I love Brian Reagan. I berkeleying hate dogs. I have now started going out to the back porch and screaming "HEY! HEY! HEY!" whenever the barky dogs start barkin' up at 3AM. Filthy wastes of space.

And that is how I know you are an awful human being.
So do you like any pets at all? Or are you one of those people who hates any pet?
If bunnies barked their stupid heads off at 3AM, I would hate bunnies too.
OR: I hate all pets. That makes perfect sense. To a dog owner.

So you don't hate dogs, you hate obnoxious dog owners. my dog barks, perhaps twice per day. One bark each time. Usually at around 3 in the afternoon.
The rest of the day and night, he is sleeping.
In reply to poopshovel:
I'm just asking if you don't like cats, fish, birds, etc. as well. That has nothing to do with being a dog owner.
It's interesting the number of auto and bike message boards I'm on, and the large number of dog people who populate them. They are usually the most interesting and helpful people in the population.
Poopshovel, the exception to the rule.
My dogs don't bark at 3am. My dogs generally don't bark at all. My dogs don't live outside. Why? Because I'm a responsible pet owner! You really hate the idiot owners. It's no different than the idiot parents who let their spawn run wild in a restaurant. I don't hate kids, but I sure want to trip the little buggers when they run by my table.

Pound it, bro! This is the truth!
Funny how every dog owner I know says the exact same thing, yet in 30+ years I have NEVER lived somewhere where there wasn't a dog barking it's berkeleying head off all night. The hope is to retire early and wealthy and set up a "dog-free-living" community. I'm sure you guys are polite and respect your neighbors. You're the exception and not the rule in my experience. Anyway, the Brian Reagan bit is funny. If we can't agree on that, I take back all those nice things I said. 
I have 2 dogs, and was thinking this morning how my one eyed, nasty shepherd cross is my best friend. I have also been bitten by other dogs 8 times. I understand how somebody can hate them. I always thought your username was dog related.
I enjoyed the Brian Reagan bit.
Someone posted this clip of Brian Reagon on Dr.Katz a few months back. Hilarious

think of it like this way: have you ever moved anywhere without any idiots nearby? I don't think it's possible to do so.
we have a woman that lives above us that vaccuums twice a week, at 10pm.
she doesn't work all day, but she waits til 10pm to vaccuum.
yeah.
I live where there's no dogs waking me up barking all night. I also have 2 dogs who do not bark.
sounds to me like someone is just looking for a reason to bitch.

Why Hello Thar, welcome to the internet.
Please enjoy your stay.
The chance of dogs barking at 3 AM is directly related to the distance you are from the center of a major city.
The further away from a city, the more likely dogs will be barking at 3 AM. Go far enough, and the barks become howls and the dogs become wolves, but it still works out.

The world is full of lousy drivers. Everyone I meet complains about other inconsiderate, dangerous drivers. I wonder where they all go when they are not in their cars. I've never met one.
In this thread: Everyone misses the point.

At my old house, I was surrounded by dog owners. Only one was an inconsiderate berkeley-nut, idiot. He left his dog outside whenever he was home, and that beautiful, healthy chocolate lab would stand at the back door and bark, non-stop.
Do what I did. Call the police. They can take care of it without escalating the situation. My neighbor got a $227 ticket, and we never heard the dog again. Hopefully, he went to a family that cared for him.

Quoted for truth.
The problem isn't dogs, it's owners. Train a dog to be obedient an they will be happy. My dog literally barks maybe once every few weeks or so, and only when he has a reason to. My past dogs were the same way - well trained.
You know how sometimes you see homeless looking dogs? They never seem to bark.
They'd stop barking if you'd let them sniff your but.

I have 2 dogs who's job it is to bark.
Like my mom says, Not everybody likes vanilla.
You are entitled to hate dogs. People who think that makes you an awful human being, are awful human beings.

Whatever point it is, it's overshadowed by, "I berkeleying hate dogs." Take that sentence out, along with "Filthy wastes of space" and this thread would be funny.

Meh. There's people that hate dogs, and people that hate cats.
What i find interesting is that there's been threads on here where people state they hate cats, and make comments (i assume in a joking manner) that cats are only good if used as footballs, and such a negative response isn't really seen.
I don't particularly like dogs either. I'm not sure if i'd go so far to say "i berkeleying hate dogs," but it wouldn't be a far stretch.
