This bitch is not geared towards all smokers—just the ones who improperly dispose of their disgusting cigarette butts. I was just enjoying a lovely sunny day sitting on a park bench. Unfortunately my feet were totally surrounded by cigarette butts and there was a garbage can literally only a few feet away. Cigarette butts are not only gross, they are also toxic to the environment and can start fires if tossed before completely extinguished (recently a fire started by a carelessly disgarded cigarette butt destroyed a house in Dartmouth and heavily damaged another). Please, smokers, think before you discard! And now for a bit of good news. Apparently there is a company that recycles cigarette butts and other waste. Seriously! For every unit recycled, a donation is made to a charity or a school. I’m pretty sure I can’t post the name here – but it can be Googled. I think this is a fantastic idea. —Butt Hater

butts really do not cause fires. the smoulder for awhile, then if conditions are right, they combust. without the proper setting, a butt is just a butt. anyone who really thinks that a carelessly toossed butt cause a flash fire, is sadly mistaken. i have tried this and numerous other things, to see if there was any credence to the theory, none at all.
just as there is no credence to you about being surrounded by butts or ankle deep. they do decompose, butt the filter part doesn’t. paper rots, tobacco rots are is absorbed by soil. and the amount that is taken in by soil, is so small that it isn’t even a matter to concern anyone. the only way that it would, is if there were 50 million at one time.
so, therefore most of your bitch is invalid, just a mindless non educated rant. as to house fires and such, there has to be a really good set of conditions, same as forest fires, to ignite any dry material around. fire training 101 would tell you that. and as to the gross part, yes, they are, but what YOU gonna do about it?
I think these people would argue with you, George

“they do decompose, but the filter part doesn’t. paper rots, tobacco rots are is absorbed by soil.”
You’re Right. The filter part DOESN’T decompose and the tobacco does. The tobacco contains dozens and dozens of toxic chemicals that then, leach into the soil, but these chemicals don’t just magically disappear. Where the hell do you think they go? While it’s a miniscule amount when talking about one or two cigarettes, over time and with repeated discarding and absorbing of these chemicals, the soil then becomes contaminated. It’s like spilling a drop or 2 of oil everytime you do an oil change. It may not seem serious at the time but after years of repeatedly doing this, it then becomes a problem.
“as to house fires and such, there has to be a really good set of conditions, same as forest fires, to ignite any dry material around. fire training 101 would tell you that.”
Right. And you don’t think the hot, dry, windy weather we’ve had the past few weeks isn’t a good set of conditions? You contradicted yourself. You start off by saying that discarded butts don’t start fires and then you end it by saying that there has to be a really good set of conditions in order for it to happen. Fucking Duh! Just because you’ve tried it and nothing appears to have happened, doesn’t make it the truth, ya knob. Or, are you now going to tell us you were once the station chief or fire inspector for a short while back in the 80’s, ya know, after your stint as a special forces commando during the Falklands?
“and as to the gross part, yes, they are, but what YOU gonna do about it?”
How about this, George. If I happen to see someone flick their butt on the ground, I go pick it up and flick it back in their face, in the off chance that it might be you? It’s still littering and in my books, you’re no better than those ignorant pricks that chuck their coffee cups and fast food bags out of their car. There is NO EXCUSE for it in this day and age.
Face it. No matter how you spin it or how you justify it to yourself, smoking is fucking pointless, disgusting, useless, costly and dangerous.
Get your fucking head out of your…(ahem) butt!
Get your head out of your….(ahem) butt!
so avast old boy, give us all the facts, and data to back all this up.ontaminated soil, yep, you would have to have a truckload of those things in one spot, to even warrent that comment. leeching yeah, but you forget the weather systems we have.
as to conditions for a combustible fire, check it out sometime. throw a butt in a pile of druy leaves, just a small one, and watch the resullts, which should be next to zip.a match is a different thing, it is already burning so no combstiong needs to take place. wind be damned. wind actually helps put these things out. the more you have, the more they break into smaller non threatening pieces, that go out very, very quickly. as i have said, i tried, and aslo have done a fire safety course, and even volunteered at fire depts. in bridgewater and yarmouth when i lived there. we were taught that there is no magic bullit. glass is the major factor in a lot of forest fires, after stupidity of course.
open fires carry a much higher risk to burn a forest or neighbohood down. i fucking kid you not. as to flicking a butt in my face, well that is your perogitive, but i would not advise ever trying.
Fucking idiot!! I bet you buy lottery tickets, don’t you GP? Well the odds of winning are greatly less than a cigarette butt starting a fire, but you still buy them just in case, right stupid? It takes little to no effort to dispose of your butts properly, but dumbasses like you like to poke fate in the eye with a stick for no good reason. I also bet that you threw every single piece of garbage out your window on your road trip, didn’t you? Useless fucking waste of air!!!
Given your logic you used previously “George”, you said 1/1000 fires start from a tossed cigarette butt. So, why do you continue to toss them wherever then? You do in fact know there’s a chance, so it’s incredibly irresponsible and inconsiderate that you continue to to do it, even using the laws of physics in your world. Feel free to check back to the “The World is Not Your Ashtray” bitch you conveniently haven’t looked at; there are several links provided you might want to check out.
So, I guess the fire inspector was just taking a big ‘ole piss. Talking out his ass about the house fires in Dartmouth being started by a carelessly discarded cigarette, was he? What the fuck does he know anyway? He’s obviously never chucked a lit butt into a pile of dry leaves on a windy day before. If he’d done it, he’d know that it’s IMPOSSIBLE for it to happen.
lol. Do you listen to yourself? Honestly? I’m trying, REALLY trying to understand your logic but it doesn’t make any sense.
You just contradicted yourself..IN THE SAME SENTENCE!
“butts really do not cause fires. the smoulder for awhile, then if conditions are right, they combust.”
…meaning, they cause a fire!! That IS what combust means!
I’ve taken fire training and do so every 3-5 years. There are 3 essential components needed for a fire: Spark, oxygen and fuel. Remove one component, there is no fire. The dry leaves, grass, flower box, etc, that you flick the butt into is your fuel and since we don’t live in a vacuum, oxygen is pretty much everywhere. The butt is the spark. Without it, there is nothing to smoulder or combust. Just because you got lucky the few times you’ve flicked your smouldering cigarette into a pile of dry leaves, don’t sit there and preach up and down that it will NEVER catch fire. My 5 year old nephew knows better than that. And I think the article I posted previously is proof positive that you haven’t got a clue.
As for evidence of contamination:

