Lots of regular folks and even docs endorse this shitting position. Poor folks like Indians with no access to toilets I'm sure brag about how smart they are for shitting like this in some field. Airline attendants and hotel workers knows when the Somalis come there will be footprints on the toilet seats and water on the floor; they was their asses with their hands and water. Water of course is the most hygienic way actually, wiping with paper is like painting your ass with shit. I hear the Japs are best in toilet tech, they have the automatic water spray toilets bowls everywhere I read that for centuries they shat in rivers with a rope across for cleaning your ass. Doesn't Cutler shower like 12 times a day after each bowel movement? 
The Squatty Potty is actually proven to help more natural bowel movement positioning. Of course, if you don't eat 6000 calories a day, you wouldn't need to worry about that.
First time I went to India, I went in the restroom of a very nice mall and there were two options. Regular and Deluxe. Deluxe you had to pay for, about the equivilent of a quarter. The regular stall was just a potty hole in the floor. The Deluxe was a potty hole exactly like the Regular one, but with a rope in front of it. So Westerners could hold onto the rope for balance. Of course, when the India roaches used the Deluxe version, and wiped their ass with their hands, what do you think they were touching afterwards? Yep, that rope.
Japaneses have bidets with about 20 different buttons on it, odd graphic descriptions and no English. (Japanese are the only Asians that basically refuse to accommodate English language in written materials. Still mad we unleased the sun on them I suppose. But their bidets have a setting for everything you can imagine. Probably for dishes too. Good luck if you accidentally push the tampon remover. (joke). But seriously once I was bored there waiting for the car to come and take me to my gig that I went to the 7/11 and bought some Saran Wrap, covered the toilet, and pressed each button one by one. Some were awesome. Some didn't seem to do anything. The funny thing is that most of their toilets are from the American Standard brand. While the irony that you can't get that same toilet in America is not lost among people.
