It won't heal if you pick it.

[FIGJAM]

It might help if you picket!!!

Oh what a horrible thing it is to really care about something, to feel anger and frustration over its apparent ill health, and to have to push against a phalanx--and just get roundly harassed.

I wonder what would happen if the board members got all Tao or kungfu with it, and stopped resisting... Then some sort of break through might occur.

But what do I know?

[Elderberry]

Ya lost me.

This site really could use a reply feature so one can figure out who the fuck is talking to who. It's kind of funny though if instead of trying to figure it out you just see a bunch of primates pounding randomly on keyboards.

[Aurelia]

OMG

don't let go now when it just getting juicy

xoA.

Actually, that's what the 'quote' feature is for.

*sigh, the internet ate my homework*
Since this thread is a place to obliquely comment on other threads where we don't want to interrupt the flow of useful information with wiseass remarks, it's really rather random, and conversation here is kinda useless...

[Eric]

A gentle reminder, my dear fuckos, that "Page Two" isn't to target other users blatantly, it's for commentary on other threads - as Fishy points out, obliquely. As it says on the disclaimer for this thread on the first page:

Have fun, but please avoid being mean-spirited. As per our Community Guidelines, personal attacks are unwelcome.

Thank you. You may now return to your regularly scheduled venting.

That doesn't help if almost no one is quoting.

*bites tongue really really hard*
one must really be careful of what one asks for...

[Lonesomebri]

Defend my lifestyle? Hell, like I told my dear old Mother before she departed this mortal toil,
when she said she did not approve of my lifestyle:
"Mom, Look, I got no style, I barely got what could be called a life."

Damn I think I plonked myself

I know I have a gently used clue-bat around here somewhere.

[tamarakay]

Well, i did use plural. not just singular. plural.

Google returns 29,800,000 hits on Ebola+dog and 10,800,000 on Ebola+death.
It's only a dog! A little perspective might be appropriate.
A human tragedy is unfolding before us.

[kiboy]

Only a dog? I like dogs more than I like most people. Human tragedy is the norm on this planet. Were it a common cause this conversation would not be happening. But scare humans with a new and unusual threat no matter how relatively small and all of a sudden the sky is falling.

Only a dog? I like dogs more than I like most people. If that where true you wouldn't spend time on this and other forums "talking" to people. I'll bet you have a defaultia life too.

Human tragedy is the norm on this planet. I should have said disaster instead of tragedy. Regardless, the tragedy of the loss of human life is more important than a dogs life, although there are a few humans on my better dead list.

Were it a common cause this conversation would not be happening. But scare humans with a new and unusual threat no matter how relatively small and all of a sudden the sky is falling.

It's not that new or unusual. News services will play it up for ad revenue, click thru's, etc. There have been plagues and diseases threatening humans and animals since forever. The CDCs main job is to protect against this. SARS, Black Death, flu since 1917 come to mind. Hemographic fevers (ebola) aren't even that unusual- Hanta virus, marberg and Lassa are all hemographic fevers. Resevoirs of Hanta are in the US.
Evidence to date is that Ebola is fluid/ droplet transferrable. NOT an aerosal. It's not unlikely that a dog with ebola, in its sickness and pain, would bite or transfer salivia to its caretaker.

[kiboy]

I spend more time with my dogs then I do with humans in person and while posting my dogs are by my side usually. This doesn't mean I don't like any humans though. I'm not completely exclusive.

the tragedy of the loss of human life is more important than a dogs life

Well you could add that that is your personal subjective view here and not a universal truth. By shear number I would agree, many people might be worth more than one dog. But if you put them head to head I'd choose dogs for what some might consider logical reasons. And in the end maybe all life has equal value. I mean to the dog if they can/could think about it I'd guess they'd find themselves more important than some unknown and different species.

That dog could have been quarantined for a long time. Or are you suggesting all the dogs and animals in Africa's critical ebola centers be euthanized?

The good part about putting a dog down is that they really don't know what's happening and don't have the same emotional fears of death or impermanence that humans do. If done right the dog just relaxes, goes limp and is gone. I've held a dog in my arms while it's happened and it was very peaceful except for me. I cried for weeks.

[Simon of the Playa]

don't order the bisque, bitches.

[lucky420]

The worlds pretty fuckin crowded

[Aurelia]

Whew!

Today page two is heavy reading.

xoA.

[BoyScoutGirl]

You see what happens when you ask the playa to provide? If you've been very, verrry nice, the playa goes and steals some poor shmoe's gin, that's what happens.

I hope you're happy.

[Madgirl]

The playa didn't steal it, it provided that gin to somebody else. I sure hope so, anyway, because otherwise that's just a waste of good alcohol.

[AntiM]

Cheers. Although I hate gin. Can someone lose a nice bottle of Kraken? Please?

[Ratty]

Ha! You don't see that everyday. You MIGHT be able to elicit a critique of the high, the taste, the hangover.
