I don't agree on the dog breeder thing.

Me, neither. To be a responsible dog owner, you get your dog from either a) a rescue or b) a respectable breeder*.

The former is dirt cheap, and is a great way to get a pet dog. The latter is quite expensive, and pretty much only makes sense if you're looking for something specific, like a show dog or agility dog.

* In my mind, a "respectable breeder" is a high standard. It includes things like temperament testing, early socialization, vetting potential adopters, and a guarantee/requirement to take the dog back if it doesn't work out with the adopter's family. Very few meet this standard -- backyard breeders and puppy mills need not apply.

I'll add the "City of Portland" (ore-gone). They are a waste of money in general.

Top of that list would be:

1. Give it all to me

GoldenRivet · 06-15-11, 04:42 PM

I agree with all except

8. Live sporting events

10. The champagne room at a strip club

14. Single condoms from a bathroom vending machine

Live sporting events - its an experience - you either understand it or you dont. the lights, the crowd, the hot dogs, the crack of the bat the sunset and the fireworks after a win (in some places) you dont get that anywhere else

Champagne room - I might have a 10 year old son in New Orleans i dont know about. and if i do... i can guarantee you he was conceived in a strip club "champagne room".

Bathroom vended condoms - if you havnt been saved in a pinch by one of these... buddy... you just ain't livin life to the fullest.
