How is this different from dogs? Dogs still knock crap over, tear sh!t up, and tear up the yard. Most dogs just can't/won't get on the top of counters and shelves, so they have less opportunity to knock small stuff over.

Disabled person in need of trained dog + an open flame = an accident waiting to happen.
The idiot should've used lightbulbs, it's just a shame the dog had to die and not the owner.
Yes because it's not dangerous to leave an open flame on a flammable surface with small animals in the house when you cannot even get out of said house in an emergency without the aid of a dog. :roll:Originally posted by: Thraxen
Oh come on. Candles aren't really all that dangerous. The biggest problem was placing it near highly flammable materials.

It was obviously not properly placed, and if you had read the article you would see the cat knocked it over.Originally posted by: Thraxen
Ummm... read my post again. I clearly said the problem was placing it near flammable materials. A candle properly placed poses vitually no threat, even for a disabled individual.

Dogs rule!
Not in this case. If the dog were smart he would have left the cat in there.

Small, furry animals + open flames = accident waiting to happen if you cannot even stand up in an emergency.
Like I said, should have been a Darwin award.
for the dog, your owner was a pea-brained idiot.![]()
I never said that disabled people shouldn't use candles. :roll:Originally posted by: Thraxen
Yes, I know all that, but that wasn't even what I was commenting on. I was commenting on your statement (which you've made a couple of times) that a disabled person shouldn't use a candle. I simply argued that candles are relatively safe and I don't see a problem with a disabled personing using them. They just need to be placed properly.

I said that a.) being disabled and leaving an open flame is an accident waiting to happen and that b.) being a disabled owner of small animals and leaving an open flame is an accident waiting to happen.

No disabled person in their right mind would use candles in the knowledge their movement would rely on the intervention of a dog in an emergency, that's just an accident waiting to happen.

LOL... whatever. That's exactly what you are saying. Earlier you said:

Which translates to: "Only a crazy disabled person would use a candle". Which makes rather clear your opinion that and disbaled person shouldn't use a candle... which is what I disagreed with.
