Why am I entering into this discussion? And why are we even having it? Public urination, regardless of gender, is lewd and in poor taste. It leaves a stench and subjects the rest of us to have to smell it, walk in it, and track it wherever we go. If it's ok for one to do it, then its ok for all to do it, and if all do it, then The Villages smells like a ballpark restroom rather than a beautiful retirement community.

If I am out in the woods, backpacking or whatever, and the urge hits for a bodily function, and there are no restrooms, at least I find a place of relative privacy (behind a bush and away from my group) to take care of this business. We've all been in that situation and you don't foul the campsite, or the town square, or the parking lot.

If we condone a public onesy, then are we far away from condoning a public twosy, or a public display of extreme effection, or anything else for that matter that is generally considered best to remain private?

And I certainly don't condone boorish and lewd behavior just because someone is drunk. Getting drunk is not an excuse for bad driving, violence, or any other unacceptable behavior. This person, whether Villager of Visitor should have been caught and punished severely, and by severe I mean locked up and fined a substantial amount. Seriously, we don't allow our dogs to do this, as is evidenced by multiple threads on TOTV, so why are we discussing whether it might be acceptable for a human?

If I see this sort of behavior, I'm snapping a cellphone photo and taking it straight to the authorities, if not the internet!

Please notice there are no caps in this post. I'm not ranting, but rather just sharing what seems to me to be an obvious opinion. Thanks for reading!
