One of lifes mysteries resolved....

My first new topic posting and it's a load of sh1t:
In this politically correct world gone mad I've always wondered why there's so many dog turds littering the streets. With everyone seemingly caring about the environment and shouting as soon as a mobile transmitter mast is put up next to a school why do so many otherwise caring adults let their dogs crap all other the pavements and leave it there? Today I finally realised the sort of people who can't be arsed to clean up after their dogs, and it was quite a shocker. It's not chavvy owners who are too 'ard to carry a plastic bag full of turds in their pockets and it's not even kids - it's disabled people! I saw an owner waiting while her bundle of fur deposited a steaming load on the path, and then just put her motorised wheelchair into gear and drive off! I suppose because she was disabled she couldn't get out of her wheelchair to get low enough to scoop but that's not the point is it! If you can't clean up after your dog you shouldn't have a friggin dog! At least guide dogs are trained to crap in a specially marked out corner of their owners garden before they are allowed out on the streets, but this woman and her dog just take the (arse) biscuits...
I can only see the turd situation getting worse as well - watching Scooby Doo with my son I realised that I had NEVER seen Shaggy with a pooperscooper - what sort of example is this setting our kids?
I hate this time of year, as once the clocks go back I suffer more stress getting home from work that on the journey in. As I walk to work (it's only a mile away) on the way in I have to make a mental note of where all the dog turds are on the pavement, as I sure as hell won't see them on the way home in the dark! It's like a perverse game of battleships trying to calculate where the next 'bomb is'. And you drivers thought you had it bad coz of the tailgaters and tw@ts that don't know what an indicator is for.
Another relevation I discovered today (courtesy of a work colleague) was why you don't see as many white dog turds anymore - apparantly dogs aren't given bones as much as they used to be, and it was this overdose of calcium in the 'good ol days' that changed the colour. When my brother was younger and liked to pretend to be superman I once got him to crush a white dog turd in his hand saying that if he could crush the "white pebble" he must have superman powers. Ah, good times...
