I think we should try a one week ban on stupid people/bad news in OTT threads. Just good stuff for one week...
Seriously, wtf is wrong with people?

Well, "good" is subjective.
Something I find "good" will inevitably be found "bad" by someone else.

how about a one week ban on posting threads about the news then?

I'd rather deal with subjective "good" than "subjective" bad for a week, or at least try to.
But what I mean is good-hearted stories that shed humanity in a better light. So and so rescued so and so from a pack of rabid wolves. So and so overcame insurmountable odds to achieve such and such. You know, some good old fashioned positive human interest stories.
Stories like that don't make the news nearly as often.
They're out there. Just have to do a little bit extra searching.

Someone will invariably take the side of the wolves and argue that they were just hungry and mis-understood, and that we need to be more tolerant of hungry animals.
And someone will take the side of the insurmountable odds and argue in its favor.
Look, I ain't trying to rain on your parade, and I understand what you want to do, but I just don't see it happening on these forums. I mean, look at the history of this place in just the last 2 weeks...

Kind of like what you are doing now... gotcha.
If that's the case what would we talk about??
You missed this.
Just good stuff for one week...
And the link. Plenty out there when you do a little searching.
Of course, some people don't want to contribute. *shrug* It was more rhetorical than anything, but would be an interesting experiment nonetheless.
Well how about this for good stuff; I'm going to the animal shelter and rescuing a dog this afternoon. It's been six years sense I lost my last one to old age.
See, you know how to play the game!

Unfortunately, it would be a verrrry slow week here.
Back to the article: Out of curiosity, how does one both "resist arrest without violence" AND "assault an officer"? And why is assaulting an officer only a misdemeanor? But the first question is the one that has me really scratchin' my noggin.
Take off running?

But if you "assault an officer", wouldn't that also be considered "resisting arrest WITH violence"?

You're wearing golf shoes and accidentally spike him in the foot when you run?
I misread your question... nothing to see here.

I found three I really wanted. The puppy was only 4 months old and as tall as my knees, 1/2 german, 1/2 husky 23" tall puppy, bad things happen with breakable stuff in the house. The second was a black lab about 3 1/2 but his time in the kennel had made him anti-social. The third Looked looked a red lab but has some pit bull heritage so I had to see if the insurance will even cover the property if the animal is on it. All in all it was a depressing day.
Don't give up, Thunder. You'll know the right one when you find him/her. Heck, they have a way of finding you.

I'm guessing if you punch him in the face and then run when he tries to arrest you, you assaulted an officer and then resisted arrest without violence.
As for good news, I went to a party and there was someone there who I haven't seen in a long time, which was fun. And the party itself was also a lot of fun
Speaking of dogs and adoption there's a pair of beagles running the neighborhood that are puppies. There is a tradition 'round here of us ending up adopting said beagles unofficially when they end up around.
I don't think people get enough credit for things like this. It's a very noble act.

Agreed.

91 when I picked out the last one at the pound, I was walking her around the grass of the shelter to see how she would be on a leash. The dog seemed to be getting overheated as it was also in July another 110 Sac mid summer day so I brought her under a tree and sat down. This 25 lb golden proceded to climb up in my lap and lay down.
She lived till 2005. I think that last day was the hardest day I've ever had. The ex cheating on me didn't hut as much as putting that dog down.
I get that... 100% I had to put my cat to sleep about 3 1/2 years ago. My best buddy for 17 years. People that hated cats loved him, he just was so full of life and personality and he got me through some really dark times. And yes, HE did that. It was easily the hardest day of my life, as well as the following 3 days. I still break down on occasion to this day, and I talk to him and about him to my two new cats.
All my grandparents have passed, I was not nearly as distressed at their passing. My dad is going through brain cancer and it's just a matter of time, and I do not think I will feel that same impact when it's his time.
Animals provide unconditional love. They trust you in ways that no person can. We return that trust and that love.
It's really hard to explain this to people that have not had that bond with an animal. Those that have had that bond don't need that explanation.
Insurance cleared the animal. I still don't see pit bull, one of my uncles says he may be a ridgeback. We picked Abe up at the shelter last evening and the first thing he did was to climb into the drivers seat. Once I got him into the back seat he lay down and never moved. I've never seen a dog this good in a car. He never makes a sound either, I've heard him bark twice, once at a squirrel, the other at my uncles GF, which showes good judgement as no one really likes her.
Cute dog. Awesome story. Made my day.
A fine beast, destined for a life of happiness!

How do you know his uncle's GF is destined for a life of happiness?
Seriously, though: He reminds me of the dog voiced by Michael J. Fox in The Incredible Journey.
I was truly sad the day she got sick, due to her age (10?) surgery was risky, but we decided to go with it. She died when they put her under. I was utterly heartbroken.
Our neighbors dog which had become my dog (a pure bred beagle that they treated like crap through neglect. I raised that dog. I never got to officially keep her.) That dog and my dog were best pals too. We got each other through it I think. A few years went by and my neighbors dog got brain cancer. We made her as comfortable as possible, making sure to see her everyday. Neighbors let her loose on her last day (or she got loose I'm not sure which) and she came over to my house resting under my car where she usually did waiting for me to come out or come home from work. (this was before the doom truck). I knew she came here to die. A friend of mine was coming over, to hang out, he knew about the dog situation and told me the dog was alive still. When I went out to see her about ten minutes later, she was dead. I think that was the single hardest moment of my life. I cried as I buried her in my backyard, and was quite hurt for days afterwards. It still gets me when I go back to that spot in the yard or I look at my Camaro on somedays.
No, she's from Florida.
