How can your desire to own an obnoxious dog be more important than everyone else's desire for peace? I don't get it...

why do the neighborhood's collective rights outweigh my individual rights? because there's more of them?

now i'm just arguing for argument's sake.

Dog can go in and out all day. Dog door goes in to the garage.

Ahh...but you also stated that the dog stays inside by the AC due to it's superior intelligence. Granted,it's possible that your garage has AC....

Oh and I don't believe I've insulted your intelligence in any way,sir. Now,since,you bring it up,my comprehension of your posts would VASTLY improve if your grammar, spelling and syntax would do the same. Thankyou,for clearing up that small point and for a "lively" reparte' and now sir,I take my leave of this rather tedious subject! Adieu'!

There are RIGHTS.

Then, there are actions that are illegal.

Just because someone does something illegal, it does not mean that someone does or does not have the RIGHT to have or not have the opposing action or reaction.



In this country, you have the RIGHT to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You don't even have the RIGHT to happiness itself - just to have the ability to pursue it.

Ignorance might have been HIS bad word choice. As, the way I see it, he is the one with the ignorant argument. And, he's fun to poke with sticks. All this time, completely missing any point I agreed with him on - just continuing to argue for the sake of arguing.

You have no RIGHT to a quiet home.

However, if someone has loud sex on your front lawn you CAN call the police. What they are doing is illegal.

He does NOT have the RIGHT to kill a dog with a tossed poisoned hot dog just because his neighbor lets the dog bark. It's on HIM to prove the dog is a nuisance.

We do not live in a Socialist society. If you want RIGHTS that are good for the collective, move to Sweden.

Oh, and you have a choice. You don't HAVE TO work the shift you are working. Move, buy a house within your means or rent. Give up some toys so you can pay your bills without both parents working. Stop living on credit. Hell, go get an education on the state and get a better job with better pay. If I had more time, I could give you more CHOICES.

Oh, FYI...

civil rights

A broad range of privileges and rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and subsequent amendments and laws that guarantee fundamental freedoms to all individuals. These freedoms include the rights of free expression and action (civil liberties); the right to enter into contracts, own property, and initiate lawsuits; the rights of due process and equal protection of the laws; opportunities in education and work; the freedom to live, travel, and use public facilities wherever one chooses; and the right to participate in the democratic political system.

It's NOT your RIGHT.

sorry, my government professor has had a really good time with this thread. it's all just for a good discussion. That is, until *ignorant* boy got all happy with the keys and started calling me names. Talk about the mature way to go into this. Suuuuuuuuure you talked to your neighbor. I have no idea why he wouldn't do what you asked....

in nj its illegal to have a dog barking more than 30 mins and charges can be pressed.

animal control can and will take the dog away if it becomes a nuisance, people like you have 0 respect for your neighbors. get a bark collar and have some respect for your neighbors.

It a dog. They bark. Get over it....

No we have decent neighbors who bring there dogs in at night. We are the only ones with animals outside. And even when it my animals making the noise they (the neighbors) just ingore it cause it's on our property. And we usually go outside if it's later at night cause most have children.
I just overall think this is a stupid fight. There animals. There going to make noise. It would be just like us telling every human out there to not talk..... Or pass gas or make any noise. Its a natural thing for animals. Most time they are trying to alert their owner of danger. Like i said before, its a natural thing, get over it.

Second I did say something to my neighbors but assumptions usually happen with ignorant people. Actually numerous conversations. One being they gave me a squirt gun to squirt it when it barked. I politely declined and suggested a bark collar. I'm not gonna come outside and squirt the dog all day, I have a life.

I could bet the two of you had a lot handed to you growing up. I know you'll deny it but I'd put a paycheck on it. Anyone who makes assinine(sp?) statements like "well don't choose to live there/don't take night shifts." Is a ignorant person to the world.

Having a dog barking constantly is like me using a jackhammer, its annoying and not apart of the natural noises I want to here after busting my ass all day at work. A dog barking once in a while is one thing but when it yaps its head off for an hour straight that's too much. Its called respect your neighbors...

Here's an idea.... Move out to bum fuck egypt to where no one else lives so you get your god damn quiet. I hope your neighbors bitch about you starting your bike and moving around the house. Cause your causing noise and maybe someone doesn't like it. Get over yourself.

Now who's calling names? I've only used the word "rights" because it was previously bandied about by your compatriots. I don't actually believe we have a right to anything in this country.

Several liberal groups (inc. the Clintons)have slammed the administration for their "invasion" of our "right" to privacy with the Patriot Act. Since when do we have a right to privacy? We have an abundance of laws but only 10 "rights" as outlined by the Constitution/ the Bill of Rights.

I fully understand the difference between laws,rights,courtesies,allowances,traditions,etc.

I only took umbrage with the op's original post and itgirl's replies. Their apparent disregard for the neighbor, who,again,approached the op about the problem face to face,and asked him to resolve it or he was going to take his legal course of action and report the offending animal to the authorities, was and is appalling. I don't expect a "perfect world",in fact I know better than most of you how imperfect our society is. What I do expect/desire,however,is for each individual to at least make an attempt to NOT make life harder/uncomfortable for those around them if it is in their power to do so.

I grew up in the hood,it was noisy,close,dirty,offensive,vile,etc. I was born with "big boy pants" apparently,because I dealt with it until I was 16 at which time I moved out on my own. You don't know from "annoying neighbors" until you live next to a drug house! My skin is inches thick and armor plated. I don't think I've ever complained about a neighbor to the authorities.
