when i see chess being played on re-runs of frasier or seinfeld i get all happy inside. i also get the same feeling from seeing puppies. somehow chess and puppies are related.

 So would you explode or implode if you ever saw puppies playing chess?

haha, the pups will probably knock over the pieces...there'll be no game. if they were intellectual enough to understand something so complex (kay, it's easy to learn but not so easy to master), then our world will be overruled with smart animals. cool.

Some animals are smarter than some humans, or should I say, some humans are dumber than the dumbest of animals!

 if ur implying that statement to me well i am not dumb, i just haven't found much worth learning

As a kid I loved the chess sequences in Alice Through the Looking Glass.

wasn't referring to you at all. Just referring to the comment about the puppies being dumb and would knock the pieces over. I have seen some people are even dumber than that! Present company DEFINITELY excluded. These people wouldn't be normally playing chess, they would be out trying to break into homes and cars because their own brain doesn't work, so they need to steal from people who actually make a living from their working brains.

appropriate subject for the following joke...

In a park people come across a man playing chess against a dog. They are astonished and say: "What a clever dog!" But the man protests: "No, no, he isn't that clever. I'm leading by three games to one!"

What a nice human being you are. Completely brushing aside any sociological arguments behind crime and putting it down to the fact that some people's brains just don't work. 

I am not disputing sociological circumstances would force some poor people into crime and I have full empathy for them. As I said in my statement I was speaking about "SOME people". It doesn't take an Einstein to know that a lot of crime is committed by lazy people who would rather gain their cashflow for survival by a quick steal and grab than a long hard day's work. They are the no brainers I am referring to. 

I have known a lot of poor people in my life and the vast majority of them never resorted to crime. Apologists for crime/criminals do nothing but empower them. The real criminals are those who use the law to rob people blind imo.

I have never been starving enough to have to steal to survive. If people are at rock bottom and have no food, this would make them do crazy things. Especially if have little mouths to feed. There are different levels of poverty, and I am not apologising for people who steal to make for an easy way. I am starting to feel like a broken down record player here - just TRYING to say, I hate good for nothing bludgers who steal of others because they don't want to get off their lazy butts to go and work like the rest of us do. I am talking about one sector of the community. Of course the vast majority of poor people would not resort to crime. I am talking about the group of people who do resort to crime, who aren't even poor in comparison to many other decent human beings below the poverty line. 

I just want to point out that this discussion morphed from chess on TV to puppies to the sociology of crime to politics...in exactly sixteen posts.

Getting whiplash here. 

that's what happens when someone takes a comment the wrong way and then others decide to pounce and misconstrue what I am saying. If they have a dictionary handy someone should look up the word SOME.

I read the word "some" the first time. No one commits a crime because their brain doesn't work. Those who aren't poor and commit crime are greedy, again, nothing to do with whether their brain works or not.

Sorry chessbabe, I wasnt trying to attack anyone and my post was more a response to mad dog than you anyway. As for post #18 ....life is full of surprises!
