Those are all ongoing things, some of which will probably not ever change.
Vick is a current event and therefore is in the spotlight for now.
I suppose no mention could be made of these types of offenses right? How much are people allowed to show outrage Hedge? What is the acceptable amount according to you?
Those types of statements get no less idiotic no matter how many times you say them.
And this IS the Pet Board FFS. duh!
I have no problem with the discussion as such.
It's the proportions it's taken.
C'mon flower - Vick is one of the most hated persons in the USA.
It shouldn't be like that.
There are literally thousands of things that are more important to get up in a bunch about than his BS.
Dog bones looking like Vick?
Petitions to get him canned from NFL?
Where are the petitions to do something about child sex tourism? Where are the petitions to do something about the situation on Africa's Horn?
It's been long gone since I thought Vick got what he deserved from the media and the public.
Of course I think he should be put on trial, and if found guilty, get whatever sentence he'll get.
But I definitely support his rights to get back into the NFL and not having to excuse his sorry ass for the rest of his life after serving his sentence.
I have a big problem with the mob mentality that arises.
That's why it's good to see some other suggestions than "let him get in with the dogs" and stuff like that.
