Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Register yourself on the Sex Offenders list. Make sure your house is not with 200 yards of a school.
Flying Spaghetti Monster! Look, I think public urination is a stupid law too, but it's on the books and those can be some of the consequences if you get pinched for it.
B) Did you even read the site? It is not advocating whipping it out in front of a crowd.
Besides, it would have been completely legitimate to state that this can potentially go bad places because of stupid laws. But that isn't what you did. You did your best to just shoot the idea down entirely. "Go directly to jail...etc" This is not a case of "Go directly to jail." This is a case of "If you do this stupidly, be aware that in some jurisdictions this could lead to potential jail time...etc ...so be careful if you wish to do this."
Thank you for the throwaway quip. It is serving as food for thought for how to further develop the project.
FYI: Your follow-up replies read as highly invested in defending and justifying your "throwaway quip." So, if it genuinely was intended as a throwaway quip, no big, you are failing to effectively communicate that.
I pee on a tree every single day and have for years. So far, no one has arrested me -- for anything at all.
But, hey, feel free to keep your squeamish "Oh, my god, it's a PEE PEE!!!" attitudes while the world literally goes to hell around you. Cuz: Priorities!
This would seriously not be a problem in Europe. America is weirdly uptight about a lot of things.
Skimming your blog, I see you live in the desert. Well, many Californians do not live in the desert, we live in urban areas where there is a higher population density, and for health and sanitary reasons, we have modern plumbing.
Maintaining standards of public health and sanitation is a priority. Ever hear of cholera? Would you like someone with a drug-resistant strain of gonorrhea urinating near your living space?
And for those of us who are pre-menopausal and not on the pill, well, peeing on a tree is just about unthinkable (not to mention gross) for 3-4 days of every month.
