Vick over and over again tortured and killed animals. Pedophiles also "pay their debt," in your words. This does not mean they are rehabilitated and should be allowed around children. Sociopaths do not change and cannot be rehabilitated. And Vick's behavior demonstrated he is a sociopath. Ask yourself: What kind of person enjoys torturing helpless animals?
Two categories of men I have no respect for: The kind who beat up women and the ones who take pleasure in torturing animals.
Thank you! Exactly right. Considering the race of the starting QB is something that never even crossed my mind.
Besides, “race” issues are no longer an issue in America. If we can elect Obamapuke we HAVE to be color blind AND stupid.
I will always root against him. In fact I’m glad he got injured yesterday. I hope he felt just half of the pain he made those innocent dogs feel.
Whether he paid his debt to society or not, as far as I’m concerned what he did is unforgivable. He will never be anything but an animal abuser to me.
I thought the “R” words were “Ron” as in Mexico and “Raging” as in case of herpes.
I agree with you 100%.
As a *Christian* I forgive him, and wish him well and hope he has found a love for animals who are GOD’s creation....
GOD cannot forgive us, if we refuse to forgive other’s.....
as far as Im concerned what he did is unforgivable...
Mat 6:12 “Forgive us the wrongs that we have done, as we forgive the wrongs others have done us.”
Luke 6:37 “...Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Mat 6:14-15 “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But, if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
Vick got caught and THAT is why he is “remorseful”.
There is nothing in Vick’s past to indicate he would have EVER come to the realization that what he was doing was disgusing and ended the operation on his own.
His entire family are worthless thugs.
The sort of abuse he engaged in is the sort of behaviour usually exhibited by budding serial killers....
I was at a place Saturday where they were giving a Kenny-G concert, the entiure place was *Asian* with a few scattered other races as in caucasion or hispanic but very few....
Most of the Asians were speaking *Chinese* and one of the workers said *Yes* there are alot of Chinese here and they bought up all the 5,000.00 tickets that included dinner front row table sitting..
Nobody IMO was being racial, we just realize all the Chinese now have the money, and can do all the things Americans can no longer afford to do...
I have a hard time not admiring at least the unbelievable athletic talent he possesses, even though he may be a scumbag. I think he might be one of the best overall athletes to play the game.
As I said in an earlier thread, I am a dog-lover. The ASPCA radicals have used Vick for publicity, so they got what they wanted out of the Vick-affair and it cost them nothing.
The entire thing is sordid... including the alleged "rehabilitation."
Vick’s misdeeds were of such a nature as to place him beyond redemption in my mind. I am convinced that the only remorse he feels is at being caught. He is a truly vile individual.
When I saw the “R” I thought - Republican.
Seems that was not the case.
"DAWGS MAUL VICK!"...
In fairness, Ray Lewis agreed to plea guilty to obstruction of justice charges for covering up for his friends, who were later aquitted of murder. The victims were most likely participants in a drunken brawl and had the misfortune of being on the losing side. The dogs had absolutely no role in their fate.
Neither Ray Lewis nor Mike Vick should play in the NFL. And just because Lewis was welcomed back (IMHO, a wrong decision), does not mean that Vick and everyone else who commits terrible crimes should be. I do not know much about Lewis, but Vick’s behavior was sadistic, that of a sociopath.
I think there's a difference between having a hand in stabbing a person to death and animal cruelty.
Vick did do time for it (Lewis got off scott free), and has lost his fortune and his already shaky reputation. I'm not sure that he should completely lose his ability to make a living.

For whites and Asians perhaps.
But. sadly with the vast majority of blacks and the majority of Hispanics, race issues remain front and center.
