How about your weird use of the word "haven" (as in, past tense of have) instead of just "have"?

The first time I read it I wondered how tossing trash on the street creates a refuge from the stresses of life.

I am soooo relieved that I am not the only one.  I thought my English reading comprehension skill was seriously lacking.

Oh wow. Its spelled having.
That just seems.... Wrong. But so goes English.
For a while there googling in my half asleep state it seemed there wasn't actual a word for this sort of past progressivey have.

No, Its did not spell having, whoever Its is.

And there you go with the randomizer again.

Having is correct.

The phrase "having given up on life" should possibly be in quotes or replaced with a word like "apathetic" in formal English, but this is conversational English.

Its is spelled I-T-S.  Jeez.

[crazy canuck]

It is,  unless a contraction of it is

What that spoof is far of, is of being funny.
