That being said. Soundbytes will be taken out of context and his speech will be spun. It started as soon as the speech was finished. It's really starting to get annoying. It's upsetting that this is what politics has come to in what is supposed to be the greatest country in the world.

I really saw nothing wrong with his NAACP speech. I liked what he had to say actually. I think he had a good message.

Search: Mr. Turner Simply hilarious.

He's lying. They're all lying. What the average american doesn't understand is that these politicians will say whatever it is that they think will get them elected. I mean, you can't blame them it's s money, but these guy's are untrustable. Im a Obama supporter by far, and I realize that he is lying to. It's about being real.

This may be the case. I originally meant to refer to the website as a great source for international news, which is a claim that is not disputed in the transcript.

This article is about Aljazeera TV. He left because they did a story on poor people, and the plight of Chiapis farmers in Mexico. It seems like this is something that needs to be brought to the light and reported on. If you think about it, most around the world see the US as a bunch of rich sinners. They know nothing of the poverty and pain in the US, since the only news coming out is about Brittany or Lindsay. Also, this is not at all close to all of what Aljazeera has to offer.

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/55ABE840-AC30-41D2-BDC9-06BBE2A36665.htm Aljazeera english is something a friend told me about a while ago. I checked it out and I really liked it. It seems to have very little spin in any direction. I sugggest you check it out.

http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petbull/findpit.html One last thing. See if you can actually find the pit bull. It may be harder than you think, there are around 23 different types of dog labeled "Pit bull type" and so your the numbers aren't as cut and dry as you think. Another factor is the fact that recentley pit bulls have become the popular "macho" dog to have for irresponsible owners which in turn drives the numbers up. German shepards were responsible for the most deaths in the 70's while Rottweilers led the way in the 90's. Alright. I'm really done now.

Those that attacked humans were / are also killed by people who illegaly fight them. Dog's are products of training. It is not all about instincts and bred behavior with dog's. It's about that combined with training. Pit's were not bred to be killers, they were bred to be strong, and tenacious at whatever it is they are trained to do. That is why they make great police / search and rescue dogs. How do you explain the pit's that are classified as "losers" because they wont fight. Years of genetic modification by humans should have gotten rid of that right? I think I have said all that I can say on this. Anything more will be a waste of my time, because it is clear that I will not be able to change alot of people's mind on the issue and I would just be repeating myself. I know through personal appearances that it is foolish to paint an entire breed of dog with such a broad brush and I would hope that something like this would never be passed into law, because it would really do us no good at all.

This same mindset is what make's some people think that all Muslims are terrorists, or that all black people are criminals, or that all white people are racist's. It's silly to me. Sorry for getting off subject.

America's masct during WWII was a Pit Bull Pit Bulls make great police dog's. Helen Keller and her pet Pit Bull. :scared: The number one dog in the US customs is a Pit. America's first decorated war dog was a Pit named stubby during WWI. Bud, the first dog to travel across the US in an automobile was a Pit. His goggles are in the Smithsonian. The pit bull is the only breed of dog to grace the cover of Life magazine 3 times. Between 1963 and 2001 there have been 37 dog breeds responsible for 431 deaths in the US. Westie Irish Setter St. Bernard Newfoundland Brittany Spanial Pomeranian And Dauchsund's have all killed in this period. The Staffordshire bull terrior, which is a breed that is considered a "Pit bull type" and would be banned has killed none. Genetic aggression has to do with the strain of a particular dog, not the entire breed. In 1865, the Boston Terrier was brought over for the same reason as the Pit bull. To fight other dogs. It is a fact that training and socialization have more effect on a dogs personality than do genetics. The owner is the one who dictates what type of dog he / she will have. Tell me why I should not be able to have a Pit bull or any other type of dog if I am a responsible owner.

We actually have a Pit hound boxer mix, but people assume he is a Pit because of his body type and his head.

Watch this video, please. It say's essentially what I'm trying to say. Mind you, I bought into the media hype before we adopted our dog ( not knowing what breed he was ) from the pound. We wouldn't have gotten him if we had known what breed he was due to the way that these dog's have been painted. Our dog is the most affectionate loving dog I've ever had or seen. He play's ( supervised ofcourse ) with the kid's around the neighborhood and they all love him. He is obedient, loving and affectionate. Pit bulls will be the absolute best at what you want them to be. Unfortunatley that is why some choose to train them to fight. Just a bit of info. The first recipient of a face transplant was attacked by a.... Lab I for one did not know that. I garuntee if it had been a Pit I would have known.

What about my choice to select the breed of dog that I want. There is risk with any breed of dog. Dog's have been domesticated though, and when trained properly can act as a loving companion and pet. If you don't raise a child properly there is a distinct chance that they will turn out to be MUCH more dangerous than a pitt bull. ie: Charles Mansen, Ted Bundy, Lee Malvo, Columbine shooter etc... It just doesn't make much sense to me to outlaw a breed because it is, like any other breed larger than 40-50 pounds, dangerous when not trained / socialized properly. What do you think about Dobermans, or Rottwielers, St. Bernards, Akita's, Bull Mastiffs, Bull dogs, Chows, Labs, Retrievers, Huskies, Great Danes? I've heard stories of all of these types of dogs becoming aggressive and killing, mauling, and maiming. Should we ban these types as well? What about Jack Russells, and Chiuauas ? They are pretty aggressive and could actually hurt a pretty small child. Cats can scratch and give you a pretty bad sore that could become infected. I don't even need to talk about the risks of having a Boa constricter or a Pyton as a pet. Where do you draw the line. All of these are animals and there are inherent risks to irresponsible owners. I have personally seen more aggression shown towards humans from a Chocolate lab than I have from Pitt bulls. Thats just my personal experience though. Do I think that Chocolate labs should be banned? No. I Just think that the responsibility should fall on the owner to properly socialize and train their dog at a young age to prevent these things from happening.

That is not the dog from the little rascals. Here he is. and yes, he was a pitt bull. I know I know, scary vicious child maulers. Its all about how you raise them, and unfortunatly too many pitt bulls have fallen into the hands of people like Mike Vick who abuse them making them dangerous violent dogs. This has given the breed a bad name that it does not deserve.
