I think American culture is insane for thinking that keeping dogs outside is cruel." "Whats cruel is keeping them indoors. Its like a prison."

For those who restrict them when conditions aren't suitable, either in or out, I'd agree. Mine go in and out as they please. The average summer daily high temp in this area is near 100 degress F, insulated is the last thing they need and an air conditioned dog house is kinda out of the question. They ask to come in and they are allowed. They ask to go out and they are allowed.

As long as you pay some attention to them and don't neglect them like too many do it's all good. My reaction was more to the idea that they shouldn't be in, it wasn't a suggestion that that's the only place they belong.

Beagle Viciously Attacks Rottweiler

>> ^gtjwkq:
What are they doing indoors!?

And what the fuck is wrong with them being indoors?

I've got myself a 115 lb or so Shepherd mix and a 50 or 55 pound Australian Cattle Dog, or Blue Heeler around here. Used to have a 120 lb Black Lab and a 55 or 60 lb Pit Bull/Blue Heeler mix as well. All indoor dogs as much as they wanted to be. They ask when they want in and asked when they want out. If I sit on the floor the Shepard mix sits in front of me then rears up, throws himself back in my arms and expects me to catch him like a baby or something, and so far I always have. He wants to be a lap dog too now that he's seen the smaller one do it.

Why have a dog in the first place if you're just going to leave it out in the weather and never see the thing? They make better pets than lawn ornaments.

The Return of Choggie (Sift Talk Post)

Edit to remove most of what I was saying, I find that I don't give a shit anymore. And I doubt anyone else does either.

I logged in here a bit ago because two videos were just posted on YouTube that are worth sifting, but I find myself not caring at the moment. If anyone wants a couple of good science vids on dosage and risk as it relates to vaccines parts 1 and 2 are at the following links.

Amazing collection of color photographs from Nazi Germany (History Talk Post)

"But most of all it's a collection of people of all kinds. A majority of the nazis were not so unlike you and me. This is important to remember if we don't want to repeat history.

In that vein a set of videos I watched not too long ago was "The Nazis A Warning From History" which is a 6 part (50 minutes each part) documentary which explores who they were and how they got there. One of the biggest aspects that struck me was the same as what you mentioned. They weren't so different than we are, it could happen here too.

I thought I saw one sifted here some time back but don't see it in a quick search, but it's worth a Google web search for since I'm sure I watched most of it there.

For the old-timers: Should Choggie be allowed back in the sift? (User Poll by gwiz665)

I voted to allow him back. If anyone cares why (I'm not sure why they would, I wouldn't) I can explain in more detail, but for now I'll just say it's been a year and he did contribute before he blew up. I don't want the angry choggie who was banned back, but the guy I knew a year before that was ok and I could deal with him. If the angry one came back instead it's not a big trick to ban him again, plenty of you can do it at need. I don't see a real reason not to give it a chance and see what he has to say for himself, which one shows up.

I kind of liked the guy, but I like all kinds of odd people such as Blankfist and others as well, no accounting for taste I guess. Make me smile and I'm easy
