Myspace soliciting? Whats up with that?
Their passwords have been hacked.


Something they've clicked on.


If they change their password, it will stop the bulletins.

Is asking one's middle name considered prsonal?

What prompted me to ask was that I was reading surveys on myspace.com and some people refused to say. One even just gave the letter it started with. Maybe it's because it's such a public thing like myspace bulletins that they didn't answer but still, I'd like to know if people consider being asked their middle name personal.

Is asking one's middle name considered prsonal?
Asking (politely) someones middle name is not considered rude or personal. People posting information on public websites may not want family or others to find them so they use just the first letter of their middle name or no middle name at all. It is common in th U.S. to use the first letter of your middle name. For example, John H. Doe
Reply:I think it is exactly what you said... Giving out a full name is just to risky on line.
Reply:Even face to face, there are a lot of people that refuse to confess what their middle name is. It's as if they are afraid that they will be unfairly judged by the name given to them by their parents.
Reply:if a stanger asked my middle name I'd be hesitant just b/c I'd be like why? Uhm I think middle name is on need to know basis. It can be personal especially for men, so it seems. think of it like this don't those who know your middle name rather somewhat close to you?
Reply:it depends on who you talk to some ppl are guarded about their middle names for some ppl its like asking for thier social security number....lol but hey it all depends on tha person








good luck
Reply:I think it's more that most people don't LIKE their middle names. A lot of parents throw "family names" in the middle. (ex: my Dad's is EUGENE...)
Reply:i don't...
Reply:Yes, I guess it is like delving deep into the person's privacy.
Reply:No, but writing it down might be suspicious. (Knowing a person's full name might help find more out about them, including what it might take to invade their privacy in a much more threatening way.)
Reply:If I met someone face to face it would be alright, but on the internet it's different. you are likely to find lots of ppl with the same name as you, but the combination of middle ones narrows it down alot.
Reply:Yes it is
Reply:Yeah, I think its reticence on the Net... to protect privacy. But in person, I would love to tell people my middle name... Most people love it when you ask them to talk about themselves. Some people wouldn't like it, though, especially if they had a weird middle name.
Reply:ummmmm...identitiy theft. It is often a password or defining attribute to the many similar names in the world

Why do the call it polls??

I've been on bulletin boards where you can post a poll. Should the polls/survey category give us the option of posting a real poll???

Can some1 tell me whats going on?

One of my girl friends (who i like) took a myspace survey and posted it on the bulletins... one of the questions and her responses were:


4. Are you crushing? Sorta.. kinda.. NO ;)





From a girls point of view... what do u think she really meant by that? Thanks


:)

Can some1 tell me whats going on?
It means she is crushing on someone, but is playing hard to get and is trying to act like she doesn't like someone because she's too shy. There's no way to tell anyone specific so if you think it might be you, go for it.
Reply:talk 2 her


maybe she isnt supposed 2 have a bf and put that so no 1 would get supicious


but if she is ask her 2 explain the question


if she really does like u


she'll explain it w/ no problem
Reply:hmm I think it means that she is crushing on someone.. but I can't really say. Seems like shes a girly girl.

What did she really mean?

One of my girl friends (who i like duh) took a myspace survey and posted it on the bulletins... one of the questions and her responses were:


4. Are you crushing? Sorta.. kinda.. NO ;)





From a girls point of view... what do u think she really meant by that? Thanks

What did she really mean?
It means she thinks someone might have game, but she doesn't care enough to go for him.

And there are also people who send messages to my inbox about getting paid to do surveys? Anyone out there no whats up with this

Myspace soliciting? Is there such a thing?
Yes, that's SPAM and it's coming from advertisers. Same stuff you get in your email inbox, just through MySpace instead. Flag those messages as SPAM (there's an option for this in MySpace) to report them. And of course don't fall for any of it. I'm sure there are some real giveaways, but you won't get them as a message or bulletin. You'll see them as clickable ads in MySpace.
Reply:Keith's answer was better! You don't want to delete a friend or someone you just met because you think they are a bot! Sometimes normal people get virsus' on myspace and they just need to remove the code that put it there and change their password. Grays advice is flawed. Report Abuse

Reply:yes there are plenty of profiles like that. but sometimes my friends get viruses that post bulletins like that. but most of the time if you dont know them its a fake person advertising. just remember not everyone on myspace is real. be safe!

I have some quizes about Human Resource management....plz help?

1 How do companies facilitate workforce diversity?


a. Rely on external support systems for minority workers.


b. Encourage employees to challenge the beliefs and values of other employees.


c. Build in accountability through surveys and audits.


d. Reinforce traditional values.








