Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Fun fact: the actual Aryans were pretty ruddy-faced.
In the interest of a less serious discussion: PETA sues to give Naruto the copyright to his own selfie.
...that's Naruto the "selfie monkey," just so we're clear.

Their kill policy I knew about. And them supporting unaffiliated shelters killing whatever pit bulls come in, because, you know, the breed's vicious.

Unfortunately, the pit bull panic is one of those cases of "liberal hysteria" that hurts the cause with the general public, much like vaccinations and GMOs.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"PETA kills...ahem euthanizes most of the animals under their "care" because they have overcrowded shelters or not enough money to feed and support the animals. Besides being idiots who release captive bred animals into the wild without any care.
Still Bull Terriers and Pit Bulls can be just as docile as any other dog, it was assholes who tainted their reputation.
I my family had at least 3 dog breeds associated with violent breeds, and all of them were the sweetest fur balls any dog owner could ever wish to have. A Rottweiler, a Brazilian Mastiff and a Bull Terrier.
Inter arma enim silent legesThere's a rotweiller in my building. The only threat she poses anyone is that she will keep licking them until the people leave. Candy wants to love you so bad. She doesn't jump, she just walks up to people, wags her tail and licks you.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickIf anything, that indicates the need for responsible dog ownership. It's not the animals' fault.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"An apt explanation of the wealthy elite's poor grasp on economics. Trump is so rich he doesn't really understand the concept of poor.
