See, this is what I don't like, placing other animals above humans. So if they were booting around a month old baby human, you would show more tolerance? give me friggen break.

Honest questions for the folks who responded saying it's no big deal or that they got a laugh - do you live in a trailer park? In the south/midwest? Younger than 15? Single parent? Ever had your IQ tested? What was it?

I'm making no insinuations, simply wondering about a few theories I have and asking honest questions in hopes of honest answers. ie. I'm not insulting those who are young, live in trailer parks, etc.

Who are you talking about? Only one post says it's no big deal, and it's clearly a parody, making fun of those who have that attitude.

Edit: I take it back, missed notfred's post

How can you look at that picture of that poor animal and post a comment like that? DEJA VU?

It's a picture. Of a dog. A dead dog. On another continent. I'll agree that there's something seriously wrong with kids using a puppy as a soccerball, but WTF am I gonna do about it? There's absolutely nothing I could do, so I'll just make tasteless jokes. If losing sleep over the whole thing makes you feel better, you're welcome to continue doing that.

Every time there's a video posted here in which a person gets injured/beaten/mistreated, the response is generally along the lines of, "OMGWTFPWNED!!!".

They generally deserve it.

I think he means adults, and I agree. Dogs are a lot like children (minus the mean streak) in that they're helpless to avoid it or fight back and rarely deserve it or are asking for it when life sh*ts on them.

Most of the time the pretext is left out of the video completely and you can't tell at all whether they were asking for it or not.

When it's someone who wasn't asking for it the attitude generally isn't disrespectful. For instance there was a lot of ":Q" over the clip of that Plymouth running the red light and hitting an SUV, causing it to nail the guy who was crossing the street, but no "LOLOLOL HEE WUZ PWNZOR3D!!11!!1111".

BTW aren't you the same guy who wrote a script to kill someone's bandwidth who was hosting a video clip for AT because you were bored? :roll:

And I didn't write a script to kill his bandwidth specifically, I wrote a script to repeatedly download a file he posted a link to. And I didn't do it because I was bored, I did it because he posted a video in a zip file. And that's really not relevant anyway. And I know you're not supposed to start a sentence with the word "and".