2 A large organization is an EEO employer with an affirmative action plan. Which of these activities is performed as part of the plan?


a. All job applicants must have a recommendation from current or past employee


b. Insurance premiums from former employers of all applicants are analyzed


c. Job requirements are determined based on skills, knowledge and abilities


d. Job announcements are posted on the company bulletin board

I have some quizes about Human Resource management....plz help?
I suggest that the EEO company would certainly include these issues within it's vision and mission statement. Senior executive managers would then lead on Policy and Procedure. I would suggest that they would start with an audit of their people resources to see what they had. They would also look at barriers to minority inclusion. Flexible hours, creche facilities, transport and access would figure highly. Recruitment and the advertisements for recruitment would be looked at especially in regard to interview and selection procedures. training needs would be analysed to see where blockages occurred. Finally the legal aspects would be analysed to see if the Company was complying with the employment laws. Ins terms of your questions, sorry they seem off beam on EEO. I'd say b and c+d, good practise anyway. The other practises could reduce EEO take up.

More men vs women?

NEWS BULLETIN - Men and women are NOT alike. Sure, you thought you already knew that. But now we have proof! After countless hours of surveys and studies on the following topics, these facts have emerged:





Relationships:











When a relationship ends, a woman will cry and pour her heart out to her girlfriends, and she will write a poem titled "All Men Are Idiots". Then she will get on with her life.





A man has a little more trouble letting go. Six months after the break-up, at 3:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, he will call and say, "I just wanted to let you know you ruined my life, and I’ll never forgive you, and I hate you, and you’re a total floozy. But I want you to know there’s always a chance for us".











Maturity:











Women mature much faster than men. Most 17-year-old females can function as adults.





Most 17-year-old males are still trading baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high school romances rarely work.











Hats:











Women look good in hats





Men look like jerks.

Accounts of Dog Attacks...


The media has vast influence over our perceptions of which breeds of dogs are dangerous, as they decide which dog attack stories to publish. With over 4.7 million dog bites recorded each year in the United States and with over 800,000 of these attacks serious enough to require medical attention, the resources for dog-bite stories appear unlimited. Yet, the media seems to delight in Pit bull related stories, so much so, that in their haste to report the latest Pit bull attack story the truth often takes a backseat to sensationalism.





Listed below is a small sampling of inaccurate and misleading media accounts that have caused irreparable damage to the image of Pit Bulls:





Killer Pit Bulls Rip Granny to ShredsNew York Post (NYPost.com) Dec. 11, 2002


Pet Pit Bulls Kill Woman, 80, in Her HomeThe New York Times (nytimes.com) Dec. 11, 2002


[The victim's daughter and granddaughter (owner of the dogs) could not believe the dogs, a female Pit Bull and a male Lab/Pit mix attacked and killed the elderly woman. The family hired a forensic pathologist to review the case. It was determined that although the victim had sustained some dog bites, all the bites were non-lethal and post-mortem. The grandmother was not "ripped to shreds" by the dogs but died from cardiac arrhythmia. Both dogs were eventually returned to their owners.]





Pit Bull Attack Victim Leaves Hospital WTVO (Channel 17) April 25, 2003


Man Struggles to Recover from Pit Bull Attack WTVO (Channel 17) April 29, 2003


[The man in this case was never bitten by a Pit bull. Indeed, there is no mention of the dog making contact with the man at all. Instead, the man was running from the dog and he ran into the road and "slammed" into a passing van. He sustained serious injuries from the collision with the vehicle.]





Pit Bull Horror New York Daily News February 7, 2004


Pit Bull Mauls 3-Year-Old's Face New York Newsday February 6, 2004


[A Bronx family owned a Boxer dog and a German Shepherd puppy that usually were kept in the basement as guard dogs. Two days before the girl was bitten, the family took in a Pit Bull. The 3-year-old was alone playing with the three dogs when a dogfight started. At this point the girl was bitten in the face by the Boxer (also reported to be an American bulldog). It was later acknowledged that the Pit bull (also reported to be a Pit bull mix and a "pet bulldog") was not involved in the attack on the girl]





Cortland Pit Bull Mauling Death WBNG.com (Channel 12) Dec. 9, 2002


[It was later determined that although the Pit bull participated in the death of 24-year-old Eric Tallman, the dog did not inflict the fatal wounds. The victim died from blunt force injury. It was later revealed that the victim was beaten to death by an acquaintance over a drug debt.]





Barstow Trial Opens in Boy's Death: Pit bulls fatally mauled Cash Carson, 10. The


Press-Enterprise May 5, 2001


Murder Charges Filed in Pit Bull Mauling The Associated Press June 17, 2000


[This tragic case of a 10-year-old boy killed by dogs was carried extensively in the media. The dogs were repeatedly headlined as "Pit Bulls". Neither of these dogswere "Pit Bulls". One appeared to be a Pit Bull Mix and the other dog (the male that inflicted the fatal wounds) was clearly a mixed breed dog. Animal Control and photographs of the dog more accurately identify him as a possible Chow/Pit Bull mixed breed.]





