Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / Re: Miranda Devine: We’ve finally found an issue that unites the country — Trump’s potential VP pic
« Last post by Right_in_Virginia on Today at 05:59:43 am »
Who allowed her to tell this story while channeling Paulie "Walnuts" Gaultieri?

Did her editor never hear of the words "difficult decision",  "no choice but to euthanize the dog"?  And I would like to know who thought shooting a "PUPPY" had a reassuring feel to it.  Everyone involved in this is an idiot.   **nononono*

Pro-tip to the editor(s):  Don't tempt fate ----- stay as far away from that gravel pit as humanly possible.    88devil

Townies just don't understand. When a dog starts killing livestock, it makes them almost seem to regress to a wild and feral state. They get mean and will do exactly that. From there the bloodlust gets completely out of control.

They also tend to start running with other dogs in packs like a street gang, and they won't care what it is they go after. Seen it more than once back in the day. Next time it's somebodies little girl that gets mauled.

One of our dogs got into killing pigs when I was a kid, and he wasn't the same after that. Very aloof and not nearly as friendly anymore. One night he didn't come home, we figured a nearby farmer ended him.

Might have been me...  :whistle:


I live in the goldielocks zone for feral dogs and cats, and take the weight of all the predators trapped in town and 'let go' out in the country.

You get out in the hills a ways - Too far to drive - and suddenly all those unwanted animals go down to normal levels... But right outside of town, to about 5 miles out, well we get to be the 'beneficiaries' of the town folks good intentions...

Don't matter much. They just get a dirt nap. But it would surely be a blessing if the townies handled their own dang business.

I lied.
Buffet in an interview says he pays on average 17.4% in taxes while his staff pays between on average 32-35%.

Like I said before, you are being intentionally obtuse.  Buffet is including capital gains which are not included in his adjusted gross income.  I can only tolerate 'stupid' so far.  Even less when a poster is doing it on purpose.

I also find it amazing, Forbes, Business Insider, WSJ, Motley fool, Bloomberg  CNBC, State Street, Mornngstar , Chrles Schwab on and on  believe the propublica figures and have used them for articles but you do not.

The articles clearly state that the assessment is based on a hypothetical outside of the current tax code.  But you knew that already.  Yet here you are intentionally playing 'stupid', because your emotional well-being can't handle accepting the truth of you being dead wrong.  Not to mention that you lack the humility as well.  But hey, keep playing that class-envy card while at the same time bragging about how well-off you are.  But your bullshit won't fly here.

When she tried to correct the dog, it BIT HER!!!

Why is that being ignored???

This is not tolerated in my household, nor any others I know of. It is the Capital crime.
End of story. Dog gone.

If going skilled trades go union. Union trades pay the best- most people going into skilled trades are going that route  And recommended go industrial commercial and Unions have the best apprentice programs . Trying to get my 20 year old nephew to go this route. He is aimless right now

A friend's son is a union lineman. 3 or 4 years in and made $168k last year, 25 years old - lots of overtime due to weather

HELL NO.

Bill Gates said he pays on average 18% a year in taxes (gates said he paid 10 billion in taxes over the years-I thought it was 10% tax rate but it was 10 billion when I went back to look at it. Sue me. )  and said he would be ok with paying more even 20 billion.

Bezos accountant should be fired  lol
