I read somewheres int he last few days that for some years, rap stars like Snoop Dog have glorified dog fighting in their songs/videos. Is this true? If so, why hasn't SD lost his commercial endorsements. He did an ad for Chrysler last year, IIRC.
Your comments about the degration of culture, society are 100% correct. However, I thnk Vick is a different case entirely, far worse. He's what, 28???.yet he's been involved in the dog fighting culture for 6 or more years. That's about 21-22.. Psychological studies of serial killers show they just don't start out killig women..they build up to it over some years..they start out torturing animals, maybe arson. So Vick had to be doing lots of bad stuff for years as a teenager..he didn't just oen day "jump" into the blood-sport pit of dogfighting...
Vick's involvement in dog fighting would appear to go back to his days at VA Tech (ironic in light of your serial killer comment). I can't really say that he's a fledgling Ted Bundy, but the methods he (allegedly) employed to kill these animals certainly makes me concerned. That being said, I'm alot more concerned about the harm being done to the women that Snoop has pimped out over the years than I am about any number of dead dogs. But that's just me.