And these are just SOME of the links from the first Google page. I could go on and on. Search “cigarette butts contaminate soil” and see for yourself. But, I suppose they are all talking out of their collective asses too, right?
Vastie. Anyone who’s facial hair is so yellow as Sucks’ is, is so hardcore into smoking that they aren’t going to be swayed by any data (which we’ve already provided in other threads).
It’s a good thing he can’t smell himself. Because he reeks of smoke.

It’s common sense, George.
We’ve all been told countless times the negative physical effects smoking has on the body. If you only smoked for a week or a month, maybe even a year, the longterm, lasting effects are slim to none. If, however, you smoked over your lifetime, (20, 30, 50 years), all those chemicals you suck into your body with every cigarette have a cumulative effect. It’s called bioaccumulation. They reach a level where your body can’t effectively remove them and then they start to accumulate in your tissues and organs, slowly poisoning you.
The same thing happens in the soil and waterways. A few butts discarded in an area will probably have little or no effect on the environment because the soil and environmental factors can deal with these chemicals in small amounts. However, keep doing it over years and years and/or increase how many get discarded, then the soil/water reaches a point where this shit just starts to accumulate and poisons everything growing and living in and around it. Eventually, this gets passed onto humans by drinking contaminated water and eating plants grown in contaminated soil or eating animals that graze on contaminated plants/water. It’s proven science.
I’m pretty sure the only reason georges little experiment with his lit butt has failed to ignite a pile of leaves into a raging fire is because his tree hugging eskasoni indian friend that he mentioned the other day was likely there and took care of his careless actions for him.
George youre a dumbass, and everyone who reads your your blathering bullshit knows this. cangrats
at least i can say with all honesty kitty, is that you are a little fucking piglet, and a female douchebag. and vasty or an others. i read that shit, and the same goes for a lot of other shit like saying that smoking weed causes you to go on to harder drugs. and we all know any form of governments don’t lie. yep, believe all you want to. i saw what does not happen, first hand. watch myth busters too sometime. they did an excellant show on house fires awhile back.
and seriously, try a few small experiments yourselves. and to the rest, get fuck, assholes. you are just a bunch of no acount assholes too.loves ya, not.

