Dogs should be Banned

[Australian rePublic]

Cats should be banned because they are very loud when mating and crap in OTHER PEOPLE's yards

[Hurdegaryp]

I think we should have a ban on people who have posted on NSG ever taking an active part in government or campaigning.

Then we'd need a new Vice President.

Obviously.

Well, we can't always get what we need, now can we? Usually that is the fault of other humans, which only proofs that humans are the problem. And problems should be solved permanently.

Yesterday, while I was taking a walk by the harbor, a vicious white dog suddenly barked in my direction.

Oh, we're not talking about unruly children?

Within seconds it was chasing me down the lenght of the harbor and I was running for my life. I never knew I could run that fast but I managed to emerge from the incident, unscathed.

Okay, are we talking about an experience of wandering near gang territory or an incident with a dog?

This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened to me; in fact as a little kid dogs have attacked me on many occasions throughout various cities around the world.

Still sounds you're using "dog" as a euphemism for "neglected children" and the teenagers they turn into.

I also cannot stand the sight of dog droppings on the sidewalk.

So gum doesn't bother you? At least you can get dog poop off your shoe with a few swipes.

I have come to the conclusion that dogs should be banned.

Then let's ban poor people's children while we're at it.

And its not just because I personally don't like them.

Surrrrre.

Here are some reasons why it would benefit public policy to outlaw them.

1. They are dangerous

So are poor people's children.

Dogs are very dangerous because they can bite people.

Children can handle guns, making them even more dangerous.

Owners can try to control their dogs but the fact of the matter is, they can't always keep everything under control; accidents will happen.

And parents can't always keep their children under control. A dog may bite you. Usually, you'll live. A teenager can murder you.

Dogs are a safety hazard, not just to the people who buy them but also to everyone else.

Yet they also keep our homes safe from children who haven't been brought up right by their parents. That's why we have leash-laws and compulsory education.

When guests come to a house with dogs their lives may be in danger;

Your life may be in danger walking through the neighborhood of children who were not given any rearing.

when dogs are taken out for walks, pedestrians are in danger.

If we are going out with a large-breed dog, a lot of us are trying to keep ourselves safe from crazy-ass drug-addicts who randomly mug people. That's why some of us get large rottweilers or pitbulls. Some of us have been mugged before. Some of us have had our houses broken into repeatedly.

Its not right that someone can buy a dog and then endanger other people.

It's not right that someone can have a child and then endanger other people, but everyone gets mad at me when I suggest my idea of requiring people to earn a license, after taking a three-month course, before being allowed to have a child.

The power of dog bites must not be underestimated. Some dogs have so much power that they can bite human fingers off; they are a carnivorous species after all.

So are humans, in spite of contrary claims by vegan zealots, and they are related to some of the most violent, vicious animals on the planet. Chimps rip off the testicles of chimps from rival tribes who happen to wander too close to their territory, in the process of beating them to death. We are a violent and territorial species, and the only thing that makes it possible for us to live around each other for a while in crowded cities, pretending for a while that we are not violent and territorial apes, is the fact that we have compulsory education and force parents to tend to their children.

I've heard some horror stories about dogs going crazy and maiming people.

So the horror stories about human beings going crazy and maiming people don't scare you? That's why we have large breeds of dog, because people don't get enough raising and education to teach them to be civilized, largely because the god damn Republicans keep cutting into education and pre-K childcare.

If a dog attacks you and bites you and then you get infected by disease, you could die if not treated.

If some punk rapes your daughter, she could get a disease that she cannot even be cured of, which would eventually kill her. That doesn't worry you?

2. The Dog Droppings

My city has a law requiring people to pick up their animal's feces, and it is observed pretty much immaculately. I live in a neighborhood that has more dogs than children, and I actually see dead squirrels and other roadkill more often than I see dog-shit. It really changes people's behavior if they've seen a few blue lights go on next to people not observing the law, and it changes your behavior very quickly if you've been ticketed yourself, not because of the fine because it's embarrassing.

I can wipe dog-shit off of my shoe in ten seconds. Chewing-gum is almost impossible to remove, by comparison.

I suppose if you accidentally step on dog droppings you could go after the owner and try to sue him

Okay, so you would actually sue a dog-owner over some feces? You are the kind of person I think we ought to have leash-laws for. That kind of litigious shit is one of the things that makes society a miserable place.

[Lordieth]

Lets ban children. They're out of control, and a danger to others.

