Subject: Michael Vick
fromas ... actually, my stepson worked the past two summers at two 'pig factories' .. one in Michigan, the other at the largest producer in Iowa.
BOTH of these places are of the type I described above ... sanitary conditions with CONCRETE floors which are hosed and sanitized daily .. the excrement and wash all being pumped into containment ponds for treatment.
As for the number of pigs that we raised here .. that is irrelevant to the comments made, but the answer is: about 40 per year.

Humans are Omnivores ... hence the presence of canine teeth and bicuspids.
On the Vick 'issue': to quote a much more learned scholar than I ... "You reap what you sow".

Dogs are cute, and deserve protection. Pigs are ugly and hairy, and should live in doody. If Vick had fought pigs, then he'd be getting a parade.
Sound reasonable?

Havilcek would know.
He was around when we first evolved ;)

Why are you glad to see Michael Vick suffer?

Hmmm... let's see Islander lives in Maryland, Vick is from Virginia. Seems pretty clear to me cody...
because he knowingly, willingly, and actively participated and funded an illegal dog fighting farm. He also bet on said dog fights.
He tortured and executed dogs. Imagine if we did that to pro athletes who never lived up to their hype (like, say, Michael Vick).
Because he, like his younger brother, Marcus is deep down, a disreputable punk through his actions in his career.
That's why. Because people like him have no place in professional sports. The last thing we need is more inner city, or hell, suburbia kids playing football and looking up to a travesty to the human race like this clown.

I actually lived in Richmond VA for 10 years. I'm actually a New Yorker (long island) by birth and overall mentality.
I hated Richmond really, too many rednecks, too much NASCAR, etc, etc. I went to college in the Richmond area because I was paying my own way through college completely, and couldn't afford to go somewhere else I'd prefer (meaning out of the South).

I would like to see Michael Vick suffer because he is overrated. All overrated sports figures should be punished. I would particularly like to see any NY sports figure jailed or (even better) executed in painful ways (e.g. dismemberment, with the wounds covered in honey and fire ants,) as soon as possible. My next target after Vick is Eli Manning.
Wait. Manning stinks.
Ok, let's let him live.

haha, we could go after Donovan McPuke, couldn't we?
or anyone in the Mets current bullpen outside of Billy Wagner - just to show you I'm not being myopic here ;)
@jon
That would be most of the Yankees. I mean think about it if Jeter played for the Royals.....

Me?
I guess I just feel sorry for the guy. He's obviously not smart enough to steer clear of stuff like this (even though, I think, this is his first time getting in trouble. Don't confuse him with his little brother).
I guess I just get fed-up hearing animal cruelty stories topping the nation's headlines when there are so many more human cruelty stories out there that need attention. We live in a society where people treat their pets like children, and their children like pets, and the public overreaction to the Mike Vick situation is evidence of that.
Re-read my first post. I don't necessarily like the guy, figured he was just like his brother, and I turned out to be right.
Suspend him for a year without pay, fine him $100k, then let him back in. That's a harsh enough punishment to deter any professional sports figure from following in his shoes.
Grr, sometimes I hate the people I call my "countrymen". In America, you seem to have the right to life, liberty, and to be outraged.
LOOK AT ME, I'M OUTRAGED!!! I DEMAND ATTENTION!!!! I'M MORE OUTRAGED THAN YOU!!!!! I HAVE TWO DOGS AND AM OUTRAGED!!! I THINK HE SHOULD GET LIFE IN PRISON!!!! OH YEAH?? I THINK HE SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH!!!
Stoopid FN mob mentality. Get over it. He's a human being. Not a very good one, but IMO worth more than the best dog out there.
Flame away.

No need for me to flame. We disagree.
One year suspension won't be a deterrent. All they'll do with that is write a book, and get more money.
You want to deter this type of action? Ban him from the NFL for good.
Curious Codymac: Were you just as outraged when Imus got nailed earlier this year for the minor, minor little offcolor joke he made about the Rutgers women's basketball team?
