re: Why do we not have nice toilets in America?

Mates, the GF and I are taking the plunge and have ordered a Toto system for the condo. 
Here is the review that swayed me to pull the trigger (aside from the amazing experiences with luxury toilets in Japan these past two weeks)...

5.0 out of 5 starsThe most necessary item in your home.

When you have experienced something great, isn't it a good thing to share with your friends? We have just installed a technological marvel in our house. My wife and I love it, and both of us have said this is one of those luxuries that, once experienced, becomes a necessity.
May I be so bold as to bring up the the one thing we would miss more than anything else were it missing from our homes?
If you are really astute you may already have guessed that I am speaking of the humble, but so necessary.......toilet.
I am more squeamish on this subject than many-perhaps the key word is "Toto". Please google it for all the details.
But let me say at least this much-Assume you have gone into the bathroom for the more time consuming of your two most common items of business. When you walk in that little room you will first notice that your toilet has detected your presence and has thoughtfully raised the seat without requiring you to even touch it. You will definitely notice the seat is warm. You will probably notice a quiet whisper from the small fan that keeps what might be an unpleasant odor from ever despoiling your lovely nose. If you are particularly observant you might have noticed that your Toto has gently sprayed the bowel to pretty much assure that the bowel, when you have finished and gone on your way, will be as clean and white as when you first arrived.
I shall be a bit restrained in describing the most amazing part of the entire thing. There is a remote control which should have been mounted within easy reach. There is a washing function whose temperature and volume you have previously set. This requires a warm air drying function, also subject to your control that does an amazing, and amazingly quick job. Absolutely no need for any paper products.
When you are finished you just stand up and walk away. Your Toto will know that you have left, and will calculate (and perform on its on), what we call a flush.
If you have suffered from polio, or a recent surgery, you might have a new best friend. Actually, my wife has never had either of those experiences, but has said it is the best money (not cheap), but some of the best money we have ever spent. Maybe you want to check it out.

the "Too lazy to wipe your arse" contingent has managed to make someone even MORE money.
Now they just need a self-inserting vacuum attachment so you won't even have to push...
congratulations, 'merica.

Actually, I'd argue that the Japanese have tremendous work ethics and they (along with the Germans) lead the way in self-motivation, timeliness, and fastidiousness. Ironic that their defeat in WWII led to the prevention of them building a standing military, which in turn saved them each TRILLIONS of dollars over the past 60 years, money that they wisely invested in their social programs, education, etc. They are two of the greatest countries in the world. Meanwhile we've wasted TRILLIONS on phony and pointless wars.
We're just playing catchup, baw - one toilet at a time

We had to dial it down after my wife got 3rd degree burns from the blower running a little hot when we installed it.

Get a real toilet, get a Ferguson.

Think about the kind of people you may encounter around you on a trip to Wal-Mart. That's why we can't have nice things.

Along with the crappy toilets, the cheap arse construction for public stalls where there is an inch gap between the door and locking panel. You can pretty much eye contact with someone while taking a shite. My Brit and Euro coworkers pretty much declare our restrooms third world.
This really is unacceptable.

It's all your fault, mate.

Dubai airport, same deal but just a hole, no toilet....make eye contact with terd dropping.
I grew up in Dubai. Many places had the squat toilet hole in the floor. It was pretty nasty, as it seems Arabs have pretty bad aim. Sometimes we'd have to kick turds out of the way just to do our business.

Those are some nasty mo-fo's.
