nickymouse Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 You might want to say that to the parents of the 2000+ children who will die because of poor sanitation today. Oh come on, we have given billions to this cause and for what? they are still in the same predicament they were when we started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfish1936 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Trouble is, we have to pay (taxes, direct charges, etc.) for the sanitation services we have. Our governments think they are important (although it took the stink of the Thames making the Houses of Parliament unlivable to get London's scheme going, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Embankment ) Governments in other countries prioritise armaments, buildings and rockets to Mars. Yes, I'd like to see this all fixed, and everyone with sanitation. But I cannot force the government of (insert country here) to do this. If we went in and built the facilities, how long before someone blew them up to: Win their freedom; Reject foreign colonialist domination; Stop women getting above themselves Or whatever other reason the loonies can think up? I have lived in countries where these conditions exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Flush with pride today! Tuesday, 19 Nov 2013, is: WORLD TOILET DAY !!! So, give a word of appreciation to: YOUR BELOVED CISTERN! Remember the poem once written round the rim of chamberpots: Keep me clean, And use me well, And what I see I'll never tell! Cisterns are doing it for themselves.
