It is not MY cruel pit bull culture! But YOU are attacking me. Don't you dare!

Your comment was unbelievable to me. I thought baldguy was making it up. That is the only reason I asked. I thought he was exaggerating.

It sounds like you are far too emotionally involved to be rational about the subject. I get that. I have my own pet issue. But I have never treated anyone as offensively - even those who disagree with me or say cruel things. And believe me, I win when it comes to the cruel things people say.

So, don't take your problems out on me. You are the one posting over the top declarations.

"The pit bull, as a breed, needs to be killed off." Pit bulls scare the crap out of me. But I don't want to kill them off. There is no creature on this earth I want to kill off.
