Would you give out to an old person.

Just to clarify, I also feel that leaving crap on a public street without cleaning it is socially irresponsible and downright gimpy. I own 2 dogs and would never contemplate doing it. However, thats my opinion, and I dont believe it gives me a God given right (or a state given right) to go around approaching strangers in the street and telling them how I feel on the subject and expecting them to do as I say. In this case, particularly with an elderly woman, whether she be a cnut or not.

The reason I made the comparison to different anti social categories is NOT because I am indicating that anyone is a coward (as I've already said, I have no idea who the fook any of you people are, and I am not dull enough to make presumptions about people I dont know) but to highlight the fact that if we are going to have a moral crusade and a home made lynch mob going around upholding our virtuous social etiquettes, then perhaps we could put that lynch mob to better use than trying to make old people clean up dog crap. If I saw serious anti social behaviour like that I mentioned earlier taking place, to be brutally honest, unless someone was in danger and needed help, I would NOT personally become involved, i would call the cops and allow them to deal with it because that is the proper course of action.

Likewise, if I saw someone such as an old lady allowing a dog to poo on the street, I still would NOT get involved because I do not believe I have any right to approach a complete stranger and expect them to do as I say, and THEN to bitch about it when they dont. If I have a problem with it, I'll take it up through the proper channels such as the local town council or the department of health/environment (not sure who looks after dog crap issues) because that also is the correct course of action.

And as for the comment that its people like me who have this country the way it is, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. So its my fault that old peoples dogs **** on the path? Or is it perhaps my fault also that crime is so high and the health service sucks? Complaints made in the proper context can be constructive and conducive to a better society being provided to us all, but expecting someone you dont know to do as you say just simply because you feel so strongly on the matter is downright laughable. Dog scutter left on the path CAN be a health hazard as another poster rightly said, it could be tracked into a creche and cause health problems. But really, is it that much of an issue that in the greater context of things it takes precendence over all the other seriously dangerous anti social behaviour taking place in Ireland today? I just think its a matter of context really, and in this case, we're talking about an old woman and a single piece of dogsh*t, not, lets say, 350 scumbags starting a riot in O Connell street and trashing the city centre.
I wonder if she is telling all her pals in Bingo about the complete lack of respect these days as young people go around trying to enforce their opinions on the elderly. (kids had respect for the elderly in my day etc, etc)
And apologies for dragging it off topic. I do agree that many old people can be a beesting in the nads. I've had my own occasions to call them nasty things under my breath, but meh, what can you do, old people are pretty much the untouchables of society. (bastards). If they do get on my nerves I take solace in the fact that I'm off home for a steak and onions while they're off home for a bowl of pre moistened pre chewed bread.
