What consequences? Who doesn't like music?!? Oh, and I'll just throw that candy wrapper on the ground. After all, it's of no consequence.

You THINK that your rule-breaking has no consequences. This is called in the safety science "normalization of deviance", and it usually leads to more and more rules being ignored. And not necessarily by _you_ but by other people.

This is colloquially known as "being a bad example".

Litter is a great example. You people and your rules for everything weren't what changed it's prevalence. Social changes and general attitudes were.

Like I said, I've stared into the abyss of what you people will do to a society if left unchecked. You are worse than the alternative. That's why I live where I do.

Well, yes. By making sure more people are bootlickers and don't want to challenge the authority.

Have you lived in any country where you are not coddled by the society?
