boy what a wild time I've missed. so many dramas

@Fondboy
I don't like ambush tactics in general.
I can't respect ***ANY*** kind of dishonesty... Like demanding a definition for a commonly understood term;
But anyways:
**Straw man**
*an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.*
Like, say, *"putting high powered firearms in everyone's hands."*

Jesus y'all are still up lol?

get in our call faggot

@Deleted User let me try the headset, my Boomer bad bro

Methode is clearly a Jew.

@Unironic Ohio Supremecist
Ok. ¿So?

Just worth noting.

I'll be sure to ship him a Kar-98.

Lol. Imagine believing that taxation is the same as profit and then simultaneously defend taxation over profit because you then contradict yourself by saying taxation is somehow better.

I think it's established that there's no there there

I've seen it all before.

You get that same attitude from the people that bitch about how horrible and evil corporations are, and then get on their knees for Daddy government, as if government wasn't exactly like a corporation, just without some of the few consequences customers can inflict on a corporation.

Hello, is anyone here from the south, maybe carolinas? LA too. cause i'm doing a paper on dog euthanasia. me being in NJ where no-kill shelters are the norm and euthanasia of dogs is treated as an absolute evil, i was hoping to talk to someone who is from those areas where stray dog populations are outta control and maybe there are different attitudes.... i'm trying on this "debate" room cause, well, maybe it's controversial. apologies if this is wrong

i wonder how politics plays into this topic tbh

pretty much this with gov't spending

"pardon me but thats bullshit" 😂 😂 😂

fantastic movie

the kid helping him figure out the weapon is great

How do they put down animals in shelters?

@Weepy If you find out, we should do that to weebs.

How dare you

Good point. Too good for weebs.

We need Zyklon for them.

ah, there are several different methods. so, for example, in high kill shelters, they use gas chambers (carbon dioxide or monoxide) and put a group of dogs in at a time (maybe the size of an oven). intracardial injection is abit dated but still sometimes used. or there are methods of individual euthanasia, for example when a companion dog is put down at the vet individually, they'll use Pentobarbital combination injections

@Weepy so you would say that the method matters?

the numbers are staggering

I wish I knew more about it to have an opinion. Is it painful for them?

Well, the effectiveness of the gas chambers depends on the equipment and training of the personnel operating the equipment. It's a method classified as "acceptable with conditions" as opposed to "acceptable" by the AVMA. "with conditions" means that conditions must be met, andthere is room for error. typically, injections tend to be less faulty, more effective in rapid and stress-free death, and thus more likely to be humane. but thet's more expensive, and let's say, in the south where a shelter might be euthanizing 50+ dogs in a day with limited funding, you gotta consider that.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/10/23/quentin-miracle-dog-who-survived-gas-chamber-started-movement-dies-st-louis/

"The gas chamber was about the size of a large washing machine, and Quentin, an auburn-colored basenji mix with pointy ears, was locked inside with seven other dogs.

The morning of Aug. 4, 2003, started like any other at the St. Louis Animal Control pound, which had been killing six to eight dogs every day, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported at the time. First, employees tranquilized 1-year-old Quentin and the other dogs awaiting the chamber. They ushered the dogs inside the airtight box and shut the door. Then, for 15 minutes, they pumped in poisonous carbon monoxide.

But when employee Rosemary Ficken opened the door again, she found something startling: Quentin, staring back at her and wagging his tail — surrounded by dead dogs."

Yeah, ideally it could be as painless as possible, but I understand the trade-off with costs. Is the stray dog problem very bad there?

some areas are worse than others. I'm from NJ where stray dogs aren't much an issue, so I don't know first hand how bad it is in the south, but there are much more problems there with stray dogs

LA is a good example and this clip is really good IMO

it's only like three minutes

stray dogs everywhere and a guy dedicates his time trying to humanely capture and place them

low income families who cant afford proper vet care or backyard breeders who breed and then turn their dogs lose have made the situation really terrible
