I suppose we will have to agree to disagree. I don’t think it always affects others if you do it in private in a place where people don’t walk, and rain can hit it.

Everything has an effect, especially if lots of people do it. You do not want to pee within 100 ft of a stream if you can help it. It is better to let the pee break up in the soil. The real problem for ecology is the salts in urine. That’s why if a dog pees in the same spot every time, plants die.
