- julznz, on 10/11/2007, -5/+22ok... like who dugg this ._.
- shanimal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15They're hippies because they don't want disgusting cigarette butts all over the beach? Most people go to the beach to escape and to have fun- I know when I go to the beach the last thing I want is to walk around and touch butts that have been in some cancerous mouth. I usually don't mind smokers, but I cannot STAND the fact that they think they're allowed to just ***** throw their trash anywhere they want. If I had a nickel for every time I've seen the driver in front of me toss his still lit butt out the window, I'd create my own task force to beat the ***** out of everyone they saw who threw their butts on the ground.
Go ahead and digg me down- it's because you're one of them. - adolfojp, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17"Where the ***** am i gonna put my cig buts..."
Up yours. - Gizza, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11A while ago I use to work at a McDonalds, and each day some one would clean up the trash around the parking lot. One day one of the guys filled an entire large coke cup with cig butts. So gross. Everyday I see smokers just drop the cig and step on it. As if smoking isn't bad enough as it is.
- adolfojp, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13Once I lived in a building that had a center communal area with a grid of plants, grass and pebbles. Most smokers would stand in the hallways that faced the center area and drop their cigarette butts. It took about 6 months to transform the internal patio from paradise to a carpet of foul smelling cigarette remains. Its smell and appearance was unbearable.
Humans are the only mammals that ***** on their own den. - adolfojp, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11I don't care if people smoke. Hell, I don't believe in outlawing almost anything.
But campaigning against those who deface public property I do care about.
It makes me sad to see the local beaches after the holidays. And it is quite frustrating to have to go out there to clean someone else's trash.
It is a matter of respect and civility. - adolfojp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8People who are sick and tired of having to clean somebody else's mess.
- ladyarcher85, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7All they ask is NOT throw your cigarette butts in the beach where it would accumulate and make the whole place filthy!
Its all about respect. Respect for other people so they too may enjoy the surroundings, respect for the environment and most of all respect for yourself. You should be ashamed if you keep throwing your trash everywhere. - rejoined, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8The guy with the 'ON' looks so alone.
- SaladCactusKing, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1453 and counting Diggers love to look at Old Naked Fat Hippies
- adolfojp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Throwing your trash in public/shared spaces instead of walking a few feet to properly dispose of it makes you an *****. When you throw your trash to a public sidewalk/grass/beach you are getting rid of your problem by imposing it on someone else.
I make a lot of trash. But you will not see me disposing of it on your backyard. - Silthrim, on 10/11/2007, -6/+11I feel sorry for the guys that make up the word "the", or maybe they didn't mind...
- shanimal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Our apartment complex has those in front of every staircase and yet I STILL see butts on the ground. It's the same thing as littering- there are trash cans everywhere, but you're still going to see trash on the ground. Now, I don't support the ban of cigarettes- but there HAS to be something the industry (or the government) can do to make either the filters biodegradable or to crack down on offenders. In Florida, the problem is out of hand.
- jjed824, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Dugg simply for the nonsensical inclusion of a Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure clip.
- georgetds, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4While I have no doubt that there are many smokers who use ashtray's or butt bottles or anything else rather then throw their still smoldering butts on the ground, I rather suspect that they are far, far outnumbered by the careless lazy ones who will light forest fires rather then dirty their car's "loose change holder".
- EochaidRiata, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6People who are tired of these drug addicts polluting our beaches.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6I did not
- coreytn81, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Most cigarette filters are composed of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic. The white fibers you see in a cigarette filter are NOT cotton, but a plastic that can persist in the environment as long as other forms of plastic.
- ladyarcher85, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Oh great thank you so much for the label. Just because you are trying to do something for your surroundings you are then tagged as a 'hippie'. Some people just get sick and tired of the filth around them and they decide to do something about it.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7lol @ the homophobes in here.
- dime, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3In case you missed the point, they're talking about litter.
