Captain Controversy vs Sir Surgeon

This is a mostly unaltered conversation with limited editing for fairness to both parties.


Me (under the moniker of Captain Controversy)...I find it bizarre that someone would entertain the thought of spending this outrageous amount of money on a pet when in third-world countries there are people who have no access to clean uncontaminated water and must give this bacteria-laden water to their children knowing it could kill them…and here in the first world, we use clean water to flush our toilets.

That amount of money could quite possibly feed a village for a year or provide clean water or education opportunities for kids who are severely disadvantaged…and in reality, could mean the difference between a child growing up to become a doctor or ending up being sold into prostitution. Think about how entitled we have become when this kind of question must even be asked. It’s no wonder there is so much ill-feeling towards the West by countries who just want the basics for human survival…things we take for granted.

Lars Busk (Danish/German Veterinary Surgeon...I find it tiresome that some SJW people take the moral stance to tell other people what they should or should not do with their money. Especially if it is based on speculation. The child that you are fabulating about could also end up as a rapist, terrorist or paedophile. What good would that be?

Me...You're right Lars, that was speculation, and people can spend their money on whatever they choose, be it a dog or a charity. It just seemed to me that such a large amount of money could help someone in need, perhaps even someone in your own neighbourhood. No terrorists or pedos near you, I'm sure. Or even yourself, maybe you could do with some help financially or morally? I didn't realise that having morals was a flaw, and I apologise to anyone who was offended by my comments. I also apologise to you Lars…for making you tiresome and saying something that was immoral, from my high standpoint. I'm new around here and I am glad you have put me in my place. Can't have SJW (please excuse my ignorance, but I don't even know what that stands for, but I am sure it is deserved) people running rampant saying things tiresome. I shall slink off now and take my morals with me. Obviously, they are not welcomed in your part of the world Lars and I will try to keep any future comments within the boundaries of moral low ground, so you can add your two cents worth to other SJW types, dirty bastards that they, I mean, we are.

Dr Lars...Morals are a good thing, but imposing it on others is not. Fourteen thousand dollars is close to what I spend on vet bills a year, but I have twelve dogs and four cats. However, I operate quite a few people for free, if they can't afford my fees. That comes down to much more, so I take the liberty to spend on what I see fit. Hip replacements on old dogs are not something that I consider a very good idea because the benefit is limited compared to the trauma to the dog. On the other hand, I have performed complicated jaw surgery on a young dog with multiple fractures of the upper and lower jaw after a car accident. The vet did the anaesthesia and I did the handy work. Fourteen thousand dollars would not have paid my bill, but the dog was without an owner, so she had no insurance. Five years later she is ok and lying by my feet as I write this.

Me...Sir Surgeon, I had no idea that you were an animal philanthropist. Donating so much time and care, and let's face it, cold hard cash to our animal friends. I think it is noble to take up the cause of animals, who would otherwise be destroyed. I really do have a better understanding of why you would consider my views as tiresome, and that you would feel I am telling people how to spend their money. You love and protect our little furry friends (and no doubt make a very good living from their owners) and I must have appeared to you as some kind of animal non-lover with my views about the plight of those who live every day in more danger, more fear and more chance of violence being perpetrated upon them than anywhere else in the world. Perhaps even more than in the US. I am not serious, of course, and that is a completely different football to kick around. But I do wonder. I had to look up Social Justice Warrior and I am truly honoured to have that label hung on my person, especially by such an esteemed surgeon as yourself.

Me...I thought you were trying to insult me, but I was mistaken and appreciate the love you have shown me. Considering I have only just joined in the conversations here a few days ago, I feel quite peachy that you have taken the time to get to know me so well. I’m a Virgo…I’ll bet you are Sagittarius or a Leo or a Tarsus or Pisces or a Libra or maybe you too are a Virgo. Imagine it…with your skill and wealth and my SJW badge, we could perform miracles on third-world dogs and cats..or at least save them from the rapists, pedos and terrorists who abound in THOSE places. People who are so evil and desperate they see our little darlings as dinner. But not on our watch, Sir Surgeon.

Ummm…can I be the superhero and you be my sidekick? Oh, Sir Surgeon, we are going to have so much fun together.

Much to my disappointment, there were no more replies.
