You sound irrational too. I think we all are, to a certain extent.

Maturity must be developed. Do you think infants are born with the discipline to study six hours a day?

What's wrong with having compassion for humans AND animals?

I guess if you're religious, you love suffering.

1 Peter 4:16

But if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

Ayame, cut it with the religious crap.
You don't believe that stuff any more than I do.
I am quite the opposite to irrational, ask anyone on the forum.
Now another of life's lesson's for you.
You are born with maturity, and it becomes obvious from whern you are still a child and confirmed as you grow up.
I have seen five year old's with more maturity than a seventy five year old, so no you don't 'develop' maturity, you are born with it.
If you need proof, just look no further than here on OLO.
We have the in house clown and know-it-all, that knows nothing, MrO.
Then there is his running mates, SR, who also see's himself as a source of information, when in fact he is a source of mis-information.
And Paul, who has also, like his mates, always got it wrong.
They were all, somehow, attracted by the dark side, but now maybe they can see that thanks to Josephus alone, and his continual bombardment of the truth behind this GW, CC fraud, that they can retreat and reconsider their position!
I suggest their position be more open to believing that denying this whole farce is more likely than what they have been pushing.

Hey Alison Jane,

"What an inspired song for Dash's farewell.
I am sure a few memories and tears were flowing."

Yes it was a good song, and yes the tears were certainly flowing.
It's a little bit upbeat rather than being so sad and depressing.

My friend played a couple of others but I think that one was the standout.

Hey AyameTan,

"If they loved their dog, why didn't they end his misery sooner?"

Dash's condition was completely different to my other dog, Buddy, and his condition 16 years ago.

Buddy was in the late stages of leukemia, his eyes had glazed, he was bleeding from his privates, his spine became more pronounced and he was starting to have trouble breathing.

Even so, I let him show me when he'd had enough.
And even then, he walked into the vets on his own 4 legs.

Dash was a completely different type of situation.
I saw and spent time with him no more than 12 hours before they found him passed away in the yard.
He didn't seem 100% but he was still happy and playful.
- If he'd have looked like he was in any kind of a serious or dire situation, trust me, I'd have taken him in to get looked at no question.
- But he didn't.

He may not have gotten 'dignity' in the form of being taken to the vets when he should've been, but we did our best to show that he certainly was a loved pet and will certainly be missed.

Dash was only 5mths old. He still largely had the look and temperament of a pup. Growing into a dog, but still in puppy stage none-the-less.
All he wanted was another moments attention and to play.
- Or he'd come and gnaw on your toes or start chewing on your leg.

What does level of education matter?
My IQ's 129, and I think I learned more off YouTube than I ever did at school.

It makes perfect sense to only steal from the rich. It means they'll have less money to elect right-wing zealots.

Ayame, you just keep on throwing up them pearlers don'tcha now.
Keep it up, your well on the way to being ignored.
Although some of your comments are quite funny at times, especially since you are serious when you write them, and believe in what you write.
So it's OK to steal from the rich, you say?
I would really love to hear the reasoning behind that doozy of a comment.
What is wrong with you people?
Just because you can't succeed in your own right, I know, it makes you angry, jealous, and envious.
Your problems are due to your lackings, and stubborn attitudes.
There are many average people who became rich, do you also hate them too?
I'll give you a little lesson on how to become rich just doing your job your doing right now.
Start by not drinking, or smoking, or going to any stupid social activities that cost money.
Don't buy clothing or shoes beyond the cheapest ones you come across.
Forget being a fashion statement, that is a waste of money.
In other words, stop living a life of waste and irrelevance.
I'm not suggesting anything that is not being done over and over.
Those same women, now own one or more properties, and they will be retired long before her and her friends reach menopause.
So the moral is stop blowing money on sh!t, tidy your life and lifestyle up, and the bank balance will rise very quickly.
But if you carry on like the bulk of today's, well there is no other way to put it, sluts, then carry on keep deluding yourself that you're having a good time, but DO NOT bag those who have not lived a life of waste and recklessness, for being responsible, mature and forward thinking, but most of all, which you obviously lack, is discipline.
If you are not disciplined, you will not succeed, in ANYTHING!
Remember, DISCIPLINE!

AyameTan
It makes sense to steal?

Well go on then, go steal stuff.
Go lead a life of petty crime and see how far it gets you.
