I am Australian and would just like someone to clarify something for me.
Is it normal for Americans to all use the bathroom together? and show each other their Tools?
Because in Australia that is not normal at all.
Thanks.
I am neither American nor male but I imagine that this level of openness and acceptance, even among family, is rare over there. No worries, mate. Homophobia is probably as rife there as it is anywhere else in the world

I had the impression the scene was written to illustrate a level of familiarity and brotherhood, like a locker room. I'm American, I do know some people who don't mind being seen on the toilet, but I couldn't say if it's the "norm."
shareSorry, but what a stupid question from OP. It's like i would ask "Do all babies get eaten by dingos in Australia?"
People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs
As far as being in the same room as a guy while he's taking a dump or shower it's not normal, UNLESS.... You have been in prison or even jail. These guys had all done time besides being brothers and when your in jail that sh*tter is right out there in the middle of the room. It becomes normal but probably not that comfortable. So yeah, the brother factor but also you get used to doing pretty much everything in public in jail.
shareHas nothing to do with jail. I know people who are or were like this. It would be like three people in the bathtub and someone taking a *beep* Not to mention there was only one bathroom.
"Well, I done seen just about everything, but I ain't never seen your boy, no way, no how!"
And how is it you know that's not the case? Did you direct the *beep* movie? Sure people do that but it isn't common... Well maybe in your world... It could just as easily be because of my post or the combination of both. Don't just spout your opinion like you know your right and everyone else is wrong. These are opinions and yours is yours. Sounds like you have experience taking baths with gays... I mean guys..
shareWow you really are a moron. Not only did you get upset over nothing you then assumed that I was a guy and called me gay. How childish, so I guess we can all agree that I won. UH-OH there I go putting my opinions on you, guess it is time for another hissy fit.
"Well, I done seen just about everything, but I ain't never seen your boy, no way, no how!"
You Won? WTF? LOL... So, what, this is a competition? What are you 14? If your a chick then you have even less idea what guys do and don't do and why... Go make dinner...
14? You obviously must be close to the age since your still idiotic enough to respond to my trolling. Plus you still display childish manners by telling me to get in the kitchen. I love it please do continue.
I find it odd that the director would use people who went to jail an excuse for them to share the bathroom obliviously this movie was to show how close they were as a family. End of story.
"Well, I done seen just about everything, but I ain't never seen your boy, no way, no how!"
troll admitting trolling is failure and *beep* troll
share".... show each other their Tools?".
Yes. How else would one drill each other.

You don't see things as they are, you see things as we are.
americans do not follow rules of civilised society. over several hundred years when they were evolving they were very inward looking. Hence they don't follow the unwritten mens bog rules.
1. Do not talk to other men pissing. 2. if u must talk do not look at other men pissing. 3. do not shake anyones hand in the toilet. 4. if you wash ur hands do not do it thoroughly (like a chick or European male (not UK or ire) does) 5. wipe ur hands on ur trousers, only use the hand dryer if ur gay (or European male (not uk or ire). 6. Always miss the urinal when drunk. 7. only acceptable conversations are about hot chicks, tits etc. 8. when doing a big *beep* do not flush it but warn people you've done a whopper and that they shouldnt go in there whilst smiling with pride. 9. do not start a fight in the bog, no one wants piss on there trousers. 10. only acceptable reason to meet a man in the bog is when ur buying drugs. 11. spend as little time as poss in the bogs. 12. you cannot be held to account for any agreement made in the bogs (see rules 1,2 and 7). 13. when bouncers do a toilet check all conversations stop to make them feel awkward.
I'm sure there are a few other but these are the basics - americans really should take note.
First of all doniedark, you're a post-Immodium AD butthole. Second, I don't know what country YOU'RE from, but remember that America is a world super-power for a reason, and it's not just because of our guns. And I'm sure that whatever country you're from, your country was our country's b***h at some point. Now, on to answering the OP's question.
I'm not sure how common it is for American MEN to do that, but I know that for women family members we do stuff like that. We may not spread our legs to show anything, but we'd definitely describe it and ask for an opinion. I went on vacation once with my mother, 2 aunts, and 3 cousins (all female cousins). There were 3 bathrooms in the vacation house, but you'd barely know it because in the morning there were always about 3-4 of us in there at a time talking, showering, using the facilities, putting on makeup, etc. Women Americans are that comfortable with each other but I don't know about men.
You must be a brit. You guys should take notes on brushing your nasty ass teeth and learning how to speak properly. Americans do none of that *beep*
You clearly are watching the wrong *beep*
To the best of my knowledge, no it isn't very normal, up to a point. One guy on the potty while the other is in the shower is somewhat normal, but showing your tool to your brothers crosses into a whole new area I think.
It is not uncommon for bathrooms to be used by several people at the same time, especially if you've only got the one. The kids will have to be in school at about the same time so yeah, bathrooms will have to get multi-purposed in order to make sure each child is cleaned, dressed, fed, and out the door at the same time.
As for showering together (which I know wasn't asked) I think that stops around puberty for obvious reasons. Also, (in my experience) there is no co-ed bathrooms. Meaning brother doesn't sit on the crapper while sister is in the shower, etc.

No it isn't. But I was in Beijing recently and went to use a public restroom and the old man attendant pointed me to a small bathroom. Thinking that the main area was maybe being cleaned I went inside and quickly realized he had followed me in and was standing politely and silently behind me with a smile. I tried to explain to him I needed him to leave but gave up and went to leave and he held his hand out for a tip haha
The only person it would be normal to see me in the bathroom like that is my wife. Not my brother, father, kids, friends at all. The characters had time in and out of prison which I suspect was background for the behavior.
shareNo it's not "normal", but it didn't strike me as odd either especially since they did time like others have said. My brothers and I used to play "swords" at the toilet and took baths and showers together, but it was way before puberty. When we grew up however we would leave the door unlocked if using the shower (you're behind a curtain) so that the other brothers could get in to use the toilet or sink, but we knew if the water wasn't running to stay out because the other was probably drying off or using the toilet.
