#2 "One animal recently shot dead by a farmer reportedly weighed 154lb."
Shot dead with a slingshot or a bow? Or did the farmer somehow manage to keep a gunpowder type weapon in Australia?

#3 I bet it wouldn't be funny if the animal was barking at your door.
Why not try to sympathize? Those poeple are afraid for the lives of thier children, and themselves, and so would anyone human.

#4 I hate it when they call ranchers "farmers". You don't plant sheep seeds or spray pesticide on neat, straight rows of cattle!

Oh, and the obligatory: Super Dingoes--Why do they hate us?

#5 Gentle--Great points! Why don't we convert the dingoes to Islam?

#6 Have any of you noticed that I have never verbally offended any of you.
(I know: You're offended by the mere presence of a Muslim)
I don't think its fair, thats all. (I mean the way you never endingly fail to be polite)

#7 Maybe they ought to turn the (previous news story) "Giant Mutant Ants of Melbourne" loose on them.

#8 Ms. Gentle :

Don't get your feathers ruffled. You are correct on this one.

And, as much as I like dogs, people first! As I understand it, farmers can have rifles / shotguns in Australia, so I think the doggy is in the Ken-L-Ration afterworld with a bullet in his noggin.

This isn't like my German Shepherd who whimpers and sympathetically licks my 3-1/2 yr old son when he cries.

The cartoon caracter I pictured above, in spite of his appearance, is friendly, and on Disney's cable channel.

#9 I know. I never missed watching the gargoyles when I was younger. I got tired of wiating for the end though.

#10 Gentle--It's called "sarcasm". Deal with it. I don't follow your comments enough to bother with really posting something offensive!

#11 Isn't that sweet of you?
I see you managed to follow my last ones very well though.
By the way:
This is not sarcasm, most of you have crossed that line a long time ago.

See? You're catching on already! I'm so proud of you!

#13 Gentle,
this is not a gentle bunch, there are really only three ways (that I've counted anyway) to get good treatment on the forums,

the first way is to base your arguments on cold hard logic and recognizing when others make a valid counter point (even if it does not change your personal opinion). Doing so would gain you some respect and treatment will improve, though people will still jump on your arse if you say something stupid/go crazy. (this stuff really is not out of cruelty, it's in the interest of maintaining high standards in debates that we drive off people who can not form consistent logical arguments)

The second way is to make your comments humor-orientated, this takes you out of the realm of debate and folks will not be ass judgmental (though you will get snarky remarks relative to current events based on past arguments, tho just ignore it every time and they will get bored)

the third (one I frequently apply to my own posts ) is to type up your post and then close the window without hitting 'submit'(this method is important because it prevents you from making an ass of yourself and being "just another nutter" in rantburgers' eyes)

I kinda liked gargoyles too, but it has the same limitations all american cartoons have ( no set story line with an end) so I got bored after a few episodes, ‘s too capitalistic to be any good

anime is where the quality cartoon action is at!

What I should do more often. To avoid the OMGDIWT Syndrome (o my gawd did I write that?).

#20 YIDABOT.

Sometimes the messenger should be shot. It makes perfect sense.

Look at the bright side Gentle. You've yet to be a thread killer. An Idiotarian though, yes!

#21 Not all farmers and ranchers in Australia can have firearms. There was an article posted (maybe here?) not long ago about a rancher in Australia whos reduced to killing injured animals with a hoe because his shotgun had been confiscated. The general population of Australia, so I understand, can not own a firearm of any kind. If I'm wrong on this please excuse me. Gentle, I understan Muck perfectly well. Muck speaks English, he just can't type very well.

#23 Better treatment at Rotweiler? Great god awmighty, those people eat anyone alive that has politics to the left of Genghis Khan. Spit out the bones. Got no sense of humor when someone rags them either. Cruel, cruel.

#24 DB:
Shotgun confiscated?
I thing the Australian Gun LAws are too much, but if you look at the rules, unless that rancher had violated some other law, he should have been able to have a shotgun.
