Overnight Open Thread (1-21-2016) – Made For The Men But Still Attractive To The Ladies Edition
The design flaw of the secular social-democratic state is that it requires a religious-society birthrate to sustain it. Post-Christian hyperrationalism is, in the objective sense, a lot less rational than Catholicism or Mormonism. Indeed, in its reliance on immigration to ensure its future, the European Union has adopted a 21st-century variation on the strategy of the Shakers, who were forbidden from reproducing and thus could increase their numbers only by conversion.
-- Mark Steyn, America Alone (2006)
To sit home, read one's favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing.
-- Teddy Roosevelt in The Higher Life of American Cities (1895)
Additionally, Eastwood has made films with a heavy focus on non-white communities. His Oscar-nominated Letters from Iwo Jima is one of the few American war films to take seriously the Japanese side in World War Two, while Gran Torino, a film focused on the Hmong community in Detroit, was one of the biggest box office surprises in recent memory, grossing $148 million domestically and amassing the 12th-highest take that year.So, look: You can talk about the importance of diversity, as liberals like George Clooney like to do. Or you can, you know, make something worthwhile that also happens to be diverse in nature without pandering, as the conservative Clint Eastwood has done.
-- Sonny Bunch in #OscarsSoWhite, but NOT Because of Clint Eastwood
I started off at the bottom. I was born a poor black child. And all day long around the house, they'd sing the blues. Then I heard my first Mantovani record, and I knew that this is where it's at for me. The kind of music I enjoy. These are my people. So I decided to become white. I had my c**k shortened. Then I got a job as a television weather man.

"ISIS was telling everyone, 'We're all brothers,' " Abu Malik said. "They let people smoke and drink. At the checkpoints, they distributed presents to the kids. They ate with people, drank tea with people. They were very nice-they didn't bother anyone. Then, a week or so after they arrived, they started confiscating weapons. They told us it didn't matter if we'd been with the Awakening or the Army or the police-if we gave up our weapons, we'd be forgiven. Ten days later, they started taking people. Everything changed. They took my cousin. My brothers dug holes in the fields and hid. I was at my house when they came for me. It was afternoon. I saw two Hyundai Santa Fes pull up outside, and I ran out the back and jumped over the wall. That was the last time I saw my family."

When Clint Eastwood Became Clint Eastwood
In the early 60s Eastwood was known as just a TV character actor usually playing clean-cut good guys. Then he lucked into the lead role for the Italian-made movie, A Fistful of Dollars, in 1964. And with the addition of a poncho and cheroot, implied menace and moral ambiguity along with his laconic delivery and squint he essentially created the classic persona that he would play and play off of for the next 50 years.
And the you have this classic scene. As one YouTube commenter put it you have more testosterone and better non-verbal acting in just 6 minutes than you'd find in 10 modern movies.
Semi-Related: "It's time to consider a curfew for men."
The editor of 'Canada's leading feminist website' says that women are under constant threat of male gaze and phallic attack as shown in the Cologne attacks and has a modest proposal on how to deal with this problem:
There are solutions: a feminist revolution. an end to masculinity. all of that would help.
It's time to consider a curfew for men.
While a curfew would not resolve the problem of patriarchy and male violence against women, it does, in a way, address entitlement and privilege. The more I consider the idea of a curfew for men, the more it makes sense...
...Think of it as a mass grounding for men. After a designated period of time, we'll allow them back on the streets after dark to see how it goes. If the sexual assaults and harassment continue, well, it's back to the curfew.
25 Things You Should Know About Dating
There's a lot of wisdom in this list.
- Dating is a numbers game. The guys who are best with women are the ones willing to put themselves on the line as often as possible.
- Body language and non-verbal communication will make or break your first impression. Stand tall, relax your shoulders, walk with self-assurance, give strong eye contact, and smile.
- Forget trying to come up with the perfect opening line. A simple "Hey, what's up?" or "Hi, you looked cool and I wanted to introduce myself" is enough. It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
- An attractive lifestyle will do more for your dating life than almost anything else will. If you're surrounded by positive people and interesting experiences, she'll be excited to be a part of that
- Listen to women and be in the conversation, not stuck in your own head. Relate back to her, share your own interests or stories, and learn to open up. Dating is about connecting on an emotional level.
- Talk to everyone, it's the fastest way to build your social skills. Start approaching girls you encounter in your daily activities - don't limit yourself to the bar or club scene.
Rumor: Hustler's Larry Flynt Wants To Buy the Playboy Mansions...But Only If He Can Boot Out Hef
20 Iconic Movie Scenes That Nearly Killed Their Stars
Including Rocky IV:
After several movie-style fights where none of the punches thrown were real, Stallone decided it just looked terribly fake on camera and the two action heroes agreed they would engage in legitimate sparring in order to catch the authenticity of the fight and emotions on film.Lots of real punches were thrown during that match and you have to admit they do look pretty damn awesome and badass, so the idea worked. However, for the last punch when Lundgren was supposed to knock Stallone down, Rocky told Lundgren to hit him as hard as possible. Lundgren delivered a punch that caused Stallone's heart to swell and sent him straight to intensive care for 8 days in Santa Monica.
Luckily, Stallone finally recovered and this fighting scene went down in history where it was supposed to be.

