They have the same problem in Uganda :o

What problem you ask? What problem does a third world place like Kampala Uganda share with 2 of the most modern citys in the world?????


Why the answer is POOP!

The Ugandan capital is home to 1.5 million people with only 814 toilets :shock: When it rains it pours literally pours poop into the street and into homes(well mud huts and shacks with dirt floors).

Good article on this problem:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7292179/Africas-booming-cities-face-severe-toilet-crisis.html

C&P
Residents of a suburb on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda face the constant threat of disease as there are no public toilets for 1,200 people.

When it rains, mud and human waste regularly flows into homes in the suburb of Makindye Lukuli. The rapidly growing population is outstripping the ability of the authorities to provide adequate sanitation.

The sanitation crisis echoes that of cities across the developing world. Some 2.5 billion people, most of them in Africa or Asia, lack access to an adequate toilet, United Nations figures show.

Governments are increasingly depending on private businesses and philanthropic groups to help manage human waste in cities that were never planned to handle so many people.

One of the fastest-growing cities in the world, Kampala is home to at least 1.5 million people but authorities say over 3 million pass through daily, usually for work. Yet there are fewer than 800 pay toilets and only 14 free ones, many of them dilapidated with walls often smeared with feces.

Many people rush to malls to relieve themselves. Even in the buildings of government agencies the toilets are often kept under lock and key, apparently to discourage intruders.


What has the Government of Uganda been doing with all the UN Money?? Well one thing they did was buy a bunch of MIG-29's

I am sure Yoweri Museveni who has been President of Uganda since 1986 has put plenty in his pocket.

I remember when driving to work in Kampala when I was there in 2008, our trip was about 10 miles from the house we stayed in(We had 4 toilets) and the compound we worked, we would count how many people we would see peeing and pooping in the street or sidewalk. I would say the average was 15-18 one way.

This is a great picture, Wetaasa means get busy in Swahili. That is human excrement being poured into that tanker.

    The solution is for people to quit eating.

    Nothing in = nothing out.

    The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.
    We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
    Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.

    ahh, but you must realize two things:

    a) they weren't donating their own money
    b) it helped somebody's election campaign

    win-win situation! :D

    Why don't they just build out houses?? The old "two holer's" made our nation sanitary long before indoor plumbing was invented.

    Not only that but a couple that crap's together, rap's together! :o:lol:

    They do but people use them(Unauthorized). Their "OutHouse" is a hole in the ground you squat over and take a dump. If you miss the 4" hole you just shove you turd in the hole or leave it for the next guy to deal with(Preferred method).

    This a really nice one:

    Wow Sam! Those facilities are just plain primitive! No comfort at all and I can almost smell the foulness from those pictures.

    A good outhouse has seats and a very big hole where there are no misses! I have to conclude that there are a LOT of human's walking around in this world that do not smell very pleasant!!

    Just remember where people get away with pooping in public out on sidewalks IE, San Francisco, Free-attle, Portland etc, there are DEMOCRATs and DEMOCRAT voters, places you just don't want to be,
