War is also when people put shit out into the space we all share.

I can call you out on inconsistentsies. Tell me what makes a dog more

Claiming that your country's norms are a moral standard is putting
yourself in the same logical justification category as the Hitler
Youth. Please tell the person you've accused of cowardice how the dog
is more worthy of *rights* than the pig.
I've fought a dog, not by choice mind you, but because the dog's owner
was sloppy enough to let an American Bull Terrier off a leash. I won,
partly because I delivered six well placed punches to its head, and
also because she finally restrained the beast, all the while saying
shit like, "Spuds, don't hurt my Spuds."

Your affection for your own companion animals is fine, but anyone who
argues that dogs deserve a higher regard than pigs better make a
better case for it than relying on social norms or in the long run,
Usenet will find you more lacking than me. The Nazis dehumanized
Jews, homosexuals, et al, and heck, while we're at it, the Jews stoned
sexual deviants to death in Old Testament times.

It is true that the dog has a different historical relationship with
*us*, HUMANS, than the pig, but look at the injustices of history that
were very recently, VERY RECENTLY in the context of history, taken as
givens. The Loving case for example (inter-racial marriage).

You really want to challenge me? Really? You really want to
charachterize me as cowardly?

They have for quite a few years, dude, and quite a few individuals
have failed to follow up with a logical argument that put me in what
they thought was my proper place. Are you the courageous one? Not
likely. You'll let this thread die. Prove me wrong. I challenge
you. I call you out. You who typed the word "cowardly,"
