10. If you are one that ACTUALLY is/was there, i apologise.
Edited on Thu May-05-11 02:59 PM by karnac
only an ASSHOLE would claim they were (but weren't) for their own political reasons.
since very few(one in a thousand of civilians and NOT ME(i was willing but blind in one eye))
sadly, it is all to easy to claim without proof and willing to pay the repercussions.

16. Our cats are too lazy to be anything but pacifists. And, they're Gandhian Anarcists.
Like me.

21. its the reason i wont have a cat.. to scared for the birds.
poor litte things have it pretty tough as it is.. last thing they need is a killing machine in thier yard.

with the dogs theres no problem they even leave the babies alone when they are trying to learn to fly. flopping around on the ground lol

at my house, there is a cubby hole where they congregate and have babies. problem is they drop their poop where it disintegrates my house.

12. My cats are puzzled...
why those dogs do what humans tell them to.

I, however, think those dogs are fantastic!

23. cat fufill a personal need of ours.
thats we LOVE them. they suck up to us when give them something material, doesn't matter if we actually paid for it(the rich maybe). when it'sw hard where are they?

dogs, when they love us will jump into the raging fire and pull us out.

14. I was just going to post this myself until I saw that you already had.
I hope that we can get more information soon about the dog that accompanied the Seals on their Bin Laden raid. He or she will undoubtedly go down as a real hero.

20. Dogs that I have lived with seem to have a sixth sense.
That dog might not have known the specifics but she/he probably sensed danger in that situation and in the face of that showed bravery.
