Not The Same: Liars and Cheats

It has always been a part of the game. Dogmen/women are nothing more than a cross section of society. If society has liars and cheats then so will the dogs. If society has molesters, murderers, thieves and rapists, in turn, the dogs will have the same.


Every click is made up of society so in turn every click will have its issues. Within all those clicks there are straight up, honest good people.


What sucks is that the good people are sometimes harder to find than the other types. Although is a perfect world they would be an easy find, but in our world it takes a little more effort to locate them. S

 

So true, great post.

 

Our churches, regardless of denomination, regardless of faith, is a cross section of our society. There will be good and there will be bad.


When it comes from a church it has some shock value as it is often 'from the person you did not expect'. On the outside the person s a pillar of the community but sometimes they have secrets. Those secrets when told, because of the outwardly appearance, have shock value.


The church is a great example. The shock value is also lessened when 'stereotyping' is in play. If a redneck white guy is standing in the door way, with a cigarette in one hand, a beer in the other and wearing a wife beater t-shirt. If his wife has bruises there is not a lot of shock value as his with his stereotype it is 'expected'.


Young black man, pants sagging, lots of bling, hanging on the corner is the stereotypical drug dealer. When he gets arrested it is not that big of a surprise to anyone.


Now if that guy in the wife beater is sleeping and whooping the preacher's wife, that has shock value. If that kid saggin' on the corner sells some weed to the reverend himself, that has shock value.


And to bring it full circle. These dogs have been based on a criminal act since just about the beginning. It is no surprise for me when people committing a crime anyway, have other negative aspects as well. Anything that can be bought and sold will draw in people who are willing to lie, cheat and steal to make that sale.


It is like 'honor amongst thieves' has some real meaning. The dogs are based on an illegality so when a guy shoots you a curve, it has to be expected. The dogs are a buyer's beware market, as well as a money making machine. The first should help with the second. S

 

Another great post, slim. ^^

 

On the Steve Harvey show, Steve claims everybody has a cousin who is a crack head or on meth. I admit I do. He was recently arrested for fighting/assault/simple affray. he and his crack head pal broke into a man's shop, stole a lot of his power tools, and hid them to be sold the next morning. His crack head friend got to the tools first (early bird gets the worm) and sold them and smoked it up before the partner was available.


My cousin felt wronged. He said it just was not right. They were partners. Go figure. S

 

More than likely get my money back, if you can. Not so much by what the puppy is or was suppose to be, or even might be, but because of the lie. Cut ties and move on. S
