This. If you didn't eat your dog it would be left alone and die anyway so what would be the point in two lives being wasted?

Actually the dog would probably eat him.

I don't think most understand tbh. My dog is like a brother to me, we're closer than best mates. I wouldn't eat my brother, why would I eat my dog?


If that is truly the case then if you were starving to death would you rather eat a human stranger or your pet dog?

If you choose to eat the pet dog in this scenario then they are not really as close as human family are they?

Why does it sound gay? Are you a female dog as well?

If not, there's really no need to describe it as 'gay'. Out of all the words that could represent your feelings in that particular scenario, 'gay' really is a poor choice.


The reason I put apostrophes around it was to show that it was not meant in the literal sense, it is said like it would be at school.

According to the article, his supplies were destroyed by a bear at the start of the 3 month trip (didn't he take extra back-up supplies in case of an emergency? And a satellite phone?) and he then got lost in the wilderness.


God, he's a terrible hiker. :lol:

Using it colloquially in a conversation, you probably would've gotten away with among your peers (especially considering you're a GCSE student) but using it in a civil conversation does make you sound like a bit of a ****tard (no offence).

I am not gonna take it up to the moderators - it's your choice but I am probably speaking for a few ppl here. Just gave you an opinion.


Yeah you're entitled to give it, but what were you hoping to achieve? And so what if other people feel the same?

I don't see you actually critiquing what I originally had to say, isn't that supposed to be more important than bringing up someone's choice of writing style? :colondollar:

According to most people on this thread we'd probably kill our own brothers with a rock and eat them, after a few days in the wild.

Because a brother is totally equal to a dog, right?

The man was starving. Humans have this thing called a survival instinct. He did what he had to. You cannot possibly know what you would do if you were put in a situation like that.

Being honest, it hurts me to think about even laying a finger on my two beautiful dogs. But I can't say I would rather STARVE TO DEATH if I was in that situation.

EDIT: However, I'd probably leave them at home anyway...

This isn't a "writing style"; it's an ostentatious typographical eyesore. Had you even the most rudimentary grasp of actual style, you'd remember that in matters of dress a woman is counselled either to display her calves or her cleavage but never both, lest she be chastised as indecorous and (rightly) branded an irksome parvenu by her peers and betters, and the same principle very much applies here: you're currently a whore, crouched inside the proverbial wedding-cake of your tacky, garish nonsense, reluctant to emerge and be decisively judged on the contents of your (liberally padded) brassiere.

By all means, pick a subtly different colour, or perhaps even a novel yet still legible alternative font as an outlet for your irrepressible aesthetic subversion*, but for the love of all that is classic, refined and legitimately urbane; stop being such an insufferable ponce.

*Which, I might add, is precisely what signatures are for.

I would, at the end of the day It's the only thing left to ensure my survival. It sucks but come on, seriously, I'm loling at the people saying they'd rather die. At the end of the day, it's a dog and you're a human. Whose survival truly matters at the end of the day?

He then eats the dog a few days later after killing it with a rock.

As the top commentor on that article says, I would actually rather die than kill and eat one of my pets.

What do you think of this? Could you kill and eat one of your pets?

One does not eat a dog that has been by your side faithfully. That's a nice way to say thanks...I'd eat something wild

I could not have been able to kill any of my dogs, no way. Especially in such a brutal way.
