About all these Pit Bull threads (positive & negative)

Posted on 04/22/2009 11:35:59 AM PDT by Peace4EarthNow

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!!

Everyone just get along, doggone it! Because if you don’t it is the pits — no bull.

Malarkey! If we start doing this why bother with the forum. Defend your position and if it gets to hot go to another thread. I’ve argued both sides of this issue depending on the story.

That poster thinks I’m an 0bama fan because of my sign up date. Not the brightest knife in the forest.

I did say “as a rule” in my previous post ;-). People working with venomous snakes professionally are taking a calculated risk. They might not always be as cautious as possible, but that’s different from “Hold my beer and watch this!”

I wonder how some would feel about pit bulls if they were named Terri Schiavo.

Comment of the day!

To some around here, even Ronald Reagan would be a “RINO”.

Fortunately for my friend, she’d usually get a strike after the milkings, not before.

Our corn snake bit my husband’s thumb once. I guess it looked just like a dead mouse!

No, this is a place for discussions and disagreement and debate. If you only can handle hearing from people that believe the way you do, form a support group.

We’ve got too many people here who want to post controversial items and prevent others from saying anything opposed to it. This is a discussions forum. This isn’t a caucus topic either.

Nobody has a right to say anything they want and be free from criticism. I don’t get upset at people criticising me. I get upset when they assume things I didn’t say, or distort what I’ve said, or didn’t read what I actually wrote; if you’re going to criticize someone, it’s only polite to do it for a real reason, not misreading or assuming something that wasn’t there.

Did you hear about the new breed in pet shops?

They crossed a pit bull with a collie; it bites your leg off and goes for help.

woof woof

I don’t know Chet’s agenda but I don’t bother to read his threads any more.

Forget the pit bulls. Its the chihuahuas that are hard to deal with. The damn Mexican dogs just as soon bite a vet as look at him.

“Who says we’re all Republicans, by the way?”

I’ll second that!
