Logic Clinic_1 Nowadays, young husbands, who want to pee, are urged to sit down on the toilet stool by their wives, so as not to scatter the urine around. Let's review an article of a famous Japanese newspaper, Asahi Shinbum(2000/3/26), about this topic. Professor Koichiro Fujita of Tokyo Medical and Dental College, whose major is parasitology, wrote a book, "To Pursue Cleanness is a Disease." He explained "the phenomenon of men's sitting on the toilet stool" as follows: People unnecessarily stress cleanness too much. The urine just dropped has as little germs as city water. Why people dislike the drops of urine? To feel a distaste for bacteria and smell is a sign of losing the power of human beings as living things. I translated a Japanese book adding my comments. Would you correct my English? In addition, if you can, please point out the logical inconsistences of the writing of Professor Fujita? In the next essay, I will introduce the answer of the author.

** no real errors! What do you mean by logical inconsistences? Do you mean, the fact that he works with diseases daily, and doesn't care much for easily preventable disease spread?

Actually i was watching a Korean TV show called 더러버, where the wife asked the husband to sit on the toilet while urinating.....it doesn't go to plan. What do you think about guys sitting on the toilet when peeing? BTW very interesting topic ;)
