Does something need to be done about dogs?

[Dis86]

Yes, it could. The responsible owners would have to cough up. But its the irresponsible owners who are the problem.

Taxes fund prisons, courts and the police.

 

[Dis86]

The topic here is about problem dogs. A licence fee won't fix that.

It will fund controls on those who cannot responsibly own one.

 

[Dis86]

Far more children are injured/killed by their own parents each year, bring in licences for breeding, there's lots of folk out there that are far too stupid to be left in charge of children, some of them shouldn't be left in charge of a goldfish...

Totally agree. I've said it before on here. Need a licence to drive yet any moron can pop out unlimited kids.

 

[Dis86]

I agree. And I already made that point to dowie.

Should we ditch driving licenses?

 

[Dis86]

Please stick to the topic.

It is on topic. I'll ask it again, should we ditch driving licenses?

 

[Dis86]

It's a completely different topic. Don't you understand that?

No, we're discussing licenses. It's a license. Go on, make that mental leap. You can do it.

 

[Dis86]

Motor vehicles are not dogs. Stick to the topic.

Licenses are licenses. Apologies if your single digit IQ is struggling with that. I mean I literally can't make it any clearer really.

 

[Dis86]

I think you are taking the pish. And being offensive.

And I can't say what I think of you, you'd likely cry.

 

[Dis86]

That's pretty low IQ posting tbh. Fishing license is totally different to a driving license. The consequences of getting it wrong, the prospect of getting caught, etc.

Not really. Think about what the purpose of a license is.

 

[Dis86]

You can see his point though right? In order to be alowed to use a potentially dangerous peice of equipment in public you must undertake basic training or pass a test proving you are capable of doing so safely.

A dog is certainly a potentialy dangerous peice of equipment, biological rather than mechanical, but used in industry, law enforcement and military sectors too. Undergoing compulsary basic training or passing a test before being in charge of one in public would be a good idea.

Especially as say lack of maintainence harms a dog much more than it does a car or a 125cc

No, he literally cannot grasp it. Seemingly nor can dlockers!

 

[Dis86]

And how does paying 17 quid online and getting a piece of paper do any of that?

Because it is an extra step. By taking even a small step like that you are showing a level of responsibility in an of itself. Couple it with a competency test, whether written or practical and you're off to a winner!

 

[Dis86]

A responsible owner would know what the dog needs - what ever restraints are requited without the need for a licence. The irresponsible owners wouldn't one anyway.

So again...should we scrap driving licenses then?

 

[Dis86]

The argument was licenses are licenses. I don't doubt they can put in effect and lead to the benefits you are saying (driving licenses), but the poster who said licenses won't work because those who disobey will disobey regardless is totally true.




welcome to OCUK 2022

I *feel* it therefore *it must be*

So then why do we have licenses for anything?

 

[Dis86]

Because



However your low IQ argument + ad hominem was:

You do get I never mentioned the process to obtaining said license...right?

 

[Dis86]

c'mon man, even for you

Ad hominem cry cry sob sob.

Again...did I mention anywhere the prerequisit?

 

[Dis86]

What point where you making then?

The point I was making, which I've already explained is that obtaining a license requires a process. Something that in and of itself shows a level of responsibility.

 

[Dis86]

Responsible dog owners don't require a licence. Irresponsible owners don't care. That's it in a nutshell.

So let's get rid of all licenses eh?

 

[Dis86]

lol, dude

Drivers licenses = no
Fishing licenses = who GAF, literally achieves nothing

Why not driving licenses? Good drivers don't need them. Bad drivers don't bother.

 

[Dis86]

Screw licenses, guns for everyone too! Gun control clearly doesn't do anything.

Wait a minute!

 

[Dis86]

Ah yes what a slam dunk argument. Literally zero gun crime in the US because of licenses

How many licensed firearms are used to kill people in the UK?
