Questions: Other

I regularly see people being dragged along by their dog, and I've seen the dog refusing to walk with the dog owner, and the owner waiting until the dog decides to move on.

Yesterday it was different, the poor dog was dragged along, and negotiated obstacles by virtually being lifted up on it's lead.

The owner was nonchalant about her actions, with the mature dog happily accepting not being allowed to walk by the owners side, and struggling to keep up with it's little legs.

What kind of relationship do you have with your dog, or would you have with your dog if you had one?

Murderers and rapists... hands down the worst people on Earth, even worse if their victims are children. But the question that's been on my mind is which is worse?

Murder is technically worse as it means the person who was killed is gone and never coming back but rape is generally treated as worse and gets a stronger visceral sense of disgust from people.

I guess part of the reason is rape victims are alive to talk about their experience but obviously the same can't be true for murder victims.

In fiction however rapists are 100% treated as worse than murderers without a shadow of a doubt. Murderer characters are often redeemed A LOT meanwhile rapist characters are basically written as irredeemable pieces of shit with zero positive qualities.

My personal opinion would be that murderers are worse people in real life, but rapists are worse people in fiction.

And by the way the reason I didn't include a "both are equally bad regardless if real life or fiction" option is because in questions/polls like this answers along the lines of "equally" or "all of them" or "none of them" or whatever are just such cop out answers lol.

To me the point of a poll like this to make it fun and/or interesting is to make you think hard and carefully choose between two or more equally shitty options and an answer like "equally bad" just feels like such a lazy cop out answer.

If you do end up saying equally bad I wouldn't complain but I would prefer you not answer because that's not my goal here.