I liked Torino but not the ending. I refuse to watch the Jap lover movie. Screw that. I've read enough... I have no compassion for what a Jap soldier went through or thought. Revisionist history. Nah, I'll pass.
That said, I've been a fan my whole life, and the stool thing at the RNC convention in 12 was beyond the pale, awesome.

There were a number of inconsistencies. The arms were all 1870-1880's
Written by Italians and produced in Spain. I do wonder how much of it was supposed to be a reflection on the Spanish Civil war, Especially with the idiot trench warfare to capture a bridge.

It's time to consider a curfew for men.
While a curfew would not resolve the problem of patriarchy and male violence against women, it does, in a way, address entitlement and privilege. The more I consider the idea of a curfew for men, the more it makes sense...
...Think of it as a mass grounding for men. After a designated period of time, we'll allow them back on the streets after dark to see how it goes. If the sexual assaults and harassment continue, well, it's back to the curfew.
Oh, how simple, see?
Uh, who exactly is going to pass this law?

There was a period where I really liked Spyro Gyra, but after I bought their current stuff and started digging into their back catalog, I thought their early stuff sucked. Then, about 15 years later, I found stuff released a while after the albums I liked, and that sucked, too....
So I liked what Spyro Gyra was doing for about 4 albums.

How about an ONT with the software tuned to deleting every comment with the words Trump, Cruz or Rubio.
Sanders or Clinton would be a stylistic decision?
Whether it is possible is secondary to the fun it would be.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at January 22, 2016 12:03 AM (Zu3d9)
Possible yes. And maybe even fun - especially if it's Trump, Cruz, Rubio, and two random but common words to be chosen later. Will have to consider it.

The eligibility issue is not about individual candidates. It's a general issue. And it isn't a moral judgment, just a technical point of law that really needs to be determined one way or another.
If you think that Cruz is eligible then that's fine. I disagree with you but I can understand your argument and you have every right to hold it and to use it in determining your vote. Personally, I don't think he's eligible and I wouldn't vote for him for that reason. I don't see why my position would upset you ... or even affect you in any way.
The eligibility issue has to be resolved regardless of Cruz's candidacy. It's not personal.

It happened to be Trump, but at some point it would have been somebody else saying roughly the same things had it not been him.
Literally had the Republicans done virtually anything out of all the promises they made over the years, this Trump thing wouldn't have even gotten off the ground, but they didn't, and he has.
Just a months ago they fund all Obama's bullshit, and now act surprised that Trump has packed stadiums. They are utterly clueless, their Republican brand has been destroyed, and it was done by their own hand. Yet, they still don't get it.

McConnell's a turd but the Senate doesn't have the power to make any declarations about eligibility. What they did for McShame (co-sponsored by Barky, BTW) was a load of shit. And it was just a non-binding resolution, anyway - a joke of a joke of scam of a joke.

