Dogs should be Banned

[The Floating Island of the Sleeping God]

Just so we're all 100% clear, this is poorly-constructed satire of gun control advocates, right?

[Sun Wukong]

Dogs are not NECESSARY for a society to function. We can easily envision a society without them that is safer and still livable.

Careful now. You just inadvertently argued for your own execution.

[Onocarcass]

I don't post in NSG usually anymore, but this was so out there, I had to.

I don't agree with any of your points. Yeah, they're dangerous. So are stairs, and people are dangerous. So, your going to outlaw people next. People are more dangerous than dogs, they can use their minds and opposable thumbs to do things dogs can't. And dog droppings, really? That's a reason? I can't even tell if you're serious now.

yes many things are dangerous to society, but many things are necessary for society to function.

For example, you mention stairs. Yes stairs can be dangerous but they are a necessary aspect of many buildings.

Dogs are not NECESSARY for a society to function. We can easily envision a society without them that is safer and still livable.

Technically stairs are not necessary for society to function.

Yesterday, while I was taking a walk by the harbor, a vicious white dog suddenly barked in my direction. Within seconds it was chasing me down the lenght of the harbor and I was running for my life.

Its just a dog. Kick its ass.

I was worried that if I did so one of three things might happen.

1) I miss and then the dog bites the hell out of me, doing me serious damage (and perhaps even killing me if it manages to get my neck)

2) I hit the dog, the dog quickly recovers, and then ''1)'' happens

3) I hit the dog and damage it, nullifying it as a threat. The owner is outraged and then takes ME to court over the property damage done to his/her dog. Its a very litigatious society this is not unheard of. I don't want to waste my time in court.

Whilst cats are most obviously superior, I wouldn't support banning dogs.

Stairs aren't necessary, we have ramps.

Also, dogs aren't necessary to society, that's now the reason. Well how 'bout we ban phones, we don't need phones to live and some doctors say phones cause cancer. Also, aren't dogs used by police. I thought they were, and they actually served a purpose. Mind must be playing tricks on me.

I hope so I mean, it's just a dog. You're a primate, you could kill most any dog with your bare hands if you really had to. Besides, you get chased by a dog and don't like dog shit so we should ban dogs as pets? What?

I assume you don't have a dog. Dogs are wonderful pets that can bring love and joy. There is a reason why people have dogs, they are wonderful. Definitely worth a few dog droppings on a sidewalk.

An example of satire, or a case of a person with odd views.

You aren't necessary for society to function either.

Let's ban you from society.

Or you could stand your ground and simply stare that bitch down. Carry a knife on you so that if a dog or person ever fucks with you you can respond in full.

Honestly, protect your own ass. The world isn't one big playground where everything is cushioned.

Toughen up.

[Norstal]

How do you ban dogs?

and if you're not an owner? why should non-owners have to deal with these externalities?

Congratulations why should we ban dogs again?

Certainly works.

It is a dog. A full grown male pit bull weighs as much as a 5th grader. Just turn around and punt its head. If his owner sues you sue them for being a terrible owner who put the public and you in danger.

[Fascist Russian Empire]

And do what with them? Kill them all? Send dogs into slaughterhouses and use them to make meat? Last time I checked, animal cruelty is a bad thing.

Yes, dogs can be dangerous; so can humans, and humans cause a lot more deaths to other humans than animals. Just because a very minuscule portion of the deaths and other accidents in the world are because of something doesn't mean that something should be banned; cars, electricity, planes, and all kinds of other things that do good things of all sorts also cause the occasional death or two, but they obviously shouldn't the banned.

The fact of the matter is that oddities and isolated incidents don't justify radical, far-fetched pieces of legislation. The vast majority of dogs aren't going to seriously hurt a human in their lifetime, and getting rid of all dogs just because of a minority is almost as ridiculous as calling all Muslims terrorists because of the Jidadist minority.

Stupid idea, shouldn't be done.

Get a dog to protect you (one of the handy things dogs can do!)

[Nazi Flower Power]

Dog bites someone- worst thing in the world, the dog must be put down

Cat scratches someone- lol just being a cat

Cat scratches do a lot less damage. I knew someone in high school who had a big chunk of her lower jaw bitten off by a dog, ended up in the ER, and will probably have big scars on her face for the rest of her life. Cats don't do that.

There are things called handguns.

They shouldn't. That's why many boroughs have a fine in place for owners who don't pick up their dog's droppings in public places.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Can some dogs be dangerous? Yes. Are all dogs dangerous? No. Besides, the training is dependent on the owner.

The droppings? Ever heard of doggy potty bags? If you haven't, here. Inform yourself.

Planes are dangerous too. Should we ban them?
