That is a breach of etiquette.
Purists will choose an end urinal if there is nobody at a row of urinals. The next person should take the urinal farthest from each, and so on.
The only real "rule" though is that it is just creepy to have several urinal choices, and to choose the one right next to someone.
Then there are the trough systems from days gone by. Back in the old days, urinals would often be these low sinks where 2 or three men could just step up to it. Not only would there be no mini-dividing wall, the men would just step up basically to the same urinal.
The place that took this system to the extreme was Michigan Stadium, known as the "Big House," at the University of Michigan. The men's room there is one giant urinal along the wall - literally, you walk in and there is a trough along the floor against the wall -- about 3 feet up is a pipe that runs water and there are holes in it that allow water to constantly trickle out down the wall and into the trough to constantly rinse. So, during a game, you just basically have to squeeze in between two guys whereever you can find a spot, basically pissing shoulder to shoulder against any spot on the wall that opens up.
The old Boston Garden had the trough. Sounds repulsive.

I know what you mean about miraculous recoveries, or inability to be hindered by grievous injures. But what do you mean about infinite repeaters? Oh, wait. Do you mean endless ammo?
Guns that never run out of ammo, yeah. A staple of Westerns when I was a kid.
They never fucking run out of ammo.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

When was the last time you saw somebody in a mainstream movie interrupt the story line to take a pee or a poo? It NEVER happens. Take the LotR, when did anybody take a shit? Not once, never, ever and those bloody little hobbits stuff their faces continually!
