Defecating dog sparks US shootoutSo apparently, a couple of good ole' boys in Mississippi (who'd a thunk it?) decided to take shots at each other over the possibility of one's dog taking a shit on the other's lawn. How Haemish stands living in that state I will never understand.

Meh, if people didn't get uppity about their precious lawns, I wouldn't care where my dog dropped a load. It's a fucking dog. It shits. Get over it.
So I guess I'd be the one getting shot then. I live here because I can't afford to move anywhere else.

I put significant time, money and effort into my lawn...take alot of pride in it. Be courteous and pick up your dog's shit. How hard is that?
Would I shoot somebody over it? Tempted, but no. I am not against, however, channeling Hank Evans by grabbing my morning paper and taking a hudge on your doorstep.

I put almost no effort into my lawn and I still wouldn't want your dogs shit on it.

It's a turd that absolutely ruins that manicured landscape they've worked oh so hard to define. Oh the humanity! I'm going to fill my yard with pinestraw and declare victory.

Sterile unnatural landscape at that. Lawns are a scourge (exception granted for places where lawn grass actually comes from.)

Toxoplasmosis is transmitted in dog shit (and cat shit). Young kids can pick it up easily by playing on areas that have had shit on them. This can cause scarring in the retina, which is rarely a problem, but more or an issue is if it's then passed on to pregnant women since it's pretty bad for the foetus and can cause blindness and serious birth defects.
There was a guy who used to let his dog shit on the verge outside my house every day, and when I asked him if he'd mind clearing it up one day he got abusive and threatened to set his dog (a doberman) on me. Next day I photographed him & dog mid-shit, reported him to the police and never saw him again. He probably just got a warning, since I was never asked to give evidence or anything, but it stopped the pile of shit outside my house appearing every day.
And if you're saying "what's the problem with dog shit?"... well, right back at ya. What's the fucking problem with picking it up, you antisocial filthy fucktards.

It's not about the lawn, its about you leaving your dogs shit all over the place. If your comfortable with dog shit, then have it shit in your own yard.
It is not a unreasonable request to not have someone leave their shit on your property.

Depends, if we're talking about letting the dog wander into the middle of the yard and shit on your lawn? Yeah that's being a dick. If you're talking about the strip across the sidewalk near the street? I think that's fair game as a poop strip. Otherwise why is it there? It's not like it serves much purpose. Also I think that letting the dog shit on places where no human would be walking is fine. High grass qualifies, or places with bushes or monkey grass. Also pine straw is usually cool if you cover it. The beach is probably questionable because you will probably dig up a turd in a sand castle at some point. Golf courses are a definite no go. Astro-turf is a grey area because it's not really grass. I mean if you can pick it up and shake off the turd, should we consider picking it up Do they field turf outdoors these days? Seems like more of a stadium thing. That's probably no dogs allowed though.

No, it doesn't depend. Don't leave your shit in front of my house. If your happy with dog shit, pile it in front of your own home. As long the bit of land (whatever it may be, lawn, curb, sidewalk, rock garden) is my responsibility to maintain or a shared space (playground, soccer field etc), don't leave your shit around for someone else to clean up. It's no different then someone deciding to just dump their garbage onto your lawn. Pick up your own shit. Yes, I always throw my trash into a bin, and yes if there isn't a bin nearby I hold onto it till I find one.

My dog goes outside in the front yard on a cable and does all his business out there. We pick it up regularly and don't have to worry about kids, so it's fine for us.
But goddammit if the next door neighbor's dogs pooping in our yard didn't make us rage. Mostly because they were in the habit of just opening the door to let their dogs out unattended and the one time I mentioned it to the father, he was like "Oh, I never knew they left our yard" (he was also a fucking moron though). We said that their dogs had been pooping in our yard and barely got a sorry out of them. It was like look dude, just because I have to pick up after my Golden regularly doesn't mean I want to pick up after your Sheltie, KC Cavalier and Shitzu as well, you know? Besides, I -know- the areas my dog can reach on his cable and where to expect poop if I'm walking in the yard. Your little fucking punt dogs just go anywhere in any yard on the street and you don't seem to care. Too bad they walked away from their mortgage and moved before I got annoyed enough to call animal control on them.

So if you didn't own a lawn and instead owned a yard covered in pinestraw would this be an issue?
Is it about the lawn, or the dog. It's not about both, one has to be bigger than the other. Is it that the dog is shitting on my LAWN? Or is it that the dog is shitting on my PROPERTAH?

It's about being a responsible adult and cleaning up after your fucking animal. I get angry seeing people letting their dogs shit on the sidewalks and streets too, and those aren't my property. Same with the beach goers and park walkers who don't see any reason to pick up after their dog just taking a shit right there near the water or in the baseball field. Be a responsible animal owner and clean up after your mess. It's not limited to just animals. When I see people tossing food trash on the ground, dumping their used motor oil in the parking lot of a business, taking a sofa\mattress out of their house and just leaving it in the middle of the street until it starts rotting, I get pissed. Because "it's not my problem anymore!" isn't a good reason to just shit up everywhere but your own house and assume that someone else will come up and clean it once you run off. So don't think of it as someone's pet coming and pooping in your yard, think of it as them dumping their leftover dinner in your yard. "It'll decay" doesn't mean I want their trash\shit in my face. Be responsible and put it in the damn trash can.

How about it being a pile of exposed feces? Seriously dude, are you posting through a time warp to the dark ages or some shit?

It's been fascinating to me watching Paelos have a transformation from a Christian to an American.
With this 'hey, I'm self entitled and I can shit anywhere I like, oh noes, wait, I'm just trolling' thread, I think the journey is finally complete. Next up, getting him to piss on nuns.

I don't own a dog. I won't because I don't want to be the one cleaning up after it before I mow the lawn and I know that's the ultimate endgame there, despite what the kids and wife said. Yesterday I mowed the lawn for the first time this year and there were 3 piles of shit all over the front yard. Not the treelawn, the goddamn yard. You bet your ass I'm willing to shoot whoever did that, or their dog because, fuck you, it's not my fucking dog so why am I doing your job for you.

Or throwing down their goddamned cigarette butts wherever they damned well please.

Not Catholic, so that's not really a big deal for us. In reality, you're right I think it's totally ridiculous not to pick up after your dog. Part of living in a human society is not to shit on others. I just don't like lawns, and I like to poke at lawn owners. Really they are just a fuck you to the world, as they've always been intended. It's a move by the rich in the past to prove that they didn't need to use their land to grow crops like everyone else. They had so much land that they could just grow manicured grass on it to prove how much land they had. Aren't we rich, they would say as they strolled their commons. As I've said, if I get a front yard, I'm covering half in pinestraw and growing tomatoes on the other half. If a dog shits on my tomatoes, I would shoot it.

Sure, if we compost it first. I'm pretty sure the regular version contains roundworm. Either way, I'm pretty sure I'd fence in tomatoes, so it's not a real issue.
