my goodness, there's little more depressing than a sim league discussion board with no simming activity.

DOGS ! That's all you have to talk for days now? The lowest intellectual pet animal known to mankind? Mindless trained robots running on remote control from their "masters" (IF they are trained at all and only BEFORE that usual "I swear, he's never bitten before" incident happens).

ok, i'm a cats guy, if only because they keep their dignity. Always. You will NEVER be the master of a cat, but you can try to form a friendship respecting each others life and habits. Now try that with a dog ...
 Cheers


btw, you know the MOST ANNOYING fact about dogs? Their masters themselves. Probably it's because I got little children, probably because i live in a real big city, but half a million people would do a sigh of relief if dogs are banned from the inner districts of this city. Why? First it's forbidden by law to walk around with dogs unleashed. A third of the dog owners give a shit about that (and take into account that about 75% of all dogs outweigh my 4yr old by far). Second, it is ordered by law that dog owners need to clean up the excremental depositions from their beloved animals, yet nobody gives a shit. The whole city, parks, sidewalks, it's like a giant dog toilet wherever you look or go.

Especially with children it's major depressing, as you can't let them run around anywhere it's even slightly green without being certain
a) they will return crying because a golden retriever (if you're lucky)/doberman(if you're not) tries to "just play with them"
b1) they will step into multiple dog excrementals (if you're lucky)
b2) being little children they will fall into dog excrementals (if you're not)

Most US guys here won't understand a bit of all these problems, but european cities are a lot smaller, streets are narrower and that whole law stuff exists on paper only. Dogs have a huge lobby in the legislation and among the police, nobody gets to pay any penalties for violating the law ... until some casualties happen and everyone is caught by complete surprise. Just depressing ...

I love to talk about dogs. Have them all my life. First retriver (solded to the police cause my brother and i was not very kind to her. We were just a 2 stupid kids), after that we had Scotisch sheparrd (Lessie). The last two are dobermans, and there is no way i would buy any other dog except doberman now. I'm just in love them. Unbelivable character.

I think even you understand how dumb this was and you don't belive in that.

That's a nonsense. Dogs can't be mindless and very few of them are trained. Most of them never had any kind of training in their life.

Dignity? Phew...the most selfish animal alive. How can you respect selfishness?

Quote
You will NEVER be the master of a cat,

Off course, cause she'll go anywhere where's food or a warm blanket. Regardless of their master. How can you value that the same as a dog who refuses to eat if his master abandons him? How can you NOT respect and admire that devotion?

Well i see where you're coming from but in the majority of cases masters are the one to blame for, not dogs. How they threat team? How they learn them to behave among people? Do they teach them to be good or vicious? Socialization process is the most crucial when you have a working dog like doberman, german sheparrd, pit bull (i'd ban them), rotwailler etc. If they have been locked and isolated during their first months of life, off course he'll be dangerous later and it could harm people. But then again, you, as a human, would be the same if someone kept you in a basement for the first 10 years of your life. Breeding and quality of the blood (parentage) is the most important.

Yes, as i said i understand. Being a father as you are i can uderstand you. I'm having troubles with parents while walking my dog all the time. Although, my dog is harmless for kids, i can still understand them.

ok, that brainless part was wildly overblown (we all know there's Lassie, the McGyver of dogs ...)
Wink

but

Let me repeat that, I SHOULD R-E-S-P-E-C-T BLIND DEVOTION ??? That coming from a man with a brain? Hey, I'm not in the military or live in a social system of devotion. I respect dignity as I said earlier. From a partner, from a friend and from a pet animal living in my family (mice, hamsters and alike thus don't count, these are short-time guests).

btw, the huge problem with that devotion thing is that way too many dog owners command that from their human partner too, in some way or another, and here it get's ugly ...

furthermore ...

... Although, my dog is harmless for kids, i can still understand them.
WOW, that's the bullshit i expect from a dog owner. Listen: NO DOG IS HARMLESS, NONE. A dog is a domesticated, hopefully trained animal AND THERE'S NO WAY TO GET RID OF IT'S INSTINCTS. Just not possible, unless you surgically manipulate it's brain. In a crisis situation under the wrong circumstances that animal will go back to it's instincts and do what'S in it's genetic programming.
Fortunately more and more dog owners (hey, we are speaking of <1% here, but it's a start) believe in this and react accordingly, using leashes and muzzles in public (or better whenever someone else is around). I couldn't care less if a dog bites it's master - which NEVER happens - or a family member - which OFTEN happens, mostly little children. They know (or should know) the risk and are willing to take it. Fine. But leave everyone else out of danger.

Quote
... very few of them are trained. Most of them never had any kind of training in their life ...
Exactly. And then they become weapons  - where nobody who wants a dog has to do any kind of education or prove he can handle a dog (i've seen little girls walking Dobermans on a leash that are double their weight. Ridiculous !!!). This is especially true for the fighting races like Pitbulls, Dobermans, Rottweilers and a few others. They should be banned altogether from inner cities.


I know there are som dog owners who are responisble, caring, act the right way from avoiding public littering to not putting someone else in danger. I feel bad for those as they are lost in the majority of irresponisble owners. But that's how life is ...
 Cool

My dog is a monster, 11 pounds

Erm...that's a monster?

When I was growing up (and my mom still has) a 120 lb rottweiler.

I was kidding.

1) Last time i checked devotion is a virtue. Not something bad. You don't expect a devotion from your life partner? Tom, poligamy is not allowed in Europe.  Smile
2) Doberman is not a fighting dog. He's a working dog. That's the big diference. Pit bulls are fighting dog. And they don't belong in the same breathe with dobermans.

With teeth? Why don't he uses his arms?

Good point. Your dog isn't looking so smart now, is he Jazz?

lol, dogs don't have thumbs, it would be kind tough to grip a goor knob and turn it, right?  I think using the teeth would be much easier.

Heh, sarcasm doesn't transmit well over the internets...  Sad

lol, I wasn't sure if you were kidding or not, but I had to defend my boy

haha, mill ended up in the pond on hole 4 today, he swimmed in the shitty lake to find the frisbee and he didn't even find it.  For those of you who never played frisbee golf, it's a damn fun game.

Not to interupt the members of Westminster, but I should be able to run the sim tonight.  I'll update the schedule later.