I've always said it. If you can't control your pets, then the fault is your own. You're the owner. It's your responsibility. Ergo, if your dog mauls someone because you didn't take the proper precautions, because you raised the dog poorly, then you should be held responsible.

Pet owners whose dogs maul people to death deserve to go to prison for manslaughter by proxy.

[Koopaville]

Can I still put them in my meals?

[Christiaanistan]

Can I still put them in my meals?

Ehh, I don't criticize China for their one-child policy, and I don't criticize the Koreans for eating dogs; but, I doubt I could stomach voting for someone who supported either.

I've heard some horror stories about dogs going crazy and maiming people. If a dog attacks you and bites you and then you get infected by disease, you could die if not treated. Sure, dog owners are liable and you can go after them for what their dogs do. But the system is imperfect (you need to prove stuff, courts are slow). Also, if a dog attacks you and you lose your fingers or a hand... do you REALLY think an owner can adequately compensate you for your loss with money (your body parts are priceless)? If dogs did not exist, the danger would not be there.

2. The Dog Droppings

People have a right to walk down sidewalks and throughout parks without having to worry about stepping on dog droppings. People should not have to contend with these sights. Yes in theory owners are supposed to clean up after their dogs but in my experience, too many owners don't and its costing the rest of us. I suppose if you accidentally step on dog droppings you could go after the owner and try to sue him but there are obviously problems with this (1. the courts aren't likely to award you sufficient damages 2. you don't know who the owner is, you just know that you've just stepped on some serious crap). If dogs were not around in society, there would be no dog droppings. I think we could adopt an approach similar to Singapore, where they have a no tolerance policy towards chewing gum on the floor in public areas with respect to the dog dropping problem.

So NSG, what do you think?

Is it time to outlaw dogs? Make our streets safe from droppings and random dog attacks?

Just because YOU have a problem with something, doesn't mean that everyone else should pay the price.

[Transnapastain]

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.

You my good friend are a retard.

Burn in idiot hell asshat.

Edit, nope, someone got this already, nevermind.

Punks are straight edge individuals, who don't engage in promiscuous sex, drink or do drugs.

[Upper America]

The logic of problem number two would also require that birds get banned. They're much worse, pooping while in flight and getting it on top of cars and your head.

And that story about being chased by a dog? Some dogs are nervous, and will chase you if you suddenly start running. Sounds like you freaked out when it simply barked and it chased you because it thought you were playing or something. Just because you don't know how to act around dogs doesn't mean everyone should be punished. Besides, what harm can a little chihuahua do?

[Wilkshire]

It's the owners which should be banned, not the dogs.

You can pry my dog from my cold, dead hands.

That's both sweet and disturbing. Well done.

[Blakullar]

Let's just ban everything! It'd certainly keep the PC brigade happy.

[Hurdegaryp]

Well, we can't always get what we need, now can we? Usually that is the fault of other humans, which only proofs that humans are the problem. And problems should be solved permanently.

When Hurdey solves a problem it stays solved.

And it can never be unsolved again!

NEVER.

[Dharmaloka]

Dogs are dangerous, I agree because it even bit me.
But their nature is that,
Nature can't be banned
for example if you hit me it's your nature
can I ban you now?
See my nation, Dharmaloka details, you'll understand.

[Farnhamia]

OP by your own logic here is everything that should be banned/exterminated.

1.)YOU, there are 7 BILLION people in this world, one less would mean nothing.(fascists, are scum and should be exterminated anyway (just stating facts)
2.)Art(physical/electronic)
3.)Religion
4.)Race(No real purpose except being a divider for SO MANY different people, we should ban race by your wording)
5.)Guns "we should ban them so another country can EASILY wipe us out "
6.)Sex(we have the ability to clone from a single cell do we really still need this?!)
7.)Food(it has been shown we do not need food to survive so why keep it around?)
8.)Water(^)
9.)Money
10.)Education(people got along fine when they were hunter-gather tribes
11.)Entertainment(this covers anything considered fun by anyone...SO EVERYTHING)
I can go on forever with this list however, I chose not to as i have more important things to do.

We don't advocate exterminating people on this site. Please don't do it again.

[The 502nd SS]

by the way...

I suppose most of the people who oppose this have never been bitten by a dog? It might affect your opinion on this issue I suppose.

I have scars from 10 years ago from where my old dog bit me, but I still love my dogs.

[Gauthier]

Why stop at banning dogs?

BAN SAUSAGES!!
