[QUOTE=magellan01] Never said you “said” it. You used that beleif in your argument twice. Once with me, which I pointed out when it happned, and then with **pravnik** , who also pointed it out and corrected you. Do you not realize that? :smack: I suggest you go back and review. How ever many times you feel necessary. [/QUOTE] I said that it is impossible to definitively ID a purebreed absent the pedigree. That is not a belief. It is a fact. > [@](#): > > No, I read it all. That is why I said they had good things to say about ALL breeds. See how that works? And I never said, or implied that the propensity to fight to the death is a bad thing in and of itself. Bullshit. Unfortunately for you, weasels are much easier to ID than pit bulls. > [@](#): > > If the dog is protecting you from a bear or a Presa or other serious threat it’s probably a good thing. If the dog goes after a kid—like dogs of every breed have done and will do—it’s a quality you wish wasn’t there. You’re free to disagree with that if you’d like. Your cite stated that a pit bull had an uncanny abiity to discern when the family was threatened, and would not attack otherwise. I pointed that out to you above, so I’ll ask again. Do you think all these alleged maulings by pit bulls of 5 yeard old kids were a case of the dog protecting the family? Since this “fight to the death” trait is only triggered by such a threat, how else do you explain it? **Carnalk** , once you identify all the players, come back and we’ll talk. ---

> [@Contrapuntal](#): > > Carnalk, once you identify all the players, come back and we’ll talk. I actually already clarified that despite that mistake, you are still coming off as a flailing idiot. That’s about all the talking I want to do with you, certainly on this topic. ---

[QUOTE=CarnalK] I actually already clarified that despite that mistake, you are still coming off as a flailing idiot. That’s about all the talking I want to do with you, certainly on this topic. [/QUOTE] And yet, despite your miniscule contribution to this thread, it still seems like too much. ---
