As someone who has had to put their own dog down because it kept escaping and causing problems in the neighborhood I just want you guys to know I would gladly murder you if shot my dog just for running around.

Still SMH.

How stupid can people be or get. Murder someone over a dog. Then again another reason prisons are full.

WOW !!

Thanks leswad, hopefully this will end this asinine conversation already!

Yeah it's time for this thread to stop.

Agreed.

What does SMH ,Or SMDH mean?

Shaking my head or shaking my da@! Head

On top of the entertainment, I actually picked up some knowledge out of this thread. LOL!

"Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya"...

You started this crap by threatening to kill someone that kills your dog.
I know you have daddy issues and I pray you get that all worked out but geeze, come back to reality.

Nothing like burying your father for a reality check. Back off man I got more important stuff to deal with.

Pegasaurus, you are totally out of line here!!! The man just lost his father even if he did have a strained relationship with him!!! At least have a little compassion!!! I feel you should apologize for your insensitive comments!!!

Glad you came to your senses and found your father to be important.
There may be hope for you yet.

I think it's your turn now.

Amazing, I can get banned for 2 weeks and on the WOS for "bumping" a classified and NOTHING for threatening to MURDER someone. Maybe time to search for a new place to hang out!

Well...Bye.

I am sorry for your loss.

Real shame y'all can't recognize inappropriate statements when they occur. THE MODS SHOULD BE BE SAYING "BYE" to anyone who threatens murder in a forum such as this. Lots of good people on this forum and apparently an equal number of jack%#s.

I really have nothing to add to this but just wanted to get in on the action before teh thread disappears. Have a good day everyone!