Vancouver Girl Badly Injured in Pit Bull Attack CTV News Dec. 23, 2002


[This was a very severe attack and as such garnered much media attention. As a result of more in-depth coverage the breed was later correctly identified as a Mastiff/Rottweiler mixed breed]





Family's Pit Bull Kills Boy, 20, months The Gainesville Sun May 8, 2000


20-month-old Killed by Bull Terrier Naples Daily News May 9, 2000


[This child was not killed by a Pit Bull, nor a Bull Terrier, nor a "family" dog. How the dog came to be labelled a "Pit bull" is unexplained. The owner described the dog to be a Labrador/Mastiff/Rottweiler cattle dog. The dog was used to herd cattle and was kept chained on the property. Animal control and the Alachua Sheriff's office confirm the dog was a mixed breed. Photographs of the dog reveal no discernable breed.]


________________________________________...





Another serious problem with the image of Pit Bulls is the over-reporting of Pit Bull attacks vs. other breed attacks. Unquestionably, a disporportionate amount of media attention is given to Pit Bull attacks. One example of this is a recent fatal attack in Detroit by a Pit Bull. This story ran in over 30 separate national newspapers and was also picked up by FOX news, CNN and two British newspapers. Two weeks earlier a man was KILLED by his German Shepherd Dog and this story ran only in the local community newspaper.





Pit Bulls in particular have been in a firestorm of bad publicity, and throughout the country Pit Bulls often bear the brunt of breed specific legislation. One severe or fatal attack can result in either restrictions or outright banning of this breed (and other breeds) in a community. While any severe or fatal attack on a person is tragic, there is often a tragic loss of perspective as to degree of dangerousness associated with this breed in reaction to a fatality. Virtually any breed of dog can be implicated in a human fatality.





From 1965 - 2001, there have been at least 36 different breeds/types of dog that have been involved in a fatal attack in the United States. (This number rises to at least 52 breeds/types when surveying fatal attacks worldwide). We are increasingly becoming a society that has less and less tolerance and understanding of natural canine behaviors. Breed specific behaviors that have been respected and selected for over the centuries are now often viewed as unnatural or dangerous. Dogs have throughout the centuries served as protectors and guardians of our property, possessions and


families. Dogs have also been used for thousands of years to track, chase and hunt both large and small animals. These natural and selected-for canine behaviors seem to now eliciting fear, shock and a sense of distrust among many people.





There seems to be an ever growing expectation of a "behaviorally homogenized" dog - "Benji" in the shape of a Rottweiler. Breeds of dogs with greater protection instincts or an elevated prey-drive are often unfairly viewed as "aggressive or dangerous". No breed of dog is inherently vicious, as all breeds of dogs were created and are maintained exclusively to serve and co-exist with humans. The problem exists not within the breed of dog, but rather within the owners that fail to control, supervise,


maintain and properly train the breed of dog they choose to keep.





______________________________________...





CANINE AGGRESSION - AN OVERVIEW


It is important to emphasize that dogs bite today for the same reasons that they did one hundred or one thousand years ago. Dogs are no more dangerous today than they were a century or millennium ago. They only difference is a shift in human perception of what is and is not natural canine behavior and/or aggression and the breed of dog involved.





Examination of newspaper archival records dating back to the 1950s and 1960s reveal the same types of severe and fatal attacks occurring then as today. The only difference is the breed of dog responsible for these events. A random study of 74 severe and fatal attacks reported in the Evening Bulletin (Philadelphia, PA) from 1964-1968, show no severe or fatal attacks by Rottweilers and only one attack attributed to a Pit-Bull-type dog. The dogs involved in most of these incidents were the breeds that were popular at the time.





Over two thousand years ago, Plato extolled a basic understanding of canine behavior when he wrote "the disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know and the opposite with those they dont know...." Recently, this fundamental principal of canine behavior seems to elude many people as parents allow their children to be unsupervised with unfamiliar dogs and lawmakers clamor to declare certain dogs as dangerous in response to an attack.





Any dog, regardless of breed, is only as dangerous as his/her owner allows it to be.





Addressing the issue of severe and fatal dog attacks as a breed specific problem is akin to treating the symptom and not the disease. Severe and fatal attacks will continue until we come to the realization that allowing a toddler to wander off to a chained dog is more of a critical factor in a fatal dog attack than which breed of dog is at the end of the chain.

MEDIA LIES


The media is so slanted, readers practically need


climbing equipment!


It can't be stated any more plainly:





"If you only know what you hear or read in the media,


you really don't know much."





After one too many slanted, misleading, grossly


inaccurate or just plain dishonest dog bite reports in


the media, we thought it high time to 'pull back the


curtain on the wizard' and prove 'the emperor has no


clothes.'





The headlines screamed: another ghastly 'pit bull'


attack in Ontario. In this case, a Shih Tzu was the


intended victim. It's owner, a hapless casualty.





Pretty much every media agency in the region covered


the following story. ...Repeatedly. ...Ad nauseam.





"Those awful 'pit bulls'; attacking innocent people


and dogs. You never hear of a Labrador or a Golden


Retriever involved in these kinds of incidents."





