If you see it occurring simply talk to them and explain why you don't want them shitting in your yard.
I wouldn't expect to have a rational conversation with someone who lets their dog shit in another person's yard, but even if it were possible what would I say? "Excuse me, perhaps you didn't notice but your pooch just dropped a steamer next to my mailbox and I'd really appreciate it if you could take it with you."
I doubt I could string together that many words... it would probably come out as "Dude, what the fuck?!?!"
I was a Half-Life fanatic when Steam rolled out, and it was enough to break my addiction. I imagined an executive rambling on to an engineer "Quality control? Why bother, just patch it and force the customer to update before any of our games will run." Things are much better now, but back in the day Steam was half-baked.
For a while I was flaming them for reposting/. links instead of digging up their own material -- I guess my rants weren't ignored! Goold ole/. -- I don't have enough time to flame all the reposts here!
We never claimed to be perfect, just better than you!
Just kidding, though with my spongy American brain you'd hadly guess I could make a joke. Well, if I get of off my fat lazy American ass long enough... but I digress.
I really wanted to tell you how envious I am, as I doubt I will ever see enough of the world to claim America is the best, worst, most, or least of anything. If you are confident our system is among the most corrupt I'll take your word for it, but it makes me wonder why our population is growing instead of shrinking.
Maybe it's the food... "as long as we have the Golden Arches I'll settle for a psuedo-democracy" or "It's facism you can vote for, but damn this burger is juicy".
I wouldn't have modded you down but I can guess two reasons why you were.
#1 Your rant could be posted in any of the many posts where TFA get/.ed -- that why the term "slash-dotted" exists. It wasn't off-topic but it wasn't really on.
#2 Mirrors are available if you look around, there are even a few posted above.
Right on buddy, why use brain power when a machine can do the work for you! Pretty soon we'll have technology that reads websites and posts witty replies automatically so we won't be bothered with spelling, grammer, punctuation, or any of the other worthless garbage that requires thought.
Hey, what's this? A preview button. Aw hell, that means I'd have to read what I just typed.

This is the first biblical reference I've wanted to mod up, too bad I have no points.
Another great quote... too bad I don't spend mod points on ACs.
Too bad you posted as AC, I would have modded you up.
FINAL -- coming at the end : being the last in a series, process, or progress
Am I the only one who is upset at the repeated mis-use of the word "final"?
I would prefer music, but you're welcome to use crappy reality shows as a soundtrack.
Remember the "good old days" when MTV played music?
I'm waiting for v2.0, where Grace and Trip are replaced by Brandy and Raven.

You're just using the word "cromulent " to embiggen your image.
Get a set of 35" BFG Mud Terrain tires and an NP435 tranny, maybe throw a Detroit locker in the rear, and "Git 'er done!"

It's a perfectly cromulent sentence.
The word "cromulent" embiggens the smallest man.
