Do you litter?

Raspberry · 21-03-2008 12:09AM #1

Some mad tree hugging hippy had a go at me today because I dropped my cigarette on the ground when I was done with it. As you do. She told me to pick it up amidst a tonne of abuse and she told me to put it in the bin, which was way way up the street. I kind of laughed at her and walked away. The sad bitch she was, she actually picked it up off the ground and walked up the street and put it in the bin. What I did is common practice and here she is telling me off as if it's me who's the weirdo.

What the hell is this world coming to?

I would have picked it up and rammed it down your throat. You've no right to throw your cancer sticks on OUR streets.

Shryke · 21-03-2008 12:12AM

If all your friends went raping virgins, would you go raping virgins?

Raspberry · 21-03-2008 12:12AM

No.

I don't see YOUR name on it. Also, surely if they're OUR streets, that gives us the right to do what we like on them and sure people are paid to clean up the streets. Might as well get our moneis worth.

You dirty fecker! you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself!!!! just because something is 'common practice' doesn't make it right!

man, if my dad had caught you, he'd have crucified you if you laughed at him. Grew up in the shadow of a man as straight as an arrow and litter was no exception. if i dropped a fag on the ground, he'd break my fingers so i couldn't do it again. pure fear prevented me from littering, common sense now

Ciggarette butts aren't litter, they're part of our natural urban environment, like chewing gum, bad graffiti and traffic fumes. Everyone knows that.

Wouldn't broken fingers make it harder for you to hold a cigarette and you more likely to litter?

You fail at polls, for various reasons.

Holsten · 21-03-2008 12:16AM

No I generally don't litter.

irlrobins · 21-03-2008 12:16AM

I hate people who litter! They rank alongside able bodied people who park in a disabled spot. And at the moment I have a hatred of people who throw their butts on the street. This is due to a certain insurance company's staff next door to where I work, who feel it's perfectly ok to fill the gutter with their butts. It's disgusting! Hundreds of butts all over the pavement and street.

And what makes you think a cigarette butt is not litter? Yes you have to put it out, but most bins have a separate butt holder to allow you to do this.

Try opening a packet of cigarettes when all your fingers are in casts. and hey, if that didn't work, he'd probably chop em off. the main thing is you'd LEARN

Dudess · 21-03-2008 12:17AM

Tons of people drop cigarette butts and it's not even noticed but if the same people dropped as many chewing gum wrappers there'd be uproar. There does seem to be more of an acceptance for ciggie littering. That doesn't make it acceptable though. I don't litter but I have dropped fag butts - without even thinking about it. Gonna stop now. You've actually unintentionally done some good tonight, Raspberry.

No.

Those people are paid out of our taxes, you don't litter = lower taxes for all. Vicious circle. It's really not that difficult to hold your rubbish in your hand or put it in your bag until you get to a bin.

Tar.Aldarion · 21-03-2008 12:20AM

No, I am not ignorant in this respect.

Raspberry · 21-03-2008 12:20AM

No.

If you put a lit cigarette in a bag the bag will go on fire.

Oh HOWEVER will we solve this one Rasberry? Will we ask Scooby Doo, Brainiac or Myth Busters?

Don't smoke then. It's bad for you. You can hold it in your hand dear or you could, you COULD, put it out before you put it in the bag. Not really difficult. People who litter = scum in my eyes, it's really unnecessary.

dsmythy · 21-03-2008 12:22AM

I don't litter for the simple reason that it is disgusting.

Put it in your back pocket so.:pac:

truecrippler · 21-03-2008 12:24AM

It's absolutely disgusting... littering in general. But polluting the people around you with cigarette smoke aint enough for people, they have to throw the butt on the ground.

Disgusting, shows no respect at all.

I always punch any of my mates for littering. Dead arm ftw... no more littering for a few mins.

Dudess · 21-03-2008 12:30AM

Raspberry voted yes and no on that poll.

aoife000 · 21-03-2008 12:31AM

ya as if its not bad enough that we're breathing in his disgusting smoke and can't breathe with it, he's littering the street then as well... i think an apology is definitely due from raspberry!!!!

And broken beer bottles, thank god for the rise of the €1 bottle.

People have been fined for dropping butts, I think the tranny from rodge & podge was. Not sure if tipping ash is illegal though.

sidneykidney · 21-03-2008 12:32AM

I hate people that litter,i am a smoker and i dont litter.OP its not rocket science to get rid of a butt,bins have a seperate part now for them. So in fairness littering is avoidable if you make the effort.:rolleyes:
