Omahawg: shiat is like pate, i'm a telling you. on crackers. or those little loafs of rye you use for spread but not like your mom spread but like cream cheese spread which is kind of the same thing anyway,

Read this five times and I still don't understand what the fark you were trying to say.

propasaurus: I'm surprised they're not serving homeless people as pet food.

Not yet. Maybe after Republicans get rid of Social Security and Medicare.

ThrobblefootSpectre: doloresonthedottedline: It's sad when homeless people, who struggle to provid for themselves, still make better pet owners than a lot of people.

You think it's sad if homeless people are good at something?

Clearly. I mean I couldn't have meant that it's sad a person who can't even provide a home for themselves and likely struggling to find a constant source of food could place feeding a dog nearly as high as feeding themselves, while middle class assholes leave their dogs chained in the yard without food, water or veterinary care until they're walking skeletons.

It isn't sad that one person without means is "good at something." It's sad that people who could so easily provide for animals they've intentionally taken in still just let them waste away right outside their window. Have some relatives that left a purebred Siberian husky chained in their yard without feeding her until, even with all that fur, she looked like a skeleton. When she died, they insisted something was wrong with her to have caused it, despite recognizing that they'd each assumed someone else was feeding her for a minimum of weeks.

I can vaguely remember watching a training video when I worked at a department store, and what stands out is the narrator's explanation of why pet food had to be treated like people food (don't store it near chemicals, etc.) Not to keep from killing pets, but because "during harsh economic times many people buy pet food to feed themselves or their families." It was the uncaring matter-of-factness in the narrators voice that made it stick. Or maybe it was the insinuated threat: "Follow the rules or your ass will be on the street begging for 49¢ to buy yourself a can of Alpo."

It's sad when homeless people, who struggle to provid for themselves, still make better pet owners than a lot of people.
