Re: The Ulthuan Jacuzzi - Come Relax!

The fact this is still around since I was last here really emphasizes that jack shit all has been going on here. Comforting to know.

I was at rank 1 diamond for a little while. Then the stat reset hit. Then my wireless modem decided it didn't like me and I lost 15 straight games to disconnect. :P

There hasn't been much new between. :/ Guess it's a slow year, what with the economy and all, or something like that.

If it really bothers you, you should try to master nydus worms. They let you bypass choke, but are hard to use, and rarely used. I've never seen anyone do it, but if I were to try it, I would open with a strong push of banelings, blow their supply, production and tech, then poke in with your zerglin...

Most zerg are forced into outmacroing the hell out of the other guy, using mutas to harass workers and deny expansions, and basically wait until the other guy starves to death.

Re: The Right to bear mutts.

Re: The Right to bear mutts.

If your dog bites someone who enters your property, it is your damn faulth. You cannot expect for example a child the age of say, 9 to be under constant supervision, no matter how good the parents are there are times when it won't be under supervision, and if a kid who accidentally threw an frisbee...

Re: The Right to bear mutts.

As discussed in my previous post under Scottish law you are responsible for your dog at all times, no matter where it is. A dog should never be in a position where it is allowed to attack a child. There are circumstances where it lessens the fault of the dog, but it is always the fault of the dog o...

Re: The Right to bear mutts.

I was completely unaware those were the two choices being discussed. It certainly is. A parent that lets their children completely free roam into a backyard with a dog, out a window, or into traffic is a completely shite parent. Sure, put the dog down if it's serious enough, but honestly I'd want a...

You, as a parent have an obligation to ask if you can get it, and I have an obligation to give it back to you. You can't just trespass whenever yo...

If a child jumps into your garden and gets bitten it's tough titties? Rubbish. Child > Dog. Sorry. What if the child is permanently disfigured for chasing his frisbee over your wall? If your dog got out of your yard and some child kicked it unprovoked just because it wandered into his yard, you'd b...

Most countries, a guard dog licence and a standard dog licence are one and the same. You just need a sign.

Re: The Right to bear mutts.

I don't own him as a guard dog, and he hasn't been trained to attack. That being said, I know he is weird around strange men. The reason he is on his line is so that he can run around and get exercise, not to be a guard dog. Personally I would think that if you put up a sign "my dog may bite&q...
