You guys need to read more stoic philosophy

Also, when the hell have you had to choose between saving two people/animals?

Pets are fine. More people have made the decision to not have children. As a foster father, I think that's a good thing. It's really hard to raise someone who has felt unwanted their entire existence.

Some people would make better pet parents than parents to children.

Cats and dogs are more loving and loyal than any human being.

If you die your cat will eat you within 24 hours. Loyal my ass. They're only in it for food.

I actually agree with TC

I love animals, especially dogs but people who act like cats and rabbits are more important or even equal to human life make me sick

That's such an unreal and downright evil viewpoint to have, I can't help but think those who do are sheltered


I mean from a non-biased viewpoint they probably would be considered equal.


Why?

One has a better sense of smell
The other is superior in every other conceivable way

And if were talking about from the view of nature or something more macro that just a humans viewpoint most animals would probably be considered more important since they arent actively destroying the environment for everyone around them.


Oh fuck off with that shit Scott.
For starters yes they are. Cows are one of the biggest polluters on the planet

For 2, animals are only being
domesticated because doing so benefits the "polluting " society you are poo pooping. Take away that society and these animals are either extinct or ripping each others throats out

3. That kid you let die didnt do shit against the environment. If some random snot nosed girl is responsible for "pollution " because humans did it then you are responsible for billions of counts of murder and rape, a few thousand genocides

The 'logic' would make the fools in Alice and Wonderland confused

So while Im not someone whos gonna pick a pet over a child I also think most arguments for why the child should automatically be picked without question are pretty stupid and dont make much sense.

Why?


Why did you go straight to the environment?

I wasnt even considering environmental impact with anything I said.

What if the person you saved goes on to be a mass murderer or commits genocide.

Or what if they just kill two people accidentally. See we can tumble down this rabbit hole in the name of ethics.

That is such a stupid handwave, hardly anybody kills other people let alone commits GENOCIDE, but pretty much EVERYBODY is vastly more important to other people's lives than pets.

Why is it that people try to resolve their cognitive dissonance by convincing themselves that the person they allowed to die was probably going to be an awful person anyway?


See the problem here is you trimmed the quote I responded to.

The person I responded to used a fallacy and so I used one in turn. I also specifically stated that all it would do is lead to us saying what if.

So yeah, it was designed to be a stupid post. How did you not get that?

I hate when dogs are referred to as "doggos" and I especially hate the doge/cate meme. Hooman speak is irritating.

Pretty much anything surrounding animals like that is just insufferable.

Yeah it's cringe at it's finest but that being said I'd save a human being over a family pet anyday.

I like dogs and all but it seems that social media encourages pet owners to get crazier and crazier.

And yes, bringing your dog into public establishments is disgusting, especially restaurants.

No, you do not need to own three cats and dogs.

Pets are disgusting and you better put in the extra effort to clean after them rather than having them take over your entire living space.

And I'm still convinced that owning cats makes you crazy, neurotic, and rationalizes spending so much on food, healthcare, toys, replacing damaged stuff, etc. It feels like a weird abusive relationship.

I generally don't care whether you'd pick the pet or a child because there's good arguments for both, but people on this board being so dumb that they can't grasp why someone would save someone they know (even if it's a """measly pet""") over someone they don't is always going to be pretty funny

It doesn't matter if you don't know the person. The value of a stranger's life vastly outweighs your dog. A dog does not have near the same capacity for emotion, perception, love, ect.

Who gives a shit

They know the dog, they don't know the child. For all they know, the stranger is a piece of shit to everyone in their surroundings. I sure as fuck wouldn't expect someone to save me over their dog.

When there a signs in numerous places of businesses (even big corps like Walmart) that say only service animals no pets; yes the present society of humans has an unhinged attachment to their pets that is not only disturbing but not well for the progression of society in general. As with all things theres a balance.

I never really got pets to be honest. Like, my parents have a cat that I absolutely adore (I mean, I lived with her for a good ten-eleven years before I moved out) and my friends have great cats and a dog too so Im not an animal hater or anything.

I just dont see the appeal. Theyre expensive as hell, if you want to go on a trip you have to make sure its taken care of, theyre messy etc.

Ive just never had that compulsion to want to be a pet owner.

Good luck to me trying to find a girl who isnt obsessed with dOgGos!

Imagine thinking you wouldn't save your own family over a stranger. Such disconnect.


Let's say you saved your dog over a person. What if that person was a mother, or father and you helped some child become an orphan all over your pet that will die in a few short years. It's sick that you're willing to ruin multiple peoples lives over a pet.


I don't owe anyone else my fucking my life. If it's an emergency situation, and I'm willing to risk my safety for my own family, which includes my pets, then that's on me. And if I refuse to risk myself for someone I don't personally know, then tough shit.

I don't see how that actually responds to my comment, I already know there are lots of people who say they don't care about people compared to their dog.

@UnfairRepresent

Oh shit sorry man I just realized I fucked up earlier. I meant destroying ecosystems, not messing up the environment. I dont know why I wrote that and then still didnt realize it in my response to you.

I meant like tearing down forests and BPs spill in the ocean, shit like that. Thats my fault for not clarifying (or even writing the right term) earlier. sorry about that.

There's this girl I know on facebook who pretty much on the daily posts about how her dogs made her cry because they're cute.

I don't find it wholesome at this point, especially not when every other post is about how much she wants humans to die. That seems like a goddamn disorder to me.
