Pokemon Umbral Theatre 28: Prepare For Trouble... - Page 12

Hehe, pokemons and real life animals are really quite different when you consider the former's capability to understand human speech which enables the possibility for negotiation. Plus, pokeballs are easily more manageable than leashes and a good deal safer for handling dangerous pokemons than leashes are for dogs (Seriously, some dogs like my sisters dogs have POWERFUL necks that render them pretty close to useless unless you're a body builder)

Either way, in real life, I'd advocate control first and destruction second. But it's the owners that drive me angrier when it is due to their neglect that they become aggressive. It's really a big responsible owning an animal, especially one that can easily maim or kill another.

If you want to deconstruct it though, that sort of situation is what happens when someone adopts an animal pretending to imagine that owning an animal would have the result of a Renny-ish situation where their life is "magically" made better in every way without actually taking the sincere and lifelong effort to raise them with dignity (something which most children do when they dream of their first pet). In short, if you expect results like Renny when your attitude or discipline is similar to Charlotte or Impact, it's bad for the pet which may then lash out on those around it.

In all honesty, I'm a Renny for cats. I'm somewhat allergic to them, but they are friendlly and affectionate to me and I take care of them all the same back. ^^ I even had one catch a bat for me and present it as a gift. <3
But other animals... eh. I'm more of an Impact, (and a Charlotte for ill-trained dogs).

I assumed myrie did it. oh well

Okay, wow.

Yeah, see, the biggest detriment to Renny doing anything right is the player behind him.

Anyway, I'm going to assume now that Menarker once owned a dog when he was a kid, forgot to take care of it and the little bastard bit him for being a shitty owner and that's why he hates dogs.

It doesn't apply to Impact. But that's only because Impact and Geminex are the same person.

And, I dunno, maybe not Bard either?

Nah, Bard can be pretty awful. You just don't know him like I do.
Mind you, he doesn't actually want Charlotte to do anything right so that works out.

Also, cause Impact is no longer my character. Or had you forgotten? I wouldn't blame you.

Actually, my family owns several dogs. And I've been respectful of my pets (and they never starved).

I dislike my family dogs beside the fact they have piss and crapped on the floor at times (which I had to clean up several times) and otherwise cause me large measure of annoyance with constant barking when children are asleep and being under my foot when I'm carrying heavy fragile items. The cats are a lot smarter and cleaner and quieter.

So I've grown to dislike all dogs that are not trained to absolute perfection.

Yeah, I'm not sure which response I want to go with. There's just so many, Christ, Gem.

Wow.

What, that's it?

You're a whiny little bitch? That's why you hate dogs?

I mean come on, man, everyone who's ever owned a dog or been near a dog can say that and not all of them hate the little bastards.

I go through that and I do hate 'em, but I'm not everyone.

Menarker · 07-10-2011, 01:04 PM

Nah, it means deep down... I'm just like you...

Crap...

Anyhow, I never wanted another dog when they passed away of old age. I didn't want to go through it all again and didn't want to deal with the responsibility since I was going to be busy with school. My sister was inconsolable though, so the family ignored my warning of not buying a pet out of emotional grief (THEY BOUGHT TWO!), and now most of us are hating them every time they act up. And I'm shouldering part of the burden to take care of a responsibility I never intended to have and knew in the first place!

Dracorion · 07-10-2011, 01:05 PM

Yeah, you gotta hate it when arguments backfire.

Menarker · 07-10-2011, 01:10 PM

One could also look at it another way and say YOU are just like ME.
