AMEN to the poem.

now for the comments:

I'm sick of the lying as well as the arguments. "Families" aren't supposed to lie to each other. Pet Talk isn't that same it used to be.
It can be, all you have to do is stop reading and contributing to the threads that are argumentative, and start new happier threads
With all the lieing, cheating and stealing. I used to love comeing to pet talk, but now I'm not so sure
Again, IGNORE those type of threads in favor of the pleasant ones. Make a few of your own.
One reason I don't post as much anymore... Remember the "Good 'Ol Days".... What happened?!?!
The bottom line is, people can ONLY take advantage of you IF you LET them. By continuing to read and post on threads that in the end are making you dislike pet talk you are allowing THEM to win. We, the people that post here, MAKE pet talk what it is. If we stop posting our true stories (and they can be happy or sad) then we rob ourselves of this wonderful community. SO GET OFF YOUR BUTTS, STOP COMPLAINING AND START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAY YOU FEEL!
