Oops! Didn't realize this needs a facebook account to view.
It is a funny little skit where a young woman drops something and a young man picks it up to hand to her.
He notices her necklace and asks where she got it. She says her best friend gave it to her when they were kids, but he disappeared on a hiking trip, most people think he may have been eaten by a bear.
The necklace is of cat shaped like half a heart. The young man reaches inside his shirt and pulls out the mating half. She looks at him with wide eyes and questions, "Kevin?" He says, "no, I'm Jay and I found this in a pile of bear poop. Your friend Kevin definitely got eaten by a bear, that't crazy."

This always has been, but it accelerated sharply during Covid and shows no sign of slowing down. People from the city that belong in the city. They are entitled, rude and generally pigs and do not understand anything about nature. They are still their city selves, not even seeing what is there, and annoying anyone who are quiet and respectful of others. I live in the middle of a 280k acre state forest, and it has changed. I doubt it goes back. These people do not belong in the forest.
Don't even get me started on the side by sides...........

At the very least, we can blame some of the behavior on alcohol in this case

The fact they turned themselves in is a positive sign, hopefully the prosecutor and judge will consider this and their sentence will be limited to community service cleaning up the ocean or beaches. I doubt they were sober when they dumped the trash cans.

I was born and raised in a city and have resided in cities all my life. I have enjoyed time outside cities including wilderness canoe and kayak camping trips, back country hikes etc. I strongly disagree with your rude generalization of people from the city. @holes come from everywhere not just cities.

I said "People in the city that belong in the city". I did not say all city dwellers.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Town mouse and country mouse facing off, almost come to blows!

Doug you are exactly right here. It is a rude generalization no matter how cleverly the semantics are worked.

There are differences though. Our driveway is big enough for any size horse trailer to easily get in and out with plenty of parking, and has even handled semi-trucks once in a while. Over the years, we've seen hundreds of different cars and vehicles pull in mostly with people picking up puppies. There are no marked parking spaces.
Where are the people from that pull in and are so obviously confused about where is a good place to park without the lines? More than a few can manage to park where it blocks everything up with no room for anyone else to get by. Now I can understand if it's a rental car, which is no small percentage of the total, but if it's a freshly detailed car with numbers and letters on it like AMG, M6, etc., etc., I doubt these are rental cars. I don't think these people are even used to being out in the country. It's not unusual too for some to have a hard time backing up with I'm sure backup cameras in the fancy cars.
Sorry to get off topic, but I just decided to throw this in here. It's always entertaining to us.

You always make me laugh, turned themselves in, seriously?
There is a video recording of them in the act, it's not as if they can deny it.
Nothing more than a bunch of spoiled rich kids doing something stupid on someone else's boat.
IMO, It's just a lack of respect all around, for the environment, other boaters, the law and themselves.
They're lucky the Coast Guard didn't catch them

My point was putting them in jail for a few months does little to undo the harm they did and would cost the taxpayers a few thousand dollars that could be better used elsewhere. If they are spoiled rich kids a fine will have little impact on them or the environment. Having them spend a couple hundred hours cleaning up beaches would. What would you propose an appropriate punishment would be?
Contributor
Mmmm, your actual post said "People from the city that belong in the city." But in either case, it is a difference without a distinction. A reasonable response to my post would be an apology not an attempt to pretend you didn't insult a few hundred million city from cities.
