Official Off Topic Discussion Thread #1

Kidding . . . I’m just kidding!

There’s no way I’m gonna get bored, because I’ve got my project car down off of the welding jig and on its wheels with brakes and steering and suspension, and it’s almost ready to install the engine.

I just put the shifter in, the rear axles on, and it still needs a parking brake handle, a fuel tank, and a couple other little dodad’s.

Then I can put the body on!

I’ve had the body off 2 1/2 years this time. This is the second time I’ve taken the body off of this car.

Does it help that I am not reporting attacks on people lately?

Not really...

This is a case where one person posts stories and evidence and documentation that he feels somehow strengthens and reinforces his interpretation of the topic at hand. Then another person...one with a very different interpretation of the same topic... reads and examines and views that same evidence and feels that it actually reinforces his own interpretation...which is the exact opposite of the first fellow's.

It doesn't matter how many stories you post or if anyone reads them, it boils down to the same thing.

If you take on the responsibility of having a dog then you are responsible for what that dog does. If you cannot handle this responsibility don't get a dog.

Absolutely! The same logic holds true with respect to other animals, motor vehicles, firearms, knives, wood stoves, baseball bats, welding torches, electrical appliances, alcohol, hippos and any number of the other little things that make life pleasant and fun if treated with respect and circumspection...but make life dangerous and painful if handled thoughtlessly and foolishly!

Hello; A thing I find interesting is many, if not all, can identify fish species which are known to be aggressive compared to species which are known to be peaceful. We accept there are natural tendencies and stock tanks accordingly.

But I do understand. Folks like, even love, their dogs. If the dog they love happens to be one known to be statically responsible for mauling people, they do not want their dog to be banned or restricted.

The subject is fresh for me in two ways. My brother has scars on his arm from an unprovoked dog attack. He was walking on a sidewalk to go watch a basketball game with a friend. A boxer attacked him. I have a neighbor whose dog became the terror of the neighborhood as it got to be close to a year old.

It is not some form of interpretation when a dog attacks a person, which they do. It is become the degree of reluctance to accept facts. A fact being just over 70% of fatal maulings are traced to two breeds. With one of the breeds having over 50% of the totals. Own one of those you best be very careful.

But this is the official off topic discussion thread. Just ignore my dog posts.
