Then again, people actually read what people say here?

What little shred of respect I had for you just went up in smoke. It's not only mildly pathetic that you feel this way, it's an outright indictment on your character. Sad, Jeff, truly sad.................

I really hope that you are not thinking I actually give a damn that you had respect for me in the first place. Sorry, just keeping it real.

Peace

Well, his post was not that funny. You go ahead and live your life as you choose, and feel free to ignore our input. You are right, it doesn't matter at all whatever people say on this forum. It's a free-for-all at best, and we are all free-thinkers. Each of us has the right to our own opinions and the right to express them. Just keep in mind that your opinions in this matter are in the minority. That means that less than 50% of the people feel the way you do. See how condescending that sounds when someone tells you what something means, as if you didn't already know?

Whether Rutledge wants to admit it or not, he is in the minority on this one. Most people are very outraged about it, and feel Vick got off easy. Just read any blog or forum about the case, and you will see the vast majority of folks feel that Vick showed no remorse and is not in the least sorry for his actions. Sorry he got caught is what he is. He called his crimes "immature." Yeah, like most 14 year olds are running dog fighting rings. He still has not said that what he did was sick, repulsive and disgusting, which tells me that he's not really sorry.

Rutledge, I grew up in a very rural setting. My dog had the run of 2/3 acre plus a huge field (5 or 6 acres) next to our house. Nobody I know of abused their animals. And I've never met anyone who puts their dog in a purse as a fashion accessory. You are confusing celebrities with the real people again. You watch too much TV.

Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison which was a half year longer than the prosecution asked for. It is also in keeping with sentences for similar offenders. Most people who have an opinion seem to have been hoping for something on the order of 5 days in the electric chair, but the sentence he got was neither too harsh or too lenient.
