BS Christian supremacy crap. We're part of the natural world and have to live with it, not lord over it. Animals have thoughts and feelings just like you do. How you gonna feel when AI decodes whale language and we can have real meaningful conversations with other species?

Sure they do. lol. Just imagine AI decoding the screams and carnage of 1000s of bugs hitting my bumper & windshield on my drive home daily. We’ll never drive again. Unlike you, I am actually part of the natural world, growing, raising or hunting the majority of my food. It’s people like you who hide indoors with an occasional camping trip or hike with your Nature Valley granola bar, who have zero idea about the natural world. You don’t have a clue. Not even worth arguing with you about.

Somebody catch me up, because I don't want to read what led up to this. Are we debating which animals are okay to kill vs. which ones are not?

If so, I want it on the record that I prefer dogs over the vast majority of people.

What is the last thing to go through a bugs mind, as it hits the windshield?

It's @sshole.

Obviously different organisms with different nervous systems have different levels of complexity. But acting like it's binary and not a continuum we're on is extremely naive. Great apes can already communicate in a variety of ways, everyone remembers Koko the western lowland gorilla but the experiments with Kanzi the bonobo are even more interesting. Whales and dolphins have complex verbal languages, scientifically proven to have structure and syntax. We just don't know what it is yet. Probably a lot of fish discussion. You're going to look at your dog very differently when it can talk back.

Dogs are a gift to humankind. We don't deserve dogs.

You're a strange bird, no pun intended....unless you are a bird and then that would actually be amazing. But birds are smarter than you, so scratch that.

Sounds like he believes in natural rights for animals: their life, liberty and happiness... just not for you, the anti-Communist pro-American, or tohers in his way, like the pre-born.

The Donald should countersue for all the expenses of events that he forcibly missed. And projected events too. Probably worth, say ... 80 to 175Million?

And if you're training an animal, and it doesn't take, no matter what you do, what's the next option?

If it stays vicious? Attacking animals and perhaps next humans?

Is your entirety of knowledge of the animal kingdom from Disney movies, Bambi, Lion King, and the like?

Hey, don't argue with Dion! He was there! Saw the whole thing, and besides he is an expert on animals. Probably has a PhD in animal mental history or some shit like that.


Clearly I'm joking. Dion is the worst f***ing princess on here. He is a terrible person.

This from the pro-abortion crowd.

Amazing. Their lack of self awareness is simply mind-boggling.

It needed training. It's not like it was rabid. And really, if this is the version she herself put in print, what's the actual truth? It's not like she made herself look worse than reality.

I literally have no idea how fixed income people make it.

Depends on how big the fixed is & if tied to CPI, but agree. We waited till 70 to take SS & it's ~ $72K/yr between us before Medicare.

Yes because abandoning your constituents to team with the other party to borrow another $100 billion to waste in foreign wars while the country falls apart is certainly governing.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Lol progressives. All you have to do to end their revolution is call domeome by the wrong pronoun or something and that's equal to gassing jews for them

“According to a new FEC Reports, House Speaker Mike Johnson allegedly received $524,000 from AIPIC.”

“And a $95,000 payment from a foreign lobby group shortly after the passing of the $14.5 billion military aid package.”

This doesn’t look good at all. Wait until after the Nov election and replace him. He’s a clone of Paul Ryan in terms of (non) leadership style.

Replace him? LOL. You MAGA people never come up with a viable candidate & just b!tch.

I get that it isn't a good look without context, but in that time and especially that area, it's a regrettable but legit action to take. There was no retraining etc back then especially in rural areas. Plus iirc there in these cattle states, you owe a legal duty to other animal owners to take such action. Sad but life in the country is unforgiving at times.

Even growing up in rural Kentucky, putting down a dog by shooting it was common place. Sick and yes overly aggressive. Was a very painful experience for owners and oddly a rite of passage for young boys turning into hardened men. Life in the country in those times was unforgiving to all, sad as it was.

I can certainly see how through today's lense, where people see pets as their kids, this is appalling and evil. Reality is it was an unfortunate necessity especially in a time and place where animals were utilitarian instead of pets

She should've been savvy enough to omit this story. Country folk know what she's talking about, but that's a small percentage of people, all of which were voting gop no matter what. I

I prefer her open honesty over hiding something for political reasons. I think more highly of anyone & her for it.

 

[vhcat70]

Well, NetCat, perhaps you can't see a difference in money allocated to citizens being misappropriated sometimes by bad actors, versus that money going to foreign bad actors.

Most intelligent people can.

So US bad actors are favored by you over foreign bad actors? That makes someone more intelligent? LMAO.

 

[Bill Cosby]

The current threat the US faces due to run away government spending is existential. Every single bill that goes through Congress should be judged on whether or not the dollars being spent are worth risking the collapse of the United States. That’s not being dramatic or hyperbolic.

Funneling money to Zelenski and defense contractors is not worth it.

If Russia is that big of a threat, America should just nuke them and get it over with. We can’t afford this level of bullshit.

If he abandoned his constituents he won't get re-elected this Fall. Do you live in his LA-District? If not, you aren't his constituent. Nothing wrong with teaming with others to achieve a goal you favor, is there? Let me know when you b!tch about covid relief fraud - much bigger. Also, 3/4 of Pubs directly or indirectly favored the bill. So just whoim is he abandoning?

Also, do you favor Tik Tok ban or sale? That was in that bill also. DO you favor aid to Israel? Aid to Taiwan? This country will sink or swim regardless of this bill.

Honesty is always good but there is no requirement to share every single thing. If she was asked point blank, that's one thing, but she just threw it out there. Goes to show she probably doesn't have a great pulse on the national voter because this story is a nothing for anyone over 40 from a rural area.

You don’t think the Republicans that elected him speaker are his constituents?

Search my post history if you want to see bitching about Covid fraud. If Congress wants to pass another PPP or ERTC I will oppose the bills.

The “TikTok” bill is dumb as shit and going to be used to target other specific companies Washington doesn’t like. We shouldn’t be targeting companies simply because the US intelligence agencies want a monopoly on spying on US citizens.

I generally opposed all foreign aid given the fiscal crisis in the United States. Any dollar that would otherwise be spent overseas should be an “expenditure” here at home. We shouldn’t be disincentivizing capex and R&D with tax increases, while at the same time increasing spending abroad.
