I a long time ago was an offender until it was pointed out to me by someone the pollution it causes... it may seem like a little harmless butt but,,,cigg butts have actually been found inside sea life... just think that one little butt x's the thousands that get tossed,,,every time it rains it gets washed into rivers lakes and streams...
Dispose your butts responsibly!!!

You do realize that your destroying the earth, as well as harming wildlife, and potentially harming future generations right?
It's that "Who gives a fuck what I do, its not directly hurting me" attitude that gives people like Bush power.

That reminds me of when I was in Utah at Snowbird some kid dropped his board and it hit an ashtray thing outside the lodge and a billion butts fell out. I just gagged and said Damn thats nasty do something about that. It looked so gross I almost threw up.

when i was a kid, my parents smoked out front, not in the house.. they always threw their butts in the yard.. i swear if you peeled back the grass, theres a layer of butts before the dirt...
i think it helped the grass doing water retention...
arent they made from cellulose?

well if you ever noticed, when comumbus came over from europe, was there ONE piece of trash on the ground IN THE ENTIRE WESTERN HEMISPHERE??

I'm with you on this one, I usually toss my butts into the ashtray, but occasionally toss them out the window for what ever reason. If your seriously reporting people for that, you need to take up a better fucking cause...
I mean seriously, do you report all those you see litering, or just the smokers? If you do it do everyone, I am a little more understanding.

How in the hell is that the white man's fault? I love how the "white man" get blamed for every fucking thing.
1. Slavery
2. Slaughtering Indians and others
3. A dirty planet
The white race has done some bad things as well as wonderful things, same as every other race, creed, and nationality.
It is how the world worked back than. You saw something you wanted, you took it by force or money. Survival of the strongest...

look at all the cruelest things the earth has had and tell me what color the opressors were
holocaust
slavery
japanese internment
chinese labor
most wars, etc.
umm... idk i was watching a video in history and every single bad thing was caused by white ppl
JaggedEdge
03-03-2007, 07:00 PM
Yeah, the problems in the middle east, the problems in Africa.
Let's talk about slavery for a second.
African tribes were selling enemy tribes to the Europeans. African's had as much a hand in the slave trade as Europeans had.
Yeah, I can see how "all" of our problems are caused by white people throughout history. Muslims, Africans, Mexicans, etc have never commited any violent act... and have never been the cause of a war...
I can see how we are to blame for the horrible shit that is currently happening in Africa though. I can see how we are responsible for entire tribes being slaugthered and the women raped.

Why not throw it in the groiund in your living room. Or do you do that too. If that's the case, i guess you cant be blamed.

What pisses me off more, than simply tossing a cigg out the window, is when people do it during a drought!
My dad, me, and some random dude had to pull over and put out a fire someone's cigerette started. I wasn't very big yet, but it took us about 10 mins to finally get it completely out. The litter doesn't really bother me so much as the fire risk.

I really started to do that when there was the wildfires going here in Souther Cali, but yesterday I was surfing and pretty much inhaled one and chocked on it, so it grossed me the fuck out and now i'm all pissed off again at that shit.
If you look up Cedar Fire San Diego, you can see how it affected my community.

i'm guilty of it... if i'm walking and smoking a cig, what do youw ant me to do? stick it in my pocket?
i dunno you can tell me all you want one person makes a diffrence, but when you look at all the people in the us alone, then the smokers, then the smokers who flip their butts... you're far outnumbered... if you don't do it, someone else will so i don't really care....
if everyoen stopped, i'd stop..
i still rip up all those little things the cokes come on tho... (the 6 packs) that's easy enough to do, and i do use ashtrays if i can.. but there's not always an ashtray or trashcan around.... so... tehre you go..

Thanks. I used to work with Project Wildlife and I've seen some nasty things that those six pack wrappers do to animals.
Slipknot, I used to smoke too. but yeah, put the dam thing in your pocket. So if you go hiking on some nature trail and you smoke, you'd really throw that shit on the ground.

I think it a little bit to late to say harming future generation. We have already done that, all's you have to do is look at how the weather has changed. I mean shit just the other day it snowed then after that there was a FUCKING LIGHTNING STORM wtf is that shit.

I hate when people say ignorance is bliss just to sound cool and all high and mighty above another person. Like I don't know about the environmental effects... I just think the convenience of throwing it out the window and not having a water bottle full of nasty cigarette butts(no ashtray) far outweighs what my cigarettes are gonna do to the world. Jesus people worry about something else (preferably something of some importance) instead of bitching over little shit you can't fucking change and never will.
Do they spend tax dollars on setting up these little stupid ass hotlines? god i hope not.

My not doing it isn't going to change much so why inconvience myself for something that won't really matter in the end.
Out of curiosity, how many people here who are bitching about cigs on the ground drive trucks, suv's, or older model cars? If you fit into that catagory... hypocrite. How many of you have left trash behind while camping, etc? I highly doubt all of you are as concerned with the enviornment as you are trying to portray.

So do you throw them in your house, cuz a bottle is far too gross. Or do you throw then in your doorway or the Patio?.
And I dont say ignorance is bliss to sound almighty. Do you throw you McDonalds out the window. Whats the difference?

well you really can't help it if you own a older car if you can't afford a new one... You are the biggest part of the problem if you really can't see what's wrong with your statments... Litter is just plain wrong and it only takes common sense to realize it...
