#17  jeeze lotp. Im so sorry for your poor mom. Is she doing better now I hope?

#16  That is so sad, lotp. I'm sure your mother was as devoted to that animal as it was to her. I refuse to treat animals like humans and try not to value them over human life, but people like those neighbors you mention somehow manage to test my commitment. Too bad there weren't some fast replicating parasitic nematodes your dad could have laced the pond with prior to inviting over those bastards for a day's fishing. Evil shits.

#15  My parents had a wonderful Norwegian elkhound, a gift they never could have afforded to buy for themselves, from the breeder who was a friend. Well trained, never left their property, protected my mother on more than one occasion when she was home alone.

Neighbors who lived on the acre+ next door had a habit of getting drunk. Dad refused them permission to fish in the pond he kept for the grandkids and friends. The sons of bitches decided to "get even" by tossing Shadow steak laced with dCon. She died with her head in Mom's lap while Mom sobbed broken heartedly.

I would have killed the neighbors by cramming the same thing down their throats with my own hands if I had been in the area at the time.

#14  I had a similiar situation and fixed it thusly: one live animal trap and bait food; problem animal wandered in, trap shut. 4 days later I let it out. I gave it water; a daily soaking.
No need for a repeat performance.
placing D-con for rat control 'wink, wink' works good also, I am told.
of course all other avenues were exhausted prior to the above.

#13  Zenster - entice a coyote into the neighborhood and the rat dog will quickly disappear in a few bites.

#12  My condolences, Zenster.

I hate those damn rats in dog suits, myself. It never ceases to amaze me that I have a hell of a time finding insurance companies or landlords because of my goofy shepherd/rottie mix, but someone with a sociopathic 7 lb bit of fluff gets the red carpet rolled out for them.

#10  This shows that most pet parakeets have more brain power than this unwashed herd. Not only were they left with a golden opportunity to generate money, but they were left with a guaranteed food supply. All they had to do was maintain. Buuut Noooooo. They had to trash it 'cause it was created by Jooooooosss. These are truly useless fools who shouldn't be wasting our air supply.

#8  Every time something got destroyed, whether they did it or the Jews were responsible, someone else came up with the $ to rebuild it. They never had to come up with the cash or had it deducted from other money that they got, and they never ever were told that acting like that was unacceptable for civilized men & women.

A learned helplessness?

#7  So basically now, you have the equivalent of a little rat-dog owned by some dotty old broad who refuses to see that her little Pookie has problems. It stubbornly and repeatedly fouls its house, and can't be left unsupervised for fear it's going to go off and viciously bite a neighborhood kid. No matter what that evil little anklebiter does, the owner still thinks its "cute" and gets it special treats because no one else understands her precious little psycho.

Swamp Blondie, you've just described to a tee my next door neighbor and her rat-in-a-dog-suit. Except that she isn't elderly and she has turned life in the duplex into living hell. Although the animal doesn't crap indoors, it has "separation anxiety". This translates into two hours of howling, cannoning around the apartment toppling furniture and digging through the front door every time my neighbor leaves this dog-in-a-rat-suit home alone.

Of course, she considers this vivesection candidate to be "so cute" and thinks nothing of tieing it up on the front porch so it can bark, lunge and snap at passersby. A stray Rottweiler turned it into a chew toy and she still persists in leaving the animal out front.

My complaints to her and my landlord have fallen on deaf ears. Despite her leaving this duplex's shared entryway door standing open. Our neighbor hood beat cop even came right up onto the porch and entered her apartment to advise her against this dangerous practice and yet she still persists in doing so. When I chastised her for compromising building security, she threatened me with (essentially false) arrest.

I guess I should think of her as my own private Palestinian, eh?

#3  someone else came up with the $ to rebuild it.

Because the paleo "people" 's cause is at the center of the whole islamic agenda, its nexus; it was so imposed as the sine qua non condition of the Eurabia agenda, has been embraced by the far left (and later was diffused into the left), and is a cause célèbre of the tranzi orgs and their arab sponsors (think UN, formerly intrumentalized by the commies, now a playground of the islam-driven anti-western forces).

#2  Hate to say it, but really, why is this so shocking?

They have been getting handouts for what, fifty years at least. Every time something got destroyed, whether they did it or the Jews were responsible, someone else came up with the $ to rebuild it. They never had to come up with the cash or had it deducted from other money that they got, and they never ever were told that acting like that was unacceptable for civilized men & women.

So basically now, you have the equivalent of a little rat-dog owned by some dotty old broad who refuses to see that her little Pookie has problems. It stubbornly and repeatedly fouls its house, and can't be left unsupervised for fear it's going to go off and viciously bite a neighborhood kid. No matter what that evil little anklebiter does, the owner still thinks its "cute" and gets it special treats because no one else understands her precious little psycho.

The only difference is that maybe you can put the rat-dog down someday, or have animal control come out and take care of the problem. All you can do with the Palis is contain them so that they can't f#$% up the rest of the neighborhood.

#1  Assume that the greenhouses were worth only a MILLION dollars. Now, count the BILLIONS of dollars flushed down the Palestinian toilet.

Try to imagine which of those THOUSANDS of MILLIONS were the MILLION dollars spent on those greenhouses.

Now, consider the many different important global projects that could have been accomplished with all those BILLIONS of dollars.

If there was a just one button I could push to exterminate the Palestinians in a single stroke, you would have to stick burning hot needles into my eyeballs to stop me from pushing it. And I would still push that button.
