What the **** is it with you John?
What the hell difference does it make if Doug agrees with me?
Don't you have a brain of your own?
Don't you have a backbone?
We're not talking rocket surgery here, just very simple basics.
Most kids are taught these things at about age 5, how old are you?
Here, I'll spell it out for you:
*Treat other people as you want to be treated.*
There, is that simple enough?
If you abuse that one simple rule of humanity you may pay a severe
consequence.
Don't let your dog **** in my yard, don't paintball my house, don't
fondle
my daughter, etc.
In turn I won't do those things to you.
Does any of this make sense to you?


Fair enough. If my dog ****s in your yard, you have my permission to
**** in mine. If you kill my dog, then I kill you. Fair?

That is fair.
However, I went one step further, to insure your civility. We installed a 6'
high estate fence around our new home so that your dog will not cause you to
get killed.
See how nice I am?

Funny that in all the posts that I've suggested the same to Doug, he
fails to consider it. I guess in his mind, he should not have to be
"burdened" with the chore of constructing a fence to keep the unwanted
out of his garden. He feels that it's everyone else's responsibility
to keep them out for him.

You seem to have this issue with comparing apples to oranges. In no
way, in any rational person's mind, should something so trivial as
"dog droppings" justify lethal force as a response.

Then you would have no problem with all of my dogs ****ting on your couch
repeatedly?

Why do you guys like to go to the extreme and out of the realm of
reality when trying top make points? Strawman arguments are easy to
pick apart because they do not reflect reality. I'm not suggesting
that you don't have the right to respond to inconsiderate neighbors. I
am saying that you are restricted by law to a measured response.

To take a page from your examples from the extreme, if a kid throws a
egg at your window, you can't shoot an RPG after him.

You seem to be following Johns footsteps.
Not once have I advocated harming an animal, ever.

Really? Then what ARE you advocating?