On February 14, 2006, Tarra Barnett was walking her


'pit bull' along Danforth Rd. in Scarborough, when it


bolted and attacked a Shih Tzu being walked by its


owner. The Shih Tzu didn't survive. Its owner also


suffered minor injuries in the attack.





According to neighbours, Ms. Barnett's dog was known


to be aggressive. According to witnesses, the 'pit


bull' may have been off-leash and unmuzzled prior to


the attack.





March 11, 2006, Ms. Barnett was charged with


'unlawfully causing bodily harm' and 'common


nuisance', in relation to this incident.





Sounds alright, huh? An important story that deserves


reporting.





Well...it would be...if the media was truly unbiased.


It is obvious that, like so many stories before it,


this one was headline news for some time, because it


involved a 'pit bull'. Want proof?





March 2, 2006, two Labrador Retriever mixes, known to


be aggressive, were again "terrorizing the


neighbourhood" in Port Colborne, Ontario. The two


dogs attacked and killed a Pomeranian chained in its


yard, then moved on to attack a 'pit bull' before


being corralled.





Only two local (Welland area) newspapers carried this


story...once. Only a muzzle order for the dogs and


talks of a fine were mentioned as possible punishments


for the owners. No headlines. No criminal charges.


No media blitz.





So, do you still think the media is a reliable source


for information? If so, we have a lovely bridge that


might interest you.





These two stories are nearly identical. They both


involved unprovoked attacks that led to the death of a


dog. They both involved dogs with a known history of


aggression. They both involved negligent owners. The


story involving the 'pit bull' was headline news. The


one involving the Labs? Well...it never made any


headlines, and is all but forgotten, just a few days


afterwards.





The media picks and chooses its stories, not for their


"newsworthiness", but for their ability to attract


readers/viewers/listeners which, in turn, allows them


to claim higher ratings, and charge more for


advertising space. It's business. Plain and simple.


We've been told outright,





"If it doesn't involve a 'pit bull', it's not 'news'."





In reality, non-'pit bull' dogs are responsible for


90-100% of bites, attacks, and fatalities in Canada.


...But you'll never hear that on the evening news.





In order to provide a more balanced view of dog biting


incidents, below is a sampling of stories you probably


didn't see reported in the media:





March 10, 2006, a Jack Russell Terrier was ordered to


attack a man, nearly severing his penis, which was


successfully reattached by doctors.





March 8, 2006, a 17-month-old was mauled by the


family’s Labrador Retriever.





March 7, 2006, a police officer shot a Ridgeback mix


dog after it attacked another dog and menaced the


officer. There was a brief report in the media, in


which the owner-confirmed “Ridgeback mix” was


described as a “pit bull look-alike”. (Good grief!!!)








March 6, 2006, a man and woman were sent to hospital


after being attacked by their German Shepherd Dog.





March 4, 2006, two Labrador Retriever mixes killed a


chained Pomeranian, then attacked a ‘pit bull’, during


a neighbourhood wide rampage in Port Colborne,


Ontario. The dogs were frequently at-large, and known


to be aggressive. No penalties against the dogs’


owner has been announced since the attacks, despite


provincial law allowing up to $10,000 in fines, or six


months in jail for this kind of offense.





March 2, 2006, a 6-year-old girl underwent surgery to


repair injuries suffered in an attack by her


grandparents’ Husky/Chow mix.





March 2, 2006, a Great Dane killed its owner and


severely injured her relative, while he was chained to


the porch, in a small Texas town.





March 1, 2006, a 16-month-old girl was attacked by her


family’s St. Bernard.





March 1, 2006, a Springer Spaniel suffered severe


injuries after being attacked by a mixed-breed,


off-leash dog in a conservation area. The owners of


the attacking dog refused to identify themselves or


offer assistance before fleeing the scene.





A police dog, a Belgian Malinois, was accused of


excessive force after refusing to let go of a suspect


in 2003, only to go on to attack a police officer in


October of 2005. In that incident, the dog simply


attacked the officer unprovoked while she was guarding


evidence at a crime scene. When the officer was


unable to shake free, she pulled her weapon and shot


the dog. Still, the dead dog’s jaws had to be pried


off the officer’s arm.





February 26, 2006, an Edmonton boy was mauled by his


family’s Golden Retriever, leaving him in serious


condition in hospital.





February 24, 2006, a St. Bernard/Mastiff mix attacked


an American Eskimo dog and its owner.





February 22, 2006, an Alabama girl had to undergo


hours of surgery to close the gaping wound that


exposed the victim’s jaw bone. A Labrador Retriever


attacked the girl while she was petting it at a pet


expo.





February 17, 2006, a third grader required 68 stitches


to repair the damage caused by a Golden Retriever that


attacked the girl on her way home from school.





February 9, 2006, a six-year-old was knocked to the


ground and attacked by a roaming Labrador Retriever.





February, 2006, a 4-year-old boy had to be placed in a


drug induced coma in hospital after being attacked


mauled by stray dogs in Waswanipi, Quebec.





February, 2006, a man was bitten by one of two


Weimaraners being walked by their owner.





