What planet do you reside on smithy?
A rabid pit-bull only has one solution... SEVERAL bullets to the brain and heart.
So, perhaps??? the analogy is not so sound after all?
No-one wants to see global conflict,.... and if we're lucky the war will be fought on the economic front , principally, so maybe formally wealthy comfy people might go hungry, but what price world peace???
Isn't that an eternal question.?
Wrong, I've seen many pit bulls that are great companions when treated with the respect they deserve ... you follow the rules that apply to him, he won't bite.
And what war? I didn't realise we were at war with anyone. Assange didn't do anything for the good of mankind, I don't believe any of that rubbish for a minute. He did it to build his little empire .. the problem with empire building is that it's never guaranteed and failure comes at a price.
Governments good or bad are voted in by the people to represent them and ultimately they must answer the people they serve, Assange nominated himself as overlord and overseer of everything ...who the hell is he? I certainly don't trust him anymore than I do any politician. .....
I WAS talking about RABID pit-bulls, not well-socialised well trained and well owned pit-bulls.
I don't think Assange is rabid, just foolish
The problem??
those pit-bulls who recognise NO master. Seems you'd be a BAD MASTER .... seeing as you 'd let him set the rules. Not good Schmiddy.
THE RULES WERE THERE LONG BEFORE ASSANGE COME INTO THE PICTURE
If you had a hip replacement, your two bull-mastiffs could turn on you and savage you, just like happened here in QLD recently.
A man had had two B/M dogs since pups. Loved them ...but a week after he got home from surgery, they took him down, and deadly.
If two blokes hadn't shown up by prior arrangement, to look at a sale item, and heard the sounds of the dogs going for him, inside the house, he'd be dead meat now. They couldn't do anything...
They called police, who had to use several shots to disable and destroy the dogs, while the owner pleaded with them not to kill them. He was taken to hospital with grievous wounds to his face, neck, torso, legs and arms. I haven't heard anything further.!!
Seems an appropriate analogy!!!
I'd hardly say the US is turning on it's own populace ... it's actually a terrible analogy ...
...any dog... with no or poor leadership is potentially dangerous.
Like life yeah?
I had a dog with Pitty in 'm... and until he died of cancer at age 10 yrs he was the best dog I had owned.
Like guns, it depends on who is handling them.
Like Governments, it depends who is the power.
And we'all folks, are about to be savaged.!!!
you have every right to be pissed with the government of the day if you think they are doing you wrong ... but that does not give ANYONE the right to break the laws of the country in retaliation
Governments are there to do a job, and sometimes we don't even have to like what they do, but they do it ... who is Assange to say they are wrong? what makes him any different from the nutcase from Norway? he too had a problem with his government ... the only difference is what side of the fence you sit on ... me I think they both are criminals ...we don't get to choose what laws we obey and what laws we break ... no matter how justified you think you are ... otherwise where does it end ... what makes his right to break laws any different from anyone else's?
