#3 Contrast this with the pictures of the US soldier in Iraq rescuing a dog from the river. (Other Rantburgers might remember the large collection of photos from Iraq, the link to which was posted here. For the life of me I can't remember the source right now)

#4 Norwegian soldiers have shot dogs, raped women, cut off heads, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside!!

#5 But, you should see the out-takes. I especially like the one where they frisk the dogs first. If PETA had seen that first none of this would have happened.

#6 "they frisk the dogs first"
Lol, Jack! Must've found something...

The eventual explanation should be interesting. Everyone has their own sense of right and wrong - and JfK's point to keep things in perspective (I assume it is that this isn't a African genocide situation, so take a chill pill - or similar) is well taken, generally speaking. But I happen to differ somewhat about taking life without reason... Humans have all sorts of insane / perverse ideas and, often, they just can't be brought back from the brink -- and you have to treat them as enemies in a kill or be killed self-defense response. But animals? Domestic dogs? Unless these were dangerous feral canines that had reverted to hunting children in packs, then this was pointless casual killing.

[rant]
Personally, if I were King of the World, I'd prolly shoot the Norgs who did this if the dogs weren't proved to be rabid. And I'd apply the same cure to anyone else acting in the same manner.

Casual killing is stupid, cowardly, and depraved behavior. I was raised with guns / hunting and the frontiersman's rule always applied: If you're not gonna eat it or wear it you don't kill it, except in self-defense. And today these make little sense if I'm not caught in a blizzard above the Arctic Circle or similar - and that means I'm a lousy planner and dipshit adventurer that should've stayed home. Screw these gutless turds to the wall.

Don't get me wrong -- PETA? Fuck 'em, they're not heroes -- they're looney-toons in search of a reason for living. BTW, you haven't found it yet, keep looking - 'tards. Move along. Move along.

I'd like to agree with ya .com except for these damn dogs I got. They live for it. I lied I don't agree with ya. Killing bird's is what I was put on earth to do! :> I will admit this this won't do me a damn bit of good above the artic circle.

#8 Shipman, there are lots of geese and ducks above the artic circle in summer. Many moult at this time so its not necessary to shoot them. You can paddle up to them and club them to death.

#10 Do liberals moult?
Ship - I try never to get close enough to find out. Upon reflection, I'd assume that, if they did anything at all, it would be to shed their outer epidermis, like every other snake.
