But, regardless, it’s kind of incoherent to me. Again, not sure what “I’m an American” w/regards to Pitbulls means – other than the fact that they are banned in some US counties and a few nations – and I replied in jest with the “invade” comment. Is it really that hard to fallow? Not being snarky myself either… ---

I still don’t understand what point you are trying to make. America invades countries that don’t allow pitbulls? And maybe I was not clear by trying to be subtle, using words like “incoherent” and “happy hour,” so I will be more direct: You sound drunk. Very drunk. And if you are not drunk, maybe you should look into why you sound drunk. Maybe you had a stroke. ---

> [@](#): > > I still don’t understand what point you are trying to make. America invades countries that don’t allow pitbulls? Indeed. That’s the hyperbole – then again if it has to be explained either you or I didn’t do a good job at it, writing nor comprehending. Didn’t seem that hard. > [@](#): > > And maybe I was not clear by trying to be subtle, using words like “incoherent” and “happy hour,” so I will be more direct: You sound drunk. Very drunk. And if you are not drunk, maybe you should look into why you sound drunk. Maybe you had a stroke. You were quite clear. No stroke on my end. Nor booze either – haven’t had a drink for quite some time. Have you? Now, care to discuss the matter at hand, or would you rather keep on with the insults just because we are in the Pit? Not for nothing, but I can be pretty nasty myself… ---

If that is genuinely the case, then I must offer you my condolences…having such severely impaired comprehension skills must be present a great many difficulties in your day to day life.

Actually I am a rare breed – English and Spanish are both native to me. Mayhaps I can’t speak nor comprehend either when speaking with inbreds? Can’t blame me for your shortcomings. Cheers. ---

I cannot understand why anyone – as qualified as they might be, and most aren’t – would have an animal as part of their responsibility who could kill someone, and the intelligence level of, perhaps, a 2 year old kid. Isn’t that a disaster ready to happen? Not to every owner, of course, the great majority don’t have to deal with disasters like their dog killing their neighbor or their kid or the guy walking by with a limp…but some do, and there was no need for them to ever have to. ---
