Now, with liberals trying to control society through the dark side,
we're only happy when someone else suffers. How pathetic.

Quit living your life based on others, and work toward your own
success. And the success of others. Get out of the evil dark side, and
come to the light!

It's a bit sad if nothing better than this has ever happened in your
life. You need to get out more.

Lefties already control yours. We'd rather that not happen here.

It's sad to think that all dogs are descended from wolves (which

are,

Stop drinking.

Grow a brain, loser.


It's great that there's still demand for breeds which have respiratory
problems, according to all veterinarians. People just love that kind
of
face
on a dog, regardless of how the animal struggles through life.

That's a nice strawman. Now how about a match?

That's sick.

No, *you* are sick.


Not a strawman at all. A few breeds are useful, assuming people don't
try
and jam these animals into environments where they don't belong and will
never be happy.

You're stupid, as well as being sick. Yes, there are breeds that would
be
better off if they weren't. That's not an indictment of all dogs.

You continue your strawman by indicting every owner because a few are
abusers.
I bet you hate kids too.

Box pugs with respiratory problems? It's a widely known fact, and yet
people
create demand for them. Why? Because it's an affectation. They like that
kind of a face on a dog. May as well find the gene which causes certain
childhood cancers and select for it, just because it intrigues you.

Irrelevant. You are indeed an idiot.


You think it's irrelevant?

Certainly. You can't read, or think, though.

Pugs were just one example of many breeds which
are health wrecks. What's the big & dumb, but popular average family dog -
is it the golden retriever that's prone to hip problems, and yet every
putz
with a lawnmower and 2.3 kids thinks they should have one?

Irrelevant.

That's not abuse. It's just plain dumb, like having a border collie in an
apartment. Or perpetuating the existence of pugs, which have no useful
reason to exist except as on oddity for morons to show off in the park.

More strawman nonsense.


You apparently don't understand the meaning of "selecting for particular
genetic traits". That's too bad.

I see your reading comprehension hasn't improved. Keep trying though, someone
may take pity on you and promote you out of the first grade, not that you
merit it.

OK. Maybe my server dropped a message. Go find the text, typed earlier by
YOU, which you think explains what I missed. Copy that text into your next
response. Or just retype the idea.

I have a chihuahua.

Why?

You take them to bed with you to warm your feet. That's what they
were bred for :-)

Actually, I agree. We've managed to create all types of disorders like
teeth that rot quickly, knees and hips that don't work correctly and
bowels that don't function properly. Way too much inbreeded goes on too.
It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

I still love my inbreed mutts though. Maybe even more because of it.
Those dogs genuinely love us unconditionally.

'Arrested adolescence' is the term, if I understand correctly.
Domesticated dogs are like young teenagers. Feral dogs aren't bad, they
just managed to grow up and learn to live on their own (or with their
own packs, actually).

It's called "schadenfreude" - "epicaricacy" in English.
