But Pit Bulls are really sweet and misunderstood.

My knee-jerk assumption is that you're being sarcastic...

Regardless: pits are misunderstood. People misunderstand how to handle them effectively, and when that misjudgement plays itself out in violence, folks hit one extreme or the other. I gave up painting the world in black-and-white a long time ago.

"When a man declares: "There are no blacks and whites, only grays" he is making a psychological confession, and what he means is: "I am unwilling to be wholly good -- and please don't regard me as wholly evil!"

"Regardless: pits are misunderstood."

I understand pit bulls. They are bred to to fight bulls and be extremely aggressive. Even though some of the aggression has been bred out in some of the lines, the fact is, a pit bull can never be relied upon not to ever exhibit it's inherent breeding.

I have a border collie. Even if I tried, I could not stop my collie from instinctively wanting to herd.

Dogs have been bred for certain work. To ascertain that any dog will some how over come what it has been bred for over centuries is pretty stupid imo.
