Chemda is right! Look at my sweet pitbull!

[Keith]

Fingers crossed.

[sievo]

So far so good!
I'd bet she'd love Hugsy and the other one.

I, for one, thought citing no sources and calling the Keith and Lenny old was a great counterargument.

Is it you're afraid pit bulls (and their jaw that locks onto you unlike any other dog) will hear this and feel shame? I don't care if sharks being dangerous are their fault, but if there's a shark warning, I get the fuck out of the ocean.

No one had a well-sourced coherent argument? My gravy...

Go play in a pit bull farm you're so not nervous about them.

so, this happened in Atlanta two days ago, but ya know, /your/ sweet baby couldn't possibly be triggered, i'm sure:

Atlanta Public Schools can confirm that two F.L. Stanton Elementary students walking to the bus stop were attacked by pitbulls. Both students were transported to Egleston Hospital. One student was transported back to Grady Hospital’s trauma unit and later passed away. The female student at Egleston is in stable condition. Atlanta Public Schools sent a crisis team to F.L. Stanton this morning to provide grief counseling for students and staff. Our deepest condolences go out to the family

Tucker's Defense Attorney Cimque Axam told the court the 31-year old man is employed as a warehouse manager, is a family man and doesn't let his dogs run loose. "They are family dogs so they are with kids all the time. So when I say Mr. Tucker is shocked and saddened, he is shocked that he would have his kids around dogs that have been accused of what happened. It's a tragic event."

i just want people who defend the breed to just acknowledge the risk. it's there. even in good dogs.

"not /mine/. not /mine/."

yes, yours.

The frustrating part is that you maniacs disagreeing really agree. Or you're insane.

"Well you phrased it as..."

Then they're the LEAST murdering dogs. Fine. I guess I read wrong constantly.

No, what you're saying is: "Around 20-30 Americans are attacked and killed by domesticated cows every year. Around the same as PIT BULLS."

Are we going to pretend someone said pit bulls are EVIL so that you can win some argument that never happened?

This is you; "I disagree with the facts because I disagree that the pit bull's plan was to lay dormant and then eat a child's face."

Okay.
