While I do admit to the personal bias of "loving dogs" (I find fault in
the dog, not the owner), that is not even what irks me about the post I
responded to. While it's true that you can austerely describe your
comment off as non-conformist, independent thinking, you can certainly,
with common sense, gauge the provocation of shock and disgust in those
reading your posts. I'm not sure about the full extent of your
callousness either. What's next? Are you going to lump in screaming
babies, senior citizens that drive poorly, the mentally challenged that
can't hold a job, and cripples that obstruct your path on the sidewalk.
Do they fall into your "not useful" category and deserve to die? I
wasn't just commenting on this post alone, however; I can tell from
your other posts that you're not out to make friends here anyway.
