Whew. This doesn’t include me, so my dogs and I can rest easy.
Given the choice between putting my dog to sleep or putting BZ00000 down, guess who I choose.At least when the dog speaks to hear his own voice,the dog makes sense.
Um.
Yeah.
Last time I supported a troll [sub]Silo. Please don’t stone me** I was proved wrong. Really wrong.
BZ00000, however, does bring up a debatable point which may have received a more interesting discussion had it been started in GD.
I don’t hunt, I don’t own cows, I don’t need a guard, I don’t need to beat down the badgers. Why do I want a dog?
Rowwrff?
Because dogs are companion animals for humans, and have been for a number of years?
Because dogs sometimes prove to be lifesavers in event of fire?
Because you can train the dog to get the newspaper off the lawn on those Sunday mornings you don’t want to get dressed?
Because it gets cold on winter nights? (Down, pervs.)
You might not need a purebred dog (but then, I think very few people need purebred anythings. Come on. people are hardly purebred) but I can think of a number of reasons for having a dog that isn’t a “working” dog.
If my parents didn’t own dogs, my father’s heart attack would have been fatal.
If I owned a dog, I’d get a lot more exercise.
And guess what? Love is a plenty good reason as far as I’m concerned.
They’ll treat you real respectable-like!
If I hadn’t taken both of my dogs in, they’d be dead.
It’s a responsibility I take seriously.
BeZero, however, I think I’ll take frivolously.
Unless you have a real need for opposable thumbs, this doesn’t include you are a lonely empty person and want to buy attention by posting half-illiterate crap, you should go back to compulsive masturbating with prawns or you should be taught.
(I know no one’s really going to learn anything, but since we’re throwing around pointless threats here…)
[tosses BZOOOO a kibble and/or Bit]
BZOOOOO- you going to explain any of this, maybe?
Isn’t this the same person who thought that time travel was possible because of something he saw in Superman??
My dog says hi, and predicts the eventual demise of your existence @ the SDMB.

My dogs. Can’t say that there’s a good reason that I got them, but I can’t live without them. If you’re going to shoot them, you’re going to have to shoot me first.
Please people - tone down the funniness - I’m at work and my boss gets suspicious if I keep laughing.
I don’t “own” my dog or my cats. They are part of my family.
So what’s the deal with the OP anyway? I don’t get it.
I don’t get it.
What a stupid topic. Geezus.
Oh and don’t forget having children. I mean if you adopt a child for any amount of money, you “own” the child and then you should be shot or have your child euthanized because you suck.
Great topic, asshole.
I’m currently taking in all the stray dogs I can. Once I reach a million or so I’m going to start training them to run counter to the earth’s rotation. I figure if I get enough, and they do it long enough, they will start to reverse the spin. After that it’s only a matter of time before they’re going fast enough to go back in time, and then I can FINALLY ask out that cute girl in my grade 10 class.
See? There’s a perfectly good use for a dog! I’m surprised you didn’t think of it first.
Because they’re friendly.
Because they’re cute.
Because they’re always glad to see you. (the most obvious reason)
Because being responsible for another living thing gives me the warm fuzzies. (the best reason, IMHO)
Because they (mostly) come when called.
BZ00000, you’re a complete tool.
Have a nice day. 
Wait a minute; ohmigosh he’s RIGHT!
We really DON’T need dogs! And for that matter, we don’t need friends, either! Or music! Or wine! Or poetry! Or college football! Or warm pajamas and down comforters on cold winter nights! Or hair conditioner! Or flowers! Or croissants and Vivaldi and the NY Times crossword on sunny Sunday mornings!
My God, we don’t need ANY of this stuff! Let’s get rid of all of this bullshit RIGHT NOW and get back to what really matters, which is keeping our lives stripped down to a grim, cheerless subsistence that makes death seem a rollicking party!
Ys truly,
Jackelope and his pal
BeZero, you’re a moron. First that Superman nonsense, then the time travel fiasco, and now this stupidity.
:rolleyes:
What if Im a lonely person and I want to have a relationship with another person, should I be shot too? I buy my people love with sexual favors…
