no... you called everyone pathetic first. then you backpedalled and said you weren't that serious (how serious were you), then you started up with the pathetic bashing again.

yeah, it's your cause, and a good one, but please don't be calling out the forum for not posting or donating enough.

my point was that rather than donating money to a group or shelter, my wife and i prefer to help the abandoned animal population by bringing them into our home and making them a part of our family.

i personally prefer to help a needing family and not an animal. there are people out there that are dying from the cold weather... how about them?

we gave gifts (new clothes, shoes, etc...) to children in several needy families via the "giving tree" program. we also donate a **** load of ours and our kids used clothes and jackets every year to good will.

people have something that abandoned pets do not, it's called "free will". any person of legal working age is more than capable of finding a job in this country making minimum wage. while that wage will not buy them a house and a new car, it will put a roof over their head and food in their stomachs.

animals do not have this luxury when they are adopted by idiots only to be put out on the street to starve or get run over when the novelty runs out.

If you guys knew me like most of you guys do, you'd know I don't seriously insult people for something like this... Perhaps I should have added a smiley face or something.


This thread did open my eyes up to something however, and not because of this thread, but over the last months I have seen more and more bashing then I have ever seen on our forum... I expect that sort of stuff from NAZIOC, but not BAIC. Remember, Im not referrring to this thread alone, its been threads from months back where members just bash and bash for no good reason. Its not what this forum is about... So next time you are tempted to go off on someone because their English isn't the greatest, or you just feel like making someone feel like crap, remember that this is our place to share info, be friends, etc... All you are doing is bringing us down to the level of NAZIOK.

When I said what I did about the pathetic remark, I wasn't singling anyone out, I was being sarcastic that no one had ever replied to the thread which is why I made it sticky, then some one bashes me because I made this stick and apparently I was abusing my mod powers.

Every time there is a charity or something of this sort there is a sticky thread about it. To say that a moderator is abusing his mod powers because he made a sticky thread to do a donation drive for the animals is the most pompous thing I have ever heard. I would have used a harsher word then pompous, but I wanted to keep it civil.

PS: Ive always been a cool moderator and always avoided giving points, etc...
this is how you guys treat me? I wish I were one of those people that could forget things... But thanks, I really appreciate the kind words all because I tried to save the lives of cats and dogs... I make one lame comment which wasn't even of the serious type, if you knew me or my online persona on baic you'd know... Its probably because everyone in here is a n00b? I dunno

But I give up thanks to you few haters. Happy holidays to the dogs and cats in dire need to supplies this winter! Hoooorrray!
