Another American tradition down the drain.
ReplyDeleteAsked to stop my ass. Fine him and make him pay for it to be replaced.
ReplyDelete10:42 You do realize that they are doing this in wet cement right? Now just using sidewalk chalk. If you want to put your name on your sidewalk go ahead. Just don't destroy public property
ReplyDeleteYes, I realize it is wet cement. I am 69 years old and this was a tradition when I was a youngster. It does not destroy the cement. I guess you want to be politically correct or something. You probably even wear a bicycle helmet, don't you? This country has become a bunch of pansy-ass losers, afraid of their own shadows.
ReplyDeleteSurprising that anyone can write more than their initials in Crisfield.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of anyone who did this on public property. On you own private property yes but not a public sidewalk.
ReplyDeleteWe would never have thought to do this anymore then we would have thought to spray paint our initials on a public sidewalk even though painting doesn't destroy the cement either.
I'm in my 50's and if I would have permanently defaced public property like this and my mother saw it, I would have had to pay for the replacement! With that being said, this is probably why we too would never have thought to even do this. Chalk hop scotch yes, but not something permanent.
ReplyDeleteif caught; a Hefty fine in addition to paying for re-pouring would be fair.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you re-pour a sidewalk for initials being etched in it? If the contractor can't get initials out of concrete without re-pouring it then maybe Crisfield should rethink that contractors abilities and ever hiring them again. What a waste of money.
ReplyDeleteYeah, carving your name in your school desk was a tradition, too, but not all traditions are worth keeping.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just initials that are being carved into the wet concrete -- they are things that are not so polite as that. I, for one, don't want to walk down Crisfield's main drag with my little grandchildren and have them exposed to phallic and other crude depictions.
ReplyDelete"...other areas are being busted up..."
ReplyDeleteOnly on the Eastern Shore do journalists use a phrase like this.

ReplyDeleteSo you think it is ok to destroy public property? I guess I was taught you DON'T ruin something that doesn't belong to you. Would it be ok if they spray painted things around time as long as it has pretty flowers on it? Maybe they could use the side of your house.