After several biting incidents, a man’s Border Collies


have been deemed “dangerous”. No charges have been


filed against the owner.





An Alameda County Deputy District Attorney’s mixed


breed dog (Lab/Shepherd mix) may be ordered destroyed


after numerous biting incidents.





A 2-year-old was left with cuts and puncture wounds to


the face after being attacked by a Jack Russell


Terrier in February, 2006.





In February, 2006, an 18-month-old girl was seriously


bitten by a relative’s Australian Cattle Dog tied on


the property.





In February, 2006, a five-year-old boy required 190


stitches to repair damage to his throat after being


attacked by 2 German Shepherd Dogs on the owner’s


property.





February, 2006, a Garden City, Idaho, police officer


had to shoot the police dog he was training, after it


attacked him and another officer.





In early February, 2006, a 2-year-old girl was left


with a 15cm long gash after being attacked by her


grandmother’s Border Collie.





January 26, 2006, a 2-year-old had her jaw broken and


most of her lower face torn away in an attack by a dog


described only as “a large dog”, in Prince Albert,


Saskatchewan.





After no penalties were laid following a biting


incident involving a 10-year-old girl and a Chow/GSD


mix in December, 2005, the dog bit a second child in


January, 2006; disfiguring the boy’s face by tearing


away a portion of his lip.





In December, 2005, a 90-year-old woman suffered bite


wounds and a broken bone in her back while attempting


to defend her own dog from attack by a Dalmation.





An infant suffered severe head injuries after being


attacked by the family’s Golden Retriever in November,


2005.





In January, 2006, a woman was critically injured in


Del Rey, California, after being attacked by a German


Shepherd and a Chow. Police shot and killed the dogs.


The owners were not charged.





In January, 2006, an 11-year-old girl was savagely


attacked in the face, by an Alaskan Malamute, while


visiting her friend’s home.





A 5-year-old girl was left with severe gashes and 4


missing teeth after being attacked by her


grandmother’s chained, mixed breed (non-‘pit bull’)


dog.

Which dog breed attacks?
Why? ... Because those that are anti-dog know they can get the needs of their agenda met (to ban dogs as pets) by having folks like you make the case that all dogs bite, therefore the pitbull terrier should not be singled out.





If we can agree that all breeds of dogs bite, then as a matter of public safety ... all breeds should be banned. You just made anti-dog proponents very happy! Good for you.





Tony A-





Edit - No ... its not the same as the Salem witch hunts - because there never were any real witches.





Look, THE best response to BSL are discriminately bred dogs in the custody of responsible people. Find a way to achieve that and we will save the breed.
Reply:well a pit bull,rought rouler, french bull dogs thats all i have Report Abuse

Reply:Great Post! Lots of good info . It's nice to see someone with info to back up their claims. And to answer the "small" part of the question, lol ANY dog can attack!
Reply:I am assuming you mean 'why' do you see so many reports of attacks by pit bull or pit bull mix dogs.... This breed has gained popularity with a number of factions that only want vicious dogs so they are being bred indiscrimanently and ignorantly. They are being owned by irresponsible owners that don't know how to train their own selves much less an animal that can out think them. So you have many dogs that will attack because they are breed ignorantly and unstable. There are representatives of the breed that are not unstable or ignorantly bred but the vast majority of those being bred and owned at this time are being poorly bred and the temperament goes by the wayside. With the rise of popularity and irresponsible owners will come these attacks. Just the way it is.





add: NO it is not 'just America' - these breeds are actually banned in many parts of Europe because ignorance and irresponsibility knows no boundaries. Actually the restrictions on breeds/dogs are much more stringent in other countries than in America right now because of many serious bite incidents. Just another example of how ignorance breeds this sort of stuff.. 'just America' hahaha wrongo buddy...
Reply:Thank you for this post. I LOVE it!!! I think the media prematurely headlines ANY dog related case as a "PIT BULL ATTACK!!!" Because it gets attention. They are all just competing for ratings, and ALL pit bulls suffer from this. I am so glad I read this. Thank you again for posting it.





*I still think some people are set in their ways, and will ignore every bit of this. They continue to believe what they want to believe, and ignore the information layed out in front of them.





** I just wanted to add one more thing that just came to my mind. I am a veterinary technician, and I went to a two day seminar about animal behavior. The animal behaviorist that was teaching us gave MANY examples, and showed many videos of dangerously aggressive dogs that they had worked with. You know, Not One of the dogs was a Pit Bull. She does positive reenforcement training, clicker training, desensitization, socialization, and other positive ways of behavior modification. She said that Pit Bulls are actually one of the easiest breeds to work with because of their high drive to please people.
Reply:Keep up the good work! My pittie and me thank you!





I have people shy away from him too AFTER they find out that he's half pittie.





There is a lady who has been in the news a lot because she had a face transplant in France. She got mauled by her own dog...it was a lab.





