    I would imagine instinct would take over and you would just beat the shit out of the dog.

    Good luck with that...their jaws are much stronger than you.

    Statistically, If I were worried about granny,gramps, or little joey, I would rather have a rattlesnake or a pitbull than a swimming pool or bicycle.

    Good lord, they're not alligators. A grown man, even with a bigger dog latched onto his arm could kill it. Yes, they have strong jaws (but the jaws don't lock, like people think), but something latched onto my arm that weighs 45 pounds is getting beat to hell.

    I actually use that example in defense of beliefs in general. ;)

    Honestly - i don't think you or I could take down an attacking pitbull or german shepard. Just my opinion, but i'd watch if you wanted to try.

    dogs are basically wolves and wolves operate on that principle of finding the weakest prey to kill.

    I did this with a doberman. Isadore posted an article where a guy did it with a pit.

    Honestly, what is it that makes people so scared of angry dogs? They're smaller. They're not as smart (sans isadore, who apparently thinks they're evil geniuses by comparison). They don't have the balance to stand on two legs. They can't grab. They have teeth, sure. So do you and I. Seems like that's their ONLY advantage if you turn and face them instead of running away.

    1. You just showed a complete lack of speciation. They aren't "basically wolves." They have genetic similarities, due to the close species relationship, but they're not "basically wolves," you dunce.

    2. You also just suggested that ALL dogs are genius killers that will hunt the weak.

    3. ANYONE intending to kill goes after the weak.

    Just my opinion - but you think you could get away from a police trained K9?

    So my parent's 15lb Jack Russell is a wolf now??!?!?! WTF?
  • lhslep134
    Jesus f*cking christ this is the stupidest argument ever. Isadore is a clown, pit bulls MIGHT be more predispositioned toward violence but even assuming the truth of that statement, it has NO BEARING on any individual pit bull or situation.
  • gorocks99
    Merged with the poor stupid people thread. That way we can keep track of everyone's pitbull arguments together, hooray!

    We bought a dog on Saturday which weighs all of 2 lbs soaking wet. I doubt it gets much bigger. I'll have to sleep with one eye open.

    Get away? Not at all. I'm slower than molasses in January.

    But I think any grown man my size could man-handle it.

    And this is based on your professional opinion in census-taking?

    I have ran 20,000+ miles iin my life all over the place. I havent seen one in any of the country club neighborhoods around where I live but see them in town all the time.
    So, per your anecdote, and per your own assertion that you know the difference between a pit bull breed versus some boxer mixes, American bulldog mixes, etc.

    Gotcha.

    Since this is now in the basement someone can let isadore back in.
