"made me hate them a little more"

It seems like your whole perception of the situation is skewed by your preexisting disdain for these folks.

Maybe that's the point. The people protesting have the same preexisting disdain.. so why would they be anymore convinced than schraual?

This is the exact thing that I am talking about in my comment at the top of the thread. These people simply don't care about this stuff, they won't let anything stop them from hating techies.

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room and close the door."

I don't care if every time they pick up trash it is 100% for show. Because that is still more trash than a lot of people pick up.
