Agree on Les :) – even though it was 25 years ago, the toilets I saw back then when visiting US, had a hatch in the bottom of the bowl – a sure way of getting problems…
You have wird toilets in the US – why have moving parts in the bowl when none are needed? Tin foil hat guess – it’s a plumbers association plot to get more jobs… (In Europe there are NO moving parts in the bowl that can mess up and it works really well.
Marten/Egid, As I live in Sweden I’ll add some thought on the subject to both of you. True, over a longer (50+ year) period imigrants to Sweden are mostly from Finland but as both countries have alot of social/ethnical/cultural background in common the integration was less of a problem. The last 25(ish) years has seen a shift to Kurdistan(Turkey)/Middle East/Horn of Africa, where especially the Clan/Family way of life is predominant and THAT has caused alot of integration friction that Sweden has been horribly incompetent at handling, resulting in young nowadays only seeing joining crime/drug gangs as a way to earn a living (and quick cash).

Ramirez, it’s not the Age that is the problem, it is the Ageing. If the Republican Party truly wants to win a landslide victory in November and show America that they care about their country the should nominate Nikki Haley in July.
True, North vs South – East vs. West. The European countries are far more hetrogenous than the States in North America. And expanding even further east isn’t helping. But it is better than not having a union.
When you can’t attack the argument, attack the person… totalitarian play book 1A. Micromind is probably not the worst insult on the net nowadays but I have not in anyway been impolite here so no need for you to start!
Not a biggie – and glad to hear that what I saw was not the common standard then – but it was a “normal” toilet in a normal house.
