I liked your post. But prostitution, gambling, adultery, indecent exposure are all culturally unacceptable in the West for many years too, right?

All of those "activities" involve humans only (except in Bruces case,j/k) Dog fighting is comlpletely different having no comparison to them.

Do you eat meat, wear leather?

No. I don't believe any literate individual with an IQ above 65 and access to newsmedia believes Vick has been convicted yet since he was just indicted.

Regardless of whether or not you think image is an issue, or I think it's an issue, or anyone else thinks it's an issue, the NFL has made it pretty clear that it is an issue with the league - or else they wouldn't have suspended him for being charged (not convicted) of these crimes.
I think people who make assumptions without facts are idiots and should be ignored and/or treated as such, no matter how many of them their are.
I will bet you a golden football if he is acquitted he will get his old job back and that is as it should be.

Thats a long stretch -
I eat meat & no I don't wear leather. I don't eat veal though. Does that count for anything?

So, cockfighting is okay because it's "cultural" (and chickens, incidentally, aren't terribly personable), but dogfighting, which likely has a longer history and cultural ties is not?

What if one of the dogs had gotten loose?
I'd like to see your opinion on raising rodeo bulls based on this.

I said that I'm a vegetarian and believe in animal rights. Of course I'm opposed to rodeos.

Please tell me smurf, what are the facts? The proven, known, facts in the Vic case, to date?

Also, I am not a believer that all aspects of one's life affects all other aspects of their life. Some things are none of your damn business.

Exactly the kind of answer I was expecting.
Emotional and lacking any value what-so-ever, again.
Thanks for proving my point, again.

Right... *I'm* the one who can't follow a thread... *I'm* the one putting words in other people's mouths... *I'm* the one with nothing more intelligent to say other than "fuck you", "you're a cunt", "idiot", or brag about how educated I am.

You're aggressive and bitter and miserable, I assume this from my personal experience with your shitty attitude and lack of ability to contribute intelligently to a conversation without personally attacking people because you apparently have nothing better going on up there. Good for you.

I never wrote "fuck you", "you're a cunt" or bragged about how educated I am once.
I have used the word idiot in it's many wondrous forms.
I don't contribute to the forum?
Let's do a search on the threads you have started and mine and compare shall we? LOL!
You are still avoiding the topic & still emotionally lashing out... sad... but fun, keep it up.

I never said you did. I'm just classifying you with the rest of the people with nothing more intelligent to say other than "fuck you", etc. so I can discriminate against you for it.

Wow your momma must be so proud of you. She taught you well, I see.

Nope, not to this one. At least, not intelligently. Shit, even freshness has you beat with an effort.

Since I'm new around these parts, I wouldn't have started numerous threads, now would I?

Why are you hung up on this emotion thing? I'm certainly not emotional about you, but if you want to ahead and think I am, you go right ahead. I'm flattered.