- darthsabbath, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I'm not trying to be snarky, but did you complain to the landlord? I know if it was my private property that was being trashed, I would have a serious problem, and would take the necessary steps to prevent it.. Perhaps some covenant between my tenants and me, or between the owners of the individual units if that was the case, stating that litterers would face fines and possible eviction.
- nicepants, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yes...such a shame that you actually have to THROW THEM AWAY!
- DavidGX, on 10/11/2007, -5/+7How about no butts.. anywhere? Just make the nasty ***** illegal already and be done with it. I'm so tired of smokers who feel they have some right to blow cancer causing, smelly ass smoke where ever they want. ***** smokers. Digg me down, *****. And remember, in 20 - 30 years when you're coughing up chunks of your lungs, just think of that as me laughing at you for being such a dumbass and smoking.
- GeneralBison, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3The 'ON' and the 'NO' guys are totally checking each other out.
- WallnutBoy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1..feel so sorry for whoever had to write the 'BU' in that butt-sentence.. =(
- m2paper, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3curse those handsome devils.
- VirtualCtor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1What litter? No, litter is bad. Go ahead and smoke all you want, just take your trash with you when you leave.
- deadowl, on 10/11/2007, -5/+6They provide poo bags at the beach, but I still haven't seen any provide butt bottles. It's really a shame.
- fluffythekitten, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2THANKS - You said it!
- usha49, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0It would be great if the idea about no butts anywhere is made strictly compulsory. I really find this smoking very very irritating.
- fluffythekitten, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2yep - and you gotta start somewhere...
- aikimann, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2People are always so quick to make what they don't like illegal. Fortunately, we live in a country where, for the most part, you can do whatever you want to your own body, so long as it doesn't infringe upon someone else's rights. So, I do think cigarettes should be banned on public property (i.e. beaches). But if a private owner of a business wants to allow smoking on the premises, that's their choice. And it's your choice whether or not you patronize that business. We as a society need to stop thinking we know whats best for everyone and forcing it upon them. Let people do what they want, as long as it doesn't affect you.
- Biznack, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2People are also gradually becoming tired of black-vs-white thinking people that do nothing but make assumptions and call *other* people slanderous names. Not to oppose you or anything.
- Fuline, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3but.. :(
- pantsbandit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Yay! Bravo! anagoge wins teh universe!
- SigmaDraconis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3And now, someone who should actually be showing off their butt on the beach:
http://thesuperficial.com/2007/07/kim_kardashian_miami_bikini_pi.php - PINGKING666, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Not what I need to see.
- anagoge, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2im in ur butt, freezing...
- hakluytbean, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1This doesn't make sense to me. You'd think nudists and smokers would hang out together; both groups are social outcasts. Plus smoking at the beach keeps it away from the streets. Pretty soon the beach will be only place you can smoke. Anyway I've actually smoked on that beach... the real problem used to be the ring pulls and syringes up at the pier end. The nudist end (the marina end) was quite neat and tidy.
- Zbrah, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I didn't even notice the cig butt until like 10 seconds of staring, b/c I was so distastefully distracted by the other butts.
- Amazonca, on 09/02/2008, -0/+0They really don't mind ! ;)
need me? my space:

- chrisinsocalif, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I bet they are suffering from shrinkage.
- guiditocrzz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0it would be amazing, i dont like the smoke
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0well... NO BUTTS ALLOWED! it should say :-)
- nost4lgic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I can't tell which bottoms are female or not, so I'll go ahead and say all of them are 'hawt'.
- sinembarg0, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1It's like checking yourself out in the mirror.
- Anothercoilgun, on 01/27/2008, -0/+0Smoking is infinitely stupid. But what will kill the 400,000 a year in its place? You have to admit that its a good population control.
The issue of smoking can be thought of from many views as in personal health, environmental, and impact on national health care. All of which have proven to be concrete. Yet, what is first above all, the highest concern, is the immediate effects on smoking victims, the naturally born right to breath descent air.
