  1. Re:This is just sad on two levels on University to Evict Man 13 Years After Graduation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been in bad dorms and good dorms.

    Dorms with full kitchens/baths that make cheaper apartments look like doll houses for a fraction of the price.

    Then I've been in bare basic dorms that are just claustrophobic places to sleep, and the guy down the hall is trashed 24/7 and always too drunk to clean up his vomit.

    Every school and dorm building have different standards. *shrug*

    You can train her to not eat her own poop.

    Reason #1: The dog food your feeding her does not have enough nutrients in it that she needs.
    Solution: Change to a better dog food and see if she stops.

    Reason #2: She thinks her poop "tastes good" or it was a learned behavior from another dog.
    Solution: Clean it up every time she poops before she has a chance to eat it.

    Complication with #2: This method is complicated by the fact you have multiple dogs, I'd try training her to stay away from the poop and rewarding her when she does so. You do not want this behavior spreading to the other dogs.

    Reason #3: Territorial battle.
    Solution:If she's just eating her own you can semi-rule this out but still check to make sure that all the dogs socialize properly else introduce the two in a non-threatening area with plenty of rewards for good behavior, when bad separate and re-introduce again rewarding the good behavior.

    All of these are just as Easy or easier then cleaning her mouth when you want to play, or that embarrassing surprise when she licks a guest and she has poo on her tongue.

    But "She's just eating a bit of poop it wont hurt her." Wrong, this behavior greatly increases her chances of tapeworm, heart worm and about a dozen other life threatening illnesses. If you care about your pet then take care of her.

  3. Which is more ethical? on Indonesians Want To Microchip AIDS Patients · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Prior to the 1950s an epidemic to the magnitude of AIDS would have had those infected with it quarantined and provided with free medical care. That is free drugs, and a clean sterile environment so they could live as pain-free as possible.

    Today we let them go about their business and charge them extravagant rates for medications which is beyond the ability of many to pay.
