Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

1. It was and is nearly universally championed by lots of people, therefore it must be bad.

2. Flush toilets must be presumed to be evil. Throwing the contents of the chamber pot out the window is not.

3. The flush toilet requires a system to deliver water. It's expensive to dig up all those streets and the cost of water purification is too high. Don't get me started about the evils of potable water being available to just anybody, or the horrors of fluoride.

4. The flush toilet ignores the joys of having the contents of a chamber pot being dumped on your head as you walk down a street under windows.

5. Flush toilets benefit only big plumbing, the utterly evil empire of big guys showing butt cracks while they snoop for leaks under another abomination, kitchen sinks.

6. Isn't this just a restatement of #3? See #3 for how bad this is.

7. Huh? Word salad to me. But I am sure that flush toilets fail this one, too.

8. The cultural degradation of flush toilets is immense. People would be able to poop anytime they wanted! And there would be no joy in dumping the chamber pot out the window just when the neighbor you don't like walked by.

9. Don't be victimized by this new flush toilet craze. Chamber pots were good enough for my ancestors and they are good enough for us. We need to go backwards, not forwards!

10. I witnessed my brother-in-law worshipping at the altar of the flush toilet last weekend after a night of drinking alcoholic beverage. It was a disgusting display, with the porcelain bowl grasped in his hands, he repeatedly invoked the name of the flush toilet god, "Rork! O'Rork!"

Needless to say, these technologies are evil! We need to make a law outlawing them before we become doomed and damned!

Oh, the humanity!

(Better do this... )
