Why do you assume the behaviour in the US would be the rule? I have on occasion come across toilets in a terrible state, but for the most part, toilets in Europe, paid or not, tend to be fairly decent. In need of cleaning, sure, but it's certainly not common for people to kick in the doors or anything like that.

Well, the office in which I'm currently working seems to have some people with a surprisingly poor aim, so there's that. But there's certainly no culture to intentionally destroy the place.

My experience is mostly western Europe.

I wouldn't say it's common for people to kick doors in either, I'm sure it happens though. More likely to happen at a place like a dive bar - that wouldn't surprise me, or some place where the bathroom appearance isn't seen as a high priority - like a gas station.
