Post by The Wiz » Sat Jul 07, 2018 1:16 pm

I fish from the bank at different lakes and ponds and I am sick and tired of the crap that I find on the shores. From fishing line, tackle, empty worm containers, bottles and food wrappers. I have found discarded clothing, shoes, etc. As a Boy Scout, I was always taught to leave your area cleaner than you found it. Apparently, that is not taught at majority of house holds anymore. I am always picking up crap but it does not make any dent in what I see. Any what drives me absolutely bonkers is there are trash cans all over the freaking place! Today took the cake. Two teen boys fishing with father and when they moved on, food wrappers , plastic bottles littered the place. How are the boys going to learn if the dad is head pig. Ok, I am done. I feel better.

Don't blame you on your rant. Some people just don't have any manners or common sense (otherwise know as idiots).

I hear you loud and clear! I work at a Military base. I am in charge of a staging area for equipment. I am not above policing the area and picking up trash.
What is wrong with people nowadays? I too was a Scout and was taught at a young age to pickup after myself and others as need be. It's just common sense.
