Fair enough!

To be fair, that dead unicorn is made of lots of Benjamins.

wow you really need to chill dude. I have 2 dogs who I've walked off leash for almost their entire lives (once they're trained). One is 9, the other 7, and while any of the risks you talk about might happen, I choose to give my dogs a life of freedom and exploration vs. being some sort of slave master. I'm sorry…

You're treating dogs like they're a dangerous weapon. In my unfenced public park, there are anywhere from 15 to 30 unleashed dogs every night. You're much more likely to seriously hurt someone driving your car to work than you are by letting your dog who has never bit anyone run around a public park.

How much is a drove? Can you explain it in standard Airplane-Crashing-Into-Building units for me? So I have a frame of reference.

Lol I did not "invent" a fear of dogs on your behalf. You are definitely fearful of dogs.

lol BTW, Feline AIDS is literally mentioned by Debbie Downer. You're Debbie Downer!!!

Feline AIDS!!!! ANOTHER RISK WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF.

That part isn't saying that calling someone an idiot is a straw man. I didn't invent any actions or beliefs for you, I just impugned your character. Highlighting stuff doesn't make it any more right.

yeah but i just discredited your argument by calling you out for being the fear-based-weirdo that you are (although I'm going to add in /cat-torturer now). I didn't even address your argument. I said "They're a great place for fear-controlled weirdos."

You're perfectly free to continue to be a horrible, irresponsible pet owner

why would I go away? I'm not the one who's scared of the world and all it's "dangers". You're the one who wants everyone to follow strict rules ("If I see you walking your dog unleashed I will call animal control") so that you can feel safe.

lol you're clever for a fear-based-weirdo but my orignal comment that you called a straw-man was all ad-hominem, remember? I said:

Do normal non-fear-based-weirdo's speak like that? Do 2nd graders speak like that?

It's not a straw man. It's ad hominem. I'm saying your argument isn't valid because you are a fearful weirdo who thinks all dogs should be under physical restraint at all times because there's a chance someone might get hurt.

It's an animal, and you can't read its mind.

They're a great place for fear-controlled weirdos.

you must live in such a small fear-ridden world.

and my police won't do anything about it you lunatic because it's legal in my city of 1 million+ to walk your dog without a leash. God, move to a gated community already.

THANK YOU FOR THOSE INSTRUCTIONS. My city's laws allow for a little more leniency, but after hearing your declaration I've seen the light.
