Looking at this from an unbiased POV, neither arguement is convincing me.

You've all made awesome points from both sides, but it seems everything is being too.... generalised?

I mean, you can't make judgement on a puzzle that's missing pieces, if that makes sense.
You can't decide wheather or not someone is doing good or bad in a situation without knowing the specific details of individual scenarios.

For instance, I grew up in a very small, quiet, friendly community.
My mother has lived there since I was three, and so has virtually everyone else who lives there. When someone moves/passes away, someone who is a relative/friend of another person in the community moves in. That's just the way it's always been. People will tell you a joke when they pass, and pat your dog on the head, regardless of breed. It's a trustworthy, safe, and friendly environment for families and their pets.

A block over from my mothers' house there is a small park. It is not legally specified as a dog park or a playground, so to those who own dogs it is a dog park and to those who have kids it's a playground.

We've always taken our dogs there, and not once have I seen a dog there that I didn't know or expect to be there.

I take Bransen there still, whenever we're in the neighbourhood.

So when I say "Bransen and I went to the Dog Park this weekend" some people are going to assume I am some irresponsible owner who lets their dog romp freely with strange dogs and people in a big park, when this is surely not the case. However, I admit, it probably would look that way from the other side of the fence.

Anyways, I am rambling now and I have lost my point......

Sorry.
