wsea98116ParticipantMark, as the self appointed judge on when enough is enough on so many threads- you seem to feel very comfortable calling people names, misrepresenting posters comments, and making very pointed characterizations about others trying to express their opinions.
I understand, it’s Mark’s ordained duty to decide when to quash things- but if the gist of your input is “Mark says YOU SHUT UP NOW!”, perhaps YOU should take the chill pill, and let the rest of use continue our discussion..

mark47nParticipantI didn’t appoint myself any role, you did, however, just now. Does it come with a hat and uniform?
I didn’t tell you to shut up and I didn’t misrepresent your comments. I said that your outrage doesn’t fit the crime and that’s my opinion.
I didn’t call anyone names. The closest I came was to call Valvashon’s poop flinging psychotic and nutty as a Pearson nut roll…though not nearly as delicious ;)
I believe in free speech and you are certainly free to not like what I have to say. I AM a part of this discussion, just one that you don’t like. You are the one that has invoked ad hominem attacks, and name calling and stated that I’m that my voice is immaterial to the topic at hand. So my counter advice to you is step off. You opened this thread with a vitriolic rant about dogs and their owners pop disposal habits and I happened to be one of the voices that countered. I am assertive and may even tend towards aggressive, I suggest you deal with it.

wsn00bParticipantI’m planning on adding security cameras to my home sec system next year. Since I often find poop on my street level/un-fenced front lawn and parking strip, I think I’m going to write some code that automatically snapshots and uploads pictures/videos of folks and their dogs, when they don’t pick up their poop, to a website : wspoopblog.com (TM) . And then sell the app and make meellions. On the sad side, last week a trick-treating kid accidentally stepped on an abandoned fresh poop pile in my front yard on Halloween night. I gave her a bunch of extra candy since she had to call it a night. Thankfully it was pouring and the rain clean up poop stains on my steps.
November 5, 2015 at 9:11 pm #828782
wsea98116ParticipantYes- I would agree with you there- you are aggressive.

2 Much WhineParticipantHang on for a second, I need to put more butter on my popcorn for this showdown. . . . . . . ok, proceed.

The great part about this country is that there are all kinds of folks here and we can all get along. For every person that is offended by the parasitic mob of filthy dogs there’s another person that lets dogs lick their face. I am one of the people that doesn’t mind if you put your dog poop bag in my garbage. It’s not even a tiny little blip on my radar and elicits no emotion whatsoever. I’m not even sure how I’d know if you did it anyway, the garbage goes out Sunday night and when I get home from work on Monday the can is empty – I don’t spend a lot of time searching for unwanted trash in my garbage can between Sunday and Monday evening. For every person that is super upset by your poop bag there is another one that doesn’t mind at all – the tough part is figuring out which one is which and which one will throw your bag into the street or perhaps gun you down in cold blood for violating the sanctity of their garbage can.

I know it is a red herring but what bothers me is those people that feed peanuts to the squirrels. Now THAT is upsetting. . . . . so for every person that hates squirrels there is another one that likes to feed them – and we can all get along.

wsea98116ParticipantHaha! 2 much whine- best response yet!
November 5, 2015 at 10:01 pm #828785
mark47nParticipantTo be frank, I’m still at assertive with a little tongue-in-cheek humor mixed in.
November 5, 2015 at 10:11 pm #828786
wsea98116ParticipantAre you calling me frank now?
Look, I don’t have a problem with poop.. Poop good! Everyone poops, I’ve even read the book! Pooping is getting the bad stuff in us, out of us! I celebrate everyone’s right to poop! I encourage all wildlife to poop as they deem necessary, in the course of wildlife-ing.
In communities, pooping also comes with responsibility. (Babies can sometimes be irresponsible with their poop, and those careless babies are forced to wear diapers.)
I keep, or deal with my poop, and you likewise- except with pet dogs! For some reason- no one (in practice) is held responsible for their dogs waste- That is my only beef here! It is not a problem with A dogs waste- it is the sheer abundance that is carelessly dealt with. One poop/pee- who cares! 50 poops/pees every day in the same spot, day after day- that’s a lot of crap! Try to be cognoscente of others as you guide your pet. You don’t HAVE to let your dog, or HAVE your dog, piss at husky deli! That’s all I’m saying, people. It’s inconsiderate. You’ve trained your dog not to piss in YOUR HOUSE! Now, how about a little respect for the rest of your community, including those people working to beautify the junction (for example) by planting flowers, and collecting trash..
Only if care about others, of course! :)

SmittyParticipant“I don’t spend a lot of time searching for unwanted trash in my garbage can between Sunday and Monday evening.”
For some reason, whoever puts their bag in my can does so on Monday afternoon! When I take out my first bag of trash there is always a bag of poop on the bottom. I have to reach in and remove it so as not to have the weight of my garbage cause it to squish out all over the inside of my can – nice visual, huh?
“For every person that is super upset by your poop bag there is another one that doesn’t mind at all”
Exactly why we should all assume that people would be super upset. Err on the side of caution.

