Michael Vick

[FromWayDowntown]

are you referring to him lying about marijuana use?

Yes, and between his refusal to admit to having participated in the killing and his overt lying about drug use between the time of his plea and the time of his sentencing, he could well have doubled the sentence.

It's not like Mike Vick is some saint whose been wrongly persecuted here. He's a guy who broke a law -- and knew he was breaking a law, given the lengths he and his colleagues went to in order to keep their conduct surrep ious -- and then compounded his own mistake by lying at least twice to federal agents.

The length of his sentence is directly proportional to his own stupidity.

1) i thought so, just making sure. personally, i don't give a about the weed...everyone's grandma does pot. as for the lying, i understand it b/c weed is treated wrongly in this country. further, you know how i feel about the dog fighting, so though i think its wrong he lied, but, again, i understand

2) vick is not a saint, he broke the law and he deserves to be punished...but not like this

[K-State Spur]

1) not necessarily

2) i could enjoy a good dog fight, ever watched a bear fight a puma?

nah, i stand fully behind that statement. people who enjoy dogfights have a some mental deficiencies that most people weren't born with.

Michael Vick is in prison, and Kobe Bryant is a hero to millions of kids around the world.

Okay, whatever you say, Mr. Stern.

thats another thing that kills me. not that kobe actually raped anyone (i have no idea), but we can't get actual rapists behind bars...bank robbers, you name it. i'd rather every dog in the world be wiped off the face of the earth than the next girl get raped/rapist get away...provided it wasn't prevented.
