Would you choose to save the life of your pet(that you've had for years)or a stranger

[Jodi]

If you had only laid it out in laymens terms 50 posts ago, this thread is moving so fast fireworks shot out of my PC.

I thought I made my point very clear. It was laid out the same way. I've been saying the same thing all along

 

[KelJu]

I'm not sure I agree with that, there have been entire species wiped out, and it's not always mankind's doing.

That is nature. And one day we will be wiped out, and new species will raise up in our place.

 

[Jodi]

Of course not! You follow me on that then. So you see we are talking about different kinds of value. Most of the people saying equal value are only talking about inherent value.

Now, emotional value, or what you should said "worth" are different. My mom is worth more to me than any of my friends. I would kill, steal, and die for my mom. She easily ranks quantum leaps higher than anyone else in worth, but she has the same inherent value as every other living organism.

Kiki's will inherit the earth

Yup, just like our ancestors have been wiped out in the past. Our day will come to.

You so SMRT

 

[mike456]

Precisely my point. She has more value to you. As my dogs have more value to me than the stranger........ and the stranger has more value to me, than the ant. Neither of which make any of them better than an another. Just like your mother is no better than a stranger but to YOU she has more value.

See you do understand

I guess you got me, or maybe I ran out of brain power and I am too tired to think of another post. I will read it over later! this isn't over until the fat man says so!

 

[KelJu]

I'm glad I finally got some use out of that $50,000 education.

You should get a refund.


J/k... I'll be here all week.

 

[Jodi]

I just want to make sure you all understand my point. Nobody has to agree with me because I really don't care either way. My POV is my POV and you all have yours

 

[KelJu]

BTW, I got all the wrickles smoothed out in openSuse. It is a pretty sweet version.

Do they give refunds or was it one of those places that use the little short buses?

 

[KelJu]

We don't have no buses. We out in da woods.

Super

WHAT A BUNCH OF SICK MOTHER FUCKERS YOU ARE!!!

I'm sorry,but I'm outta here.

Prince. you can delete this account.

Sorry to all the friends I have made here over the years, but this takes this forum to it's lowest plateau.
Wow. What a rude bitch.

Go fuck yourself. How's that for rude?

 

[MCx2]

Haha, no kidding. What a loser. I believe that all living things are equal. My pet is a part of my family.

I'll even give Dero a list of reasons my cat is more important than a stranger.

My pet loves me unconditionally.
My pet is loyal.
My pet has cheered me up hundreds of times, just as my family and my friends have.
My pet has never raped, killed, and slaughtered innocent people for money or power.
My pet will never sell me out.
My pet will not steal from me, like other people who I thought were friends have.
My pet is an emotional being with a soul.
My pet is always happy to see me.
My pet brings happiness and joy to my life.


I don???t know many people with all of those same character traits. I think the world would be a better place if people had half of the character that my pet has.

So Dero, I am pretty sure that most of the pet owners here agree. We love our pets. The stranger might have to die. And get lost, nobody wanted you back here anyway.

Amen! I agree 100%.

 

[Brachiisaurus]

We have bad logic because we believe a humans life is more sacred then that of a mut? Alrighty.

Let me guess you like to hunt?

Let me guess, you liked to beat animals as a kid?
Real tough guy huh?

It's always the most judgemental that have the most to hide.

 

[maniclion]

Casey Jones is driving that train high on Cocaine, he wouldn't be sleeping he'd be wide awake......he'd hit the brakes well in good time to not hit the stranger so I'll grab my dog and hop aboard the train and share some of his cocaine as we gently nudge the train forward and scare the shit out of the jogger....

 

[BoneCrusher]

Rather pathetic really. Been said a million times already and totally lacks an edge. "Go fuck yourself" is the kind of 7th grader insult you'd expect from a angst ridden pimple faced teen ager before he goes behind the house and smokes his mommies cig's.

Nope, never did any of that. Not a tough guy. I just stick up for what I believe in. Sorry if I don't agree with you and you can't handle it. Sounds like your going to have to deal with it though.

[DOMS]

And there is nothing wrong with that, because that is your personal set of ethics.

Seems like some people don't like other people's personal beliefs. This thread has started a war.

"save the pet vs. the save the human"

Who really gives a shit? I don't. I don't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks of my beliefs, and maybe everyone in this thread could do well be also not giving a shit what other people think of their beliefs.

This could be a fun thread where people take another person's perspective into consideration, or we could fight like children.

Do you think it would help the discussion if I said that if the person were a Mexican that I'd tie him to the tracks and watch him die while petting the animal?

Kinda as pathetic as you getting upset over what I said in the first place.

I was kidding dude, take a pill....

[Bakerboy]

I would save my pet ant over a human.

 

[Dero]

This is NOT an apology nor am I looking for one from ANYBODY.
I've been told off, big deal, as I read this thread,but I realise that words simply role out of babe's mouths...
IMHO(if it matters to anybody) an animal (a pet) has a heart beat, has an instinct and a sense of survival but NO SOUL and NO INTELLIGENCE. I own three dogs, I've surrounded myself with dogs for all of my adult life, yes I do love them, I enjoy their company so on and so forth and I do see them as being inferior to us the human beings. BUT I will NEVER put them in front or before the life of another HUMAN BEING, be it somebody that I know OR NOT.
I was wrong in calling people "sick moyher fuckers" those who do not share my views, but what is done is done...

So no, I did not lose it like some might sumise, I simply do not share the same values that many have here. To me,that is very important to know that you surround yourself with people that are of the same genre as yourself.
So, like I stated in my previous post,
I'm outta here.

 

[ABCs]

I am going to tread lightly here after hearing some of the things that people have said... but if that's a joke then:

 

[BoneCrusher]

I'm no where near upset ... not in the slightest. People that have been here a while have seen me post when I am upset at someone. I get a little involved in those posts and there is no doubt about my feelings ... so no I don't need a pill, but a double hazel-nut latte would be nice right about now.

My copy of your post with that one word replaced was intended to show you how you made Dero feel. Your reaction shows I hit my target in some way. I imagine Dero was a bit offended, as were you.

Dero didn't deserve your bombastic attack ... calling him a whiney bitch. He's been here a while and as a vet he deserved more respect than that. He should feel he can express his true feelings without getting sucker punched in an unprovoked way ... make sense?

 

[BoneCrusher]

As long as you feed the dog the body parts so the dead man's last moments have meaning ...

In my estimation Dero had long gone to even read that post. I noticed his avatar was taken down and his user description was reset, which is quite "bitch-like" IMO.

If you are reading this, I apologize Dero, if I offended you in any way.
