I look forward to your comments to 'complete' my title-
Punk-
... and I quote:
"Let’s face it: dogs just stink, (and the people who get so powerfully attached to them – for God knows what sick and twisted reasons) – stink too."
"If I can smell a dog, it is killing me. Even if I can’t smell it, I can see it, which causes me psychological distress."
"If they want to roll around in dog hair in their stinking homes, then good luck to them. Unless, of course, there are children present, in which case the dogs should be forcibly removed and shot. Likewise if the dog addict’s flat adjoins another. The same, naturally, goes for their cars. To have a dog in one’s car when a child is present is clearly a form of child abuse."
Joe Jackson is a musician and writer- Or so the article states...
Personally, I think he is a narrow-minded fool without a heart.
While I do not really think an untrained 'pet' should be in a public place, this guy carries any dog ban to an unacceptable level.
Even the people I know that are allergic to dogs do not feel this hateful and murderous toward a dog...
I cannot even begin to imagine what life must be like- And I don't want to know.
Now 'scuse me while I go smooch on my smelly dog so she doesn't feel the need to go hunt him down and bite his stupid and damnable ass.
XOXO

omg is the Punk's baby picture? awwwwww! SO CUTE! *sniffles* our babies grow up too fast!
ReplyDeleteJoe Jackson is an idiot!
as above when I first read this title in my inbox, I instantly thought......Joe Jackson is a child abuser.
ReplyDeletePunk was such an adorable baby! She is now a gorgeous big girl!
ReplyDeleteJoe Jackson is an odd sort - I remember him from the '70's - I don't know if he's a child-abuser or not (last I'd read, he was single) - but he's not the only person who thinks dogs smell.
ReplyDeleteOne has to be born with an acute sense of smell, as I do, to really be offended - but I can tell the moment I reach a person's front-door if they have dogs in the house. The odor really is offensive to some, and I'm one of them. His other comments (shooting dogs; etc.) aren't justified - but there are some of us who find animals-in-the-home unsanitary.
ReplyDelete(By the way - here's Joe Jackson:)
You can smell dog owners ten yards downwind, so what?
ReplyDeleteIn the next step you look up up to see a real human being.
Give a dog a home and learn how to live.
Bill, the only problem with that logic is that some of us just don't care for dogs.
ReplyDeleteThey smell bad.
I went to the site you posted and read some of Jackson's articles. He talks about how unhealthy dogs are yet he's a smoker. I think he might be one who writes confrontational articles to anger people or to make fun of them. Who cares if smelling a dog is killing him, who cares if seeing a dog causes him psychological distress? Not me, I don't care.
ReplyDeleteMy answer to your title question is: Joe Jackson is a curmudgeon who writes for other curmudgeons.
Sweet Suzy
ReplyDeleteIt is one of her small dog pics...
THIS is her 'baby' pics-
Her, (and her 9 brothers and sisters that is).
hehehe
Jackson sux bigtime, eh?
XOXO
me
I didn't think that Sweet Pamela- But it is never a giant leap from abusing animals to abusing humans.
ReplyDeleteXOXO

"Big" girl is right!
ReplyDeleteI had to take her to Doc Spires this morning- I thought she had an ear infection because her right ear "stunk" -hehehe
But her ears were clear- (Probably because I use the Similisan on her too)! hehehe
She has gained 8.5 pounds since her last visit! (Yup, you can tell my back has been real bad).
XOXO
me
Will;
ReplyDeleteI had never even heard of himself before this article- (And I really couldn't believe my eyes as I read).
I wouldn't think that you would ever shoot a dog- (Unless he's a GOP Pup)- hehehe
I heard a report on the news the other day about people sleeping with their dogs and cats; and all the shared diseases.
One lady got it right after they had named off the illnesses and all- She said "I have slept with my dogs forever and have never had the plague or anything else"
hehehe
You are right though, the rest of his comments are not justified. (Nor are they rational).
Me no likey this man.
XOXO
me
ReplyDeletehehehe!
Well said Sweet Cab!!!
XOXO
me
ReplyDeleteHe can step right out of here!
HAHAHA
ReplyDeleteBill you are so funny!
I don't think I smell like my dog
But only because she wears "Patchoulli" and I wear "Musk".
I've been giving dogs homes since I can remember. They steal not only your home, but your heart as well.
Mine anyway...
XOXO
Me
It's ok not to like dogs.
ReplyDeleteIt's NOT ok to shoot them just because you don't like them.
(Same goes for cats). hehehe ~And cats stink worse than any dog!
XOXO
Me
LOL I've always liked the word curmudgeon, although I've never heard anyone use it in real life. I think maybe because it's a very old fashioned word? I also like the old fashioned word "roué".
ReplyDeleteAnd this from the man who's brother owned a freaking monkey,
ReplyDeleteoh never mind.... wrong Joe Jackson. Went and RTFA. It is the other twit. The one who supports smoking in bars....No clue how that is better than dog for asthma...
ReplyDeleteMy mother always loved that word too- and wasn't afraid to use it on us kids!
ReplyDeletehehehe
And roué... Now I am hungry.
ReplyDeleteStill ROTFLMAO!
hehehe
XOXO
me
Joe Jackson is an: ass-monkey, creep, heartless individual, dog hater. Shall I go on dear Annie??
ReplyDeleteLittle Miss Punk is a doll and Miss Milly feeding all the babies is a beautiful Lady. I know you miss her so.
oxox,
snotball
the kind that makes you hungry is roux... the kind that makes one blushy is the rogue.....
ReplyDeletethe roue? that one makes the nice girls run for the hills.....
Yes, deannes! I was saying roué -- as in a lecherous man.
ReplyDeletewell maybe I was still hungry?!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou two!!!!
