Sometimes you like to post like a douche (not saying you are one) just to piss people off. I figured this thread would look awfully ripe to you.
Admittedly, I do occasionally grow tired of pleasantries and opt to cut straight to the point instead.
If I'm going to deliberately "post like a douche," however, it's probably because someone's pissed me off. :lol:
No offense intended but I'm not at all sure why you think you really have any say in what the proper "perspective" should be regarding their pets. If you don't have any affinity for animals, good for you. I really mean that. It probably makes your life easier to not give a ****. Sometimes I would prefer it if this wasn't a point of such strong sensitivity for me. At the same time, if you don't understand it you also don't get to credibly argue that everyone should be as indifferent as you or that that's the "right" way to be.
Mmmmm ok (I probably would though).
Well... Again, to each their own.
Suffice to say, however, my reaction to someone who actually
were to, say, allow my child (or, really, anyone's child, or even an adult, for that matter) to drown or burn to death in a fire because they were more concerned with their dog than a fellow human being would probably be rather negative. It would probably be severely negative, in point of fact, if not outright violent, depending on the circumstances.
I mean... Yea. I understand the affection. However, there's a difference between having an "affinity for animals," as you put it, and basically acting like that one spazzy stereotypically useless ultra-prissy, hysterical, or irrational guy/gal in most action, horror, or adventure movies that basically
everyone in the audience desperately wants to see get shot.
The kind of behavior described above would rather squarely put a person in that latter category, IMO.
Then again, however, I'm not the most sensitive type anyway, and that part of my personality has probably only been exacerbated by my choice of career. As such, you can feel free to pay the grouchy guy in the corner no mind in this regard, if you so choose. :lol:
