  1. That is assuming that he finds out. I think Brad would be a little more discreet.
  2. Happy birthday!

  5. That is false. Dogs are the only animals that will look humans straight into the eyes. That may seem insignificant, but it is anything but. Humans have a bond with dogs that we can only otherwise have with other humans. That eye contact causes dogs and humans alive to release oxytocin into the bloodstream, which creates the kind of bond that mothers and children have. It is very real and very mutual. Dogs love pleasing humans for that reason. Dogs also seem to form similar bonds with other animals. For example, if you raise a dog with goats, the dog will protect and love the goats, despite the fact that dogs could just as easily prey upon the goats instead.
  6. I love golden retrievers! They're among my favorite breeds. There are the best working dogs. I find them amazing. Shihtzus are high maintenance. 'nuff said.
  7. Are you as hot as Brad Pitt?
  8. I think old people dating young adults that are young enough to be their grand children is the nastiest thing ever. I know that probably sounds closed minded, and it is, but that's how I feel. I would not date a senior citizen at my current age. I have nothing in common with someone that old and usually find them unattractive. I chose within 25 years of my age and an optimal age difference of 15 years. 15 years age difference is definitely my personal maximum. I said within 25 because that was the lowest available number.
  9. Yeah, even at the expensive of his former best friend. He's a piece of shit. Maybe JP will have him taken care of this time around.
  10. Pit bulls do need to be properly trained, and when they are, they tend to be balanced and actually less aggressive than the average dog breed. The problem is that they do pack a wallop. Pit bulls can actually be trained to take down large animals like cattle and horses. It is because they tend to have very stocky builds and are packed with muscles. Because they are a type of bulldog, they have the ability to lock their jaws on the target. If they're taught to go for vital areas like a carotid artery, they are extremely dangerous. They're also terriers, which makes them fearless hunters. At the same time, their terrier bloodlines make them intelligent, easy to train, and eager to please their masters. If trained to do something good like becoming therapy dogs, they are quite gentle and are not apt towards aggression at all. If trained to kill for their masters, they are downright terrifying. The human element is the key to whether or not pit bulls are bad. Unfortunately, the one who tried to attack James' mother was one that was not trained properly. Sometimes I wonder if it's the owners who need to be shot.
  11. I'm not going to bother with a poll, because there are too many dog breeds to list. However, I will list some that people often consider aggressive and a couple that I know can be aggressive. I'm going to share my thoughts on some breeds often considered aggressive along with my opinion and what experts say about the breeds. Keep in mind that I am not a dog expert and that I had to look some of this stuff up. I've noticed that most of these breeds are considered intelligent: Pit bull- There are actually three kinds of pit bulls (see below). These three breeds are often used for as fighting dogs. This fact adds to their bad reputation. It's a sad situation, because it's really not their fault. American Pitbull Terrier- This breed is the one most often called a pitbull. For anyone who's actually owned one (and not taken it to fights), it's known for being fiercely loyal and is actually good around children. They are the largest type of pitbull, but they're still definitely considered a medium breed. They're also highly intelligent and thus highly receptive to advanced obedience training. American Staffordshire Terrier- This breed is actually known to have a better temperament than popular breeds like cocker spaniels, beagles, and collies. They are extremely human-oriented, friendly, and relatively easy to train... hardly a nightmare breed. Staffordshire bull terrier- This is my favorite type of pitbull, and the one I have the most experience with. Again, they're not aggressive (unless trained for fighting). They are extremely intelligent dogs. They're also known for courage, which makes them protective family dogs. I strongly believe that the temperament of any pitbull is dependent upon the owner. If they're treated well, they won't hurt anyone. I'd say it's probably best to keep them away from very small children, as they may not appreciate children rough-housing with them too much. Beyond that, they're actually good dogs. However, it's not recommended to get one with any history of fighting and/or abuse unless you REALLY know what you're doing. German Shepherds- This is another intelligent, strong breed. In fact, they are ranked as the second most intelligent breed behind border collies. It seems that the Germans have created several breeds that are good for herding, and this one is the most well-known. They are often used as police dogs for three reasons: 1) good for advanced training 2) strong and 3) loyal. They're also used as guard dogs for the very same reasons. They're highly intelligent and actually good for children that they know. They're a high-energy breed and should be given lots of exercise (both mental and physical). They also tend to become overprotective if not properly socialized. Rottweiler- Again, this is a German herding dog, one that's known for being energetic and fiercely protective. Generally they're normally well-behaved around humans, especially if they're given something to do. However, they are especially dangerous if not raised correctly as they are very strong. They are in second place as far as breeds responsible for fatal attacks against humans behind pitbulls (not sure which kind). Doberman Pinscher- They were bred as guard dogs. They can, however, be trained only to exhibit aggressive behavior on command and are not aggressive towards their owners. They are considered the fifth most intelligent dog breed behind Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Poodles, and Border Collies. Chihuahuas- This is the one that I would most likely not ever own. For one thing, they are not generally friendly around children. As for their behavior problems, I think (as in all cases) that it is because of bad owners who coddle them and let them get away with stuff that they don't tolerate from larger breeds. That's not to say, however, that it is impossible to have a good one. I've known at least two that were very good dogs, except one of them did bark too much. Dachshund- Although this is one of my favorite breeds, I know that it is not one to raise around small children (as in kindergarten to first grade and below). Dachshunds are impatient and often difficult to train. It's not because they lack intelligence. Rather, it is because they are stubborn. If not raised properly, they will bite people, especially small children. Around people they know and love, however, they are very lovable. They crave lots of attention. I could list others that people think of as aggressive, but I think I've mentioned the ones most generally considered aggressive as well as two (chihuahuas and dachshunds) that often exhibits aggressive behavior even though people often overlook their bad behavior (which includes growling, loud barking, and biting). The bottom line, in my view, is that there are a few main issues when it comes to dogs. 1) Some people don't know how to raise dogs. 2) Some people breed strong breeds like pitbulls and rottweilers for dog fighting, which causes extremely aggressive behavior. 3) Some people neglect dogs. 4) Some people get the wrong kind of dog for their family/lifestyle. 5) People usually decide to buy a puppy first even though a well-balanced adult dog is often a better choice for a first dog as they can help teach the puppies how to behave properly even if they are different breeds. All of these problems I listed are caused by humans, not dogs. I was wondering. Does everyone agree with me, that the reasons for aggression in dogs is almost always caused by humans, either through stupidity or outright mistreatment?
  12. Heh, GFD and Savage Moon are better than Twilight as far as I'm concerned. I always look forward to new chapters. They're my favorites as far as Comicality's stories.

