In a topic like this it would be helpful to use the [sarcasm] tags (to tell if you are serious or not) so people can understand more about who you really areOriginally posted by: zendari

Personally, if given the choice between saving my dog's life and the life of a stranger... the dog will win every time.Just quoting for the record as to who are "ice cold jerks" and who aren't.Originally posted by: umbrella39
Guess what... if I had room for my dogs or you on my boat, guess who is swimming? I would however, let you hang on to the edge. I can't promise my dogs would not bite your hand though, they are pretty good judges of character.Originally posted by: zendari

I have been caring for a small chihuahua. < ( LOOK ! )
It was near the building generator (not ours which has been running since the storm hit) as they were about to start it.
It wouldn't come to anyone but it came to me and stuck to me like glue.
I just checked on him again (it's 7 floors down, no elevators) before getting some sleep.
Niters all, tomorrow is another day to keep bringing this city back to life.

You have issues. In fact maybe the whole country has issues the way I see pets babied like humans.
We have dogs, fish, a horse and I would'nt hesitate to cook one up for you or any other stranger.
In all fairness I think they are having a hard time recognizing zendari's humanity. I can assure you that they would save him when they heard him begging for help even at the cost of their pet's life..Originally posted by: Vic
And quite another thing beyond THAT to place animal life above human life and be outspoken about it. The arrogant hypocracy of ATPN sickens me sometimes.Originally posted by: Rainsford
It's one thing to be against saving pets' lives when it's not possible...but it's another to be a big jackass about it.

Jeez, talk about unfair call-outs!
By the way, it's called "NeoCons-R-Us"

Pol Pot, Saddam, Hitler and neocons..... wow
Suffice to say I find the radical Left's rhetoric to be just as extreme and hateful as any ridiculous Falwell comment. (sorry Rainsford, gotta watch those generalizations). 2 peas in a pod.

All I know is, I'd rather sit and die and make sure my animals didn't suffer than leave them stranded. The argument than human life is more important than animal life is a bunch of garbage. All life is equal, from large to small. These pets are like family members. Would you leave a family member to possibly starve to death? I know I wouldn't. I heard a story today about a child screaming and screaming for his dog, and then threw up as they left it behind. Luckily the SPCA was able to get the dog back to them safe and sound, but what about the other animals suffering in sewage and dying from starvation? But then again, that's just my opinion.

You're right, I don't grasp how in any way it's "evil" or "vile" to say that all life is equal. Every form of life on this planet serves a purpose, therby making them all equal. Now, if I was in dire straits would I save a human over an animal, of course, but would I still value the life of the animal equally, yes.
There are a few exceptions like the mass murderers you mention (not including the Neocon, that was just a stupid remark on your part)Originally posted by: dahunan
