Enjoy your time on earth because it doesn't rain in hell.

You calling Australia hell buddy?

A country that has people who sift sand for decomposing cigarrette butts
sounds like hell to me!

Only to smokers who care so little about other people that they dump
their butts instead of taking them home.

True story. Friend of mine was on Maria Island (a historic site) with a
group of friends, staying in one of the refurbished buildings with a
full length verandah. One of her friends was bitching about people
leaving rubbish about in such an environment. Asked my friend why she
has such a dubious look on her face, at which time Kate said that she
really couldn't see the difference between people tossing lolly
wrappers, orange peels etc and other people tossing cigarette butts.

The original complainant was a smoker and had been tossing her butts
over the verandah rail. She went red in the face and started picking up
her butts, as did a couple other smokers in earshot who'd been doing
the same thing.

If you can't figure out the message from this, Donal, perhaps it's time
to deflate your defensive self-righteousness. Once sufficient people
decide you don't have the right to litter public places, you don't get
to smoke there if that's what it takes.

You can carry a full pack of butts in with you. WTF is so difficult
about carrying the used butts out?