It's because of what the previous poster said..sensationalism. Children get molested all the time and that's very sad but if a teacher or priest does it, you can bet it's going to make national news. It's the same with dog attacks. They happen all the time but if it's a pitbull..it makes national headlines..
Reply:your absolutly right





i have a pitbull %26amp; he is the friendliest dog , he wil cuddle %26amp; he NEVER has snapped , thats because i trained him well





now say when he was a puppy i let him bite %26amp; jump on people because " it was cute" then he would think its okay to bite %26amp; attack people now
Reply:Thanks so much for putting this up here. I hate seeing people shy away from my pit as soon as I tell them what he is [even if moments before they were petting him and playing with him].





Answer to your question: It sells. Fear is a weapon, and it sells. The media love hype.





Renee:





Not once in that did the poster say pits don't attack.





Point is, every dog is capable of attacking.





Blame the deed, not the breed.





There's only one 't' in pit.
Reply:As pointed out in your very long question, any dog breed can attack. It depends on how they are raised and trained.
Reply:A dog that is not trained properly, socialized correctly, or given proper leadership throughout his life is very likely to attack.


Dogs attack to protect themselves and/or their people, not just because of their breed or gender.


Pit Bulls were originally bred to FIGHT, so yes, there are still some of these lines in today's pit bulls. But if you get a Pit Bull puppy and correctly train and socialize him, he will grow to become a well-mannered canine citizen. Those who purchase Pit Bull puppies who still have fighting lines in their genes, and then proceed to NOT properly raise and train it, will most likely subsequently have an unruly dog on their hands who is more likely to bite when provoked, no matter how big or small the prompt is.





If you train your dog to attack, he will attack.


If you train your dog to have manners and act appropriately around ALL situations, he will be a well-behaved dog.





The more a dog is abused, mistreated, ignored, taunted, and so on, the more likely he is to attack.
Reply:GREAT post. More people need to be aware of the fact that ANY dog of ANY breed can bite/attack. They all have teeth, they all have instincts and any breed can have stupid owners/breeders/trainers.





I blame the media for sensationalizing and spreading BS.
Reply:If it has teeth, it can bite. So lets see, all dogs have teeth........
Reply:Everyone thinks that pits and so bad well in fact those dogs depand on how they are rasised not every pit is mean it just depands.
Reply:Why what? Why use pit bulls as the scapegoat; that's easy, they are a powerful, misunderstood breed. Why not cover all dog attacks equally; because that wouldn't line the pockets of the publisher/reporter/editor. Why pick on any dog; lack of intelligent news to cover. Dog attacks make headlines, dog attacks involving pit bulls make more headlines.


Retarded and unfair as it is, until everyone realizes that their breed may be next and fights against the media nothing will change.
Reply:where were you last year. lol. I did on a project on dog attacks. I am still not entirely sure why pit bulls get the most attention. Truth is they are actually very sweet dogs, it's just that most people train them to fight other dogs, and just like any animal that has been abused, they will either become aggressive toward people or be afraid of them. There are a lot of stories about dog attacks, and they are not all pit bull ones. It is a shame though that they are categorized in such a way due to some people's cruelty. Here is a website to a list of which breeds byte the most, or at least in Montgomery.

Reply:Because when any animal is threatened they have a defense. Dogs attack for a reason, instinct or they were taught how to do this. Alot of times the only reason people can now tell a Chihuahua from a GSD is because of Paris Hilton. Its funny, you can ask 100 people if they can pick the pitbull, they can't. Education is our failure here, everyone. If you are going to own animals, research them. Not only the breed but the species. It can't hurt.
Reply:Well i think that any dog i Capable of attacking





i remember when i was a kid and had to walk to school this little silky would come running out of a house and bite me all the time i was so scaried of this dog. i even tried sneaking but it all ways seemed to know i was coming
Reply:Dogs attacking humans has nothing to do with breed. It has to do with poor handling. I've seen chichi's that will attack, but they are so small nobody notices. The problems with pits is they are very dedicated to holding on and have the strongest bites in the canine world. The media has zeroed in on them because so many of the wrong kind of people favor them for their illegal activities. They are what they are, it's just ashame people abuse their abilities.
Reply:Great Post, i feel what you are saying, but it's just America...
Reply:Because people are mean and ignorant!!!
Reply:Because blood and drama sell papers and net viewers. People don't want to hear about all the good and positive things that happen on a daily basis, they want their daily dose of drama.





Pits are also generally associated with society's "bad" crowd. They are lumped in with the whole gangsta, ghetto tough guy image. People around here have trouble believing that I, a 25yo white middle-class female would even WANT to share my home with one of 'those' dogs.





There are no easy answers, I wish there were. I wish that I could come up with that one thing, that one idea that would stop the public vilification of my chosen breed. I do my part by fighting BSL where ever it pops up, by training my girl to be a breed ambassador, by taking her into the public as a true example of what the breed should be. She's a registered therapy dog, has her CGC, TT and a ton of obedience titles but I still have to worry about waking up tomorrow and losing her to a breed ban. I guess I just have to do the best I can to never give up the fight to keep my girl because I know she would never give up on me.
Reply:Any dog will attack, it is the severity of the attack. A bite is a lot different then being malled and having your own dog killed for trying to stop it.