The human body is not fitted to inhale cigarette smoke. If common sense fails you, perhaps the hard for me to believe effort on your behalf to learn about the respiratory system or at least the reading of the works of others who have will knock some added sense into those needing this knocking. If the nearly endless charts, diagrams, X-rays, documentaries, campaigns, and images of IV totting voice box assisted smokers all which depict the harm of smoking fails to see the error of this way of the walk, then perhaps what follows is just the key to those needing this epiphany. Observe the very process of manufacturing cigarettes. All kinds of toxic chemicals and heavy elements are ADDED to the base of cigarettes to bypass the natural securities of the respiratory system. This is called freebasing. This alone should scare you. Remember all those big long multi part chemistry words in school also seen on the warning labels of house hold and industrial chemicals, well all those are inside cigarettes too. Then on top of all this another whole onslaught of chemical processes are used to mask the masks. All kinds of stuff necessary to just cover over the toxicity of the entire process as a whole. And for what? To brake down and bypass a humans natural defenses against a puff of cigarette! Now if all this is not the preponderance to convince anyone that I and all others who choose not to smoke but yet are regularly and unavoidably attacked from no fault of our own, then I must say I do not and I will not respect you in any way, shape, fashion, or form. You do not deserve respect.
Cigarette smoke is a chemical attack on the human body. Key point here, now listen up and read closely. The attack is unavoidable. Every where you walk, shop, work, and even sleep the non-smoking victims have no choice but to take the blows of the attack. Who gives a she-it about a smokers right, no one no where must have the right to violate the well being of others especially in an environment where this well being would naturally flourish indefinitely had it not been for the universally wrong act of a selfish few disrupting the lives of the many.
The worst is to have no choice but to be attacked in ones own home. Cigarette smoke has a long reach, is dynamic, lingers, and absorbs into the wall, furniture, and carpet of the unwilling. It actually smells different after traveling and passing through barriers. This lingering toxic annoying plum trumps other foul orders like burned popcorn or rotten food. You start to breath differently because the lungs sense something is not right. Once you become conscious of this all bets are off for actually focusing on things or having a god given right to rest unlabored. The source of the smoke can transpire over only a few minutes but the destination will remain submersed in this disgusting evil gas long after. I have more times than should ever exist been denied the ability to freely breath in my own home because some ones smoke has either traveled a long distance (yes it goes a long way) or made its way through walls and ceilings. Cigarette smoke permeates very well and too well if you ask me. Very unconceivable for a person to pick and move residence just because some other selfish person does not give a rats butt of others. No guaranty the next location will be any different. A victim can ask the offender to consider how they are causing lose of sleep, and degraded quality of life. The smoker of course cannot see how this is true. And if the smoker does miraculously stops or the even more unlikely event of doing what ever is necessary on the smoker's end to keep their stench strictly to themselves, then I applaud that one lucky victim. So how are the remaining victims of the world to protect themselves. We can keep car windows rolled up at stop signs. This works albeit once again a denial of control over ones own property. We can take a different route during walks, keep a good eye on smokers up the way and learn to divert our path while holding our breaths. This works albeit once again a denial of control over basic necessities. We can buy industrial high power air flow filters that kick into gear on detection of being attack at home. This could work albeit expensive, cold, and problematic in its own right. We can wear gas mask in our own homes so that we can experience the pleasure of our comfort in concert with whatever idiotic marketing mass hypnosis produced pleasure smokers are supposed to experience.
Did you get that key point I laboriously typed similar to how I and millions of others are without provocation forced to laboriously breath. Smoking is an attack. Smoking attacks victims in their own homes. Smoking attacks are unavoidable. Just like the laws protecting people from being violated and harassed regardless of location, these laws ought to extend to the violation and harassment of smoking be it private, public, who gives a phuawk. - Rockaroo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I hope that the same awareness can apply to leaving butts not only on our beaches but streets, parks and our yards. They eventually make it into our water systems and oceans.
