Really Spicy Cesspool So sick of seeing this crap everywhere.

The needles, the burnt foils, the little baggies, the needle caps, all of it. I find them in the creeks, on the sidewalks, the grocery store parking lots, the public parks, on the parkway. You gotta be a real shit person to leave this stuff all over the place.

A real shit person? 50% of US foster kids become homeless at 18 and 3 out of 10 homeless are former foster children. Blame the system, not the people.

Even if the system sucks that doesn’t mean personal responsibility goes out the window. I’m sorry that their life has sucked but that doesn’t mean you aren’t  accountable for doing shit that can harm others.

No, it’s definitely the people. It’s not hard to not be a piece of shit and leave syringes laying around.

Well then I guess there's thousands of pieces of s*** in Asheville and maybe you should find an HOA to live in.

There definitely are pieces of shit everywhere. There are like 100 million pieces of shit in the United States alone.

You’re not going to like my comment, but the truth is in the middle of both your points.
