I don’t have a dog in this fight (snerk) , but I have to agree with what elbows and others have mentioned in this thread and your dog thread. You’ve shown absolutely zero motivation to improve yourself, to accomplish something tangible, or to have anything resembling an adult relationship.
What are your goals in life? Do you have any desires beyond sitting around playing video games for hours on end? You’ve mentioned having some vague hope that to eventually find a girlfriend, “if it happens”. Were you just hoping to order a mail-order bride or something? Your cavalier attitude for the feelings and care of a potential pet reveals a severe lack of empathy and indicates profound immaturity. Living at home, coddled by Mommy and Daddy only drives you further into this mindset.
Why not go back to school or learn a trade and improve your station in life? I cannot imagine a less rewarding lifestyle than the one you so desperately cling to. Get out and enjoy the world. There’s more to it beyond what is shown on a computer screen.
My standards are the only important thing here. Mine. No one else’s.
YogSothoth is a horrible person who goes out of his way to torture newborn puppies with hot coat hangers. And whacks it all day to tauren porn. And his sister’s a whore who eats fetuses. And poses for tauren porn. Ia!
Jumped-up jeebus in a sailor costume, is there ever a steaming load of shrill, self-righteous, my-way-or-the-highway, fuck-you-if-you-don’t-agree-with-me, ever-so-sensitive horseshit in this thread.
Personally, I think it’s wrong to yell at an older dog for snapping, but I’m not going to call Guin a bad person for doing so. I find it wrong to make sweeping generalizations based in a Western anglo cultural viewpoint about someone’s “delusions,” but I ain’t gonna jump elbows’ shit for it.
And yet, we’re so goddamned convinced that we’re the best people that we have to prove it by being horrible people. Nice.
-andros, whose opinions on proper dog ownership are better than any of yours-
ER, um, I don’t know who you think I am but I have never so much as alluded to any such thing. In fact I have dated someone who lived at home still, while at uni. So I don’t know what you’re on about.
I’m hiding deep seated issues? Plulease, you’re the one going off because apparently, I hit a nerve with my conjecture.
How dare I draw comparisons between your lack of maturity, on the dog front, and your stunted personal growth! The nerve.
You’re accusing me of Daddy issue? One of us has issues, it’s true, but it ain’t the one living in the real world as a full adult.
As I said, enjoy your delusions. And don’t get so upset, just a couple more teenage years, under your belt and it will all, just slide right of your back!
Eh, it can be, but when this fool talks about playing video games all day and not leaving because it would just mean more bills, I have to wonder about his motivations. My girlfriend’s Chinese, and she had a few Chinese friends who lived at home into their 30s who basically used their cultural norms (they were, if it matters, mostly American-born and some spoke only English) as an excuse to have a full-time maid and cook and not have to be self-sufficient.
I think the very quick check on the living with your parents thing is: is it primarily for their benefit or yours? If the former, you’re a grownup. If the latter, you’re an arrested adolescent who needs to be working on that.
Actually the OP in the other thread said that the dog wouldn’t be an inside dog, as in inside all the time except to go potty and what not. He also said he’s “mostly in it for the petting and belly rubs” which I doubt he’ll go outside to do, and noted that he and his sister were too young to properly care for a prior dog but wanted to make sure to do so this time so it could be inside.
40+ years of breeding, raising, training and exhibiting dogs; I have a good grasp of what dogs are. I really think that some people are reading way too much into that post.
This part I have no idea about. I didn’t read the whole other thread because of how folks were over reacting, and I don’t think I’ve seen any threads by this OP before, so I don’t know if he is trolling or not.
So I can claim they lack self-respect, the issue upthread. I don’t remember saying legislation needs to be passed to get these sponges out on their own or anything. Just nice to know who to steer clear of when I want to deal with adults.
Well, sure. We all want to steer clear of those who do not share our beliefs. By “adults” I assume you mean “those who do the things I think adults do,” yes?
And, having finished reading the rest of this thread, I’d like to ask that those of you whose only dog experience is having a couple/few for pets please quit giving out advice and making statements on the subject. So many of you are so wrong, that it’s a wonder any of you have nice pets.
At least I am able to understand what I read (i.e. I didn’t say at all that I thought this was a great situation for a dog, just not an abusive one), and I’m quite capable of seeing that things that I don’t feel are ideal are still OK. I’m also capable of discussing a difference of opinion without dragging emotion into it and I recognize that a difference of opinion doesn’t mean the other person is any of the adjectives you like to use. You on the other hand cannot seem to grasp any of this.
I don’t have any for sale. Neither do I live in China.
So one social misfit who is incapable of managing the responsibilities expected of a normal adult is defending another misfit who is incapable of managing the responsibilities expected of an adult.
