| Comment | i dont subscribe to the idea of "broken windows theory" at all in the way its generally been formulated and applied, but i think it applies completely to glasgows litter problem, albeit with an injection of glaswegian laziness. i mean if the side of the road youre walking along is completely deluged in fucking litter, just fucking swamped, to the extent it looks like youd need a military operation to fully cleanse it, and its 4 am and youre holding an empty chippy box or whatever in your hand, and youve still got half a mile to walk until you get to your flat, and you look at the side of the road again and the state its in.....i cant possibly fully begrudge the person whose conclusion in that situation is "fuck it" |
