You know...it is amazing how judgmental a bunch of people can be, who PARTICIPATE IN AN ILLEGAL CULTURE in the USA. I mean come on, don't we all grow weed here? And isn't that shit illegal?? Some do it to "provide medicine", some do it to make money, and some do it just because its fucking fun to do, and they like to smoke weed. The point is, that everyone has their reasons for doing what they do, and unless you are that man, how can you speak on his choices? You can have your opinions of what he did...but to go as far as to insult his character, call him ignorant, etc...just seems like a little much from people who have to defend their right to do something that most see as totally unacceptable.
Cookie Monster, you too may burn in hell for the choices you have made, but yet you seem to be able to place yourself higher than another who's made his own bad choices.
I'm not defending Vick, as I think dog fighting is cruel, but we have a lot to learn as people.

i'm actually surprised he was allowed to play again. dog fighting revolves around gambling, and i didnt think the nfl would risk him betting on his own games
Yall are totally missing the point. Its cool, continue with your "opinions". Have a great day.
ExactlyNo, I don't see your point. I jay-walked yesterday and then flipped off the person who honked at me... it was wrong and unacceptable, but nowhere near Vick's level of evil.
What's the view like from those ivory towers?
There are many social ills in America that I don't give two shits about, but cruelty to dogs is not one of them.What's the view like from those ivory towers?
Hammerhead had it correct....some of you people make me physically ill with your selective vitriol
lol
man perceptions are wack
the culture he is talking about is very black and very ghetto and yeah its a mother fucking world apart from many others
substitute slanging crack for dog fighting because in that culture both are socially acceptable
I'm no vic fan but unless the man still fights or promotes dog fighting i don't understand the need to condemn him
funny how a bunch of fucking white dudes can bitch and moan about a black dude killing dogs but you never hear an uproar when a black star talks about killing people or marginalizing women.
in fact if it was one of those threads im sure he would be held in a different light entirely
food for thought since many of you are gonad say some stupid shit like you "know the ghetto" but it is painfully obvious from your comments, you do not
funny how analogous the lack of compassion he had for the dogs is found here for him
i guess if you put it out there it will perpetuate
if your pissed off about a world without compassion, put a little out there and see what the cause and effect is, don't hide it away and perpetuate hate and judgement cause its just keeping that vibe alive
in the most simple terms
I did not read his response in the article as
"don't sweat me cause dog fighting aint no thing"
i read it as
"why are people sweating me harder over dog fighting than selling/using coke or heroin ro any of the other horrors that occur in the ghetto"
and hes right
when people have a greater emotional vestment with animals than people their objectivity regarding humanity is off
and its very common among growers to withdraw from society, befriend animals and plants because they are tired of the human dynamic but its one they will never escape
selfless compassion is the key to unlocking human understanding
its the best hope we have for change
kinda got me thinking...
i'm intimately acquainted with dog fighting and it's history..
"these days"(say the last 40 years)dog fighting is exponentially less acceptable than ever in this countries history.
before anyone gets nutty:
i dont(and have never)roll dogs
I am totally unable of passing across my point. Its cool, continue with your "opinions". Have a great day.
the idea that anyone should be barred from plying their legal trade after serving their time is vindictive and counterproductive...
vick can play ball now. in all likelihood he will refrain from dog fighting in the future with the added scrutiny. bar him from football,remove the spotlight and the ability to earn? sure as shit more dogs get fought...
