hmmmmmm

nice article, i do get frustrated with society in respect to what people are going to 'put up with'

i know we teach RBSD to be better people, to walk away when we can, not let our ego get the better of us, turn the other cheek.....blah blah blah

but sometimes i just wanna see the little fuckers get what they deserve.. and it should have start with a slap round the ear from there parents years ago.....

if a window is broke, fix it now, sort the problem straight away .... before the problem thinks it dont need fixing

Hi Les,

I guess it's a matter of taking responsibility and being an example again. For example at UK trainstations it's hard to find a dustbin. I keep my stuff on me till I find a dustbin or give it to staff in the coffee-bars. If I see what people leave on a train, their food wrappers their empty bottles etc... Having staff on the train that cleans the rubbish is no excuse to just leave litter behind. If the problem originates from a bad example the solution is likely to be in a good example too. Ghandi said be the change you want to see in the world.

Hi Nick

Good point.

I'm guessing the lack of bins in stations is for security reasons - (bomb threats, etc)
but yeah, how many people drop litter and say "it keeps someone in a job"

zero tolerance is possibly a solution!
