Agree with all of the above.
The most useless survival technique I've ever seen.
"Oy mate, just gotta have nets on ya at all times, besides the expertise required to piss off venomous snakes and not get bitten..."

No, the judge has no responsibility towards helping anyone. Would you say that a judge should work to convict someone if we all "know" they are guilty but cannot necessarily prove it? Ie. should he help out society to try to convict, say, a murderer?Take OJ's judge, or perhaps to a lesser extent Casey Anthony's. That is a slippery slope my friend. I will say though that he was out of line with his attitude, but we attribute the wrong attitude towards judges.

A judge should take no position. For example, a judge that gives probation over and over again to juveniles for burglary (Their typical charge) is doing them no favor at all because they think the justice system has no teeth. Then when they rape or agg bat, they go from 3-4 months and probation to 25 years. All because of our joke system that encourages leniency the first few times--then ass fucking after that. I see it everyday. If the kids would have some bitten off at the start perhaps they would not be so disrespectful to rules in general (And no, programs haven't worked often from what I see...drug program? Great for a bunch of addicts to get together and, do drugs...)

It would be really tedious picking apart your comment in full. Suffice it to say you demonstrate that you have no clue regarding animal psychology. A couple of points though; Pit bulls, as with ALL fighting dogs were bred for, guess what, fighting. And, though any animal can "turn," fighting dogs have a higher propencity to attack with no warning, which is why so many countries have banned them. You say that you "established dominance" with force (wrong). However, just because you are the alpha, it does NOT apply to other people. I don't suggest you get a child to take its bone away. Dogs, you should know, have a heirarchy structure. Finally; your wife was, you say, maulled? Circumstances? Your son was bitten so the dog was "chained up?" You were attacked by an otherwise docile horse? Well, you ask, what does this prove? My friend, it goes a long way in demonstrating that you, and yours, should keep away from animals.

1. The pup would be what we Australian's lovingly refer to as "a little battler" (typically someone who is deficient in some way but gives it their all).

2. Pit's can be as vicious or as gentle as you make them. The reason they make great fighting dogs is because they are almost undying in their loyalty to their master. They can be treated far harsher than most other dogs, who would either turn or break, and so can be trained to reach heights of viciousness other breeds can't hope to match. This obviously involves a lot of cruelty and it's something I abhor particularly, considering just how loving this breed can be.

3. Our half pit has only snapped at me once (during bone training, where I would force her to surrender a meaty treat frequently to establish dominance so that if someone came close to her while she had one, she wouldn't snap at them). My wife had half her face mauled by a shepherd when she was young even though the thing had always been completely docile. My son was bitten by his great grand fathers yippy mini dog who we had to chain up because it kept coming at him. My aunty had a horse who was so gentle blind kids rode it who tried to kick and bite me... What does this prove? Abso-fucking-lutely nothing, dogs are animals and animals may turn, often without an obvious reason why. It's part and parcel of owning pets, acknowledging there is a risk.

4. People who can't watch a harmless video about a puppy (typically videosift gold) without bitching about dog breeds really need to watch the video again and appreciate teh funneh...

Funny. no one is saying we shouldn't cut spending. It seems rather arbitrary for you to say we should cut spending FIRST. Why can't we do both cut spending and tax increases? Why should it matter what "order" they go in? Rational people would hit it from both ends.

Or are you just playing childish partisan games again. Even the right is finally breaking ranks and giving the middle finger to Grover Norquist. So your opinions are in the minority and as you well know, the minority opinion doesn't go far in a democracy.

The reality is that the tax burden on the wealthy has declined steadily over the last few decades. The economy was doing great when taxes were higher, so your argument does not reflect reality as usual.

looks like you've bitten off more than you can chew again.

I don't get it, I tried rubbing my cat's tail like that and all I got was bitten.
That's why the title has "JUST RIGHT" part.
Obviously you didn't do it right. Go back and try again.

Next time try using your hand.>> ^00Scud00:

No riskier than lethally high doses of gamma radiation or being bitten by radioactive spiders I suppose.
Walking through a rain storm covered in the stuff would be interesting, I could imagine a spray-on umbrella would be pretty cool.

Last time I was in Thailand, you could get a shot of whiskey mixed with snakes blood and if you were really insane they'd add a drop of venom to it. Apparently the alcohol does something sciencey to the venom.
My take on this was to spend my entire time there drunk on the off chance I got bitten.


actually the difference between venom and poison is the fact that it has to be injected directly into your bloodstream to take effect. assuming you don't have any cuts in your mouth, you can (but probably shouldn't) drink it.

Oh my god...that's...how does the body fight that?!??!


By running away before you get bitten.

As someone who has been bitten by a greedy puffer fish, I probably would have spent a good minute laughing at it first before I felt bad and removed the hook anyway. These guys aren't so innocent and sweet.

the rat had rabies and the cat had to be destroyed after being bitten
