With rampant runaway inflation, high energy costs, people unwilling to work, and all of the other failures this administration has caused, it will be the only possible outcome.

Vernon Taylor

Always worried when Dems are elected.

Adam

Yet nobody, NOBODY has proved there was any fraud in the election. As JH said, no AG has filed a case regarding election fraud. Just keep believing in the big lie

Lisa Gore

Because duh. Our country is in economic free fall and the Biden Admin caused it. Reopen the Keystone Pipeline, stop the flow of illegal immigrants, and have more pride in our country...but they are steering us to “accept less” one admin said don’t have pets they cost $. We need Trump back ASAP!

Adam I get what you are trying to say but disinformation or news bias is not something strictly republican or democrat everyone falls for it. Do I agree with what Lisa says most of the time? No, but articles like that won't help where conversations can be better used

Politicians are out for themselves not the people who hey are suppose to be serving

Fraudulent election had nothing to do about the question of the day. Yes the right wing people keep throwing fraud out at every chance. Yet still no proof of it.

The economy is actually in pretty good shape except for some inflation. Oil is a global commodity and presidents have very little control of gas prices. Jobs are plentiful and grocery stores can`t get enough checkout operators because there are plenty of better paying jobs to be had elsewhere

It`s not hard to compete with you Maxy. I don`t even have to shift out of first gear

Max

One of your more skillful responses, or did you have help?

MAX, There wasn`t room. Your head was already there

Your head is stuck in the sand again, or somewhere.

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

k san

No, that's too big a generalization. However, those owners should never let their pet off-leash in those areas.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

Adam Nixon

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

Andrew Cozzini

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.