Who said anything about steering clear of people with different beliefs? I said - and for fuck’s sake, it’s right there - “Just nice to know who to steer clear of when I want to deal with adults.” Hell, it might be amusing to play video games with them for a few hours while their mom cleans up our messes and cooks us food, but that’s generally the relationship people have with their parents when they’re children. I can see the appeal of living like a kid now and then. But yeah - being a leech I generally associate with immaturity. So there’s the ethnocentric gotcha! you were going for.
That’s right. Because in a topic about dogs, you can discern the secret motivations behind my living conditions. Psychics like you need to work for the police and solve crimes, not worry about the lifestyles of internet strangers! Its a waste of your talents to be using them for self-aggrandizing insults on message boards when real life crimes could be solved! But i guess since the dog thing is a no go, you have to find something to extend this pit thread huh? :dubious:
My goal in life is to abuse dogs and talk about them on the internet. I’m getting a pretty good start aren’t I? Wait until we actually get the dog. I don’t know if its ok on this message board, but I’d like to post abusive pictures of me and my dog. I already have a set dedicated to dangling him out of high places by his paws
Why not quit being a dick and do something with your life? I hear the title of cat abuser is still vacant
Hello miss death wish. You didn’t post much after our initial run-in. I hoped you’d come back and wish death on a few more things. I have a neighbor I don’t like, there’s this kid from 3rd grade who I’m sure is still alive somewhere, and don’t forget that dog I’m abusing is better off dead than living with us
I’m just going to come right out and say it: I’m going to needle you about this subject for as long as this thread is open. I want to see how much you are willing to debase the argument by continuing to respond knowing that it is what I’m trying to do
You’ve brought up the topic of adults living with their parents before. I only noticed it because it seemed like such a weird attack out of left field that I took notice. Then I noticed you making that argument again in a different topic. Who but the very molested have this amount of personal animosity towards their parents that by 18 they are screaming to leave? But don’t worry about me, if anyone in my family’s doing the molesting, its me. That’s why I live with my parents, because they can’t get enough of me. Soon dog too, I hear if you put peanut butter on anything, a dog will lick it, so a lot of possibilities there
Speaking seriously for a second, it doesn’t matter. Different cultures have different living arrangements. There simply isn’t a pressing reason for me or my sister to leave. Our jobs are close to home, so was school, and we never had to get that extra expense of getting a 2nd place.
And people act like playing video games are the devil’s hobby. You all sound like a bunch of Amish, afraid of this newfangled “electricity” thing. Substitute video games with any hobby, like sports, or model building, stamp collecting, crossword puzzles, etc. and you’ll see how silly it is to take a few comments I made in a thread where everyone and their abused dog is attacking me seriously. But I’m secure in my gaming, I really don’t care if any of you think I’m doing it enough. Half of you probably drink yourselves to a stupor or smoke the life out of you and your families on a regular basis. My hobby is fun, not costly, and keeps me from abusing pets
Here’s a quick rundown of my motivations. I don’t want a dog, my sister does, and so I don’t feel that I should or need to turn my life upside down for it. I’m not the one getting a pet. In the past, we’ve had a dog, but she lived outdoors, and she was fine. She bit in certain situations, but that’s only because we didn’t train her, and it was rare enough that we didn’t see the need to fix it. My comment on the belly rubs means that I will play with the dog, enjoy it as a pet and companion, but I am not going to abandon all other forms of entertainment and take up caring for this, and again its not my dog, animal full time. I told my sister that I wouldn’t help her with it, but I will play with the dog sometimes, therefore she has to be sure that she’s ready to take care of a dog without help. This dog won’t be an inside dog because of the parents, and because none of us think there is anything wrong with having an outside dog, to the protestations of many.
That depends on what you mean by trolling. When I got death threats/wishes and howls of ANIMAL ABUSER for something innocuous as making the dog live outside, and working for most of the day so that we can’t play with it, it bugs me. So I started to half goad them on, making jokes about abusing the dog for fun. I’m not going to do it of course, I’m not that petty, but the hate kept piling on, so I said fuck it and started to be serious with only those, such as yourself and saje, who seem to have a head on your shoulders and make serious comments or suggestions, and play with others because they are making asinine comments. I don’t like, nor do I want, to make comments to elbows like I did above, but fuck all if her irrationality is making it hard. I’d apologize, but frankly right now she can get kidnapped by aliens and I wouldn’t give a damn, her sanctimonious crap wears thin, along with miss elizabeth, who is probably nice when I’m not abusing dogs but turns into the Michael Vick to dog abusers. So there’s a bit of trolling (who takes one seriously when he says he’s going to kick a dog for every negative comment, huh?) but I’m trying to have a bit of fun while shit is being piled on me. Which I will continue to do, because some people have their heads so far up their asses they’re like abused dogs looking for scraps of food that I’m obviously not going to give them
So yeah, I’m gonna make sure the dog we get is abused real good. For every post in this and the other thread that’s insulting, I’m gonna make sure the dog has to stay outside in the freezing LA weather for an entire day. Oh, and don’t forget, since I live at home, I need to abuse my parents too.