A little town north of here, way back when, one of the leading citizens discovered a horse-drawn potato digger wagon in his back barn that still worked.
So he and some friends planted potatoes and harvested them for the community - pretty much until they got bored of the whole thing.
The potato harvester is in the county museum, I think.

Some of the Birther theories I've heard claim that Cruz (and McCain) were foreign-born and then an instant after their birth some kind of transubstantiation-like naturalization process occurred which then made them American citizens. But not natural-born American citizens. The details are a bit unclear.

Exactly right. Eastwood's award was for 'Unforgiven'. All the women were whores and all were victimized by brutal men, the men all brutes and cowards. Eastwood's character was a violent drunk who got his courage from the liquor bottle, and was rehabilitated by a native american wife. All the violence was gratuitous, all the confrontations were macho male testosterone driven dominance contests. And the innocent young boy who wanted to play with guns like the big men died needlessly.
Posted by: Wonderful Chun at January 22, 2016 12:31 AM (fpcHA)
1. At birth
2. At some point in time after birth
If Cruz became a citizen at birth he is a natural born citizen. If he became a citizen at some point after birth, he is not.
So for the birthers, al they have to do is show when exactly after birth did he become a citizen, ie when did he immigrate to the US? When did he get a green card? When did he take the citizenship test? Oh what's that, he didn't do any of those things. Hmmm, interesting, and which means he was a citizen the second he was alive, which is also known as....drum roll please...natural born citizen.

People figure that we have been lied to and screwed over by Republicans for 25 years, so what's the worst Trump could do? Screw us over as well? Well OK, maybe he will screw us over, but if he secures the border at least, that's more than any other republican has done in terms of our wish list of agenda items.
It is more of a statement on the sad state of the Republican party, its leadership, and its supposed and self appointed "thought leaders."

"I don't know. It's an unusual thing he's done so far," he said of the business magnate. "I mean he's done quite well, so we'll see where he goes. I think people are looking for somebody who's outspoken and who isn't afraid, and he seems to have kind of a fearless attitude. He's great."
He went on, "I like Ben Carson 'cause he's kind of a common sense guy and also doesn't seem to be afraid. And Rubio I've met and I like very much, and Ted Cruz. Any one of them would be better than we got."

Not to start political stuff, as such, but:
Gov. Mike Huckabee
Saw a Trump spokesperson saying he was only candidate w/ a concealed carry permit. Not true. Janet AND I have had one for almost 20 years.
Cruz and Paul don't have CCs? That would be surprising, given their states and nominal political orientations.

Reminds me. There was a very stupid book I was leafing through today: 'Under the Black Flag: At the Frontier of the New Jihad' by Sami Moubayed.
Moubayed concluded that if ISIS just deposed Caliph Ibrahim, ISIS could claim to be a state and then could deal with the rest of the world like any normal state would.
Caliph 'Ali is unavailable to comment. (He's the caliph who was assassinated by an extremist, because he had tried to make a deal with the rival amir, Muawiya...)
Hey, Moubayed, sooper genius: if whackjob X claims to be the caliph and has taken ahold of an apocalyptic movement, he can't just quit, and neither can his successors.
The title "caliph" implies sovereignty over EVERYBODY. To accept that there can be nonbelievers with their own sovereignty is to accept that HE ISN'T THE CALIPH.

I was thinking that as well. According to IMDb, William Munny's wife's name was Claudia, but the following it from the final title card:
Some years later, Mrs. Ansonia Feathers made the arduous journey to Hodgeman County to visit the last resting place of her only daughter. William Munny had long since disappeared with the children... some said to San Francisco where it was rumored he prospered in dry goods. And there was nothing on the marker to explain to Mrs. Feathers why her only daughter had married a known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition.
Feathers sounds like it could be an American Indian name. On the other hand, his kids didn't look like they were mixed race.

This is not the determining factor of "natural born citizen" status. He was born in a foreign land and his father was not American. Done.
A natural born citizen is someone born in America who was never anything but American - i.e. both parents American at the time of his birth.

