Look at his lame speech ‘apology’...I don’t buy this at all.

He is not sorry or repentant.

That’s what I thought. I don’t think he realizes that the real crime was the unbelievable cruelty, harm and murder inflicted on those poor dogs.

Instead, he apologized to the NFL and to kids. That was nice, but he missed the real issue.

The only thing he’s sorry about is getting caught. If his buddy didn’t get caught with pot, Vick would still be reaping the benefits from breeding and killing dogs. H

Jesus helps those who repent satan and all his trappings and seek salvation willingly. Not some guy that wants to play football again and keep his houses while he’s in the joint.

Seriously, you'd see less outrage if he had killed a baby.

Now it's like people just want him to kill himself, if for no other reason than spite. So they can feel smug about it.

I didn’t say animals were the same as human children, Bosco. I believe abusers of animals or children should rot in hell because they prey on the helpless.

I remember seeing a video of OJ confessing Jesus as his savior. You can say that all you want. It’s the change in your heart, your attitude and your life style that is the key. God is not mocked.

Maybe they’ll let Vick play in the Korean football league.

I hear they eat dog before every game.

I agree:

1. Sometimes we all have to bottom out before we turn to God. That’s the way it has worked with human beings since Adam.

2.I understand why dog fighting and gambling are illegal, but in my mind this isn’t exactly the crime of the century. I don’t understand the hatred towards Vick.

Oh, you’ll grow up alright. You’ll be a full 12-18 months older before you have the chance to do this again.

That’s because his lawyers haven’t told him to admit guilt. This man will not say anything without their approval.

“When does he appear on Oprah?”

At which time, Opracist will demand an apology from all of white suburbia, for making Vick the way he is.

Part II will be a Reparations Special, because you see, abhorrent, disgusting sadistic violence to dogs has its roots in the devilry of the white man......slavery.

Vick will be a hero in prison since he will be considered a victim of racial oppression. Look for him to start a fight club among the inmates to keep himself amused.

Christianity is exactly made for someone in his situation. If he’s sorry, he’s sorry. There is no reason to doubt that.

You can’t find a single reason to doubt Vick’s sincerity? Not one?

Not his protestations of innocence when the story first broke? Not the fact that this has been going on for years?

Were I ever the defendant in a criminal trial, I would want you on my jury (and that is more of a compliment that not).

What Vick did was an outrage. It was also illegal and he’ll pay the price for his wicked ways. He deserves all the trash talking he gets. Having said that, a little perspective is needed.

Americans should be even more outraged about Roe v Wade, abortion on demand and the killing of almost 50 million unborn children since 1973.

Guess killing dogs fits in with our pop culture mentality, but killing the unborn is accepted reality. After all, its the law of the land.

When the author, Jeffrey Archer was imprisoned in the UK, he wrote three books (The Prison Diaries I, II, III) about his experience. All three are worth the read.

"Through this situation I've found Jesus."

The cynic "finds Jesus", because there are always suckahs to fall for the trick. You see, "Jesus" is the secret password that will gain you favor with the influential Suckuh Club.
