8. I believe the thread is a satirical comment
on the rape threads in GD. This thread was moved by the mods into the Lounge.

:sarcasm:

Violence towards innocent creatures is not amusing

13. Indeed
Its omission has certainly confused matters.

30. I know. I think all kinds of taboo things are funny, but
jokes about hurting animals are never, ever funny to me. And, I seriously am one of those people who will laugh at almost any kind of humor at anyone's expense or at my own expense. But animal abuse "jokes" leave me completley cold.

Just trying to keep with the theme of the week here on DU.
Do rich men deserve to be mugged?

Do strippers deserve to be raped?

Sorry for being smarmy, but the whole concept of someone "deserving" bodily harm being done to them just because of who they are strikes me as pretty absurd. The answer seems to me to be pretty obvious, but the questions still draw out the darker element on DU.

3. People only kick little yip yips because
they're too chickenshit to kick German Shepherds.... paraphrased from a Molly Ivins quote :evilgrin:

17. Only when they bite.
Our neighbor had a vicious lhasa apso. They eventually got it put down when it attacked their daughter unprovoked and required her face to get stitched up.

This dog was then replaced with a retarded beagle that attacked our German Shepherd twice. Fortunately, for the beagle, our shepherd used to chew on rocks as a puppy so her teeth were all filed down. She picked the beagle up and didn't want to put him back down but didn't break the skin. A week later, the beagle attacked our Shepherd again. He survived both times without major injury. Eventually, the son moved out and took the beagle with him.

Then they got a Yorkie named Mini. Mini is an okay dog. She's an escape artist, but a nice dog and she doesn't yip too much. One time, a stranger accused me of trying to steal her. I saw her running a block away, so I stopped the car, grabbed her and put her in the car. I finally convinced the person that I was a neighbor of the owner and not a dog thief.

25. Sounds to me like the family was the problem and not the dogs.
The dogs probably didn't get enough exercise.

31. I blame the dogs.
We were really good friends with them. They took their dogs on several walks a day. The lhasa was adopted as an adult and they didn't know the background. It was crazy from day one. The beagle was really good with people, but had no clue that he shouldn't pick on big dogs.

18. Just as I thought...look at all the "You deserve to be kicked" posts!
Edited on Wed Apr-19-06 09:22 AM by Atman
We preach non-violence here all day long. Until someone posts something that offends us, then we're ready to line up for the stonings.

:eyes:

(ON EDIT) - Perhaps if this had stayed in GD where it was originally posted, more people would have understood the sarcasm. I really didn't feel the need to have to post a sarcasm smiley...seems pretty obvious to me. Maybe some of you need to get out of the lounge more often! Love you more than my folks! :hi:

28. they didn't say they would actually kick him.
anyone that hurts a defenseless, tiny dog deserves - in the grand karmic scheme of things - to be visited by a reciprocal kick.

22. oh hell no.
no you di'in threaten little yippy dogs!

:grr:




;)
:bounce:

As the proud protector of three little yippy dogs, I must say that they're likely too quick for you. Not mention, two of them jump pretty high and would likely nip you in a very uncomfortable place.

"Deserve's got nuthin' to do with it."
