R.I.P. Rin Tin Tin - Page 9

Gosh Policewoman, if only the rest of us were just like you, right?  What's it like to walk on water (or at least think you do).  I wasn't going to post anymore on this thread but you just can't stop goading people with your passive aggresive, judgemental bs, huh.    As it has been said, take a good hard look in the mirror.

Once again, sueincc, you couldn't have proved my point any better if you had tried.

Policemom,

Thank you for the nice responce and once again thanks for bringing up those wonderful OLD (LOL) memories of Rin Tin Tin.

A lot of posters here are a lot younger and didn't have to suffer through watching TV that had only three stations ABC, NBC and CBS. That was it in those days, channel surfing involved three stations, no need for TV Guide.

And we had to actually get up and change the channel!  My brothers and I took turns being the "remote".

"The reason is you never know who is reading these posts and I did not want to hurt anyone's feeling if they happen to have one of these dogs.  I can't even imagine how that would hurt someone, especially if they bought one of these dogs solely because of it's heredity."

Funny you never mentioned all your "concern" before.  Enough.  Stop.  It's obvious you are reaching & it's obvious you & I are never going to see eye to eye on anything.  I guess we just rub each other the wrong way.    I'm calling a truce.  In the future I will be more than happy to ignore anything you say that for whatever reason irritates the f&*k out of me,  if you will do me the honor of the same.  In the words of the immortal Rodney King "can't we all just get along"?  In case you missed it, that last sentence was said  with  my "tongue in cheek".

good post policemom :)

Ninja - I am one of those who is of a younger generation that kind of missed alot of this.  I thought the history of this post was very interesting and I enjoyed it.  I personally dont think the dogs look that bad - but then again I am one for an older style and I could care less about color for obvious reasons...I do have a beef with the pricetag though...but at the same time they are not the only breeder benefiting from a name or a brand.

One of the things I like about the GSD is that despite the relativley short history compared to other breeds it is a very rich history :)  This is just another chapter in it.

sueincc I did not think it necessary to mention my "concerns".  I thought it was obvious in the manner that I post that I don't say negative things about others kennels or dogs.  I do disagree with you that we don't see eye to eye on anything.  I've seen many posts by you where you do say positive things to others and help with your good advice.  The things we DON'T see eye to eye on are when you put others down and say negative things.  I was raised with "if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all."  Because of this I bite my tongue when I feel the urge to express something negative, whereas you just let your fingers fly.  A truce is fine with me if you feel you can't say something civil.  However, I know I can.  I don't "walk on water".  I just try to be respectful of others on here, even if they don't treat me the same way.  Sometimes I fail.  I'm only human, as are you, and I think that for the sake of "humanity" we all try to practice self control and restraint when it is called for.  Think how much nicer this board would be.

You are hopeless.

Ceph,

Back then even well to do families had only one car and only one phone. Also they had one TV. No fast food. A few pizza places were about it.

When you were sentenced to your room it was punishment. Now a days a child's bedroom has a color TV, DVD player, cellphone, Computer, digital camera etc., etc., etc. They can hold up for a week and not be bored. Anyway with so few options back then whole families were glued to the TV when one of the few good programs were on. It was that way with the Rin Tin Tin show and that show really helped create the demand for German Shepherds in this country. Life was far more simple,there was less stress. You could let your kids walk to the bus stop without fear. On my way to work now a days every child I pass, that is waiting for a bus is accompanied by an adult. It is terrible that were have evolved into this kind of society.

Earlier people were posting about Jim Beluchi and the movie K-9. I was sure that I had heard that he bought the dog after the movie, so I was searching the internet and came across an article that said the original intent of that movie was not to let the DOG steal the show, but he did. A while back there was a thread about celeberties that owned GSDs and I'm sure he (Jim Beluchi) was one of them.

I wish they would start a new cop or detective series that featured a GSD, I think it would be a hit.

That is one of the worst examples of a BYB puppy mill I have ever seen.  I wonder if the original RTT is rolling over in his grave. The original RTT was an interesting story, the rest of the web site is puppy mill and marketing ploys.
