You know what really rustles my jimmies

[BDR]

it's not about YOUR dog, it's the principle of human life vs animal life for f**k's sake

 

[HowHigh]

There's a few people that I'd choose the dog's life above theirs but I get your point lol.

 

[Springs]

Yes and I'm saying mass murderers lives are worth less than dog's lives. In fact if you valued human life you would choose the dog every time, choosing an evil person means you are condemning more people to death.

If you murdered 2000 puppies and 2000 kittens to save the life of Andrei Chikatilo then you've murdered 53 people in doing that. If you value human life more then I'd save the puppies and kittens if I were you.

Of course if there was a random dog and a random person I'd save the person, but that doesn't extend to any dog and any person like you said.

 

[BDR]

By putting faces on the situation you are missing the point entirely Springs

I think it's pretty obvious that I meant any random animals vs any random person

 

[afinalsin666]

I'm an incredibly selfish person. If it was my cat vs a random, I'd save my cat, as he brings me more enjoyment than a random would. You save a random, then they disappear from your life. If it was random cat vs random human, of course I'd save the human.

Same as I'd save a friend or family member, before a random. It boils down to how the death affects me. A random doesn't hold as much weight with me as my cat or my sister's dog or my friend.

 

[afinalsin666]

But then again, that's my twisted logic working. In the heat of the moment, I have nfi what I'd do

 

[Apey]

Lol I know BDR was just hypothesising exaggerated scenarios to get his point across but I'm glad it's encouraged so much lolsworthy discussion :lol:

What threw me off was in this hypothetical (and provoked the psychopath comment) was that you were actually directly killing the animals. The first thing I pictured was some crazy lady commanding you kill her 1000 cats else she would hang herself or something like that. If it was a genuine choice to save a random human vs a random animal then I get where you're coming from.

I'm with afinalsin666 though. I'd go through many humans before I even hesitated not choosing my own pet. I'm selfish like that, too.

I'd shoot Hitler before I'd shoot my dog.

Hitler is already dead, bro.

 

[Misanthrope]

I think my username says it all. I'm not the misanthrope I once was, but there are still a lot of people who I don't have a lick of time for.

No you said ANY person over ANY animal. You didn't say not including serial killers, mass murderers, rapists etc etc

By putting faces on the situation I just revealed giant holes in your logic.

I reiterate that if it came to a choice between an animal and a human (any animal and any human) I think you're evil or at least very stupid if you don't choose the human being every time.

See, right there.

Hitler is already dead, bro.

No he's still around. Someone should really stop him no idea why the UN hasn't stepped in yet.

 

[BDR]

Ok you win with your semantic argument, congrats.

 

[adamkungl]

I was going to rant in reply, but I think I am ranted out on this topic.

All I'll say is that a) guide dogs are an example of human ingenuity, not the kindness and nobility of dogs, and b) I reiterate that if it came to a choice between an animal and a human (any animal and any human) I think you're evil or at least very stupid if you don't choose the human being every time.

Any human? No. A lot of animals are better than a lot of humans.

Eh... Value of human life is important but ... how do I say this without being an awful person.... overstated. I don't mean it doesn't matter, or that we're strangling the earth or any of that hippy nonsense, or even that i don't care... but the universe moves on.

That wasn't obvious at all. In fact I (and others) thought you were quite clearly stating that you would kill Lassy over Bilal Skaf given the choice.

 

[Dragon2010]

f**k me. BDR is copping the firing line for his comment. :crazy:

 

[Apey]

I reckon "I'd kill a 1000 f**king kittens and puppies..." should be incorporated into a LU meme tbh

 

[Twizzle]

never seen a seeing eyed cat, at least dogs can be useful

they are useless except for killing and maiming native fauna

 

[Jason Maher]

Any human? No. A lot of animals are better than a lot of humans.

e.g. Roosters fans, Storm fans, donkeys fans, doggeez fans, lol@souffs fans...

Jimmies constantly rustled by merkins who use EFTPOS for tiny purchases and hold the f**king queue up at 7/11 or wherever. I want to stomp them to death and stuff puppies and kittens down their throat.

So I'm not the only one. I seriously think they need to make it a $20/30 minimum. I was at Macca's once and some rude person (Yes she was rude for other reasons) used EFTPOS for $10 friggin' dollars! I always make the habit of carrying around at least $70-80 cash min for emergency situations and to avoid issues like that.

 

[Jason Maher]

I almost never carry cash. Come at me princesses!

You wait until all the proper people have all been served then. You're like a lump of fat in an artery.
