Where is that pit bull thread when I need it?

[bigb]

I realize this is going way back in the thread, but I have something to say about this.

I cannot begin to tell you all how stupid the phrase, "Pit Bulls were bred to kill or attack" is. Really? So you mean to tell me that if I buy a chocolate lab or any lab for that instance that I can just shoot a duck and that dog will know to go retrieve the duck and bring it back to me without any training at all? Given that they are mostly "bred" to duck hunt? Give me a break.

As far as your relation to labs: Like I said earlier, I currently have two labs. I bought both of them at 5 weeks of age. The first time I ever sat down with them at home they would retrieve things and bring them right back to me. Granted, it wasn't picture perfect and exactly as it should have been, but they brought it to me. At 5-6 weeks old. With no "training". It's bred into them. That's what they do.
In general, I agree with your statement about Pit Bulls. I've seen and dealt with sweet and nice pit bulls. But that doesn't change the fact that they are a dangerous breed.

A weapon is also something used for defense (as the posted definition said). Cropped ears prevent damage during a fight. Something that prevents the dog from taking damage during a fight, therefore allowing the dog to inflict more damage (win the fight) is a weapon.

If your argument is with that definition, take it up with dictionary.com. I didn't make the definition up, I just agreed with it.

It may prevent the dog from taking damage during the fight, but it does not therefore allow the dog to inflict more damage. The dog can still inflict the same amount of damage as it could when it had "uncropped" ears. Sharpening the teeth or claws may allow the dog to inflict more damage.

Just because some person puts a definition on the internet does not mean it is right.

Definition of WEAPON
1
: something (as a club, knife, or gun) used to injure, defeat, or destroy
2
: a means of contending against another

There, this website does not mention anything about defense, so I'm right. Hahahaha nannna nanna boo boo
My internet site is better than yours.

I disagree with the dictionary.com definition in that the definition is either poorly worded, or the person that wrote the definition did not think it through. Because you agree with it, I also disagree with you.

I throw down the gauntlet, I slap you in the face with a glove, I challenge you to a duel.
The weapon of choice, is ... duhdunduh... "Cropped Ears"... To the Death!!!!

SaltyDawg: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king. Oh, and cropped ears are weapons.

JazzSpazz: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony, and cropped ears are not weapons.

JazzSpazz: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you, and internet websites are not the authority on the english language.

JazzSpazz: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

Disagree with it all you want. Just know that arguing it here does you no good because I didn't invent it.

And yes, preventing damage during a fight does enable you to inflict more damage. If you are incapacitated (which cropping the ears helps to prevent), you can't inflict damage.

And trout always presents such a good argument.

True. You're just the dolt that is sticking with a poor, if not outright wrong, definition to base their opinion on.

UFC fighters should get castrated. Not having to worry about getting kicked in the 'nads would be one powerful weapon!

If you think it's a poor or wrong definition, take it up with dictionary.com. I think they're a much higher authority on the English language than any of the idiots disagreeing with them on this site.

An even better weapon would be something that helps prevent them from feeling pain, losing blood, and helps them maintain consciousnesses longer.

Of course he can't, but he's sure going to try.

ironic screen name if you ask me...

anyone else wonder what breed he had in mind when he chose it?



What's the primary argument here, anyhow? I've lost track.


(oh and Salty, I wasn't at all offended by your comments about implants, I was amused. Sorry if that didn't quite come across)

Is your skin a weapon against anything?
If so, how does your skin, alone, damage or cause harm to something else?

I saw a naked picture of Rosie O'Donnell once on the internet. I went blind for about a month. If that's not a weapon, I don't know what is.
