  • The best dog I ever had was a pit. Sweet as pie, just wanted to cuddle and love. We chose him because he was a big meaty guy with the most adorable face you’d ever seen, and because he needed a home ASAP. We’d take him on walks and people would cat call him from passing cars, or literally stop us and ask if they could dog-sit. He spent nearly a decade with us, just loving and farting and cuddling and snoring.

    He really didn’t need any help to become a great dog, except that I needed to train him that the cat was a friend and not something to chase and put our mouth on. That took all of a weekend, and that was after he’d been abandoned and abused for half a year before we got him. I know it’s not true for every individual, but many times all a dog really needs a a good home with people that love it.













  • for people who aren’t paying taxes to fund it.

    Yeah, no fucking shit man. Homeless people don’t have the money to pay for things. Everyone has the right to exist and it’s entirely reasonable to collect taxes and use them to pay for things that are a net benefit to everyone, like sanitation services for homeless people. Unless you want to help dismantle the entire system that allows money to get funneled into the hands of a few people who then hoard it like dragons, leaving everyone else to make do collectively on the ever-shrinking fraction of the GDP that’s left, how about you grow some empathy and punch up instead of down?
