Homeless people should not be able to have dogs.

This is a discussion thread, not a private post directed at you. If you don't like what I say then stfu and keep it to yourself because I will not be flamed just because I dared to speak in between some private argument you're having with the rest of the world.

It's my opinion. Nothing more.

I don't give a fuck about your stupid opinion.

I just want you people to understand that literal words can have a different abstract meaning.

Good lord man, everyone got what you said.

They are exploiting the cuteness factor and using the dog for fights to gain money.

I DISAGREE WITH THAT ASCERTION AS A BLANKET STATEMENT. DUH!!!

And, I CLEARLY stated that already. Read all the FUCKING posts before you babble like you have. SHIT.

I have.

You gleaned something from Canuk's post that I did not.

[hobbes]

I have.

Then you need to work on "understanding"

Sometimes the literal meaning does not convey the concept

Exactly, I gleaned why he was upset, being that he is 16. This was COMPLETELY explained before.

Seems you've all missed the real point.

The dog is homeless.

Should a homeless dog be allowed to have humans?

.......but homeless people shouldnt be able to own dogs.

.....At that age puppies need the propper nutrition and care, and a homeless guy cant give that. Its cold outside.

Now i know these people need a friend, but its just not fair for the puppy. But this dog should be with a family that can buy him food, clean water, toys and shelter.

Oh yeah....I got it.

You need to understand that your understanding ain't everyone else's and understand that what was being conveyed juuuuust might not be what you think.

It's very simple. He thinks that the dog is not being taken care of properly and should be with someone that can do it. I agree with him to an extent. However, it's more a non-issue to me especially since it's rare that I see such a thing and the one's that I have seen were being taken care of and seemed to provide companionship to the homeless fella.

The conveyed concept is what you got from it or very simply something you made up to fit a chance happening that you probably have never seen.

It is fortunate that you, as universal arbiter came along to explain what was actually meant. Some of us just read the words and take them to mean what they say. I was not previously aware that The Canuk worked thro' subtle allusion. I will watch for that forthwith.

Oh and "being homeless is a lifestyle choice" is not only a sweeping generalization, it is also offensive to the many people who are homeless thro' circumstances outwith their control and to the people who try to look after them. The fact that you (plural) only see the aggresive "homeless" does not mean that they are the only ones. Feck I wouldn't be surprised if most of your "homeless" had a home.

Please let me know if there is anything between the lines there. I have tried to convey no more than what the words actually say.

Hobbes...please clear out your pm box......

and kindly refrain from flaming people just because they don't happen to have the same 'take' on things as you. An opinion is fine and a forceful rebuttal is also fine, but name calling is a sign of bad temper and lack of ability to articulate without recourse to insult....tsk tsk hobbes....I would have hoped for better from you....

In a slight defense, I don't think he called names but the flaming was there.

Notice I didn't call him a dipshit. There was a reason for that....you know...my not calling him a dipshit.
