Short of Funds, G.O.P. Recruits the Rich to Run - Page 2

I think the morons here are going to win.
Since this board cannot actually discuss a real topic that is not of a religious nature, since you can't bring yourselves to actually discuss that objectively. There is no reason for me to stay.
There was a time when one could post a topic and actually discuss it with intelligent people regardless of their stance on the topic, including UT.
Seems the sun has set on that day.
I suggest you remove the politics and current events section, no reason for them.

i'm sorry, your rant must be presented in the form of a puppy. like this one.

Bullitt · 11-27-2007, 05:05 PM

Oh no I'm not going to get a dog while I'm living here in this apartment. Once I've graduated and got my own place then I'll look into it. The Husky is just my ideal future dog.

I can't say enough good about our Aussie or enough bad about our beaglador deceiver.

monster · 11-27-2007, 07:05 PM

you wouldn't rather have these?

deadbeater · 11-27-2007, 07:14 PM

rkz, the point is that the rich can finance their own campaign if they want. We even had rich liberals (Mike Bloomberg) running for office. We in the US ain't sweating because of that.

Bullitt · 11-27-2007, 07:23 PM

Hey hey hey stay on topic deadbeater.

Let me just say right now: I am not a dog person. I am not a mammal person. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and my overall impression was that both were smelly beasts who shed hair on everything and occasionally tore up the furniture and ruined the carpet.

That said, I actually considered--for the briefest of moments--the possibility of a dog this afternoon. Minifob just freaking loves them, goes nuts whenever we see one at the playground. And of course being family dogs, they're always so gentle and nice and he gets to get right up and play with them... All boys are supposed to have a dog, right? But I know I would regret it, I know I would. At the very least, not until he's old enough to really care for it. I will never, ever, ever scoop another pile of poop out of the backyard. No way no how.

Say, 35?

Some mistakes I have seen Japanese people make with dogs:
* naming your chocolate poodle "Chocopoo".
* attaching the leash of your Siberian husky to the wrist of your five year old daughter.
* buying a Loius Vuitton mini-backpack ... for your dog

Also, by word of mouth, it seems a bad idea to keep a pet kangaroo inside the house, especially if you have paper walls.

Get a small dog, that way the poos can mostly degrade on their own.

We had a pet joey for a short while when I was kid. I loved it. It used to hop around the house after me and we'd go crazy.

Dad got sick of mum bitching at him and took it to a wildlife release group who get animals ready to go back out in the...well, wild.

I like playing with other people's dogs, and then going home to a house with no pets. My neighbor growing up had a golden retriever. That was a fun dog. You could throw tennis balls all day long and it would go get them for you. Kinda dumb though.

My wife had a cat when I met her. The cat was part of the deal when I married her. It was a decent cat, as cats go, but after she died (the cat) we never got another one. I'm really pleased to have a fur free house now. Wen to my MIL's for Thanksgiving, and she has a cat. Fur on everything. Not a lot, but enough to notice. Yuck.

BTW, you both tipped your hat with this and showed that you are both true stalkers and all the complaints about me calling you that were unfounded.

You meant to say tipped your hands. You're welcome. :tips cap:

My brother's golden, Zeke, who passed last summer, was actually the smartest dog I've ever known. The guy could speak human, imo.

They just got a new golden pup and I don't think they're having as much luck in the brains dept, but boy is he a sweetheart. Great with the kids.
