Illinois butthurt for $

Basically toss a cigarette butt out your car window and you can face up to $1,500 fine in illinois. Don't get me wrong i'm as against littering as the next person but this is ridiculous. If you want to pretend like this law is about our environment,then let's make this the case for all littering. The link didn't say anything about it, but someone at work said tossing four(or four charges of tossing?) can get you charged with a felony. DISCUSS,DEBATE, WHINE AND BITCH YOUR OPINIONS ON THIS MATTER. I'd say right now i'm at a debate level with it, but give it some time and i'll be bitching nonstop about this shit.

Only people who would/should really have a problem with it are smokers who constantly toss their trash out the window.. There's an ashtray in your car for a reason, and you can buy one to fit in the cup holder or on the door for a few bucks.

Doubt it'll get enforced much though.

EDIT: okay it's not just for tossing it out the window, so an ashtray may not always be that convenient. Meh, how hard is it to put it out on the ground and use the cellophane or something to hold the butts til you can find a trash can though..

I'm not really okay with tossing trash wherever just because it's inconvenient to dispose of it properly.

I don't see a problem with that, and apparently neither does their state legislature.

I never understood everyone's beef with littering.  It's funny really, because trash collection is just a massive, collective act of littering.  Except we ship it around and consume fuel in the process.

Leave a piece of plastic in the wrong place and you're a litterbug.  Create 10,000 tons of plastic and you're a captain of industry.

Where we leave our garbage shouldn't be nearly so much of a concern as why we make and buy so much of it.  My 2 cents.

Even when I smoked I would put a smoke out on the ground and pocket it 'til a trashcan.  Littering is lame.

Cigarettes in Illinois have gotten so expensive in the past few years. Across the river gas is 25 cents cheaper and cigarettes are at least 3 dollars cheaper depending on what you smoke.

They've been butt hurt for a while, a lot of corrupt politicians in Illinois.
So glad I don't smoke cigs! :lol:

I tell you what i don't like about littering.
  For one its shitty looking. The only people that seem not to care are ones that live in shitty areas to begin with.  People that live in nice areas and take pride in keeping the places nice hate it when some shit bird passes by and shits on their community.
Cig butts cause forest fires.
trash kills wildlife

it's about littering, HuffPuff just targeted the cigarette butts, so in the
reality of things, a lot of people other than smokers will be affected

The fine should be 5g's. 10g's if it's still lit. For a first offense.

A second offender should be kneecapped.

A third offender should be executed. Painfully.

And yes... it should apply to all who litter. Fucking scumbags.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I know you cant be this clueless, we move the trash to a convenient location
called a landfill, that landfill is lined with a special membrane and pipes
that allow for the collection of methane gas which then allows us to generate
energy, yes Margret, decomposing garbage is an energy source and in several
decades that landfill becomes a recreation center or housing for the wealthy
