Places where you should not move:

Riverside CA, where it is illegal for people to kiss on the lips without rinsing with carbonized rose water first.

In Alabama, it is illegal to play dominos where billiard tables are also present.

In Nebraska, a bar cannot serve beer unless soup is also available.

In South Carolina, kids are not permitted to play pinball machines.

You might never get off the phone in these places, as so many people would require the swift hand of Citizens' Justice.

No worries. By the way - I saw a wonderful rundown trailer park in Bradenton - I think you would fit in quite nicely with the folks there - Don't worry I'll stay away - not the crowd that I run with.

Garbage pick up for my area is Tuesday. Every Monday night, people in pick up trucks drive around my sub division looking for anything they think might have some re-sale value and they take anything that is metal.
It's sad to see that people have to do this to make a few bucks. Looks like some people haven't gotten the memo that Santa Claus is still alive, doing very well and taking care of alot of people [and not only on 12/25]

Thank you for making a post that adds to the overall topic without resorting to name-calling and insults. It seems that some other posters (when unable to debate effectively, prove their point with facts, links, sound reasoning etc), - get bewildered and instead just hurl out insults to those with an opposing viewpoint.

Life by a dumpster apparently makes people grouchy.

OK I forgive you Frida. Thank you for explaining your grouchiness.

By the way such an intellect you have dear.

Just do a Google search about mandatory recycling and you'll see that many cities across America have laws and stiff penalties in place. They also ENCOURAGE "good citizens" to report all violators. Now notice please that I supply a link to back up my claim as factual. Here are the rules from Haward, CA:

https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q...7TTrS2BA6Tle1w

From above linked document:

"Escalating fines of $100, $200, $500"

also

"Residents urged to report all scavenging to HDP Dispatch"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmmm... Why is it that cities all across the country urge businesses to recycle, enforce stiff fines if they don't comply, and urge good citizens to report violators to the authorities?????

I wonder why.

Take the advice above and get help.
You said you did research, you should have done that first rather than bothering everyone here with your trolling.
I'm done feeding you, and you, sir have a bridge to protect.
"Sorry Wondermint, every time God rebukes, he makes sure humans were told what was expected."

Link please? I'm sorry but without a link to back up your statement it doesn't mean much to me. And anyway it's not as if the fine is a 10 year prison sentence. I believe the first offense is a $100 fine.

Second - ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law. Haven't you heard that before dear?

Third I don't think my neighbor is ignorant of the law. It's a big major successful restaurant that's been in business for many years. On weekends the place is packed.

I don't really care enough to research it. I was going by what you pasted(it said City of Sarasota). I was just trying to help you because you pasted "city" info but mentioned county.
