I'm hardly advocating burning people's cars and violence - which was why I went on to explain the futility of reacting that way. I'm not the "thinking with his fists" kind of guy. <blockquote><i>"I’m sure he/she would understand and think twice before doing it again."</i></blockquote> Unfortunately as I said talking to these people doesn't do any good. They'd most likely say they wouldn't do it again but habits like that are almost impossible to break and there are so many people who have an "out of sight, out of mind" attitude to littering that it would be a waste of time. Education is the only answer and for many people it's probably too late. Eh, did you read the rest of the article Chaz and not just the first paragraph?!

And violence doesn't help anyone or strengthen an argument. Perhaps you should take a deep breath and calmly catch up to the car and explain the issue. I'm sure he/she would understand and think twice before doing it again. Peace. Uh, wouldn’t setting a car on fire emit toxins into the air, which in turn hurts the planet?

You could post it to a rec group :) I'm with you on the position. The only thing I'm going to be guilty of possibly discarding out the window is perhaps a banana skin. I don't suppose we have the option to ask them to leave our planet, though, do we ? Heh, I don’t remember seeing this one in your Flickr photostream. You could post it to a rec group :)