But how far do we go with this. Does the Constitution mean that whoever Congress declares, by law, to be born a citizen is eligible?
For example, suppose Congress declares that anyone, anywhere born of the Second Tuesday in February is a US citizen, and born so.
Would that fulfill the meaning of natural born citizen thereafter? If so, then that means the Constitution's clause is meaningless and Congress can, via this power, declare at will anyone to be eligible to be President.

So once again, if Cruz was NOT a citizen at birth, when did he become a citizen. You can't answer that because the answer is "he was a citizen at birth". So if he was a citizen at birth he was natural born. Doesn't matter if his dad was from Mars and he was born on Jupiter. His mother was a US citizen, therefore at birth he too was a US citizen.

If Cruz became a citizen at birth he is a natural born citizen. If he became a citizen at some point after birth, he is not.
So for the birthers, al they have to do is show when exactly after
birth did he become a citizen, ie when did he immigrate to the US? When
did he get a green card? When did he take the citizenship test? Oh
what's that, he didn't do any of those things. Hmmm, interesting, and
which means he was a citizen the second he was alive, which is also

1. At birth
2. At some point in time after birth
If Cruz became a citizen at birth he is a natural born citizen. If he became a citizen at some point after birth, he is not."
You slipped in the "natural born" into your syllogism. He was a citizen, but there are decent arguments that at least in common law of England that had a unique meaning of PLACE.
I'd guess SCOTUS would rule "close enough, let him run. Hell, we're making it up as we go anyway". But even the scholars on your side seem to state that the common law on this is not clear, so it isn't enough to disallow.
To me the intent of the founders, AND the view of the voter, is what matters. Dual citizenship was not their intent, even though that was not written in, and many voters don't like that Cruz had dual citizenship till recently. So it scores some (legit) points even if he is legal. Levin can scream all he wants, dual citizenship is fact and people can decide if it matters, just like on Trump and his hair, or women, whatever.
Carly also pointed this out, just saying, we should ask why he didn't change till so recently. Trump says Cruz claims he didn't know or something. In any case, it is fair that voters should know. The WaPo article seemed pretty convincing to me ... but it can't be just washed away with your illogical if then where you slipped in the "natural born", which could mean place, not time.
Posted by: Illiniwek at January 22, 2016 12:56 AM (5Gpe2)
Dual citizens are not natural born citizens. The Founders didn't allow for American dual citizens (and the Founders were very much aware of dual nationality) and for you to think that they included dual citizens in the class of natural born citizens is beyond hysterical.

Regarding citizenship, the Constitution grants Congress power over a uniform rule of naturalization, not over citizenship generally. Any citizen whose citizenship is derived from an act of Congress is thus a naturalized citizen, constitutionally speaking, and thus not "natural born." The basic principle is stated in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702-3 (189
:The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution . . . contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization. . . . Every person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States, and needs no naturalization. A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory, or by authority of Congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.

Would that fulfill the meaning of natural born citizen thereafter? If so, then that means the Constitution's clause is meaningless and Congress can, via this power, declare at will anyone to be eligible to be President.

But why does it have to be so complicated? Natural born means citizen at birth. Which means either born in the US (regardless of parents' citizenship) or born abroad to a US citizen parent.
Here's a real world scenario. Pregnant mother, US citizen, married to US citizen man, in small border town goes into labor. Complications arise and she has to be air lifted to the nearest big city hospital since the small town clinic isn't equipped to handle it. Closest hospital is 30 miles away just across the border in Canada. Baby is born there and then comes back to the US 2 days later.
According to the birther logic, that baby can't be president.

It's time to consider a curfew for men."
It's interesting (or maybe not), that after thousands of years of exploration, frontier settlement, building of infrastructure, development of technology and the prolonging of life, having all been accomplished by men (and literally impossible for women to have accomplished) and maintained by men, that some women, enjoying the fruits of all of the above, sit behind a computer and assume they now deserve to subjugate anyone who isn't them...especially in light of a hundred years of egalitarian goals.
How about, instead of complaining about the rape gangs, you let us eliminate those who consist of the rape gangs instead if using them as an excuse for your militant feminist agenda. This kind of bankrupt thought is the result of the mindset that believes punishing the group for the actions of a few is somehow justified.

