I’m not sure I’ve ever told you guys this, but I was raised Catholic. I went to Catholic school and everything, can you believe it? Maybe that’s why I basically went bananas in college in terms of bad behavior. I had been a goody-goody all my life, so I lived my teenage rebellion in my twenties. I regret nothing! Even though I went through this raucous time, I still managed to hold onto a lot of what my Catholic upbringing taught me. I mean, I have largely dumped the religion, and all religions, in general, because all of them have major, fundamental flaws. I consider myself to be extremely spiritual, but religious I am not. One of the main takeaways from Cathocism – and probably for many Christian religions – for me is the power of forgiveness. There’s nothing like it! The bottom line is we’re all human, and we all mess up, so who are we to hold it against other people when they screw up? I think very few people do bad things on purpose. I think most people are trying to do their best and are usually just ignorant or forgetful or something else benign when they transgress other people’s boundaries of goodness. And then when they realize they messed up, most people feel really, truly horrible about it. We’ve all been there. So why NOT forgive that person? It makes them feel so much better, and it also makes YOU feel better. Plus it eliminates all that residual crap, the resentment and the bitterness and all that lingering crap that eats you up inside. So just FORGIVE and move on, and it’s better for everyone. So freeing. So this being my general attitude, it was difficult when I heard that Michael Vick was getting a second chance. Watch the video to hear more.

Here’s the way I understand it – he’s become a spokesperson for the Humane Society and seems remorseful/learned his lesson. Yeah, but he also ran a dog-fighting ring, killed some of the losing dogs via drowning/hanging, and watched some of his own family pets get ripped to shreds by trained fighting dogs for “fun”. Great, he got a second chance in society already. Why should we teach kids that you can be a monster in society but really you’re based on your throwing arm?

Here’s the way i see it. The man spent almost 2 years in prison and to me i think he paid his debt to society. Meanwhile you have gang bangers that get a lesser sentence for doing a lot worse!!Just my 2 cents.

You know what Vick should do. Fry those dogs in lard and throw them out a window to paying customers. That’s how he’ll get forgiveness.

“to error is human, but to forgive is Divine.” However if he makes the same mistake twice it is no longer a mistake. “fool me once, shame on you..but fool me twice its shame on me.” Forgiveness is part of our humanity and our civility. If we lose this aspect, we are no different than those who commit horrible acts.

whites always want blacks to sing and dance and show remorse…”I’m so sorry Masta, I won’t be doin it again” . Its a deep seeded supremacy thing. “How dare he make all that money and not live perfect” I know some rejoice everytime a person gets into trouble so they can beg the public for forgiveness. The American public is so self righteous its ridiculous. If I were Michael Vick I’d tell you people whatever the hell you want to hear and go ahead and get paid.

Lets stop looking at professional athletes as role models. Let them do all the drugs they want. Let them take all the performance enhancement drugs they want…:) If they want to kill dogs let them pay the same penalty a poor white or black person would face. Don’t make this a white black thing, this is a guy who would be a piece of crap with or without millions of dollars. Find more meaningful things in life, stop watching sports, then bozos like him would not be millionaires. Turn off the TV.!

In China, a country of over 1 billion people they kill millions of dogs a day by beating them to death because they believe the adrenalin rush makes the meat taste sweeter. Only in America can the entire nation come down on one man for torturing a couple dogs. Its like those who go green by saving 2 watts and then America buys more items from China who obviously creates pollution beyond your wildest dreams.

Vick couldn’t careless about what he did to those dogs (he has zero remorse).
Vick is another classic piece of shit that just because he can play a game he’s gonna live the good life!
We need to triple the punishment for animal cruelty to get the point across to these dressed up apes that it’s NOT OK to harm animals for there enjoyment…
