dogs are only okay.

Dogs are cool but can’t talk back. Pure reason why humans admire. If dogs could talk back, they’d be hella opinionated lol

Same thing can be said about babies.

It bothers me that people get all up in (random) baby's faces and act like IDIOTS. Watch how grown adults act to kids.
If babies could talk, we wouldn't dare do half of the dumb stuff we do to them

 

[cosmiccoffee9]

By human standards, sure.

oh of course, but until further notice the human standard is THE standard.


...unless any other species wish to sign on and dispute me?

U show a baby your teeth, they smile. You show a dog, they growl.

Fire, Wind, and Earth too.

we are discussing complex intelligent (decision making, self-replcating) life forms tho, I'm not sure what contention you're making but am interested in hearing it.

I'm convinced that if dogs could learn to talk like parrots we would have stopped breeding them when we stopped needing them.

Why are we so sure water isn't a complex intelligent life form?

If someone sees you laughing at a playful pooch and decides to label you as flawed, they likely have bigger issues of their own.

Are people saying this though? I think most people here have said that a reasonable liking of dogs is fine. The topic is more geared towards discussing people who do too much when it comes to dogs. Again, you can have a pet without creating Instagram accounts for it, friend requesting me, and spamming my feed with nonstop posts while writing captions from the dog's perspective. You can have a pet without being adamant about bringing it into restaurants, into my home, etc. You can have a pet without letting it @#$@ and piss all over the street that others have to walk on.

we are not, just like no one can prove electricity doesn't have desires of its own.

still, if we're going to have a discussion on the matter, we have to argue from the same set of understandings. as we currently understand it, it is not.

No beef at all, but if folks are going to disrespect dogs, disrespect other life forms that directly mooch off of humans

 

[cosmiccoffee9]

Aquaman is literally God of the Seas.

Superman can bend time and space.

Professor X would destroy his mind from the inside.

hell, I'd take a particularly willful and imaginative GL in a fair fight with the Avatar.

I get what you're saying, but you're going nowhere with that. human babies get the home species discount on all of their wants and needs.

we are biased toward humans, and that's okay.

I was just addressing the possibility of that thought process which getback mentioned in his post

But there's no doubt in my mind that there are people who see an affinity for a canine comrade as a personality flaw

 

[doublemesh96]

Because it’s not. It’s the life blood of complex intelligent life forms.

dogs are your homies !

This deaf dog was made an honorary police pooch after helping rescue a 3-year-old girl who got lost in the Australian bush

 

[cosmiccoffee9]

are we really cherry picking stories of canine heroism? because I'm sure y'all know this selective storytelling could turn the other way faster than a tail chase.

dogs in general are fine. some are exceptional. lots are just there. the people that own them often do too much in any event.

i agree 100%
i work in a children's hospital and i talk to all kids like i would an adult. same mannerisms...i just use words they can understand and speak to them on their level.
babies too..i speak to them normally tbh. moms think it's hilarious.

can't stand people who start using these annoying tones and pitches in their voice and make stupid sounds.
i hear it all day.
"awwwwwwwwwww!!!! i know! i know! whats that? (insert random stupid noise here)!! you're so precious"


but yet and still

Spoiler

pull up.