    Yes, I've had it done to me, and I like it. (1 votes [10%]) I can't help but wonder who.

    Dirty Poll #8

    I had mentioned that it's nasty. That should have been your first clue if you didn't know what it was.
  18. Yes, I would follow a straight, sexually active narrator. I'll just skim through the sex scenes. That one sums it up for me. In all honesty, I think the next one should go back to Matt. I find him much more interesting.
  19. Have you ever tried felching? My answer isn't just no but hell no. Felching is rather disgusting in my book.
  20. Happy birthday, Rob.
  21. I'd probably be skipping over all of it.
  22. It was only a hunch, so I checked the site itself. I've been known to do that from time to time. I enjoyed the chapter as I always do. So it seems we've cleared up the mystery of Brad and Robbie's sons as to what floats all of their boats. Will and Drew are going to be an interesting couple to say the least. Could it be that Will is going to be the narrator of the next one? He seems like a good candidate. Oh, and Lark pisses me off. How could he do that? If anything he should be apologizing for what he did before. Instead, he's trying to destroy Brad. I hope he dies.
  23. Chapter 15 is up.
  24. That was a great chapter. I'm glad that justice was carried out. I think the punishment was quite fit. Surely they would have considered death a compassionate punishment. Oh, and now Granger is going to Gibraltar. It is said to be magnificent. Admiral Mann is seemingly grasped by the testicles too, which I'm sure is much to Granger's delight.

    That sounds like a nice chapter.