I hate discarded butts and I cannot lie
oprah/kitty/douche, stop being an idiot for your own sanity. oh sorry, too late. you and that other out of touch with reality fool can go have all the pity sex you want, and hope you get the rots to the crutch, or more of it than you both have now.
He’s just jealous I don’t have to pay for it, and my partners can live with themselves afterward.

at least i can get fucked and return the favour. and also, i don’t have to listen to you bitches whine and cry all the time. and folks, this is what comes of a summit of supposed friends. they welcome you, then talk about you behind their back. if they have a problem, they won’t tell you to your face, at their sucky little summit.there are only 3 bitchers here, that are alright.ivan, hugo, and brandon. the rest are just phoney whiny little fuckhead pieces of shit. with friends like those here, you certainly don’t need enemies. have you gone yet boru?
Those three guys have had their rips on you too, Gary.
You may want to play “Divide and Conquer” with some of the others, but we’ve all had a good laugh at your expense, so it might be a waste of time.
For onlookers who may care, here
Is the story:
A year or so ago we had a Summit, or reallife meeting of people from the Bitch Board. Gray More(Lifesucks/Georgepeters/pegpigg/etc) came out and presented as a nice older man, much different from the old crank called LifeSucks.
A few Summits later Gary cried boohoo all over town because he felt slighted that he wasn’t invited to a Summit, after not RSVPing for many Summits.
He made a loud complaint that PrettyKitty didn’t love him anymore, and that everyone on the board believed themselves above him, despite protests to the contrary from many of the Bitches.
Since then Gary has been sooking constantly, threatening to take his ball and go home, then say “fuck yuo im staying to drive yuo all crazy”. Then he creates new accounts, such as George Peters(which he originally swore up and down wasn’t him- even went as far as staging a “conversation” between the Lifesucks account and the GeorgePeters accounts. He stopped the charade after forgetting to sign out of George, yet posting to Ivan as Lifesucks(through George’s account).
More hilarilously, he’s been attempting to cripple-bait me, to no avail, since I don’t take my disability seriously AT ALL. If I was black, he would reduce it to me being black, and so on.
He has lied about being a soldier in the Argentina war, a peacekeeoer, a Toronto cop, a law student, and so on. He lies about women from this site calling him for sex, which is just as delicious a lie as I’ve ever heard.
So keep in mind GayMore/LS/GP/PegPigg is the very definition of a troll. If you give any weight to anything he says or treat him as anything more than a toothless old crank, you’ll being a sillynanny.

think what you want to fool. the summit thing was fucking nothing. and i still wouldn’t waste my time going. i see now that most of you are just over inflated douchebags, that will talk about people, if they don’t join your little clique. well folks, if you wanna be a self absorbed ass, like a few of them are, then go. i don’t give a fuck. they will be nice to your face, then stab you in back, quick as they can. wheeliep, i feel relly sorry for you the most. oh yeah, that is how you want everyone to feel.
Oh, poor Gary.
Says he doesn’t care, then sobs like a schoolgirl about it for a few months.
I feel pretty bad for you. You keep trying to cripple bait me, to no reaction, and you’re not smart enough to try another tack.
Keep trying, Gummy Gary! 😀

I’m surprised that nobody has invented a chewing gum cigarette filter so that when you get to the butt, you can just chew it up and freshen your breath at the same.
This issue has been discussed ad nauseum in the past. It’s like spitting. Pointless, disgusting and rude. The only thing is at least spit will dissipate. Jiminy!
I’ve never been to a summit, have never been in a clique and still think you’re a no talent welfare case. I don’t even know what you look like, but figured you were a toothless redneck, and low and behold…I was right all along. I guess you can profile someone by their attitudes and statements.
” I guess you can profile someone by their attitude & statements”
Can you really Shitd … or possibly catch a hint here & there from other posters … or did you maybe just get in a lucky guess ?
