Using my logic torturing any animal is wrong.....but they're still animals. They matter a lot less than people. To explain it better, hurting animals is wrong IMO because it points to a flawed human being cruel. Hurting people is wrong because not only does it point to a flawed human being cruel, but also it matters because people matter.
I love how that relates to the topic at hand. A gamecock is typically chickens used in **** fighting.
I still don't see how a violent act warrants a two month suspension and a non violent act warrants a year's suspension. Football logic is f'd up. I really started to give up on the Texans in 2010 because of the good ole boy network. Now I see that same mentality permeates all the NFL. **** you NFL. You ruined football for so many. It's also kind of too violent to watch.
This is going to blow your mind, but the punishment for the first offense of smoking weed....which is I'm sure what you are talking about, is essentially a slap on the wrist with entry into the testing program with no suspension whatsoever. To get to a year suspension you have to get busted 3 separate times. Under the NFL's new policy the 2nd offense of domestic violence is a permanent ban.

I really liked Goodell and still don't think he should be gone, but this is a f-up of epic proportions.
LOL, I wasn't suggesting that you support **** fighting, I was just pointing out the irony of all schools for your kid to go to given the conversation at hand.
I know you weren't- not sure how you drew that conclusion. As much as I agree that people matter more than dogs, let me tell you- the only problems I've ever dealt with in my life were at the hands of people. There are definitely people out there for whom I'd put dogs higher on a pedestal than them- translation- there are some truly ****ed up evil people out there- see ISIS- I'd take dogs any day over those assholes.
Serial killers are a VERY VERY small percentage of homicides. Having said that, a history of physical violence against a person is almost always a precursor to homicide.

What part of what I said was BS? Are you implying he killed people's pets? Or his own pets? I am well aware of what his involvement was. I think you should re-read what you wrote, and my response. I am not sure what you are pointing at here...
So . . . this MFer wanna get him some press off this now? The moment to 'get in on it' was months ago when it happened to come back with this double jeopardy ***** to make a name for yourself is bull***** Rocket River
