Over at Moparts there is an ongoing keyboard war going on over Pit Bull owners and rabid ANTI Pit Bull zealots.
I used to have a bad opinion of them until I met a few. Oddly, I had the same experience with Mexican people. Okay, bear with me here...
As a kid and a young adult, I didn't know many Mexican people and few Black people. All I knew was what I saw in movies and on TV. They always seemed to show Mexicans as bandits, car theives, gang members or lazy guys in a hammock. I'm serious...Until I worked in construction and actually worked with them, I didn't have any real world interaction to form a fair opinion. It turns out, they are really no different aside from their language. They want to work as much as any productive American, they are very family oriented and have a great sense of humor.
Now onto the subject of Pit Bull dogs: I recall hearing of how vicious they are, how they attack with no reason and are impossible to control. I heard that they can get to be 100 lbs of muscle and have locking jaws.....THEN I met a few that were as docile as a Yellow Labrador, would lay on the couch and in your lap, would lick you as if you were a popsicle on a hot July day...Then I realized again that I had fallen for the hype yet again.
You really can't be sure of your opinion on a subject when you believe what you hear from the media.
