1. I would not support restrictions on pit bull posts, no matter who they vote for.

[pinboy3niner]

2. If this dogfighting is to continue...

..we may need, as another poster suggested, a doggeon. Perhaps right next to the Olive Gardengeon.

[Egalitarian Thug]

3. Hey Manny, at least the Pit Bull fear freaks have supplanted the gun fear freaks lately.

I was kind of hoping the tornado would blow the whole thing away, but...

[The Straight Story]

4. Why? We have posts about guns each day

And both pit bulls and guns (not the owners, no one is ever responsible) are to blame for things (even though less than 1% of owners of both do stupid things - we learned from the right wing and their hate of Muslims to foment hate/emotions towards the many based on what the few do).

What else should we post on. Every car 'accident'? That would eat up most of GD each day. Same with gun accidents. Same with pool accidents. Etc.

Almost 40k people died of drug overdoses this (edited - last year) year, 11 straight years this has increased. That is enough for a few posts a day and a reason for us to make the 99% who don't OD have to put up with more and more restrictions.

No matter what the item there will be <1% or so who screw up and in a nation of 300 million that adds up.

How about we stop overreacting and trying to fix the 99% of people in a group and focus more on the one thing in common to them all - education.

5. There are no bad pit bull posts...

Just bad pit bull posters... Or something. Plus, how do you know it's really a pit bull post and not a pit-bull type post? Can you *really* tell? My pit bull post never hurt anyone, and is the cuddliest postie evah.

Honestly? Maybe a Pittie version of the gungeon? These are gettin' a bit old.

[Comrade Grumpy]

6. Pit bull posts are vicious killers. They should all be put down.

[TDale313]

13. Cool. Between the two of us...

I think we just successfully paraphrased 99% of the discussions in these threads, and probably most of the gun reform debate as well FYI, on the actual Pit Bull issue, I don't support banning the breed.

[hollysmom]

32. +1

[DevonRex]

7. Grovelbot's chest is too thin. No pit bull there. nt

[cynatnite]

8. Only if there are restrictions on pit bulls breastfeeding in Olive Garden....

Hey, somebody had to say it.

[MannyGoldstein]

9. A breastfeeding pit bull.

Holy #%^*.

[DBoon]

11. They gotta feed those puppies somehow

and the Olive Garden will teach them young how to avoid bad human food

[toddaa]

10. I await the breastfeeding baby pit bull post

[MannyGoldstein]

14. Pit bull wet nurses.

What could possibly go wrong?

[azurnoir]

18. well is dog milk nutritionally complete for non-dogs

if so there could be a cottage industry in the making

[TDale313]

20. Nanny Dogs!

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Fortunately, Admin. had the wisdom to include "trash thread" and "block by keyword" options.

Keyword block is REAL handy, I have found.

[baldguy]

15. Tell you what: Get people to stop threatening to kill my dog

Then I'll refrain from posting accurate info about Pit Bulls.

[Orrex]

17. What would you do if your dog were to bite someone who didn't instigate it?

I know, I know. It could never happen, because you're a responsible dog owner etc.

But what if it did?



Because I'm sure that the owners of most dogs that attack people are responsible dog owners, too.

[baldguy]

21. What if you just happened to run over someone with your car?

I know, I know. It could never happen, because you're a responsible driver etc.

But what if it did?



Because I'm sure that drivers that run over people are responsible drivers, too.

[Orrex]

22. Well, I wouldn't pretend that cars aren't dangerous

You know, the way a preposterously naive person might pretend that pit bulls aren't dangerous.


Why are you afraid of the question?

[baldguy]

23. But you would support having someone shoot you in the head, right?

Because that's what you want for my dog.

[Orrex]

24. Where the hell did I say that?

Or are you just making shit up?

[Scootaloo]

28. Several DU posters have advocated pre-emptive killing of dogs

Which is what baldguy is talking about. We even had a thread showing cases of the animals having their faces melted off with acid, and a poster asserted that doing this was "for the public good."

Seems to me that advocating the elimination of a living being whose only crime is being a favorite pet of assholes isn't very much in DU's spirit.

[Orrex]

36. Fair enough, but I've never advocated for such preemptive action

[baldguy]

29. What the fuck do you think happens when a banned breed bites someone?

The dog gets killed.

Is it your childish naivete that causes you to be so blind? Or is it just stupidity?

[XemaSab]

34. "Punish the deed, not the breed."

Under that motto, dogs that bite people SHOULD be put down.

Unless you're in favor of vicious dogs?

[Orrex]

40. Golly! You're as aggressive and hot-tempered as a pit bull!

If a dog attacks someone who hasn't instigated the attack (e.g., hasn't attacked the dog or the dog's owner and/or hasn't broken into the house) then I think that the dog should be put down. I also think that the owner should face enormous liability including fines, restitution and jail time, depending on circumstances.

Despite your rabid rejoinder, I haven't argued that anyone should kill your dog. Rather, I asked you what you would do if your dog attacked someone, and for some reason you still won't answer.


Instead, you post false accusations about me and call me stupid. With that being the case, why should anyone believe anything that you have to say about your beloved pit bulls?

[magical thyme]

45. there are places where they kill the dog even when the attack was clearly instigated

Provocation, even extreme provocation, hasn't stopped some people from killing dogs that simply tried to defend themselves.

And there are people on this board who have advocated killing all pitbulls period. And there are areas that are doing just that.

I used to dream of moving to Canada. Now I won't even consider it for fear that my very gentle lab/chow/x shelter dog would be killed because somebody might decide he looks like a pit bull. Because that is the standard. If a person in "authority" decides your dog is a pit bull, it is a pit bull and is killed.

And now that brainless, malicious and hateful mentality is migrating south.

If bald guy is upset, maybe that is the reason for it.

[Orrex]

16. I recently saw a thread viciously mauled by a pit bull

[uppityperson]

19. For ages I wished Du would have "topic of the day/week" forum, where repetitive posts on a subject

would end up, aka Teri Schiavo.

[bluedigger]

25. Sometimes things look like a pit bull post, but they're not.

You can't always tell.

[Skittles]

26. I'll take a pit bull over a gun humper ANY day

[Hoyt]

27. +1. Good way to put it.

[galileoreloaded]

30. you mean dog humper...right? nt

[Jasana]

31. A pit bull dog is no more dangerous then the person who owns them.

They can be violent and aggressive dogs when trained that way but again, it is the fault of the owner.

Do the repetitious threads get aggravating? Yes. That's why I'm going to go to my trash thread and enter the word "pitbull" on it. Same place I have entered "guns/gun"

A few sneak by but I am only assuming it's because I haven't figured out to use the nuances of the this board yet.

[sibelian]

33. TRASH. THREAD. N. T.

[idwiyo]

35. There should be a separate group for them. Just like Religion.

[randome]

38. Why create a separate group? 'Religion' does just fine!

[idwiyo]

41. Now that you mentioned it, I totally agree!

[magical thyme]

46. there already is. it's called Pets.

But the haters are probably afraid to go there because they'd be outnumbered and their hatred would bounce right back at them 10-fold.

[idwiyo]

47. I mean a debate group, like Religion. Pets looks like a safe haven group.

[Douglas Carpenter]

37. yes, except for pictures of bit bull puppies - which should be a mandatory requirement for all DU

members!

[randome]

39. Before I proceed, I'm a little curious. Does anyone know if this is a pit bull?

42. Yes. Though its pretending to be a Short-Hair Borderline Collie.
