another Mike Vick thread

[redog]

Well what did you do to clean it up? Do you mean that the dog fighters gave up their evil ways because of what you said or did???

You started the thread, asking what people would ask Sick Vick. Normally here, people start a thread - tell what they would do or give an opinion on a certain issue - and then ask for input from other posters. You seem to be working backwards.

I asked a question to see if there was anyone here with any input. I also asked to put all hatred and discust aside. but you didnt seem to get that part either

I would talk with Michael Vick. I am capable of holding my temper in check for the sake of a greater good. I would ask him what he thinks can be done to change the "culture" of dog fighting. If he used the claim that "it's just part of our culture," I'd remind him that slavery used to be part of the culture here, too - and we changed that! That child labor used to be part of culture - and we changed that. Just because something is 'part of our culture' does not mean it is good and should be protected. I would also ask him how he initially got into it, and if he has since done any work in the neighborhood he grew up in, in the city he started in, to change and eradicate dog fighting, and if not, I would ask why.

Any opportunity to combat evil is worth it, in my mind.

HOLY COW! Karen you are awesome! thanks for answering my question. I find that alot of people beat around the bush or let their anger or lack of knowledge [ignorance] shine thru when confronted with certain issues. education is the key. but some refuse to get involved and choose to be negative. they wont ever make a difference so I have no use for them. if your not part of the solution then you are part of the problem

Well - you still can't seem to tell us what you did to clean it up. I didn't realize it was cleaned up.

I'll not continue this since it is getting confrontational. For some reason, there has been an influx of folks from other forums lately, that have come here for the purpose of stirring things up.

I won't be suckered into a situation/argument/debate by these individuals, since no matter what any of the long time members here say, they are wrong.

I had a feeling, that with this 2nd thread about Vick, it would end up getting ugly.

Where did all these rabid Pit Bull folks come from, and why?

I just don't get it. Why come here and pi$$ off people?

[Karen]

They're not rabid, I promise! And they came from various places, one invited by a long term Pet Talker.

I have *thumped* both parties, and hope it won't happen again!

Haha hey sasvermont! howsit goin? I didnt realize you guys had a rush of rabid pitbull folks showing up here. I hate when that happens. Im more of the abandon kitty and feed the pigeons kind of guy. I just stumbled in on accident and started reading. and the previous vick thread was interesting but of course I wanted yall's input on something else. Im not looking for trouble Im just looking for well thought out, honest input from pet people.

I think you should take a step or two back, take a deep breath and apologize for your rude, inappropriate remarks.

[redog]

No Im sorry Grace. I like pomtzu but I dont owe her a thing.
And Daisy and Delilah, thanks for asking! I am a part of a taskforce with the health dept as well as a liscenced rescue. and as for this thread, only 3 posters left their hate and discust at the door when they posted. I know theres more than that in here.
by all means folks, if you have nothing to add and only want to give me crap then leave this thread alone. make your own thread about me where you can say whatever you want

[Karen]

Let us give this thread a rest. All that needs to be said has been.

[redog]

Karen can you close it then? I dont want to it to continue to show folks true colors
and thanks for your excellent post
