Wrong.

You a Lakers fan?

I appreciate it and will take you up on it. I am a Lakers fan. Not as obsessed with them as I am the Chiefs but I'm a fan. I don't care how good the Clippers get, the Lakers are still my team.

I usually try to get down for a couple games a season although I didn't go last year. Should be interesting to see how they do this year. I really hope this Bynum kid turns into something special.

Working with Kareem he has a shot. Certainly seems to have the heart for it. He should see more action this year.

You can't create legislation to keep "stupid people" from owning them, so that argument is STUPID.

While HIPPA prevents me from disclosing info, I can tell you that a poodle mauled a 19 month old about 3 weeks ago.

Kids face looked like it went through a meat grinder. Less than 10 days ago, a 24 month old was mauled by a chihuahua. Kid had friggin bite marks all over her arms. Blood everywhere.

But a poodle or chihuahua isn't as spectacular a story as a (gasp) pit bull

Sweet this must mean there is now a standard, so Gladstone is saying you cannot be a wacko liberal democrat. They are saying if you want to be one you are welcome to live elsewhere...

My ex wife and I used to raise show quality Irish Wolfhounds, so I don't entirely agree with this, although I know little about bulldogs.

One of our dogs we sold to a friend of mine in Wichita. He had neighbors that had a Pit Bull and a Rot in their back yard. On occasion when my friend fed his dog the Rot would jump the fence and eat his food when he was away from it. The Wolfhound would always chase the Rot to the fence and stop when the Rot jumped back into his back yard. One time the Wolfhound followed the Rot over the fence, killed the Pit Bull and maimed the Rot, which died two weeks later.

Wolfhounds have incredible speed, endurance and strength. Many use them to run down and kill Coyotes. There isn't a more loyal dog out there.

The man in this picture is 6' tall.

I was using a poodle as an example, there are exceptions to every rule but I can tell you that a boot to the snout of a poodle will ensure that he will NEVER **** with you again whereas a Bull will drag your boot down the street with you in it.

That's it, I'm calling the city council now!

I'm not against Pit Bulls in any way shape or form. I signed a petition here in Augusta KS to keep them. It failed... All owners of registered Bulls here were allowed to keep them unless an issue arose with them, but no more are allowed. I'm just saying that the argument about "stupid" owners will never help achive your goals of keeping them around.

Damn straight! Dodging mack trucks quickens the reflexes.
