GostHacked Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Methinks the time has come for you to admit your mistakes and laugh at yourself. Could you do the same for yourself? Nope. Quote

BC_chick Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 AW, you mentioned on this thread that you've never had a dog. I have, all my life. Most of friends have dogs too. The average dog knows about 20-30 words. Dogs can be taught to do incredible things, I know because I love learning about all the things they can do. 100+ words is not average for a dog, it's exceptional. You believing that it would be a law is pretty gullible. Conceivable, sure. Believable... well, sorry but it's funny.

Guest American Woman Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) 20-30 words? Please. I know enough people with dogs to know that most know more words than that. Perhaps American dogs are just smarter than Canadian dogs and I was giving them too much credit. What's funny is the reason so many people took this spoof seriously.

BC_chick Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 Gotcha it's a Canadian thing. Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine." Bill Nye on Alberta Oil Sands

BubberMiley Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 20-30 words? Please. I know enough people with dogs to know that most know more words than that. My dog has an incredible vocabulary. He can also read Yahoo news critically and recognize what must be fake.

Bryan Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 AW, you mentioned on this thread that you've never had a dog. I have, all my life. Most of friends have dogs too. The average dog knows about 20-30 words. Dogs can be taught to do incredible things, I know because I love learning about all the things they can do. 100+ words is not average for a dog, it's exceptional. No. A puppy can learn over 30 words in a couple of weeks with training and copious treats. 100 words is nothing for a trained adult dog. What would be exceptional would be one that DOESN'T know at least 100. Quote
BC_chick Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 You're completely missing the point when you keep referring to what trained* dogs can do Bryan. Just because a dog can be trained to do something it's still very gullible for someone to believe that a law would require every dog owner in the city to train their dog to that extent.

jbg Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 No. A puppy can learn over 30 words in a couple of weeks with training and copious treats. 100 words is nothing for a trained adult dog. What would be exceptional would be one that DOESN'T know at least 100. But mightn't it make it harder to learn so many if confused by language? For example if you have to say "sit" in both languages the dog may be totally disoriented.Also ascertaining in what language it's communicating with other dogs may be difficult. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
