Sometimes I think society splits crimes into to groups, things me and my friends are likely to do, and things me and my friends are unlikely to do. If you ask me, a crime's a crime, and Vick paid his due to society. As a NY Giants fan, this whole Vick signing us just one more reason to hate the Eagles.Ed G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08870533414070848501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11176644.post-23077917722296363562009-08-18T14:23:23.319-04:002009-08-18T14:23:23.319-04:00I didn't mean to equate animal cruelty to gree...I didn't mean to equate animal cruelty to greed. My point, poorly put, was that he has served his time whether he apologizes or not, and he should be allowed to resume his career if he's still qualified. Vick, unlike Stewart, admits his guilt and apologizes for his acts. We can choose to accept his apology or refuse to forgive.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832376808513132553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11176644.post-12872711443644206752009-08-18T14:06:19.454-04:002009-08-18T14:06:19.454-04:00I think its hard to compare shooting dogs, electro...I think its hard to compare shooting dogs, electrocuting dogs and fighting dogs to the death to stealing money. One is greed the other is cruelty. I much rather hang out with a greedy person than a cruel one.<br /><br />But you are right, he served his time and should be able to resume his life just like anyone else. As for his apology I don't believe he's sorry for what he did, he's just sorry he got caught doing it. That's just my gut instinct from watching him say his speeches and do interviews. <br /><br />Personally I will always associate him his choice to make money from torturing dogs for sport. I never even heard of him before that. He may have done his time but there are a lot of people that just can't shake those horrific images from our mind.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11176644.post-28929027774703712652009-08-18T13:52:12.716-04:002009-08-18T13:52:12.716-04:00Great thoughts and astute comparison Joe!

The indictment against Vick from the animal rights groups seem to more on the magnitude of Bernie Madoff than Martha Stewart.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.com
