Nike and Reebok dump Vick
PETA is reporting that Nike and Reebok have suspended their contract
with Michael Vick due to his alleged animal abuse. PETA just cancelled their nationwide planned protest of Nike nationwide. I know that most of you do not approve of PETA. Because of that I have taken the time to check into PETA more closely and admittedly I have a couple of issues with them too. However, like everything else I seldom find myself agreeing with anyone or any group 100 percent of the time. I choose to be grateful for their effort to help take Vick down. Be Free.....Judy |

Peta and the HSUS are just as bad as Vick, IMO. Maybe worse, since they blatantly mislead the public in order to fill their coffers. spit They are also directly responsible for killing *thousands* of dogs (just in North Carolina!) more than Michael Vick and his gangsta buds ever got around to killing. Moreover, PETA didn't have diddly squat to do with getting Michael Vick's new shoe pulled by Nike. The mass media can pat themselves on the back for destroying Vick. PETA just rode the media's coat tails, yes, to fill their coffers with money (from useful idiots like Judith). No CEO in his right mind wants to **** off MILLIONS of dog lovers around the country, including the owner of the Falcons, the Commissioner of the NFL, etc. Even if Vick plays football again, it won't be this year. And if he does play next year, or ever, it will be as a pariah. He'll be booed wherever he goes. And rightly so. Vick's NFL career is pretty much kaput, IMO. I could, of course, be wrong. But I like my odds. No, Vick hasn't been convicted of anything yet, but neither has O.J Simpson, and he's pretty much kaput, too. If he didn't still have his NFL pension, he'd be living in a van, down by the river. Good riddance to both of them. And PETA/HSUS, too. spit -- Handsome Jack Morrison Don't mess with old farts, Part VIII. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1 Are you a member of the "reality-based community"?

"diddy" none wrote in message . .. "bethgsd" spoke these words of wisdom in news:BeJqi.349$BQ.320@trnddc03: What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Whether I think Michael Vick is guilty or not, he deserves his day in court and a trial by jury. So glad that PeTA doesn't believe in constitutional rights. Beth I agree. There is time to nail him to the cross, but I think he should be convicted first. Once convicted....throw him to the wolves. Certainly anyone who "does the crime should do the time and pay the fine". However, it will take an extreme amount of taxpayer money to prosecute him and others like him to the point where he will actually do jail time, and there is a risk that he could be set free (like OJ). This man was raised with this set of values, and such brutal activities as dogfighting have been (and will continue to be) condoned by his family, friends, and many of his fans. I would hope that he can truly change so as to be sorry for what he has done, and become a spokesman for humane treatment of animals. It may take a much bigger man than he is to stand up to the ridicule of others, but if he can do so, I think it would be beneficial to offer him a way out of significant jail time, in return for a commitment to spending time helping to put an end to the *demand* for such blood sports. And he should also spend a considerable portion of his money toward animal welfare. I think such an option should be extended to any criminal who has significantly changed their ways after committing a crime. If the criminal can benefit society by helping other criminals (or providing a positive leadership role for young criminals-to-be), reduced jail time could be offered as an incentive. Even for crimes that have a death sentence might be reduced to life without parole if the convict can provide a useful function. Those that cannot should take dirt naps. Paul, Muttley and Lucky |

So glad that PeTA doesn't believe in constitutional rights. I'm sorry, but I really think you all are nuts. It's very, very Republican to take sides based on affiliation rather than, you know, policy, ideas, content, etc. Can someone point me to something that says that PETA doesn't think that Vick shouldn't be tried? Or are you conflating free association and commerce with trial by jury? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that freedom of association and freedom of speech are constitutionally protected, too (or at least they were until the Republicans decided to turn the so-called "War on Terror" into an excuse to shred the Constitution). -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
