The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

I am sick of these turds thinking they have the moral high ground.

Time to actually punish these people with mandatory sentences.

Do dogs/cats not experience sadness? Anxiety? Fear? Love? I know you may have a point somewhere but you've not articulated it well at all. Rational? Weird, since you've just suddenly said people who value pets are incapable of being rational, Then said said animals are incapable of emotion, which you surely know is completely dumb and irrational to think that?

I said human emotion. I am sure dogs/cats feel anger/distress/joy (at a primal level) but they certainly don't feel the complex human emotions. With regards to love, I am not convinced, I am sure dogs might feel some affection for their owners, but probably nothing like human love.

Really dissapointed as Me+another rep had decorated that place about 2 weeks ago and none was really captured in any of those shots, If anyone can get the origional video and comment on how nice the Bunting/Weihenstephaner decorations looks that would be awesome, best image is about a minute in. Dude who was yelling about small family businesses offered me a glass of coke as well while setting stuff up, Absolute lad.

Secondly. Non disruptive protest, **** off. People who work there are awesome. Not a big venue. Having w***ers turn up and piss off patrons kills small businesses like that. **** right off

Dog love > human love.

Dogs are simpler mammals with smaller brains so obviously don't have the complex spectrum of human emotions, but I've met way more cold, emotionless people than I have dogs. Cats on the other hand are 100% jerks.

They should've called the cops. Plenty of them milling around in Northbridge. Alternatively grab a steak and start pushing it in their faces. Try to get it in their mouths if possible. They wouldn't be expecting it and would completely freak.

The affection a dog feels for its owner will generally last as long as food. Drop dead and see how long it takes the dog to start dining out on your corpse.

My grandad's dog cried for days after he died then his health very quickly deteriorated and he didn't last much longer. Was horrific to see and is far from uncommon.

 

[Silent Alarm]

I just don't get it. Not long ago people had a dog, it lived and brought some fun but it died and you were a bit sad but that was that. You got it knowing what it was and it's inevitable end that'd come before yours.

People buy these little pugs that have been bread to be cute but the poor ****er's can't breathe properly, have tiny little legs that can't support their weight, and they end up with arthritis and cancers and all sorts of shit because they've been over-bred. If you truly cared for animals, you wouldn't be supporting the culture and industry of ****ing them up so they can look cuter. Who wants to own a dog that snarls constantly because the poor little ****er has a brain too big for its skull or a wind pipe being crushed because the body's are too small?

These days owning them is some status symbol, and beyond an average looking 26-year old single bloke getting a cute little one to impress hot chicks at the park with. They're some sort of endorsement on you as a person, some enhancement on your personality, but also at the same time completely above right and wrong and first in line for everything.

Where I live, people worship these ****ing things. You go down the beach and they use sarcasm to get a dog to come. 'I'm gonna leave without you Rosie, yep, I don't care, I'm going... I'm going...' like it's a six-year old. They chain them out the front of cafés and their leads take up the whole footpath and you're the arseh*le for getting angry when you can't walk. A couple of pubs used to let them in but were banned (big reason is a health risk, second is a dog under a table that you can't see, tripping up people holding multiple big, full vessels of glass). The moral outrage was insane. FFS it's a pub, not a doggy daycare.

I don't hate, dislike dogs at all. I get their companionship and their cuteness and understand they mean a lot to people, especially people who might not have much else that gives a shit for them or that they can give a shit about. But my ****ing god, their cultural relevance is insane.

 

[Scotland]

You're hanging out with the wrong type of people with the wrong type of dogs.

French Bulldogs are the worst. Not only are they ugly, expensive and a horrible status symbol but almost all of them are born via artificial insemination and C-section. That's how low we've sunk.

Just get some non-pedigree dog, give it some pats and throw the ball and you have a new best friend FFS.

I generally feel sorry for all flat faced dogs

I stopped going to my local cafe when I realised they are fine with dogs being inside. Disgusting.

And I agree with most of your post. I don't see why dogs can't just be enjoyed as dogs. We have to attach human emotions, values, morals to them to make them out to be more than they are.

Went to the pub, just had a swim, chucked on some appropriate wares and went down still with a salty mouth. It's like a 35 degree Sunday afternoon. Chick who is always behind the bar is cuddling some slobbery dog in the corner, brings it a doggie bowl full of water, keeps kissing its cheeks, rubbing its face. By the time I'm next in line she's back working and serves me... tap isn't working, so for some reason she taps the part that flows out, it somehow starts flowing again but it's real suddsy and heady. Needless to say her hands are going all over this pint which is spilling everywhere. "That'll be 10."

Clearly has mates there and quickly nicks a couple of chips off their seat at the bar.

Gives my card back.

Not keen that much now aye.

 

[Off The Couch]

So did you man up and ask her for a new one or did you just suck it up and lose your money and your drink

Yeah I would have walked out of there the moment I saw her walking from the dog to back behind the bar. That is really gross and probably against some sort of health code.

 

[Billy ray]

report pub to health dept - that's sick

Or did he just drink it anyway and think man am I going to unleash a wall of text on bf about this later..

Silent alarm needs to get himself a Mastiff or Rottweiler.

Don't let the media fool you, if they're raised right these are two of the most friendly, sooky, loving dog breeds you can have in the household.

whenever I see a woman with a huge dog I can't help but feel she's probably sexually attracted to it

Indeed. Animals are simply not capable of being like humans, because they are not humans.

All well and good that we can feel affection for them, and try to care from them - in some sense, it's actually our responsibility - but it must be kept in perspective.

I wonder how many people act in this way in lieu of having children?

Sure are ugly, though

 

[woota]

I just dont understand why nobody talks about the fact that pet shops are on the road to extinction, just like video stores (pretty sure Blockbuster in morley is the only video store left in perth)? I remember being a kid and seeing local pet shops everywhere. They are now extinct - the only pet stores left now are the big chains like pet city and pet magic.

Tell me how ugly this is.

Edit: unfortunately this doesn't wanna work
