Okay, I have a little story to tell you. It happened yesterday and I was really angered by it.
I am only posting this to blow off some steam.
I was hanging out with some people yesterday evening at some guy's back yard, checking out his trampoline.
Well, after a while we were about to go until the guy's mom and dad comes out and notices that the dog chewed up their hedge.
The dad looked reall pissed off. He almost looked constipated.
Anyway, the dad lifted his hand up at the dog.
I just thought that he was going to give it a little slap on the nose. But instead of that he clenched his fist and pounded the shit out of that dog, punching and kicking it in the nose and stomach.
Well, we were all shocked and watched with out jaws wide open while he beated the dog for God knows how long.
When he stopped I just wanted to go over to him and crack open his skull with a piece of heavy mining equitment under the moonlight. I didn't know what to do so I just went home (not after seeing if the dog was alright)
I feel bad for for tapping my dog's head when he shits in the bathtub, but I still feel sorry for that little dog.
I just cant beleive that somebody could do that to a helpless dog and not have any remorse. I knew that the dog was being abused some way when I first saw him.
Well, thanks for your time.
Now that I got that off my back you can use this forum to argue on who would win a fight:
Batman or Superman?

teh FLaHS! can run fastar!!!!1

So anyhow, that's not only cruel, but really the dumbest way possible to try to discipline a dog. Dogs respond very well to mean looks and voices. For capital offenses, you can grab them on both sides of the scruff look them in the eyes, and say mean things to them while you sort of shake them around (though not hard-- dont wanna rattle their brains). Or you can roll the dog on its back and put your neck on its neck. Or you can grab it by the collar and do this weird scraping upward stroke under the chin. All these are done from the front, looking the dog in the eye. They don't depend on pain. Never "discipline" a dog from behind or above.

Poor dog.

What others say about boorite!

The best part about it is, the dog didn't actually chew up the hedge -- it was me.

As for what you should do... you could always report him.

As for the fight, I read a graphic novel where Batman won the fight, but he had to inlist the help of Green Arrow to shoot kryptonite shafts into Superman. (I wish I could remember the name of the author... famous guy.)

Don't worry. The dog's fine now.
But the part of it that really burns my butt is that he did it right in front of his kid and the mother had the nerve to say that he didn't hurt the dog.
I'm sorry. I'm still really PISSED OFF ABOUT IT!

How about spiderman? You think he could win?

Frank Miller. The Dark Knight Returns. I just read it within the past few weeks, myself. Worth picking up.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

But is it worth reading?

Out of interest, how old are you and your friend? Theway your saying is that the "kid" is quite young, but I thought you were 14/15?

Dog abuse is far worse than child abuse. Sometimes you can get really pissed off with them and do things you regret, but hitting them repeatedly is just more than just momentarily losing it.

Oh, and Superman.

I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

He's just a neighborhood kid, and I agree with you on super man.

Oh, and I'm 15.

Superman. Batman relies on gadgets and therefore neglects his body strength at times. Plus, Superman has the whole alien superstrength on his side.

---
Mediocrity at its most average.

Whoever asked about spiderman: He can and did beat up Superman, Batman and the whole x-team INCLUDING wolverine, despite what my dumb friend kaylor tells you.

---
:\

Exactly.
And superman relies on himself and doesn't need the help of a little boy who is kept in a cave like batman.

Spiderman slapped Superman's titties around.

You have that collector's edition comic too?

Spiderman is my favorite...

Did you know they are making a Batman Vs. Superman movie?

Conan O Brien made fun of that one quite a bit...try this trailor...

Superman can move the planet to stop asteroids from hitting. He can dodge bullets, fly, and his only weakness is kryptonite. Batman...well...he works out a lot.

The funny thing about this is that superman is from ANOTHER PLANET. He is an actual superhero. Batman is just a fucking regular guy. He is a guy that works out a lot. What a ridiculous idea for a movie.

Welcome to Bohemia. Population: a lot Cash flow: a little

SUPERMAN IS TEH WIN

That guy sounds like a jerk, yeah. He probably has self-esteem issues or something.

I think that the power puff girls could kick superman's ass.

I thought this seemed familiar.

I think they'd start fighting ferociously, but end up realizing the stupidity of two "good guys" fighting each other when perfectly good villains are running around. Then they'd go out for beers. Bruce buys.

Personally, I like Batman better. evil_d's got a post here that fairly accurately explains most of my reasons.

"I've got my finger on the pulse of America... and I've got my arm draped casually across the upper thigh of Canada."

I don't see how Spider-Man could beat Superman, what we've got there is

SPIDER-MAN:
super-human strength
super-human speed
climb walls
shoot webs
spider-sense

SUPERMAN:
ultra-super-human strength
ultra-super-human speed
flight
heat-ray eyes
ice breath
all sorts of other stuff I missed by not reading comics back when it was cool*

I guess i just have trouble believing that any of Spider-Man's powers would do shit against Superman. But, of course, who wins in the end is determined by whether the adversary can get a hold of kryptonite. (Also on who draws the comic book.)

I also like Batman because he has a dark side to him.

However, I feel greatly outclassed in this conversation since the graphic novel I alluded to earlier is the ONLY comic book or graphic novel I've ever read (except for one Sandman issue, also by Frank Miller I believe). Let the tearing apart of my opinions begin.

I will end this, however, by saying of the 3, Superman certainly seems to be the most powerful, if perhaps the least cool. I really don't know jack about any other super-heros, and I fucking hated the Street Fighter v.s. Marvell Comics video game that was so fucking popular and took the place of all my Virtua Fighter 3 and Dead or Alive 2 machines -- game that are invinitely better but don't have the supposedly well-known protagonists.

* no, it's not cool anymore. Sorry.

Beating up on a dog like that IS pretty bad. Dogs aren't malicious or anything. Who owned the dog, the parent or the kid? Maybe the kid owned the dog and the parent was getting back at him/her for not training the dog right.

Anyway:

Superman is the most powerful, hands down. But the Kryptonite thing is a really big drawback for him (damned Kryptonian checks and balances). Anyone carrying it will kick his ass to Tijuana and back.

Spiderman's pretty agile and fairly strong. He's a good, balanced fighter, I would say.

Batman isn't that bad either. He relies on tools a lot though, because he's outclassed in terms of physical prowess. But I think Batman has the most brains of all three (not to mention money $$$).

But the REAL way to settle this battle is... Googlefight!

Superman: 1,130,000 results
Batman: 1,480,000 results
Spider-man: 1,060,000 results

come on...
_: 49 700 000
Batman: 1 510 000

All those 3 heroes are good, but wonder woman has a lasso.
TAKE THAT!!!!!!

Wonder Woman cheats by being a babe. Even Thor gotta be nice for her.

She could string me up with that anytime.

Her lasso is supposed to make you tell the truth.
If she caught me, I would probably say:
"Nice rack!"
