they do it all the time in my town, even in broad daylight. it's not typical in Germany, but my town is full of white trash.

I'm amazed. I certainly woulldn't think it in either Britain or Germany. Now i remember once many years ago when i was young and stupid ;) that after quite a few beers and i really had to go and I was in Manhattan, I found some dark alley to go. But I could never imagine people doing that right out in front of a building. The only other foreign country I've gone to other than Britain was Italy and I never saw anyone do that there.
Sometimes there are some guys who pee on the side of the road, and the good thing to do while you pass by them in your car is to hoot so that they automatically turn back in the middle of their action. :D
In the Ozarks, we potty train our boys by letting them pee off the back porch. They think it's a game and it works really well. Of course, we're out in the country now but when we lived in town, my son would pee in the back yard.
Perhaps we need a peeing in public debate. Peeing in public is wrong, discuss? Of course Virgil would have to post it.
At least we've been upward tending as a species. The platapus really hasn't developed much new in last hundred-thousand years. It's cool that they have venom, but, no, that's not enough to make up for the duck-bill.
That's not to say that humans are the model. We've had our moments, I'll admit. Tools, language, these are great and everything, but who are we kidding? We're not the best. I think if I had to pick a model I would say the Cephalopods. There's no question about it. Look at the Giant Octopus. It can do all the usual awesome Octopus things, plus it can crawl on land. Clearly, they're the model.
