APATHETIC ...AND THEY DONT CARE.

in PA we have this program called adopt a highway. you can take a two mile stretch of highway and keep it clean. there will be a blue sign with whatever name you choose on the bottom of it.

We have those here in Michigan.

I've also seen them in Ohio, Penn, and NY.

I hear you but fck i live in a small beach town in south Australia and its not like were over populated I can leave my doors unlocked but i cant take my kids to the park without worrying that theyre gonna step on a needle.

It used to be like that in England - you could leave the doors unlocked - you could even leave babies in their prams outside the grocers or wherever - but not now. These days that's asking for trouble - and these dats trouble WILL reply. Really, when we think about all this, it's just prove that we're ruining this world. It's not a nice place to be. Not REALLY.

[Kenn]

Yeah lip ur right Were just ruining it for ourselves and our kids whats it gonna be like when our kids are adults? i hope it gets better for their sake.

I blame the nanny state, people expect to be told what's good and bad for them these days, and by the same token take no responsibility for the health of their environment either. The supermarkets share a large part of the blame for this as well.

When I walk around the countryside, which is quite regularly, the amount of crap I see lying around is ridiculous. If it's not picked up it gets eaten by the ground, and eventually becomes part of the soil.

It's not just idiots tossing their empty cans aside either, its farmers who don't give a shit, in a forest near here there a electrical cables slowing dissappearing into the ground and allsorts from some industry that probably went bust or something. It's quite astounding how the government can take so much of your earnings and spend nearly half a million on a stupid fucking logo for the olympics that's not even good, yet they can't pay people to go round these places tidying up. THey spend thousands on "green machines", some brain dead moron on community service or something driving around the streets tidying it up slightly, noisily, unneccesarily most of the time, but they can't pay someone to go into a field and go round picking up all the crap and putting in a bag. Jesus, I'm on the dole at the moment! I'd do it for a couple of hours for an extra tenner a day! No work they say!

One time I got stopped by a farmer in some fields nearby where I lived, you look like a decent fellow he said, you are welcome, I've seen you around and just wanted to talk to you. For his kindness, in the last two days I lived there I spent two afternoons going round some bushes picking up all the shit peopel had thrown into his field from the road, traffic cones, road signs and everything. You wouldn't beleive the shit I gathered, about 15 bin bags full and that was only about 5% of the area!

In the old days when people belevied in re-incarnation and that, they acted more carefully. Nowadays no-one thinks, maybe in a future incarnation I'll be living on this land growing vegetables, and the dioxins from this plastic bottle I have rather carelesly discarded might be in my onions.

So true. And i agree with the logo - I'm not a fan of the olympics - and i certainly dont want it held in my home city. The logo is pathetic, it cost half a million and it looks like something i could have painted with a painbrush sticking out of my arse hole.

I said the day we got it "we'll be bombed, you mark my fucking words" and what happened the next day? We got bombed. Fuck darn it. It'll happen again, it's MORE than obvious.

Welcome to "Reefer Road"! Damn, almost with I lived there...I'd do it!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

LOL @ painting with your arse I think the guy just squeezed a few tubes of flouroescent paint up his backside and then filmed it as he farted it all back out onto a piece of paper.

and...

Shit don't say that man. I know what you mean though, if it doesn't get bombed, we'll probably end up paying 10 times the cost of the logo for security and about 6 months before hand listening to the news about, then probably 6 years after that on the news about how they cocked it all up and it was a conspiracy and now there has to be an investigation into alleged corruption.

I think the logo looks like something Keith Flint could have knocked up on his laptop in half an hour, it's got the same kind of violent edginess to it, I suppose you could call that an isomorphism, Keith Flint and the olympics logo.

That and the new scottish parliament building, its like the start of some new modern art craze, most definately a sign of the times.

[Kenn]

yeah Ive seen the logo effort...lol What are you trying to attract to ur country for the Games....because with that fkn shit al you be gettin is flies..lol

When I was a kid, ONE income was enough to support a family of 5 AND still put away a little for a rainy day. We ran in and out of everyones home and were safe at any of our friend's homes. Now, two incomes are barely enough to support a SMALL family. Our children now lack MOTHERS. The "block mother" is a thing of the past, as is safety in other people's homes.

I think about 1/3 or more of the kids in my school have crack-head parents, alcoholic parents, or just plain old insane parents! One girl has Mom, Dad and Mom's boyfriend all in prison! She is living with her aunt, who is no better! (They hid the guns under the sofa cushions when CPS came calling! I imagine they hid other things as well!) I hear this stuff on a daily basis! Who will these neglected/abused kids turn out to be? I do what I can, but it's NEVER enough to save them!

Until we get back to the point where we have stay at home moms or at least having those wonderful "block Moms", we will see more and more of these "lost children"! Have you hugged your child today? - Granny:hippy:

People just got some shitty upbringing..
when I see people toss shit out of there window
I feel like running them off of the road...
I NEVER litter..how fucking hard is it to make the extra effort to go to a trash receptacle. Lazy ass people..that is what it comes too.
