HA!

Real clever and articulate response to my pointing out how baseless your “responses “ were.

[Immerito]

There’s a difference between a race and a fight. A greyhound race and a horse race are comparable.

A dog fight and a horse race are not.

[Immerito]

You’re not even comparing apples to oranges. You’re comparing apples to pianos.

That’s generally a sign that you haven’t thought through your argument.

[Immerito]

The horses are not raced until the losers all drop dead on the track.

In a dog fight, the losers are killed.

[Immerito]

“Real men” like that need to be taught that Real Men don’t treat anything inhumanely. They may kill animals for food, but they do so quickly.

Only boys pretending to be “macho” attempt to defend this sort of thing.

THANKS FOR YOUR REASONED POSTS!

I am always very surprised that some of the “Christians” on freeper can be so lacking in compassion for animals. I believe our creator called us to a higher calling. I can not imagine Jesus saying dog fighting or other animal cruelty is “Ok , cause its private property”. As a civilized people we do have a duty to enact certain laws as restrictions on violent, unacceptable behaviors.

It is disconcerting to see a glorification, or even a tolerance for what is sadistic sport. Real men are “gentlemen” , especially to those more vulnerable than they.

These posters always come onto these threads and I post to try to explain also the very real connection between animal abuse and human abuse.

[Immerito]

“Real men are “gentlemen” , especially to those more vulnerable than they.”

Exactly, a real man is strong AND tender when needed. He is capable of dandling a baby on his knee and taking on the criminal who just kicked in his door. He is ALPHA to all the dogs in the house, but gives out ear scratches and belly rubs when he pleases.

That is so eloquently stated!

The reason we have so many disturbed young men and in gangs is because they often lack a good male role model. This produces young males who lack self confidence and strong values and a strong sense of who they are..the result is a young male who is insecure, confused , and without confidence...just the kind who gets violent and indiscriminantly acts out.

Bizarre comment. Evidently you’re not aware of what goes hand in hand with dogfighting: guns, drugs and gambling not to mention unspeakable cruelty to the dogs. Do you think this type of criminal activity should be ignored?

Bizarre comment.

What's more important to you, solving human murders or arresting people at dog fights for animal cruelty?

Through these threads, I find dog lovers to be much more concerned with the welfare of animals (but not all animals, just dogs - like dogs were little furry people or something) than they are with humans. To me this is bizarre. Philly has a murder spree going on with roughly twice as many murders as it had this time last year, not to mention about 40 unsolved murders from 2010. To spend police resources tracking down dog fighting when the scumbags are killing people is a really stupid allocation of police resources.

I personally value human life far more highly than I value dogs. It is apparent that dog lovers reverse this paradigm.

[Shannon]

Right, ignore one type of criminal activity to concentrate on another. If you had any idea the extent of the criminality involved in dogfighting you wouldn't be so quick to pass judgment. Or maybe you do know. Hmm.

And your comment, I find dog lovers to be much more concerned with the welfare of animals (but not all animals, just dogs - like dogs were little furry people or something) than they are with humans. is total BS.

People like you seem to come out of the woodwork to make less of others when the arrests/activities don't suit your purposes. Give it a rest.

[from occupied ga]

My viewpoint is animals are less important than people. You obviously disagree. What I don't get about you and the other dog lovers is why you feel you have to personally attack everyone who disagrees with your point of view. Is it because you realise that you don't have a logical argument so go right to the frothing at the mouth stage? Or is it just that you're inherently rude and the anonymity of a keyboard gives you license to behave in a way you'd never do face to face.

If I say tracking down murderers is more important than tracking down dog fighting rings, then you fabricate a lie and say I approve of dog fighting. I don't. It's just that crimes against animals are less important to me than crimes against people like murder, robbery, rape, assault, etc.

So you "give it a rest" until you've learned to disagree politely.

[Shannon]

Disagree politely? Do you mean like you do by making up things the other person said? What's so polite about that?!?

Re-read my comment to you. I challenge you to find where I wrote that you approve of dog fighting. Go, look. You made that up! Now re-read your comment to me. You accused me of frothing at the mouth and personally attacking "everyone" who disagrees with me. Who's being RUDE?

Now buzz off. I don't want to writing back to me. Go away.

[from occupied ga]

Now buzz off. I don't want to writing back to me. Go away.

You don't get to determine that. I didn't want your insulting post to me in the first place, but you went ahead and did it anyway.

I wrote that you approve of dog fighting. Go, look

Lookie here

Or maybe you do know. Hmm.

[Shannon]

A dictionary would be your best friend.....if you'd use one. Look up the word "maybe".

It's time you drop this.

[Shannon]

Another thing, if you're going to quote me, copy the ENTIRE sentence. What I wrote exactly was, I challenge you to find where I wrote that you approve of dog fighting. In quoting me, you conveniently left out the first half of the sentence to make it appear that I said you approved of dogfighting. That's deceptive and dishonest.

You need to find someone else to spar with. I'm not interested. However, if this keeps up I'll have no problem reporting it as abuse.

[from occupied ga]

I'll have no problem reporting it as abuse.

Report away
