Your analogy is poor...Pit Bulls are not considered a necessity. Unless, you are in to dog fighting and/or placing children at risk.
Human children and cars are pretty much a necessity.

I think you really need to read the first paragraph with the sarcasm it was meant with and make sure you pick up with the second...cause the second is the truth..

How are children and cars a necessity...I, as well as all others, can live without both...and both are choices not necessities...the only necessities are air, food, and water...I didnt realize that cars and children fell under one of those catagories.

Chloe was 25 pounds when I got her, now down to 21. But she looks big because of the hair. She's not fat, she is fluffy!!!

First....
I don't like agressive scary dogs.

Any breed.

but I REALLY don't like dogs that
have a very strong reputation for

biting,

ripping your flesh off

killing things

or leaving you physically disfigured for life.

I know some pit owners who love their pet like
a child and covet them more than a neighbors spouse.

I have no symphathy for mean animals.

We used to have a horse that was just plain
mean.

Would bite or kick you just because you were near.

When the animal became ill, I was not against
not treating it.(We did!!!!)

Bad bad animals, bad bad people,
put them down down.

Sorry, I thought that maybe, at some point in your life, you were a child?
Thanks for clarifying that "you" are not a necessity.
Also, if you re-read what I said above, I said "pretty much".
I form sentences like that sometimes for a reason.

oddly enough one would have thought that spelling might also have been covered during that time at school.

IF they allow one breed to be banned then they WILL move onto the next and the next and the next till they get down to little fluffy and guess what IF they try to ban pits then I will go all out to make dang sure that little fluffy makes the list at some point. My pit is a total house dog and everyone is pretty safe so long as you are not a robber and trying to take her day bed, then I think for her it would be all on at that point......any dog can be nasty and mean the BREED does not make it so.

you dont have to like my dog but NOTHING gives you the right to take her and kill her JUST becuase you do not like the breed, she has NOT done anything to you or anyone else, so why should she be killed just becuase of bad owners.

You are truly a sandwich short of a picnik basket arent you...do you even know the difference between necessity and want...my parents wanted a child, they didnt need one...the only necessities are air, food, and water...you can live without children, cars, houses, wives, family...get a dictionary man.

Hey, does anyone remember in the late 60-70's when afghan dogs were very popular? A lot of people had them, and a lot of these dogs turned out to bite the hands that fed and brushed them. A friend of mine had one, and she raised it with lots of love, but one day it just turned and bite her hand so badly, she was hospitalized. The vet said that he could find no reason for the dog to turn like that, so she ended up muzzling it most of the time. Point is that any and all dogs can be dangerous. Cats, too, but heck, you can trip and break your neck getting out of bed. Life is dangerous. If you want to be totally safe, then, stay in bed, never leave your house, and don't live.

Good point, but beds are unsafe to, bed bugs, or maybe a tornado or wildfire. Oh if you stay in bed you health will decline and you will probably die. Darn, I guess we are all going to die of something.

Your #60 post, which am referring too, is illogical.
Your logic is flawed in reference to the Pit Bull discussion.
You also have a problem with reading comprehension.
BTW...the last time I heard your sandwich and picnic joke, I rolled over in my crib and took a big poop.

there was a time where for a few short years in the 80's great danes were the most popular dog in america and guess what? they bit more people than any other breed. yes, marmaduke was a mennace to society at the time! ha...it changes depending on what breed is most popular. it has ranged from rotties, to dobies, shepherds, great danes and even labs..people dont look past their flawed hate to see the truth.

My wife had rabbits for years; guess what, they bite too. So I guess we need to ban them to?

Snakes bite too! Does that mean people can't have those either? How about cats? My cats are mean littel buggers and bite all the time and I wouldn't trade 'em for the world! People are just retarded and think that by banning pits it will solve all the dog issues in the world... heck, people bite people... SHOULD WE KILL THEM TOO?!?!
