You are an idiot.

Typical childish and inappropriate labeling of someone with an outmoded term for a minimal IQ level of a human.

I happen to believe that (at least some) dogs have much more intelligence and range of emotion than many of us give them credit for. A dog who engages in a self-rewarding behavior such as digging into trash may know that it is a "bad" behavior that may have negative consequences when it is discovered, and may very well expect punishment (or disapproval) when his/her pack leader returns, and exhibit signs of contrition.

Why not actually discuss this subject and offer examples confirming or rebuking the original premise, rather than resort to a juvenile exclamation intended to provoke more negative response rather than a rational discussion.

Paul and Muttley



Because she has nothing else to add. Out of words and opinions, she resorts to personal attacks. I mean, I could not possibly be right! Not even when I'm right.
