So what your saying is that he HAS paid his debt to society, BUT since he is a public figure and Idolized by kids he should have to PAY more, so we can teach kids that there are double standards in everything we do?

No dear, but i DO think that it CAN send a mixed message to people/kids. IMO

BECAUSE, whether we want to admit it or not..kids DO try to imulate these famous sports stars...They look up to them...


heehehe, i quoted myself...

How bout the USA passes a law that drunk drivers should be executed and not given a second chance EVER. I would rather have a dog fighter live miles away then a Drunk driver living next door yet judges give DWI convictions a dont do it again attitude because everyone does it, then when they appear again for DWI without a license the judge just gives them more time before they can get a license???

Where was execution and drunk driving mentioned?

I know that I never mentioned, or compared, drunk driving to dog fighting.

All I said was that maybe the NFL shouldn't allow convicted criminals to play ball. I don't care what they're convicted of, they shouldn't be permitted to play.

You're bringing up judges, and I'm talking about the NFL. That's not even apples and oranges.

Would you feel the same way if his crime affected you personally? Say, he assaulted your child? Would you say the same thing?

Some things you can never atone for.

Hey it wasn't a child was it!

He served his time.

Well look at the alternative, drug users, cheating spouses, Pimping singers, abusive spouses etc..... I guess looking up to a dogfighter isnt so bad after all.

That's funny and a great observation too.

Not really..big differance beak..and you know it.

I dunno ....I had a coyote get 6 of my babies 2 weeks ago... it was soo clean, no feathers no nothin, I thought they were stolen, My poor babies raised from chickhood by me. 2 days later the coyote came back and got 2 right in the front yard, but I was ready. My 12 gauge was loaded and by the door. Sadly it jammed as I was pulling one into the receiver. I did get a shot off but I missed that darn yote.

2 dead chickens in the yard and what emotion came over me? Euphoria. I felt Alive for the first time in a long while. A real life or death battle in my front yard between my self and a coyote. All I could think about was where to get more chickens.....to lure in more coyotes. Coyote hunting must have been my real passion all along and I never knew it. Now, day and night I feel the blood lust. I just want to feel my finger on that trigger blowing the head off of coyotes or dogs or whatever. I know im a freak but I cant help myself. I see dead canines when I sleep, and it all began innocently with chickens. help me!

NFL is a JOB so apple to apples if you get arrested for any crime you should no longer be allowed to work? DWI is a crime, if your gonna take away one persons livelyhood take everyones away REGARDLESS of the crime...

Gamesbirdsonly..He still took the lives of living things for his personal gain.. Caused them pain and basically put them through torture and mental torment. Its not fun being a dog used for fighting..its a very cruel thing to do..a very sick thing to do to a living creature.

 

[gamebirdsonly]

Still not a human. I still see the difference between a dog and child.

Be carefull the state guidelines for dead canines is tough, and you will never be allowed in the NFL again. Wait thats for fighting canines not for shootin them, either way happy hunting.
