"get rid of the porn or get help to stop using it. Step one. I am not saying all porn is bad but you admit it helps you to depersonalize women. You have unreasonable expectations fueled at least in part by overindulgence. Then try to stop looking at…"

"try this: one day after school, just walk up to her and say "Hey, I am going to grab a snack at XYZ, you want to come too? I'll buy!". if she says no, just say "Ok, maybe you can come next time?" and go on...she may really…"

"I think most of us agree that the only ethical action would have been to have the dog euthanized immediately. I can understand not wanting to shoot the poor creature yourself; I couldn't do that to one of my dogs, but I live in a city where…"

"Something I like in this website is how we discuss Manliness....being a man.  The difference between men and "guys" is level of maturity. Though a guy is in all men, the reverse is not true.  And maturity is (by my definition)…"

"I can't blame your brother-in-law for not coming home sooner. He had no way of knowing that he was needed until he was already there. I can't even blame him for wanting your sister to have been there before putting the dog down. However,…"

"I think what Daniel meant was that you don't ADD to the pain...for example, if you aren't a good aim, and missed your shot...   I saw a policeman try to kill a down horse once...took the fool three shots to hit the head, and he was…"

"If this had been my family, my mother would have had the dog shot, end of story."

"I think the dog was already in enough pain. Whether you euthanize it or just use a bullet the dog is going to be better off. (I don't mean to quibble, but "as painlessly as possible" seemed pointless)"

"they won't tell me what they did with it."

"You euthanize the dog as quickly and as painlessly as possible.    There is no other way to handle it."

"Really difficult situation there. I would have had the vet put her down. I wouldn't be able to shoot her myself, even if it is to put her out of her misery.   If I may ask, what ended up happening to the dog?"

"they won't say...I know they didn't take it to the vet (that costs money)...so whether he took it somewhere and dumped it or if he killed it somehow, I don't know.   I do know they told their daughter the dog must have run away…"

"heck if I had known about it, I would have left MY job to go take care of it...My mother just had a heart attack last week, she wasnt' able to lift the dog into the car and was wanting to protect my niece from seeing it (yeah, my sister has her…"

"It seems to me that no one in the family wanted to take responsibility.  I don't know how hard your mother tried to get your brother-in-law to come home, but I think that she should have taken it to the vet after it became clear he…"

"I'm assuming if an option was shoot it, he had a gun. Saying yes, shoot it. If it's going to have to be put down, which it clearly was, best to do it as quickly as possible."

"Get the dog medical attention immediately.  That may be a vet, or may be bullet.  I think the decision is easy, it may be the execution (of the plan) that's hard.   I would have immediately taken the dog to the vet.  I…"
