If a douche has a point and posts it on the Coast, will anyone agree with him?
Because fast food wrappers, bags and cups are so much more sightly.
when we smokers had places to go, there was none. blame your fucking self and loud mouth friends for the butts all over the place. when clubs and bars and such stopped that, well look at what you get.
if the nons would have minded their own fucking business, then this shit would not have been written.
All she’s saying is put your butts in the garbage ya Dolt.
And deprive the poor downtown bums from collecting butts? They can’t smoke Tim cups, fer Christ’s sake, although some do eat the plastic lids like potato chips.
… ffs the message goes beyond just cigarettes. Xeno, I feel ya.
Once again, screw you, LS! When I was a smoker, I never threw my butts out the window-my car didn’t even have an ashtray so I got an old bean bag one like my grandpa had. Outdoors, I’d field strip them and carry them out.
The world is not your ashtray.
LS – You may not be a asshole in real life but you play one on LTWWB.
Cigarette butts should be made out of peppermint. That way, the smoker can just pop it in the mouth and freshen their breath. See, solves two problems.
now just one fucking second here, did any of you assholes hear me even hint at throwing them on the ground. no you fucking did not. i said when bars and such had places to smoke in, away from you fucking smoke nazis, there was fuck all butts around. i agree it is disgusting too, but what the fuck you gonna do, put a lit one in your pocket? fuck, some of you just don’t get irony, do you? with that, i will say this, get fucked, and who needs abunch of brain dead fucking idiots around me anyway. good fucking riddance to you.
if i ever catch you littering OP, I’ll make you eat it.
bluenoser. HRM has a lack of garbage cans available to the general public (probably to cash in on littering fines more easily) and you suggest people potentially set that precious few on fire?
Well you anti-smoking dickwads made it illegal to have ventilated smoking rooms inside any building. Hope you’re fucking happy.
sodeypop anal retentive asscocks are NEVER happy.
OB, when a smoker dies, people gather up cigarette butts from the ground to throw on their coffin before dumping 6 feet of dirt on them.
Blah blah blah blah motherfucking blah
“lack of garbage can” well hold your garbage then. ’til you get home.
What if for some reason, they took out baby changing tables in washrooms and you started to see dirty diapers all over the sidewalks and entry ways? Would you blame society, or the mothers for being lazy pieces of disease-spreading shit?
I also think that smokers would save a lot of money if they just continually smoked their cigarettes instead of taking a couple puffs every 20-30 seconds. Just a though, tryna help you people out.
I wasn’t around for the whole removal- of-smoking-areas brouhaha, and although I was so impressed with the four barrel refuse bins HRM sets out I took pictures of them, I never noticed any butt disposal bins. Where I live now, there are butt repositories on the street. If there isn’t a special bin, extinguish the cig, then throw it out, ffs.
I have seen people smoke old butts on the ground, and I think it’s disgusting. What a way to spread filth and disease. I believe that’s what’s called hitting rock bottom.
LS, you sounded a little defensive last night. I hope we can be friends again.
It’s craft night tonight chez nous. Anyone working on something cool? Lately, my crafts have been on the computer…
also, smokers, have you tried using a vaporizer? (smoke free nicotine delivery) It looks kind of like a big pen and what you exhale isn’t smoke, it’s steam. It’s pretty big around here-quite a few of my friends ‘vape’ there’s a little store vapor haven or something that sells the stuff. You can use it at bars and it comes in different flavors-I like the maple one…
Smoke your cigarette, extinguish the butt, put it in the garbage and carry on. What’s so tough about that?
Yes. a vape for…tobacco. Yes.
Struck me as odd as well FS…
I kid you not! (the other kind just happen to be on sale at amazon, though!) ☺
“It’s craft night tonight chez nous. Anyone working on something cool?”
I’m about to start work on a 1/72 scale Noorduyn Norseman bush plane. It can be made with the colors and markings of a Govt. of Saskatchewan air ambulance, circa 1949, with a choice of wheels, skis or floats. Same aircraft depicted on this stamp:

Yeah, yeah, it’s just an excuse to sniff glue. I picked a helluva week to try and quit

Ivan, would that be the same type of plane used in the old show, The Flying Doctor? I wonder how many people remember that show 😉
Craft time here too, I propagated my climbing hydrangea and giant yellow liles a few months ago, now all of a sudden I have 6 lilies up(more coming). So I’m building an indoor aerogarden, to keep them till spring.
WOW! – I don’t and I can’t find any details about the aircraft used in it. The Norseman is generally considered to be the first purpose-built bush plane and is what Glenn Miller was a passenger in when he disappeared over the English Channel in 1944.
Ivan, you would definitely fit in here. One of the people who will be here has this business: http://terranscapes.com
but he has a studio, so he’ll be working on something else here…
Very cool, Xeno. >: )
