George W. Bush has taken up the cause to change the language of PTSD. He argues that “disorder” carries a negative stigma like there is something wrong with the sufferer. He instead calls it Post Traumatic Stress Injury. K tend to agree... Why label the person as defective when they had no control over the defective shit the were forced to go through?

They are amazing. Wish I could have met him. Amy puts up a good front for a larger dog, loves to run up and down the fence barking and growling with the pitt next door, but she likes those her own size. Once I move I plan on getting her a friend. She really doesn’t like to be alone.

Hunter called the cops who said they couldn't do anything. He then called the owner.

Should have stepped in and taken a seat and made them throw him out. Taking copious pictures/video would also have been useful.

The elderly have the highest suicide rates so this comes as no surprise.

Yes, they are amazing dogs. Friendly, too. He used to be on a leash out on the front porch. My street was on the way to the local elementary school. Everybody came to the porch to say hello to Lucky.

Twice a day. He loved it.

Lucky, indeed.

I have never darkened the door of a Subway restaurant but these days it’s hard to find a business that is not owned or managed by middle eastern people. But I get what you are saying.

Overseas, France allows dogs into restaurants but not children.

Which of us is more civilised?

“Mr. Ahmed is going to be taken to Federal court and he is going to lose on Summary Judgment. He is going to pay a big fine for violation of 42 USC something or other, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and there’s probably a parallel State law which may be even more stringent. Mr. Ahmed is also going to pay the Vet’s attorneys fees and costs.

That’s how it works.”


That’s how it should work, but that’s not how it actually works in Eric Holder’s Justice Dept. Let’s remember, we had pictures, audio and video of club-wielding Black Panthers blocking a polling place and shouting racially tinged threats. Nothing was done.

Do you actually think he’s going to defend a white veteran over an Arab Muslim?

“Sounds like he got a good ADA attorney. My bet is that this idiot Subway owner is going to end up writing a very fat check, after which Subway may just terminate his franchise.”


I would be very surprised. Do you think Subway executives are going to want a fatwa declared on them and have them and their families’ lives put in danger for standing up for what is right?

They know who is going to riot and who is not.

In this allegedly post-racial/post-sectarian America, it matters not what you do, but who you are and to whom you are doing it.

Rule-of-Law is essentially dead in this country.

One CAN live without convenience stores. I have even left a store rather than use the checkout with a Muslim as checker. I won’t deal with them in ANY way-ever. How DO they buy these franchises? And how do they not serve pork cold cuts in a sandwich shop? Would YOU trust any food they made? I’d rather eat out of a dumpster!

An emotional support dog is not a service dog. The owner was not only justified, but legally obligated to turn away anyone bringing in a dof that is not a legally defined and licensed service dog.

I can’t remember the last time I was in a convenience store. I just don’t go to those types of places. On the other hand, I visited a local Schlotzky’s a few months ago and it was run by middle easterners. I never went back but I noticed a few weeks ago it had closed down.

In Vermont there is no licensing of service animals. A customer can literally declare anything (pet cockroach?) a service animal.

The Department of Justice won’t have anything to do with it. The Vet will use a private attorney.

So take your sanctimonious judgment and stuff it.

So you don't mind if the guy in a wheelchair has to park in a normal-sized space 100 yards from the entrance because all the handicapped places are taken up by people with heart conditions?

“service dogs” aren’t what they used to be. Like everything else people are gaming the system. My father’s friend had her house cat declared a service animal so she could fly with it. Yeah, on the first flight, it went insane. Yep. If you knew her she would admit the farce, but if a waitress or someone in a restaurant said anything she would go nuts and scream about her “needs.”

Absolutely. Saw a younger healthy guy with a dog in Home Depot the other day. Had a "vest" on but the stupid dog was obviously not trained for anything. It was straining at the leash, trying to sniff and smell everything.