valvashonParticipantMark47n- “psychotic” that I tossed a bag of dog waste into the street? Why is it acceptable to use my garbage can for anything if you are out and about- pack it in and pack it out. If my garbage can wasn’t there you would have had to pack it out, so pretend that it isn’t there. I don’t work from home and can’t always be there to pull the cans in right away, and your other solution of putting out a special container for it just shows you aren’t paying attention- I don’t want to deal with dog waste in any fashion!
If somebody on the street bumps into me I consider it an accident- your thought that I might shank somebody for doing just that again shows you aren’t paying attention. There’s a world of difference between bumping into somebody and using my can to dispose of your dog waste. I guess it takes a special kind of dog-owning denial to confuse the two.
And yes, I will keep tossing dog waste into the street. As long as inconsiderate dog owners keep putting it in my trash can or leaving in on the planting boulevard. That’s why I keep a flat shovel on hand.
November 5, 2015 at 10:32 pm #828789
wsea98116ParticipantAmen, Smitty! Haul it in, haul it out. One day, people will be embarrassed to return home with the dog, and not carrying a baggy!

mark47nParticipant@ Ws98116: To be frank is to be direct.
In none of my posts did I let bad behavior off the hook. What I DID say is that the over the top reaction to the topic at hand is at issue. There are all sorts of ways to deal with this issue, but for you it is clearly a veritable assault on your person. To me, it is something I find to be irritating but not something that cause me to rupture an organ. It has nothing to do with having a dog so much as what can I really do about it? I can bring my can in. If there happens to be poop in it I put it in the small bin outside of my garage, where I place the bag from my yard collections, and forget about it. I can’t collar every scofflaw. If you read my first post, I have returned said abandoned poop to the rightful owner.
As to dogs being filthy and parasitic; it’s simply not accurate. Cat’s on the other hand, wander the neighborhood and crap in your garden, bury it and let you dig in it, subjecting you to their parasites, which are much more numerous and to toxoplasmosis, which is incredibly harmful. Not to mention that there are cats EVERYWHERE.
@Valvashon: First of all, yes, I think fishing a poop bag out of your garbage bin and then flinging it in the street is absolutely insane. Perhaps not clinically but figuratively. As to my comment that you’d cut a b**** well, perhaps that was a bit of humor…or would you? You live in a neighborhood with a lot of dogs and dog walkers. Elimination functions happen and the vast majority of people deal with it appropriately. I’m sorry that the scofflaws make you feel that you need to police you garbage can so scrupulously.
November 5, 2015 at 11:11 pm #828791
mark47nParticipantBy the way, I will never be embarasssed to return home with my dog. But maybe I’ll let him poop in your begonias.

Ron SwansonMemberNext dog waste bag I see on the street is getting hucked straight up on the adjacent neighbor’s roof, here’s hoping it’s yours, val!

Not to mention, olfactive.

LindseyParticipantWhat I don’t get is the people who leave the dog poop in my garbage can think that it’s too much for them to walk a half block to the public garbage can nearby or to hold it until they get home, but it’s totally fine for me to have to store the poop in my garage for a week? I’d be 100% fine with it if they’d only throw it in my can before the collectors come. It’s throwing it in my empty can that drives me (and several of you!) crazy. Not all of us are home all day to monitor the curb and grab the cans as soon as they are empty. We put it out in the morning, and take it back in the garage less than six hours later. Sigh. There will always be selfish, dumb people in the world – Too bad those smart dogs get stuck with them.
November 6, 2015 at 12:51 am #828795
twobottlesParticipantI usually find dog poop in one of two places, either bagged, in my garbage can or un-bagged, in my parking strip (or, more correctly, in the city parking strip, which I’m responsible for maintaining).
I always prefer bagged, in my garbage can. If I were to ever see anyone putting it there, I’d likely thank them for not leaving it in the grass :-)
November 6, 2015 at 12:53 am #828796
mark47nParticipantRon and Two Bottles, Right on!
November 6, 2015 at 1:20 am #828797
wsea98116ParticipantBagged is certainly better than loose, no doubt!
Ron, you’d throw it on the roof? Oh, that’s as psychotic as a, uh… Tell him what kind of psychotic he is, Mark!
November 6, 2015 at 1:41 am #828798
mark47nParticipantNutty as a nice peanut sauce!
November 6, 2015 at 1:47 am #828799
wsea98116ParticipantDelicious
November 6, 2015 at 1:49 am #828800
mark47nParticipantAnd now we come to common ground: peanut sauce though I recommend you try a Pearson Nut Roll. They are available at fine convenience stores everywhere.
November 6, 2015 at 2:14 am #828801
JoBParticipantNovember 6, 2015 at 3:04 am #828802
NorthbyNorthWestParticipantCouple questions: 1) how many of you speak to people in public the way you yell on this site? 2) how many of you that actually do speak your mind like this in public get a positive response? 3) how many get puzzled looks like they think you are crazy? 4) how many actually get told they are crazy? 5) how many just get knocked out? I’m guessing most of you wouldn’t dare to speak face-to-face with another human like this, but for those brash enough to actually mouth off like this I’m curious if it actually turns out well for you in the real world?
November 6, 2015 at 3:39 am #828803
KBearParticipantThere are some in the no-poop-in-my-can contingent who actually do speak like that face-to-face. And there’s a really easy way to find out who they are. If you have a dog, that is.