Pits do go off in my opinion more often and more severe that most other breeds.





I am not trying to say that a pit is a bad dog but it does need more attention and training than most people are willing to give them.
Reply:Well the same people who think only Pit Bulls attack and revel in these stores stories are the same ones who think that Britney Spears is the only bad mother in the world . People are drawn to sensationalism, plain and simple.
Reply:I think any dog can attack I think it is the way the are raised and treated as puppies. Some breeds are known just for it. Myself I would never own a pit bull.
Reply:cause 'PIT BULL ATTACK' is an eye catcher.





miss understood breed with to many poor owners of it. and many other breeds....its a dog problem not just one/a few breeds. It is a training problem. so it is more a HUMAN problem.





belame the deed, not the breed!


and the owner should be held more accountable for what their dog does.





i didn't see the one where a pit bull puppy and a ferret were left to roam the house and chewed a newborn's toes off, while the parnets slept?????????? i say it was the ferret.. how could anyone sleep through that? that baby had to screaming!

Reply:1.You believe global warming is caused by human activity


Yes, I do.


2.You believe global warming is a cycle of the earth


Yes.


3.You recycle


I do...newspapers, glass, aluminum, and plastic.


4. You throw food scraps in the green waste or have a compost garden.


I've had a compost garden since I took Environmental Science last year. I also collect the water from my eave spout for watering plants.


5. You practice water management (i.e.


turn off the water while brushing your teeth)


I normally don't when I brush my teeth, no, but I do turn off items when I'm done using them and about once a month we use oil lamps to conserve energy. We make it a game, pretending electricity wasn't invented yet.


6.You have energy saving appliances in your household


Energy Star appliances plus solar panels on the roof.


7. You have compact fluorescent lights in your house


Yes, we don't own any regular light bulbs; all of them are compact fluorescent. ( I wrote a paper on this a year ago... you really can save approximately $ 33.00 annually by switching over- After the Compact's have paid themselves off!


8. Anything else you do to recycle (hazardous materials or electronics, etc). Thoughts/viewpoints about global warming.


I just tried washing my comforter with baking soda instead of detergent (fewer pollutants. The comforter smells FRESHER, looks cleaner, and I could tell during the rinse cycle it worked better (plus baking soda is cheaper). Global warming is a serious problem. I never thought I’d turn into a “Green” nerd, but really… it wouldn’t make sense not too.

How do I know for sure?

Ok I'm not full of myself and I'm still amazed that when I'm at grocery store or get a delivery for pizza or at college or mall that people say I'm really model like pretty...........Well I don't think EVERY guy likes me but for some reason when I get guy friends or meet new guys through friends........I hear that they might have a crush on me. How do I know for sure? example: this newer guy I'm talking to and who bought me and a guy a ticket to a movie keeps emailing me and when I do surveys on myspace he sends the surveys with his answers on it to me instead of posting it on bulletin for other people to see....plus in car he looked concerned when I was mad at the other guy n we talked for awhile about it. How do I know if he or other guys like me for sure?

How do I know for sure?
personally it sounds like he does like you...hes using the good friend card but if your interested just be blunt and ask him! Most guys like it when a girl is blunt plus hes probably to scared to ask you if hes playing the friend card.
Reply:if he's sending you his answered surveys then he wants you to see hwat you guys do or do not have in common. if u like him u should go after him.

Why do all my friends post bulletins on MySpace showing off how stupid they are?

They post surveys that say "99% blonde" and other ones that show they never do their homework. Here is an example:





Have you ever . . . . ?


[]Gotten detention.


[x] Gotten your phone taken away


[x] Gotten suspended.


[x] Gotten caught chewing gum.


[] Gotten caught cheating on a test.


Total: 3





[x] Gotten late to a class more than 10 times.


[x] Didn’t do homework over 5 times.


[] Turned at least 3 projects in late.


[x] Missed school cause you felt like it.


[x] Laughed so loud you got kicked out of class.


Total so far: 7





[x] Got your mom/dad etc. to get you out of school.


[x] Text people during class.


[x] Passed notes.


[x] Threw stuff across the room.

How can i stop his games?

