dog owners
gords:
All car drivers should be made to ride a bicycle on the roads for a year.
All car drivers should be made to ride a motorbike for a year before they can drive a car.
All new drivers should be restricted to 800 c.c. or less for the first 2 years.
Driving along with music blaring, windows down, leaning forward out of your seat (why???) and being a general [ed: naughty] should be banned or an escape clause for the insurance companies.
Oh yes, I nearly forgot, everyone should be made to ride a horse at least once a month.
Maybe then ... everyone would know and appreciate how everyone else feels :wink:
gords:
Ooh - just thought of another one ... community service should include going round the streets picking up discarded dog poo and chasing cats out of gardens (unless they can prove it's actually their garden) :lol: :lol:
Tyke:
Agree with your comments regarding the motorcycle bit Gord - not so sure about the push bike thing though, I would hate to be tarred with my own brush :lol:
There is a need for rules and in some cases bans, but it's the level of intolerance and downright irresponsibility shown by some groups that really gets my back up.
Dog mess on the streets though is deffo being anti-social in the highest order. Dog owners really do have a responsibility towards the cleanliness of our environment. If it were not for us wanting to keep dogs, or for that matter cats and horses, then it is very unlikly that these animals would share the same space as us in the first place.
Live and let live, understand and respect your environment. I'm sure that all our lives would be so much richer for it.

Fair enough - till your cat comes in my garden for a crap!
Then my dog don't quite see things that way :D
Had a problem with an irresponsible dog owner letting her little rat leave a pile outside my front door every morning. Told her I'd go do the same for her and the problem stopped.
Fact is we just lost a local byway to lazy dog owners too idle to walk off a wide, shale track and use the local bridelways and footpaths. Sad innit?
Baby_Rhino:
there are rude people in every group...
im sure some people here are good cyclists (ie not jumping red lights etc) but my general view is that they are a pain unless they stick to cycle lanes.
i suspect some people have lovely cats here too... but when i moved into my last house the garden was full of cat mess as people dont train their cats to use litter trays anymore.
Its up to the individual. Just like how people accuse 4x4s of ripping up fields and tracks, whereas a lot of the people on this forum will follow the GLASS guidelines and go out in responsible groups and stick to the tracks they are allowed to.
As for my horse? She had better insurance than my car! :wink:
