I really like the vest.
See this thong it’s…
um nevermind,
No I haven’t seen your leopard seal, why?
Does your city have a lease law?
If so, any damage to your car when hit by an unleased dog is the responsiblity of the dog’s owner.
Yes, you can hit the dog and then sue the owner for damages.
I am not a lawyer but I play one on the Internet.
I don’t know about you, but animals aren’t typically leased where I’m from. Usually, their people own them outright.

You should quit it because you’re not good at it.
I bet the doghouse is rented on a month-by-month basis.
Well its a honda ridgeline and the dog wasn’t all that big. Prolly would not have been more than a very perceptible bump as a P245/65 R17 rolled effortlessly over it.
Dogs can recieve darwin awards too
Dude, are you really this stupid? Or do you just play an idiot on the internet?
I really hope we won’t have to wait until winter before you chill the fuck out, askeptic.
WTF? I am not the one talking about killing and maiming dogs. Besides, my comment was not exactly “over the top” by pit standards, I didn’t post in all caps or anything.
Whats your problem, got a thing for drach?
I don’t get where you’re coming from either, askeptic. drachillix didn’t say she was going to drive into the guy’s yard and run over his dog tied up in it; just that she might not swerve so hard to miss a dog running loose down the street next time, since the owner doesn’t seem to think he has any responsibility in keeping his pet alive.

I bet that guy knows what an unsafe speed in his residential area looks like a lot better than the OP does.

If it’s a residential area, that’s means that there’s KIDS around. Not just dogs.

“I’ll have a chat with HIM when HE gets in, and then I’ll write a post about YOU on an anonymous message board.” Well played, brave soul.
This actually happened to me. My dog escaped by digging a hole under the fence and was roaming the neighborhood (unbeknownst to me) she chased a car and was hit (the owner of the car claims that she lept at the car and he had an eye witness). There was a miniscule dent in the right rear fender. (this was a medium sized dog. 18" tall at the shoulder and less than 40 lbs iirc)
He tried to get me to pay a couple thousand dollars in damages. When we refused he took us to court. My homeowners insurance provided us with a lawyer and he ended up winning his suit and getting a couple hundred dollars (my insurance company’s estimate) to fix his precious car.
The dog was unhurt except for a tiny scratch on her nose.
My comment was specifically addressed to the sentiment expressed in the text I quoted in my post. I just thought it was stupid to suggest that dogs can get darwin awards. The darwin awards are meant to hi-light PEOPLE who do stupid things that get them killed. The tongue in cheek award is to THANK idiots for removing themselves from OUR (human) gene pool.
I thought attributing fault or stupidity on the part of the dog was rediculous. Dogs run around they do not understand things like traffic and right of way. It is the owners responsibility to keep control of the dog.
I did not think any of this was controversial and did not think it needed explaining hence my brief comment.
I did not attack drach or threaten to commit violence or imply he was evil. I posted the specific comment to which I took exception and expressed my belief that it was stupid comment.
If you or brian or anyone disagree and would like to engage in a discussion of whether the comment was stupid or whether dogs can in fact recieve darwin awards I am open to that.
I was travelling 20% lower than posted speed limits, so apparently me, the state of California, and the city of Fresno, share the opinion that your a dumbass.
Well considering this actually took place about 10am on a weekday, kids playing on residential streets are pretty rare. I also would have applied much more effort at avoiding a child. Visibility was excellent, thats why I had plenty of time to drift around the dog out in the street.
Well he expected his anonymous complaint to result in discipline for a real world employee of my business, I bitch about him on the net a little.
Who’s the bigger prick, me or the guy who tried to get someone fired over his own failure to control their pets. This is exactly the kind of shit that gets people in trouble all the time when someone has a stick up their ass and tried to take it out on someones job because its the only power the exert in the world is to exploit their customer status, or in this case maybe someday potential customer if he even actually owns a computer, or has any friends to complain about me to.
Having worked in management before dealing with tons of customers including taking complaints I am very good at identifying what a griping customer wants to hear…I made him happy. Opening a direct argument with him would have had no benefit for anyone. If I do something wrong that upsets one of my customers I have no problem accepting responsibility and dealing with it. Random person off the street gets back what they put into it, a polite phone call.
I gathered that.
Oh and in the interest of full disclosure, I have no problem with what drach did. Either in how he responded at the time of the incident or how he responded to the dipshit dog owner or posting the story here.
I can’t stand irresponsible pet owners, they make life hard on the rest of us. People should keep their dogs out of the street. Drach should not have to endanger his life or someone elses by swerving to avoid the dog. If he was driving safely and the dog ran out and he hit it its the owners fault not drach’s.
I was knee jerkingly reacting to what I thought was a stupid attempt to attribute fault to the dog. My bad, I do know better than to go off half cocked, but I am a dumb ass and do it anyway sometimes.
So, in answer to your question Brian, no you don’t have to wait till winter. I will be sitting over here in the corner eating a crow sandwich and chanting “Read whole thread before posting” over and over to myself.
Why do so many people seem to hate the pit yet read and respond to pittings anyway? Don’t you have some Buffy fanfic to write or something?