Do things you're willing to get slapped for.
One time in my misspent youth, I had opened my car door to get in, when a girl I'd been talking to wanted to continue the conversation. So we're talking with the door between us, and I happen to notice that my right hand on top of the door is about 3/4" from her left nipple. So I started gently tickling it -- just barely there. Didn't look, didn't change the course of conversation....
After about three minutes of this, she says, "you're touching my boob" and I replied, "yep." Marked a turning point from having lunch together during workdays to spending weekends together.

naturalized is based on the false premise that Cruz was never
naturalized. Cruz was naturalized (presumably at birth) by statute under
Congress' power to make a uniform rule of naturalization. And since he
(apparently) has no other claim to U.S. citizenship, he cannot be
considered a "natural born" citizen.

They would have to change the amendment, to change "natural born", if SCOTUS determined that means PLACE of birth (and also a Father that was a citizen, by some of the arguments) ... as I understand it. Any of the naturalization laws don't actually change the constitutional requirements for president, though they can determine citizenship.
The 14th Amendment part about "subject to the jurisdiction" hopefully would relate (sorta), so that we could change anchor babies since they are born of parents here physically but subjects to another foreign power.

Regarding
citizenship, the Constitution grants Congress power over a uniform rule
of naturalization, not over citizenship generally. Any citizen whose
citizenship is derived from an act of Congress is thus a naturalized
citizen, constitutionally speaking, and thus not "natural born." The
basic principle is stated in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S.
649, 702-3 (189:
The
Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution . . . contemplates two sources
of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization. . . . Every
person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States, and needs no
naturalization. A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United
States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty,
as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory, or by authority
of Congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to
be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon
foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners
individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial
tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.

Logically, there's a funny little quirk here -- Congress could establish a naturalization rule for natural-born citizens to attempt to snag a future Presidential candidate -- e.g. "infants born in US territories to US citizens are naturalized at birth."
When, later, someone says "were they natural-born citizens or naturalized?", someone could point to the law and say they were naturalized.....because the "or" in the question is not an exclusive "or".

And Project Habbakuk, which would have seen a mid-Atlantic airbase (much larger than any aircraft carrier before or since) made of Pykrete, was abandoned, not because of any technical shortcomings with the design, but because the need for it had passed, with the advent of of patrol bombers with trans-Atlantic range.

For starters, make small talk with salespeople and clerks working checkout. My father, who was far more gregarious than I ever will be, used to do that all the time. I started doing the same thing about dozen years ago and I found that the more I did it, the easier it became. You have nothing invested in the conversation, usually, but it affords you the opportunity to read people to get a chance to make them smile or laugh at something you say. And merely having had the interaction usually brightens my outlook, too.

I live for today, as God asks. I find faith through Him and impart His wisdom joyfully and without judgement.
Am I finding peace within myself today, Oh Lord?
Can I truly make others happy without finding that skip in my step? Without joy, I cannot spread love.
Help this dear lady, Lord. Might she find peace within her soul. Might the love that surrounded her as a child find its way into her heart.
In Jesus' Name, I pray...
*amen*

I think I have your answer. Even though she was born here of two U.S. citizens, and lifted not a finger to to alter that, she is yet, not a natural born citizen.

If she got another citizenship by her parent's efforts then I say that she lost her "natural born citizen" status. Of course, one can clearly lose natural born citizen status - the most obvious being if they renounce their American citizenship then they cease being natural born citizens. Another way to lose the NBC status is to take on new citizenships.

It's not exclusive. By Common Law it was jus soli, and further expanded by the 14th Amendment.
But legislative defining of who was a "Natural born" citizen or subject is well established from before the Revolution, between the Revolution and the Constitution, and after the Constitution. In particular, expanding who was "natural born" was done by the 1st Congress, with plenty of Founding Fathers serving, and signed into law by Washington, who was put in charge of the Contitutional Convention.

You might feel like curling up into a little ball, but don't let it show and just act. The act becomes more natural, to the point where, at some indeterminate point, it makes its metamorphosis into real confidence.

