Sad to see Danny Devito go, he seemed so healthy in his drunken stupor on The View.

Doesn't matter what kind it is but it always sucks to lose a pet. Its the same as losing a family member.

LOL re: Danny DeVito. But this brings up a peeve of mine recently: Why is something like this "news"? Why is it on CNN? I can see it showing up on a sidebar in Entertainment Weekly... but why did I see this on MSNBC.com? Ridiculous!

Hummm alderwood smoked slab bacon!
Bahb - I'm with ya! My wife will turn into the "E" channel and I will turn it as I don't give a rip what the stars are doing today or any day for that matter.
There is a little cafe in Kirkland, WA that a lot of sports stars go to. It's really small and the tables are only a foot away. It's fun sitting with them and just saying hi and then leaving them alone.

Yup, I am sure I would be as distraught losing any of my children as I would be when our pet goldfish dies!
Jeez!

Have you lost any children? I've lost my mother to cancer when I was 8. Since then my pets have kept me company. More that I can say about most people. Let me know when your able to compare.

JKII,
Yes, I have lost family members (both parents), and pets. It wasn't the same...NOT EVEN CLOSE. It didn't even SEEM the same. Therefore, your assertion was wrong...just was.
Given what you said, then my loss of a pet goldfish should hurt just as much as my loss of a child. I don't have to lose my child to know that's just NOT THE CASE, therefore your statement is not universally correct, though as written, you claim it to be.
Now, if you said:
See the difference? If you said that, I wouldn't have had issue.
But pets aren't children. They can BE like children. They can mean as much to one as a child. And, losing them can to some be like losing a child or a parent. But that I would submit is the exception case. You defined an absolute, e.g. the rule, not the exception.
Words have meaning. Use them carefully.
Later.

Because the general public in this country is caught up in a celebrity worshipping, "Bread & Circuses" mentality, continuously fed by the media.
Sadly, many folks care more about Clooney's pig or Britney's "kitty" than what their Congressional reps are up to in DC or what Islamo-Fascists are up to around the world.

I guess your right TJR. Everyone feels the same, thinks the same, dresses the same. Hooray for uniformity..
Your right about what applies to some may not apply to all.

Actually, I was trying to say, JK, that not everyone thinks the same or acts the same, therefore when you make a statement that doesn't have a qualifier but instead states an absolute, you are almost always stating and indefensable position.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

JK, I think you missed the point.
Would you be more upset over loosing a family member? Or, more over loosing a gold fish?

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf%$#r. Pigs sleep and root in sh$#it. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherf$%$$in' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
