I love living in LP, but to drive around parts of the parish is absolutely embarrassing. It's no wonder that it has the reputation that it does

Ok, so I noticed that my other 2 posts in this thread received all upvotes but this one above received 3 downvotes. Do you not consider throwing your trashy arse cigarette remnants out the window littering? I think it's trashy as frick myself

I noticed it the last time I was in Louisiana. Worst in the country has to be Newark along their freeway. Looks like a landfill.

Im no rocket surgeon, but I'd be willing to bet that there is a direct correlation between the amount of uneducated fatfrick inbred fat fricking retards every state has and the amount of litter on the side of the road. Im not surprised at all that our state looks like shite. Alot of people around here look like shite and have no self respect. Why would they have respect for their environment?


It really blew me away when I moved down here how much trash was literally all along the roads. It really could be such a beautiful state but for the reason stated above its not. I hate becoming desensitized by it also. I just came back from Colorado (Denver area) and was simply amazed by the lack of litter and abundant cleanliness of the state. I really wonder if it is the lack of education that causes it, and if it also correlates with the driving skills in this state. Uneducated poors doing uneducated dumb things. /rant

I can't believe how many people in Louisiana leave their trash in the middle of parking lots.

Carts right in the middle of parking spots, too, when the corral for them is ten feet away. That doesn't happen other places.

Beer bottles are the only acceptable item to throw out your window. Target practice and getting rid of empties

They trash LSU after tailgating, so the rest of the state is fair game as well.

Colorado lacks one thing the southern states have plenty of, take a look around both places and see if our can spot the difference.

While you're sitting at the traffic light, look around on the ground. There are literally hundreds of cigarette butts all over the ground. Cigarette smokers are the worst.

We are talking about the same people who put their trash in shopping baskets or on the pavement in parking lots. Buggy racks 10 feet away and they just leave them. But let's not put these people in any certain class.

Hate on Alabama all you want, but one thing I notice when I travel through that state is how clean and nice their roads


Not sure where in Alabama you have been but I live here and the trash on the side of the roads is frickin awful. Plus, our roads suck too but that is for another thread.

They are the main cause of the litter problem in Lousiana but even the mostly white areas of the state (LP, north LA, cajun country, etc.) have filthy, littered roadways.

We live in the Sportsman's Paradise and we trash it up so bad. I don't understand it. I am not some liberal hater, either.

It really bothers me that fines for littering go to the State Troopers' Retirement Fund instead of to fund cleaning up this place.
