Gum

First of all, I believe that chewing gum is a disgusting habit. What is the point? It tastes terrible and gives you a fake feeling of being full. No thanks. That said, reasonable people do chew gum. I'll never understand it, but fine.

Everyone will agree, however, that putting gum on the street is despicable. A young gentleman on the way back from his lunch break might step on it and then carry it with him back to his desk on the bottom of his shoe, making a mess. In addition, that gentleman might have to deal with the smell that the (watermelon) gum leaves around his desk.

I have no problem with Singapore's punishment of caning for these gum bandits. Michael Fay only vandalized some cars and he got hit 4 times with the rattan! Gum bandits should get hit at least 10 times.
