Did you know that if you get caught urinating in public and it's near a school, you can be charged with a sex crime? That seems harsh. Some people need the sound of running water to help them go, but I doubt there's anyone who actually needs to hear the sound of childish merriment in order to go. Maybe peeing near children is a way pedos mark their territory. Or maybe it was originally a way they could look at kids and touch themselves, then when the cops show up, "what?! I'm just taking a leak!" "Oh, excuse me. Off you go." Until that happened so frequently they realized - "these pedophiles are making a mockery of our cop skills! Pissing all over, gettin' their kicks. I've had it! We should pass a law that says if they do that - they get hung! ...or tarred and feathered!" And that was too harsh, so they settled for sex crime charges. And if you've been the unfortunate drunkard who decided to avoid driving drunk and instead walk home, then stopped to pee next to a tree, only to be arrested at 3am (when there are no kids around) and charged with public urination AND sexual misconduct -- I hope you never see my neighborhood. It is a mockery of the crime you've been found guilty of. There are three schools within three blocks, and pockets of those blocks so ripe with urine stench you'd swear people were instructed to relieve themselves there all day everyday. And has one dude ever had to knock on my door and say he is a convicted sex offender? No. Not once. The odds of that many kids walking around, and that much urine being expelled, and not one kid ever seeing some bum's genitalia flopping around -- astronomical.