So Congress cannot pass additional requirements for the office of president, but it cannot take them away either.
So, what of "natural born citizen", then? If we let Congress define who is a citizen by birth, are we letting them make changes to eligibility requirements? If they can't, then it means whatever the Framers intended it to mean at the time they wrote it.
Or is the logic such that the Framers intended to let Congress natural born status, and by so doing, logically must give Congress that power by very definition? IOW, "natural born citizen" must whoever Congress declares to be a citizen by birth.

For example, suppose Congress declares that anyone, anywhere born of the Second Tuesday in February is a US citizen, and born so.
Would that fulfill the meaning of natural born citizen thereafter? If so, then that means the Constitution's clause is meaningless and Congress can, via this power, declare at will anyone to be eligible to be President.
Posted by: publius (not Breitbart publius) at January 22, 2016 12:51 AM (dvuhZ)
The clause has meaning. Specifically that only someone who is a citizen by birth.
The idea that the delegates at the Contitutional Convention invented an invariable definition of who was or was not a "Natural Born Citizen", and not bother to actually state what that meant, especially when "Common Born" citizen/subject was already in legal use, is a bit far fetched.
I understand that people who think that having dual citizens, people born abroad, &c. is crazy, and thus the Founding Fathers would necissarily think the same way.
But we go by the letter of the law, and not the imagined intent, like with Obamacare.

Logically, there's a funny little quirk here -- Congress could establish
a naturalization rule for natural-born citizens to attempt to snag a
future Presidential candidate -- e.g. "infants born in US territories to
US citizens are naturalized at birth."
When, later, someone says
"were they natural-born citizens or naturalized?", someone could point
to the law and say they were naturalized.....because the "or" in the
question is not an exclusive "or".

Per SCOTUS
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702-3 (189
Every person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States, and needs no naturalization. A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory, or by authority of Congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.

Correct. Not born of a woman's vjayjay == unnatural bith ==> not a natural born citizen.

If the question is, "Do I prefer a constitution that bars Ted Cruz from becoming POTUS, or would I prefer one that permits it?", then I prefer one that says the latter. But, we have the constitution we have. If it needs to be changed (and in this case I think it does), then let's change it. Until then, it says what it says.

I read what Chi said the other night and I completely agree. It starts at the front door. If the dog doesn't understand that YOU are in control and the walk is YOURS?
You are not the Pack Leader.
If it takes an hour to let the dog know that you are leading her outside? Open the door and wait until you lead the dog outside.
She has to sit and wait, period.

Hana would always bark up a storm when anybody came to the door, but she took a real shine to me. As soon as I came in and took a seat, Boing! she would jump into my lap. We'd go to the bar at local hotel, and Hana would hide under my jacket, and keep us company at the table. She was such a sweetie.

Being in control comes before the dog goes crazy. Your job is to keep the WACKO-LEVEL at a "one", before it goes to three, five, seven or ten.
Keep the dog calm and introduce it to new environments gradually.
If it shows signs of excitement, you need to pull the leash sideways. NOT BACK. Back only makes the dog want to move forward for some reason.
Once the dog sits, or lets go of its obsession? Let go of the leash. That's right. The dog now understands and trusts you.
Once the dog knows that you are in charge, you become the Pack Leader.

She is just perfect for me inside the house. And then goes crazy outside. She never tries to bite me except when she is outside and is all hyper and excited. it's nipping and snapping than actualky biting. Sometimes she just wraps her big jaws and sharp teeth around my wrist and rests it there for some some reason without ever biting down ---- line it's a trust thing.

You have to stop at every "teaching experience". When the dog goes to "Level Two", you need to stop and pull. Turn around, (Bright-Eyes!), and walk ten paces and turn around again.
Learn what "Level Two" looks like. It usually starts with a raised tail and a fixated "look".
Pull the leash and turn around for ten seconds. *Hey* is a good Human Control call during the turnaround. It should be firm, but not panicked.
If you can control "Level Two", the dog will never get to five-through-ten.

