>>>As for those who can't hack the 'dog-eat-dog' society. I feel zero sympathy. Make better choices in life. The world is full of 'challenged' individuals, be they mental, physical or sociological, who have had great success in their life. It is not luck, it is a matter of will and desire.

>>That is one of the coldest statements I have ever read on this forum. I won't be judgmental, since I don't know you other than from what you say here, but if you approach people in real life with that attitude your funeral is going to be attended by about six people. Where's your compassion? One doesn't have to be a "bleeding heart liberal" to feel ordinary human compassion.

>I figure the illegal immigrants are not here for just survival; they are actually going through special training program, so guys like him would have better dogs to compete with. Keeping one on one's toes etc. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (or else dead). Stuff like that. Best dogs ever.

It would be funny if not partially true...
