Michael Vick Sentenced to 23 Months

376. Max61..why would anyone ........even a Pastor....take money from a a man.......who has been indicted for illegal activities..............indicted on federal crimes........."take' a donation of money in the range of 3oo,ooo dollars, plus......I would worry , myself about being used , bought & owing a "favor".................or whatever one would choose to call it. Ethically, morally........I would not accept the money...I would consider it a bribe.............considering that the case is in progress..............I would tke a second look at that church.........& abdicate if I were a member. I could not, personally, prostitute my church, it's members...but primarily.God....for money.......dirty money. I have too much respect for God. Believing in God, trustinng in God.I know that he will provide, And so should they.trust in Him.................not a human such as Vick. they have let God down.......Satan's spawn.not God's children. Shame on that Church....greed & pride is a terrible thing. God is not an Ediface................he is Omnipotent Omniscient.......no matter if the gathering place is simple......& has no walls. God loves the heart .not the pocketbook.

378. You know, they made him go to an animal sensitivity class and after all that was said and done he told his lawyer that he was thankful that by doing all this dangerous business that he himself, did not get hurt. What about all the animals he viciously electricuted and tortured if they lost to another dog he force bred and abused? Who will pay for all the abuse those animals were put through? Because it certainly isn't Michael Vick sitting in the can for a month shy of two years. I think his endorsements and sponsers should use the money they paid Vick and fund a rescue team and shelter for abused and abandoned animals. So many of those dogs were put down. This absolutely has to stop. If you feel passionate about this like I do, get involved, and visit the humane societys website. Please.

379. .......................Hello ALL DOGS @ 8:09 am......................In the interest of conversation,................why not come back and explain your compassion for Vick.............Yes, there are a lot of things wrong around the world...........there's also a lot of things, that are an amazement, relative to the history of man............Could it be, that one's own life experiences, would be the governing factor, for your compassion toward Vick?.......................You "love dogs, but it really isn't that serious"......................Vick was charged for organized dog fighting endeavors, tax evasion, crossing state lines for the purpose of illegal activities, providing organizational money for running an illegal business, animal abuse and cruelty for SIX years, for being involved in gambling operations in direct violation of his NFL contract,.............and due to these activities did the following.............LIED to NFL commissioner, Falcons owner Arthur Blank, Players Association, all the sponsors he was receiving money from, the public at large,............because he knew what was wrong and illegal............why else tell lies?........................So, please explain your compassion for Vick............I will listen for a few sentences worth...........what do you think?

380. All dogs go to Heaven.................You do not think that fighting dogs isn't that serious. I would hazard a guess...You don't think at all. You have overlooked the tax evasion, for example.which means that he is stealing from the government,,,,,,,& that translates into the public funding.& that means you. If you work & pay taxes, you should be angry with a wealthy man , evading taxpayment. On the other hand if you are on welfare..............then the government {and the taxpaying public} are paying you..........so of course you wouldn't give a flyings rat ass about his crime{s}. And this of course allows you ample time to think with your hormones.{and other parts }.rather than straining your already simple mind.

381. All dogs go to heaven.clarification of the first lineof my post.You think that fighring dogs is "not all that serious "..........

382. ............................How about a sign at the edge of each
town,...........you know, out where the City Limit sign is
located,..................that states the rules, and philosophy of
the town inhabitants?................Didn't Dodge City have a "no
guns allowed".............posted?...............Could we have a, "No
dog fighting or animal abuse, within the city limits"
posted?.................If all the inhabitants agreed and signed a
proclamation,..........would that work?..........................If
that works, can we move it out to the State line sign and do the same
thing for the state inhabitants?...................If that worked, can
we move it out to the International border line and do the same thing
for the Country
inhabitants?..................................WOW, WHAT A UNIQUE CONCEPT!............OOOOOOOH, I forgot.......we already have laws
covering that..........So, what would be the
difference?...................Every person would have to "read" and
agree to the laws of the Country?..................No, we can't do
that,.........to much effort required of the inhabitants.........The
Constitution states that the laws are already given to the
inhabitants..........whether they can read, write, color or
think...........no effort involved on anyone's part..........just
take the gift of the Constitution and that is
that...........................Maybe, that explains why Vick broke the
law......He did not have to "read"
anything...............................Just take and accept all the gifts of the
world, and that was that................WOW, WHAT A UNIQUE CONCEPT!

