from slate.com : Things Sarah Palin and My Pit Bull Have in Common A guest post from Eric Maierson: Both: * Look confused when asked questions. * Like to poop on the environment. * Are good at following the commands of their handlers. * Remain quiet on the birth control issue. * Have extensive foreign policy experience.

Glad to see the word is getting out there, Shatter. Diva and I (and Bailey) hope Mishka gets well soon!

For what its worth, you can buy a used Lexus for as low as $2K. And I have to say this: When I see your u/n, I always think "Shatner." Which is really pathetic.

In a nut shell, they moved a good portion of hunters point Section 8 housing out to treasure island in order to clean up the Bayview area. Instead of the people who were moved looking at it as a chance to live in a better area with nice people, they brought the ghetto with them. If you want a true adventure, ride the 108 bus. I'm always amazed at how many people on section 8 drive a Lexus. --S

Can someone explain to me how Treasure Island became a ghetto? I don't think I understand.

Shame on you Brock, the city has spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars to remind people that they don't own their dogs, they are merely guardians. Some of the smartest people you know are guardians (in no way implying an owner/property relationship) of pitbulls, etc.

1. Yes, I'm male. Irrelevant. 2. I hadn't intended the original post to go beyond my typical friend list. I have since written out the account (again). 3. I do want to get word out far and wide so I took short cuts. 4. My finger look something like Earls from the movie Sin City. they're covered in bandages. The pain is getting a little better. 5. By trade I'm a Network/IT guy. I also do Security work on the side (physical) because typically, it allows me to read and get paid for doing so. 6. I don't blame the dog. 7. I like Pit Bulls. I think they are great dogs, as any dog can be. It's about how they are treated and trained. 8. I frequently watch animal planet and our Tivo is set to grab all episodes of "It's me or the Dog". 9. I think people that chose a dog to express themselves are shallow and rather stupid. Pets are something you should love and bond with, breed being rather irrelevant. Size matters though (big dog, small dog). 10. My dog ended up left at my house with worms, fleas, and neglected. I didn't pick her, but I love her completely. She's now got a loving home and is cared for, on the best diet I can give her (www.honestkitchen.com). 11. My writing style can be rather loose fast and vulgar. "Industrial as Fuck" is a term tossed around in the Rivethead scene much like ravers saying PLUR or rednecks popping off with "Cowboy Up". Thanks for asking! 12. Lists are rather annoying aren't they. --S

I agree, well-adjusted Pitbulls are incredibly cute and full of personality.

@ scorched No look, we’re talking at cross purposes. I agree that's there's no conclusive data showing that pitbulls are more nor less violent than other breeds. I’m talking about self-selection among humans. The three-strikes felon probably doesn’t feel best represented by a poodle or a Chihuahua. That you aren’t in that demographic wasn't my point. Apologies.

>>Yeah, but the kind of person who wants a pitbull What kind of person does that make me? Oh, right. A female, 40-something, SF homeowner, Web 2.0 worker, pit-bull lover.

phyxius: I'd call that more than a small note. :) Generic: Lots of animal lovers own pit bulls. When they're trained to be social animals, they are incredibly sweet dogs.

And by that, you don't mean "dogs" as euphemism for anything, right?

Anyone caught fighting dogs should be stripped naked, slathered in bacon fat, and thrown into a pit filled with angry, hungry dogs.

is it ethical to send adults to a LiveJournal blog w/out noting it parenthetically? Were it not for the following quote, that would have been a complete (though sad) waste of time: This makes me happy as it's a German dog, which means she's Industrial As Fuck.

Where is this dog fighting on Treasure Island and how do I get a piece of the action?
