Yes, it's one giant motherfucking conspiracy that the media and rest of the world to ruin the name of the breed. Do you really think its that disproportionate? Obviously media stories are not the most accurate but you can't honestly think bias alone could account for the disparity.
Oh, wait, yeah, you do. So, there ends the conversation. 99% of the public and mad jack forum sees the obvious truth yet we must have some agenda against pits.
Saint,
Are you even capable of forming a cogent reply to anything I stated, or do I just need to resign myself to the fact that every reply from you will contain the same nonsensical blather as the previous? Although it seems pretty clear that there is one, I never said anything about a media bias of the breed. I never stated anything about a conspiracy, that was all you. You also assume your position to be emblematic of an entire 99% of not only MJ's but the world in itself. You firmly ensconce yourself into what you think is popular majority. What a surprise there.
Take this moment to learn something. A bias would indicate that there is a measured proclivity to only report on that particular breed. Do you think that kitty cats bite and scratch kids? How about a Pomeranian, a chihuahua, or a parrot? Why no parrot attack stories? Do you think the media, prior to reporting, checks all the facts on the dog in question? Do you think they assure the dog is indeed an American Staffordshire Terrier and not a boxer mix? You stated that the media can't be trusted. Do you honestly think that news outlets don't consider what sells? Do you really think that media cares about facts when it has sources that can be named? Also, breed specific laws relating to pit bull ownership are in place in several cities and counties across the country. So the media reports more on pit bull attacks because of sensationalism. Laws have been created to put down dogs simply because they are pit bulls within county borders, and you don't think there is a bias? What the fuck would you call it?
Let's get some facts out right away. You have no working knowledge of the breed in question. You have no expertise whatsoever in the field of canine genetics, behavior, or training, yet in your own typically narcissistic manner you proclaim to know my perspective on the matter.
Face it bro, you were born to be a follower. You excel in succumbing to currently popular sentiment. I don't mean that in a bad way either. The world needs followers just like it needs leaders, and ditch diggers and dentists. You need people to tell you how to fix the brown patch in your yard. You need people to tell you that it's okay to think all your black customers (I didn't use patients because that would imply that you are a licensed care giver rather than a service provider) that have cell phones and Jordans are on welfare and don't pay their bills. There is nothing wrong with that. Just don't proclaim that your opinions, as ignorant as they may be, are the definitive position on any subject.
Hope this helps,
FDC
