I've got to it the sack so I'll make this quick...

There's a complete break from reality for you. You can train a dalamation anyway you want and I'll kill the damn thing with my bare hands.

You are reacting and not responding. You only focus on the example he has given as the most unlikely dog that would be thought of as killer and you completely ignore the body of his comment. You indeed might be able to kill the dalmation but I tell you this if you're sizeable man you would likely be able to kill any true pit bull as well. I know that I could...might get bit..but I'd kill it. Look at the attacks...how many fatalities are of strong healthy men.. very few. The majority of fatalities are to children and to the aged...those to weak to protect themselves.

Another example of a complete break with the truth that some dogs are far more dangerous than others. It always comes with the qualifier that "it's their upbringing" but this poster, like others, ignores the fact that crazed cocker spaniels can't kill or seriously injure. That's two

She has made a completely true statement. Because she has not included a totally different statement that you wish to see you start freaking out. God damn it man no one is saying that some dogs are not more capable of greater potential damage than others, but there is more to understanding the dynamics of dog attacks then just size of the breed.

Have a good night, I'll no doubt check back in the morning

LOL I don't know why you think I'm "freaking out" but you sound a little excited.

You only focus on the example he has given as the most unlikely dog that would be thought of as killer and you completely ignore the body of his comment.

First, I was giving you an example as per our discussion not responding to his comment at all so the point he was making is irrelevant to that. Secondly, he made the straigtforward claim that he could make a killer out a dalmation. I didn't choose it as "the most unlikely dog that would be thought of as a killer." Furthermore a dalmation is a good sized dog so it definitely is not the most unlikely choice for such an example. It's actually a pretty fair example.

She has made a completely true statement. Because she has not included a totally different statement that you wish to see you start freaking out.

Again, I was not responding to that poster and did not (and have not in any other circumstance) refuted the truth of the statement "it's their upbringing" or other similar statements. I rightly pointed out that it is a statement that ignores the difference between a badly raised fighting dog and a badly raised lap dog. That supports my earlier contention that has got you in such a tizzy. PB fans, like yourself, go out of your way to ignore and deflect from the fact that PBs have qualities and characteristics that make them very dangerous when they attack people. The fact that a few other dogs are too notwithstanding. I have made no judgments about PBs I have just pointed out those facts. Likewise I have made no judgments about you PB fans I have just pointed out the fact that your biases are strong and obvious.

...but I tell you this if you're sizeable man you would likely be able to kill any true pit bull as well.

I'm big enough. 6'2", 155 lbs and a former carpenter so I have good strength in my hands and forearms and know how to manage weight in motion. I also know that my friends old PB with bad hips is far more than I could handle and I would be lucky to just get away or pin it down much less kill it bare handed. But to get back to your point. I will grant that sizeable men can handle a PB. Since I'm pretty close to being one of them I can join you in the sentiment that women, children and old geezers can just carry a 12 ga. or go suck eggs.
