Animals vs humans round 2

[livingzuid]

I was enjoying our previous debate started by Fifi. Not sure if we were done!

AIBU to think if faced with choosing a pet over a human (even if a stranger), you should choose the human?

The idea was brought up in another thread and put in life or death situation. Building on fire contains your pet and a stranger. You could only save one, who would it be?

I had a dog, Ralph, I cried my heart out when he died 3 years ago. The only dog I wasn't scared of! But I can't imagine leaving a person to die instead, no matter how my heart would break.

I think most parents would become a bit abusive upin discovering their DC had been left to die

In that case; I take it your DCs have never heard of Jimmy Saville, Josef Fritzl or Ariel Castro; or any of the other sick people who could have been the stranger.

Here's the 40% link from the previous thread.

I'm shocked that 40% of the population is so warped in its thinking. When I first saw this thread title, I thought it was a total no brainer. I can't believe people have been arguing for two days about it.

I think most parents would become verbally abusive upon learning their DC had been left to die

'I must have missed that post'

If you want to go back and enjoy it Curlew is the dog killer and I think Back was the 'hold the handle and stop them escaping' poster (I think she saved it with an I'm joking at the end!).

How can you (general for the 40%) expect not to be judged when you are happily saying you would watch my child (or anyone elses) burn and die whilst you save a poxy dog?

I mean seriously? It's immoral and just wrong and a horribly twisted view to hold.

On that note, I suppose you would be completely understanding and forgiving of a friend who rushed into their burning house and dragged out their dog, whilst leaving your child to burn?

Jimmy Saville is already dead

People who disagree with you are warped MardyBra? Warped means that they are abnormal or twisted, just less than half the population can't be abnormal.

FFS most people aren't Jimmy Saville. Why bring him up again. What a warped view of humanity you must have.

"Children have a habit of getting to the bottom of moral questions and getting the answers right."

They also have a habit of throwing tantrums if they can't find Flopsy Bunny and squidging their hands in their own pooey nappies. I won't be taking a child as my life coach any time soon.

"In that case; I take it your DCs have never heard of Jimmy Saville, Josef Fritzl or Ariel Castro; or any of the other sick people who could have been the stranger."

Ha ha ha, that is a joke? Right?

Yes, I think it is twisted thinking. Although not necessarily abnormal.

For the first time, I understand why some people are so vehement in asking for a hide poster button now.

I'd like to dig into the methodology of that research.

I think that there are far more 'human savers' calling others evil/wrong/immoral/warped/twisted than there are 'dog savers' doing the same. Why do you feel you have to justify your opinions with so called 'facts' (that are actually just more opinions).

I'd also like to say that the only dog I would ssve over a human would be my dog, as she is the only one who is a member of my family.

"I think that there are far more 'human savers' calling others evil/wrong/immoral/warped/twisted than there are 'dog savers' doing the same."

That's because you have no arguments against what we are saying because we have the moral high ground. Most of Team Pet are accepting that they are acting selfishless. Selfish = immoral = lost argument.

Selfishly. SHIT.
