For quite some time now, FReepers on both sides of this pit bull issue have been arguing, attacking, & harassing the "other side". What has this accomplished? Unfortunately very little except anger & strife amongst fellow republicans on this message board.
I think it has gotten to the point now where both sides should pretty much be able to concur that this is pointless, as it is unlikely that either side is going to change their mind.
We are all FReepers, and there is no use in turning against each other on any issue. We need to stay united to fight against political policies & laws that democrats are trying to implement.
Can we all agree from this point on, that not only do both sides have a right to post articles about pit bulls, either positive or negative, but that they have a right to discuss their views in their own thread without concern about the "other side" coming in to their thread to harass, attack or annoy them because of their views? (yes, I know that was a run on sentence...LOL!).
Basically, from now on, if you don't agree with the subject of the pit bull thread, either positive or negative, please, please don't go in it. Just let that "side" discuss it amongst themselves. If someone from "the other side" does come in to your thread & try to create trouble, just hit the "report abuse" button, then ignore them. Hopefully then they will get the message. This issue is not worth fighting amongst each other about.
I know that when these disagreements started in each others threads, I said some things that I regret, because that is not the type of person I am, or want to be. For that, I apologize.
So what do you say? Can both sides agree right now that we each have a right to disagree, and finally call a truce?
Thanks!!
Not to mention the Fundamentalist puppy mills.
Now why is that? Certainly there are two sides to every discussion ~ dog eats cat must necessarily have a cat eats dog perspective ~ but no one ever brings that up.
Now, look at things from the vantage point of the pitbull. He knows what he did, but imagine how tormented his soul will be if he's beset upon by a young child intent on tossing him in the oven for an early supper.
The same could happen with a cat.
Don’t forget the Hitler was nice to children argument (not sure which side makes that one).
I was trying to make a joke above.
Anyway, catz are evil. :)
Tell that to Chet99.
Caaaan’t we just all get along?
Brevity is the source of wit, Dr.
You’re just mad because my dog’s bigger than your dog.
Keep him away from rattlesnakes!
“... soul of wit.”
I’m an environmentalist, in my way. And of course, it’s political, too: only stupid people get bitten by venomous snakes, as a rule, and liberals are stupid!
LOL, I take issue with you calling me a Republican....
Come on....toughen up....this is a blog were all discuss both sides of issues, sometimes with passionate debate.....
Thanks. My grasp of the great quotes can be rather feeble at times, now that I’m old enough to have CRS syndrome.
:^)
“...and I am wearing milkbone underwear.”
LOL - 2nd best Norm Peterson response, ever. Best was, (to the question “How’s life treating you, Norm?”)
“Like it caught me sleeping with its wife.”
JUST LEAVE MEGHAN MCCAIN ALONE! LEAVE HER ALONE!
I wonder how some would feel about pit bulls if they were named Terri Schiavo.
I had a friend who kept venemous snakes, and the occaisional strike came from carelessness more than stupidity. When you’ve milked a snake a whole bunch of times, you get careless.
Very funny!
