changing the directions in which the toliets face to avoid facing mecca is ridiculous.....If we do this ... what's next?

The sun rises in the east, maybe that gives an indication of where Mecca is?

Yeah, just imagine... Koosjer food for jewish inmates, church service for the christians... Let's just go back to the Middle Ages and throw 'em all in a pit, shall we?
