Frankly, I don't give a damn about apologists. I'm only here to prevent the classic echo chamber that turns nice subs like awwww about a horror show full of pitbulls, a race that has been engineered by the least savory parts of society to kill, maim and never let go before someone dies.

I'm using a stupid metaphor to say that I consider them living dangers, as an answer to the flow of comments saying pitbulls are all nice "if you raise them rights", a classic argument that leads every year to sob stories like "I don't understand why it attacked Bobby, it was so sweet and nice !", with people getting wounded or killed in the process.

And your answer is to tell me that I am supposed to provide an article of law stating that carrying a turned-on chainsaw in the street is illegal. God dammit.

Can you PLEASE get the clue ? Why the hell am I even writing this ? I am talking to a karma-farming bot ?

It takes a huge amount of energy to break the bonds between the atoms of nitrogen in the atmosphere. The bond is so strong that concentrated nitrate fertilizer is a high explosive. Fertilizer bombs are very real, and fertilizer factories sometimes explode The city of Lebanon was devastated when a warehouse full of fertilizer exploded. Basically, in order to make nitrogen based fertilizer, energy is pumped into nitrogen, and it is capable of releasing that energy with catastrophic speed. Some plants- mostly in the legume family (beans) can partner with bacteria in their roots, they pay the bacteria energy (sugar) in exchange for nitrate. But it is so expensive, most plants evolved to just use what is present in the environment.

Nitrogen in the air is very strong, and cannot be broken by plants.

So this needs to be fixed, or broken down. In nature, lightning has enough energy to do this, breaking nitrogen down. But a lot of man made processes have been invented to do this as well.

> if a dog has such biting problem, why not put a muzzle on it instead of killing it?

euthanizing is generally the last resort if the dog apart from is also seriously ill(as go figure most fo the dogs that do this werent being properly taken care of), many dogs that were previously involved in fighting can be rehabilitated(and often end up as service dogs even).

but ultimately the problem isnt the dog, they were just being dogs, its the owners that either thru abuse , neglect or both failed ot train and care of them properly and should be held liable for their actions.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm glad I've been accepted in the Metaphor Club.

Don't forget to cry in front of the judge when your little genetic abomination will rip a child's face. Or maybe blame the child who certainly was the one at fault. He was made of delicious meat after all.

gonna have ot ask you to show your work on this one.

its most definetely not illegal to carry a chainsaw, you might get asked some question but no one is gonna stop you.

now if you are carrying around in the streets an active chainsaw with on indication of what you are doing with it then youll be stopped(as with no further context you are in public brandishing a deadly weapon)
