Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg Square in the TD Bank Building. First saw it posted on a pilot's forum about 2 years ago.

It appear's on a lot of fora with the usual vile racist remarks about the Native people.

The info I had was that is was in Saskatchewan (where, I don't know) but that info could be wrong.

I take it from your last sentence that you see nothing wrong with what he appears to have done?

How do you extrapolate that?

I can imagine that a fair number of people would be offended by what the video shows. I can imagine that some would, when doing so, comment upon upon the man's race. I found it strange that the poster chose to mention the man's race (rather than the act he was committing) when no one else had. I was simply asking a question.

I should think most right minded people would find the image offensive. I was referring to the other fora where I originally saw the video.I'm well aware no one in this forum mentioned it.

The man's actions were gross and unhygenic. I'm not sure what part of me is offended though.

you said

after Nanook pointed out that others were using this as a reason to express racist views.

I don't see anything condoning pooing in a flower pot in that sentence.

Anyway now we know it was Manitoba or Saskatchewan we can be prairieist about it now.

I dont even see how the province is at all relevent? What about pissing on war memorials, is that any less antisocial and specific to any one province?

I suspect this whole thread is on thin ice as far as forum rules on appropriate content are concerned anyway....

I didn't say she was condoning it, I was asking a question. I don't intend to get into yet another pointless argument with you so I will leave things at this

The Province isn't relevant. I thought the video was amazing, not so much because of the man's actions, but due to the total indifference exhibited by those walking past.

Delete it if it is breaking the rules - I doubt anyone will be too bothered.
