Is it laziness, or just plain stupidity?? I really don't get that, and it sometimes makes me very angry...
When I see an adult doing this, I don't react; but when I see a child doing this, I go ask her/him "don't you have a bin at home?"
Usually the child looks at me with an dumb look......
I now for sure (100%) that my kids who are adults now, never did this as a child, and never does it as an adult!!
Why don't parents teach this anymore to their kids???
I'm with you completely on this one, Lut. Children learn from their parents' example how to deal with the outside world.
I've noticed that more often than not it's junk-food wrappers or cigarette butts or empty cigarette packs that are tossed out in public spaces. This makes me think that, since these people are okay about taking crap into their own bodies, they don't give a damn about throwing it out there for the rest of the world either.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
