Are they trying to save on water?

And just think of the water they waste rehydrating all the people who contract dysentery after using such a facility.
A lot of places in Asia have been replacing squatters with western style toilets. But a big old porcelain idol costs $200+ and that's just too much for every toilet owner to invest in his bathrooms. These things are cheap, they're installed and everyone but whitey seems to be comfortable with them. But man oh man do I hate those toilets..
