Oh, jesus. **ducati** is police.

Please consider taking your pup in for an examination. He may have some internal injuries. Keep an eye out for vomiting and blood in his poops, too. Just in case.

Word.

Ducatti, turn in your guns, transfer to a desk job if this has not already been done, and most importantly, seek counselling, for you are a dangerous nutter.

She slowed before she got to him, indicating she was trying to stop – where do you get doing it on purpose from that? It sounds like she wanted to avoid him but he was too fast and that she stopped when she realized she’d hit him but may have been freaked out by you screaming at her.

I’m sorry your dog got hit by a car. I’m sorrier that the dogs weren’t properly restrained in the first place. I’m sorriest that you seem to have no qualms about putting your life at risk.

In the past 4 years, I’ve taken \*two \*work comp claims for waitresses who tried to chase down people who stiffed them, and got run down by their cars. Some people just have absolutely no sense.

No real helpful comments about the stuff that has already been posted by everybody.

Although some of the cute one liners were pretty good.

I wonder why I am the only one to comment so far on this, the most important & telling line in the post applicable to manny mannies peoples, I bet to more than one who have already posted here-in…

The child in not getting skin grafts why?  
The child was not trained why? ( Dr. Spock maybe ??? )  
The child is … enough to think they would live after getting into the security system???

I was not that harsh a parent & even my grand kids who are never around much, of a different time & most likely a somewhat different upbringing, ( different state & all ) , are not that … or …

Thunked of another one: Why chase on a dead end street? Just park crossways & roll the camera & prowl at your leisure. Under NO circumstance would I ever forget I lived on a dead end street. No reason ever… Well, maybe I’m dead but I still would not have forgotten right up to that time…

Maybe it is just me but since I learn from the good, bad, smart, stupid, ignorant ( totally different from stupid ) I try not to go back & unlearn stuff when later someone does or says a stupid thing. Do you all do that about everything Eisenstein said just because he said & did some really stupid stuff later?

As to this particular thread, I am only interested in info about my two concerns, the child and the dead end street.

You all have fun with the rest…

I hope you do not kill someone else first, and I hope that you do not kill yourself. Get professional help, and get it immediately.

Ducatti, what is the complete list of firearms that you own and how many in total do you own? How many of your firearms are fully automatic? How many of your firearms are semi-automatic? How many of your firearms have clips that hold more than half a dozen bullets? Do you still have the following?

M-249  
BAR  
Ruger 10/22  
American 180  
M-16  
MP-5  
HK 91  
94  
FN-FAL  
Uzis  
several SBRs  
a couple of SBSs  
Russian DPM

uhh, I’m not sure I understand this. Are you asking why **Ducati** did not beat the skin off his child (at least figuratively) because she watched a video on the VHS security system?

I’m also confused about the ellipses (…). Are there taboo words that are supposed to go in those places?

My guess is that the child was not severely punished because **Ducati** is not normally a mean person, and that daddy’s video system is a household standing joke. That the system has been in place most of the child’s life for no apparent reason, and that her friends think it’s funny strange.

To punish the kid would be about like punishing a kid in the 1970’s for eating some protein bars from the 1950’s fallout shelter in the backyard. Yeah, maintaining the fallout shelter could save the family’s life, but it probably not worth abusing the kid about.

You don’t need more cameras, you need a locking cabinet with some ventilation. Lock either the VCR or the teenager inside the cabinet.

::: sigh :::: The ( … periods ) Never knew they weren’t really periods or dots. is because I don’t call other peoples names out loud , not unlike others in the thread…

Yeah, she needed her ass whipped unless it is a joke that ducati knows about but if they were told to stray out, candy bar or security system, either bad parenting or kids that listen people who do not suffer the results of their interference. Kid was way wrong at at the worst possible time because the needed footage was lost. You miss that part?

You can say anything you want on a message board. Even non taboo words can have bad consequences IRL so just spouting off can be a bad habit but you all seem to like to do so so go for it…

I’m not really hard to understand, willfulness aside…

Fun stuff, especially the stupid parts…

Word.

We’re having a problem in my neighbourhood with people not obeying the local laws with their dogs, and we’re having a city wide problem with dogs biting people. I can only guess how many of those dogs that are running loose and hurting people started with a dog owner who didn’t do what he was supposed to do and keep his dogs in the yard. I walk everywhere with a canister of dog spray on my belt because of dog owners like **ducati**.
