This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I used to find some of those. Baffling, especially given by gozer

That it was a rural mountain road with the houses spread out about 1 every 1/4-1/2 mile. If you don't want to pick it up, fine, just kick it to the side and the flies will eat it in a few days, but don't bag it, that just means someone has to deal with the damn bag.

Used to have neighbors that would ride their horses and leave their leavings in the road too... always thought that was a bit rude. But after afew days it'd get run over by enoigh carsto more or less disappear.