383. ................Hello Sara @ 8:37 pm..................You are correct that dog abuse must stop................It takes much too long, for the social fabric, of certain elements of society, to change................The only bright spot, and optimism available, might be, that we used to think the earth was flat.................we do move slowly, don't we?..........

384. Maxx61..hello Well it is obvious by Vick's letter that he doesn't read................he can barely write. He is, most definitely a taker..as confirmed by his actions..& of course, that is why he is incarcerated. His supporters appear to have a common thread with Vick,,,judging by what has appeared on the blog...yor point is very well made................" whether or not they can read , write , color or think "..............too much effort would be required of them. ...............to read, assimilate, retain the facts...........& recognize the truth. In fact, they deliberately deny or overlook fact & truth because of their own personal agenda...........The fact of the matter is....Vick has admitted to his crimes...........& has been incarceratedas deemed warranted by a Judicial system that uses fact & the law,rather than emotion , bias, ignoranc or just plain stupidity. Vick' supporters can deny, overlook or twist the facts to suit themselves.as much as they want.it will not change the facts, the truth , the illegality or the consequence to Vick for his Criminal behavior. He my friend is in prison..& nothing will chage that.

385. .................Syd........................Yep.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................(I am practicing minimal verbiage in order to induce Vick supporters to "read" my reply's) (too much effort, and they pass on by?) (that should stir up a conversation)

386. Max61 Just in casee this blog is gasping its final gasps.......due to "lack of effort" because "reading " is involved..I dont really want to lose track of you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Vick is due to face criminal charges in april, on his dog fighting charges.in Virginia.............We both know that it is not ."double Jeopardy"..and that he faces up to five years in prison..........this is in addition to his present prison term.........but no doubt the non- readers who support vick, will be up in arms.........because thy won't have made the effort to read the facts. I wonder just how many pastors..excuse me ,people.Vivk might buy between now & then. He will not try to buy regular fans........because they are not important enough...no Stature in society.so they are of no immediate value to him.......... if you leave the blog, Max, would you letme know whre you go next.........You have a great day.........How are your deer, the buck & the doe. I hope that they remain safe.

387. ..........................Hello Syd.............I will, leave tracks.........the doe and yearlings are always out there, almost every day.........the acorns are heavy this year...............Some times, two days and I won't see them..............There is a large population in a 60 mile radius of my place.........Last year I counted 32 hit on the road, within 2 miles of my front gate...................The bucks only show up this time of year for the obvious...........otherwise you never see them......they are farther up in the woods...............And no, I do not hunt deer on any parts of my property.........I have been known to go to other parts of the state, and pistol hunt deer...........I hunt with pistol only.........just my thing..........and now you know too much..............AS, Connie Chung once whispered to an elderly lady during an interview.............." It's ok, you can tell me, no one else will know"........................just 10 million people..........and she lost her job...............I will be out of state 22 - 26...........till later.............

388. ..........................Hello DORA................you mentioned
your family being from South America.........If I might be so bold to
ask,...........Is the coffee there, very different from Small town
USA?.................Coffee is a subject I follow
closely...............I assume it is heavier, there, than the watered
down, sweetened up, mass quantity, we consume
here?.......................Just interested in an opinion, of someone
with first hand experience............................I wonder which
brand of coffee, Vick drinks at present?...........OOOOOH I forgot, ............of course,
institutional...................Thanks........

390. max61...hello........I am still trying to assimilate what you have told me. About the hunting................I am a Critical care Nurse.............I work in Emergency.I am a woman...........I hate animal suffering.......I understand hunting to live versus hunting for sport..I always advocate the most humane death...of a creature..Talk to me.
