No not at all. There used to be just a hole is the oldest aircraft (maybe the DC-3) but now they're stored in tanks. In older jets (e.g. 737-200, 747 classic - 100, 200, 300, SP, SR, SUD, DC-10) they use 1 gallon of caustic blue disinfectant to flush the toilet but now in newer jets (introduced with the 767 and includes all Airbuses except the A300B2/B4 and old A310s) its a vacuum sealed toilet which makes a lot of noise but saves water.

On the CRJ-200 the waste from the toilet is stored in a tank and is off loaded after landing much like an RV, waste water from the bathroom and galley sinks is vented directly overboard through heated vents (to prevent the water from freezing) the water hits the airstream and is instantly turned into a fine mist as we are going around 400 MPH

Totally untrue. The groundcrew have to drain it out of the aircraft through a nozzle, nicknamed the poo pipe. The vehicle is nicknamed the Boggy Truck and the driver is nicknamed the plop jockey.
I'm being serious! The nicknames are the RAF nicknames for the jobs and equipment.

what waste? If you are talking about engine exhaust it dissipates in the atmosphere but human waste is held in a tank and then pumped out by a truck on the ground.

Of course not! If if did, we'd have crap raining down on our heads all the time!
It goes into a holding tank, much like on an RV, and is pumped out when the plane is serviced between flights.

convinced, our bodies want sufficient time to relax and get properly to make stronger. Take your calcium each day besides. Edit: human beings position self assurance in genetics too a lot and assume the envisioned. If we positioned attempt into issues we can see advancements.

untrue for commercial jets
though small-plane pilots have been known to make a joke out of (illegally and dangerously) discharging items through their windows

Absolutely not. All of the waste is disposed of upon landing.
