Never said that, but if you've ever looked at my posts, which would probably do you some good to look into the person you're coming into a discussion with...
Plenty of people have pretended to be something they aren't. Off top, Myrrh has a thread here where a female found out he was a guy, even though he was telling her he was a girl during their elationship.
Just because I partake of the meat that was put on earth to be harvested for the betterment of those higher on the food chain does not mean I should have no feeling for those that are domesticated for companionship and entrusted to the owner to care for, nourish and support for the totality of their lifespan.
LOL, the meat you eat wasn't put on this earth, it was bred and raised by someone who treats them horribly. They are packed into their living areas without room to even move, but I guess it's ok cause it isn't a dog? Is that what you're saying? Only domesticated animals matter to you? Cool, guess I won't send you that packet on endangered animals out there.
On the point of your "business" defense, if you are looking to protect your team/company and partners, investing in someone with incredibly bad PR with connections to alleged (incredibly) illegal activity that involves the harm and abuse of innocent animals. Animals that some would judge as children, because you'll hear just about any dog-owner say, "Oh he's like a little person, that's my baby!". I, as an investor in a very large technical firm, would be VERY displeased to learn that my money was helping (even in some miniscule way) feed something so horrid and negative. That's an automatic pull out for me. The investors themselves, should just (and possibly are) say "You know what, get rid of that fucking blemish on our record... or we walk".
When the Falcons first invested in Vick he didn't have bad PR. I wouldn't call his activities "incredibly" illegal, because as Strid pointed out, the local law tends to turn a blind eye, or even participate in this activity.
Yeah... have you seen anywhere, that I am boasting the moral fabric and social education of our city? No actually, if you would have read earlier posts, I stated that this type of illegal activity is prevalent in my area. The reason they get such little jailtime and fines, that our own mayor may find personal entertainment value in such atrocious activities. I never boasted that we're the Pitbull Haven of the nation, did I? A rescue center on every street corner? No, I said that the breed of dog is ILLEGAL here, because of fucking idiot morons just like Mr. Vick here. A+ for effort though, really.
You told us that your area would have anyone all on the news for these atrocities, which is bogus. I live in one the most tree hugging areas in this country, and they could give a shit less about a pit bull. They are killed by the 100s in shelters, and I don't see anyone raising an eyebrow. Is dog fighting shitty? Yes, is it the worst thing a person can do? By far it isn't. These dogs were bred to fight, they were bred to kill bulls. They are trained to kill all sorts of shit because they have a never quit mechanism inside of them that will only let them see victory. That is how Pit Bulls were bred.
Yes, because the likes of PETA are all incredibly educated on the ins and outs of QB stats, right? I can totally see Pam Anderson having the same stats conversation with you as the gentlemen before us did... Uneducated? Take a look at what you're posting, and then get back to me on that. You're obviously not seeing past you the entertainment value Vick brings to the football games you so lovingly obsess over. If you ever worked in a marketing firm, or a Human Relations position, as I have.. you'd know that Vick was toast, if not immediately, quite soon afterwards.
I obsess more over football, than some crusade to ruin michael vicks life. Things aren't looking good for him, and the sole reason is his fame, nothing else. Again, look at Strid's post, local law doesn't give a shit about dog fighting.
As for you smart-assed comment? Did I come in here and say something about you as a man? Or something about your nationality? No, I sure as fuck didn't. You straight-up told me, without even knowing me to even let it be tongue-in-cheek, to be quiet and go cook or clean something... Real classy. You're only making yourself look stupid here, Meeze. Your reasoning is completely off-base, and you're still derailing.
Great job man, seriously.
You made a comment about the people who were posting about football in here. I made a comment about the idiots that think football shouldn't be discussed in a topic about a...FOOTBALL player. BTW, your post about the "derailment" (which obviously isn't a derailment because the topic is about football, and how the NFL is dealing with it) was the biggest derail in this thread.
Just edit it out, I'll wait for you and follow suit.