Slight exaggeration -- he nipped me and I amply deserved it. I went to Chi's to convey my sincere apologies to Chi -- but every time he was out of the room, I revved up his dog. So when Chi and I had made our peace and were out on his driveway, Tucker decided to get a little piece of me. Considering that I had Tucker bouncing off of all four walls and the ceiling any time Chi couldn't see us, Chi has no idea how much adrenaline Tucker was huffing at the time.
And, BTW, Tucker's a sweetheart.

I stood there and waited for nearly an hour for him not to react to the door opening.
It took another half-hour to let him know that he was not going to lead me outside.
I was going to lead him.
I am dominant.
I am the Pack Leader.
Once we got outside, we didn't go near other dogs. I pulled sideways on the leash to let him know that he couldn't even sniff a bush without my permission.
...gentle tugs on the leash, knowing that this walk is for me, not him!

I was revving up Tucker because I was so nervous about my own situation. It was a cool day with a threat of rain, so I was wearing a long coat -- which, as Matrix fans can attest, can be menacing.....and I was doing cartoon sneaks with exaggerated large strides. On his side, he's going, "that's what the bad guy does in Bugs Bunny -- that's what the bad guy does in Porky Pig!!!!!!! [I think Chi lets him watch too many cartoons, 'cause he knows that's a dastardly sneak.] He'd go running in to bark, "watch out, watch out, he's a villain, he's a villain!!!!" And then, when Chi and I were talking, he'd sit by Chi's side, quivering -- thinking "evil, evil", but "Chi's got this." It was actually quite endearing.

It took another half-hour to let him know that he was not going to lead me outside.
So do you open the door repeatedly until it triggers no reaction, or do you open and wait for him to calm down?

Dogs need activity driven by a Pack Leader. If you are not the Pack Leader, they will choose one. It will cost you many patches of carpeting and a few pieces of furniture.

Years and years ago, when I was about 16, I was the night clerk at a liquor store off in boondocksia. This was, BTW, against a half-dozen laws. Anyway, at one point the owner of the store was going to spend 10 days on vacay in his ancestral land of Canuckistan, and he asked me to feed his dog. Things being what they were, I could not meet the dog in advance.....
He had assured me that his dog was an elderly, friendly, half-blind Saint Bernard and given me a key. So, I start hearing howling two blocks before I pull in front of a place. I park in front, on the street, and the howling is punctuated with flicks of the curtains on the first and second floors. As I made it to the front door, I was hearing distinct aggressive barks behind the door.
I unlocked the deadbolt, and unlocked the handset, and opened the door about an inch.....and immediately had gnawing toward my hand punctuated with barking and snarling and repeated attempts to force the door open further. I closed the door and re-engaged the deadbolt to ponder.
So I went to a nearby friend's house to brainstorm. I should, at this point, mention that the friend's dog looked just like Slap's. My friend said, "I've got this," and started rummaging around in his collection of sporting gear.
So, we get back in my car and drive back to The Hound of the Baskervilles, and haul a bunch of shit and the dog is howling and barking like you wouldn't believe, and my friend says, "open the door" and I turn around and he's wearing half a hockey suit and half a catcher's rig and some pads from football.
And there is barking and howling and snarling and howling and barking and I unlock the deadbolt and unlock the handset and my friend turns the handle, kicks the door in, points a baseball bat at the nose of the startled dog and firmly says, "Good Dog"....and the dog immediately stopped barking and snarling and howling and sat down.
I learned a thing or two about dogs that day.

That dog can create an attack because it is either unsure or "retardedly" dominant.

Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) at January 22, 2016 06:41 AM (BK3ZS)
Why does soda come in liters and milk in gallons?
I don't know, but I do know that our government officially uses the metric system. Freight shipments are reported to Homeland Security in kg's not lb's. All importing statistics are in metric. e.g. How much Romanian steel is imported into the US every year? The stats are in kgs. How much glass from China? It's reported in square meters, not square feet. It's been that way for as long as I've been in the importing biz (21 years.)
Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at January 22, 2016 06:41 AM (HMt16)
What is the gestational period for "hybrid alien children" anyway?
Depends on whether the child is sired by a Grey or a Reptillian. The Greys have a much longer gestational period.
The Tall Whites don't reproduce with humans, so they don't count.
