1. Dogs are HIGHLY intelligent. There is a bond between them and (very kind) owners. He may not have understood the funeral, but he knew where to find his owner and friend.

I'm not denying that dogs can be intelligent in their own way, but they are not intelligent in a human way. The anthropomorphic implication that the dog understood what was happening at the funeral is both foolish and naive.

2. Regarding your Darwin comment, well, just spare a thought - for one instant - that such drivel could not be posted were it not for this man, and thousands like him, who fought to present people like you with the freedoms you now enjoy - such as this message board.

That comment has already been given the ridiculing it deserves.

If I could only add one suggestion, it would be that you keep yourselves more abreast of current affairs, and also to take stock of actual history.

The cornerstone of formalised human liberty in Britain and Ireland derives from the magna carta, and freedom of expression was later confirmed in the restoration period of British history, That is the true origin of our freedom of expression in Ireland, here in Europe we don't claim our freedom from some redneck American war chief or his posse of illiterates.

Cats are just sly, selfish and self interested, take no looking after.

Dogs have loyalty and love. Dogtanion rocks.

Cats are self sufficient, but are also affectionate and good company when they are around. (Well my brothers was anyway)
While I like dogs, they take a LOT of looking after, which is a bad thing most of the time,

Cats are awesome, and they do show genuine love if they are treated well. Like someone said already, it just takes time to get to know a cat, but once you do they really are great pets. My parents cat recently died, but he absolutely adored my dad, it was obvious. He followed him around the house, and used to snuggle up on his chest and sleep on his stomach when Dad was watching television. I used to wake up some mornings with the cat in the bed beside me too, sometimes. He was a fantastic pet, and was very affectionate and loving. He also appeared to be very clever (my mother used to remark that sometimes it almost seemed as if he was trying to talk to her ). He was far more likeable creature than the tit of a dog they have now. They got a little Pomeranian or something to replace the cat, and she's the whiniest, stupidest f*cking animal I've ever encountered.

However, all animals are great. Nobody should be mean to them.