Weve been together for about 4 months...he moved in about a month and a half ago, he is 34, im 25...it all went downhill surprise surprise as soon as he moved in (i never wanted him to in the first place)...ive done some pretty immature and stupid things since ive moved in...such as drinking and crying for two hours, etc...but it all stemmed from something he had done...such as seeing condoms in his see-through travel bag..which he didnt use and they were old but it still upset me...i went out of town a few days ago to visit my family after an awesome weekend, we went to a wedding...he carried around my wine glass, kissed me...grabbed my hand when other guys talked to me...kept hugging me before i left to go home to visit my family...today, i noticed on his myspace that he did one of the surveys and answered the question that asked what age did he want to be when he had children...he said he has to find the mother first and ask her, the other half of the orange...he also wrote a bulletin titled E-...he said, i have no clue how to contact you and myspace is not helping...see he asked out this girl named Elizabeth on there 2 weeks ago (we were fighting at the time...and hes jealous of my guy friends although he encourages me to hang out with them), he apologized to me and said they never met up...one of her friends left a nasty comment after him so im assuming she doesnt really like him...anyway...who is this E- person? There is no one on his friends list with that first letter in their name...did he just do that bc he thought i would see and get jealous and ask about it and think it was this Elizabeth girl? Hes 34 for Christs sake! I sent him a text message yesterday saying i missed him and he never responded. Im just sad, i want to be the other half...i would make a good wife and mother of his children...God im pathetic...

How can i stop his games?
the only way you can stop his games is to stop being a participant in them. To be honest I think you guys moved too fast. You had only been together 3 months before he moved in. You said that you didn't want him to but still he did. You have control over what happens. If you don't like something then change it. You guys needed more time to get to know each other before moving in together which can be very emotional and it tests the relationship
Reply:Yes... sorry to say it. You'd think a 34 year old man would be mature. But no. He is totally disrespecting you. He is with you but says that you're not the one, and he's possesive of you, but pursues other girls. The only thing i can tell you is that he doesn't deserve you. I'm your age, and haven't figured out if you can actually make them stop the games and the foolishness and make them admit they love you, and start behaving like they do. I'm struggling with the same issue, and have posted a lot of questions on the subject on here. Everyone keeps telling me i should kick him to the curb and find someone who will value me and respect me. But i'm still in love with him and want to be his other half, even though he has told me that i'm not at all what he would want in a partner. You see, you're not the only pathetic one. I've been with mine for 4 years, and this issues have been going on for years! He acts like a jerk, and says awful, hurtful things. Later he acts like nothing happened, and is sweet again. It's a vicious circle. It hasn't changed. In all this time! I have stuck by him hoping that he'll realize that i truly love him, and i try to be extra good to him, and not do anything that upsets him. But now he gets upset for the smallest stuff and makes a huge deal out of it.... I guess what i'm saying is, that you should leave him now, that you haven't been together for that long. As time passes it gets a lot harder, and the jerk's behaviour even jerkier. Don't call him. Ignore him. I'm pretty sure he'll come crawling back. When he does, you should talk about everything that bothers you, and if he doesn't comply or at least try to be understanding, dump him. His bad behaviour has got to stop. And if he's saying he wants to be with you, he shouldn't be saying that he hasn't met his other half. I mean, if he doesn't think you are it, then what's the point? He's just abusing you emotionally by doing this. Countless times i've taken back my boyfriend without him aknowledging that what he's doing is wrong, cause i just want to stop fighting and be with him, and he has never changed a thing.


I know that you want to be with him, but, think about it, he's treating you like crap, he asked out another girl. It's stupid to try to make you jealous if he knows you already want to be with him. I think he just likes all the attention he gets from you. He probably doesn't really like himself very much, and gets a high out making you feel bad and still have you chase after him.


The only way i can think of to make the mind games stop, is to dump them. I wish there was another way though. If you find it let me know! i am pathetic too... :(

Seriously, just calm down.
Reply:Stop playing the game! It takes two to tango.
Reply:There shouldn't be this much drama in a relationship! give him up, you need to date someone in your own age group so that you may both enjoy life as people who are able to start with a clean slate. He's too old to act like a confused teen.
Reply:You don't want to be his other half - he is the pathetic one.


Value yourself more. You were not given birth to, to waste your precious life. You need to get away from him and find a real man. Let him play games with others less fortunate than yourself.


Good Luck.

Reply:You are in a very hard situation. I am currently married and I think you should be very ready before you take that step. I mean you have to solve all your problems together and trust one another 100%. Once you are married more and more problems are going to come along the way. It seems like you already have trust issues with him. If hes 34 years old then sorry to say what the hell is he doing on my space. I believe you should think about everything very carefully.
Reply:No, honey, you're not pathetic. You're a woman very much in love with this guy who apparently doesn't know what commitment really means. The fact that you two are now living together should mean something more than rent-sharing...it's actually a prelude to marriage (that thing that would make the living arrangement legit on paper). I should think that even without that paper, lived-in couples should really be acting like husbands %26amp; wives and the rules of marriage already apply. Apparently, your bf doesn't seem to think so. Seems to me like he's having his cake and eating it too.





I'd like to suggest that you two sit down and calmly (and honestly) discuss what your realistic expectations are under the terms of your lived-in arrangement. Let him talk first......then you. The reason for this is so he won't feel threatened, defensive, and/or pressured. Only then would you have a clearer vision of where exactly this relationship is heading to.





Good luck, honey....and keep your cool! God bless.
Reply:I think the REAL problem here is the age berrior, He is 34 years old and more than likely knows what he would like in a relationship. when you move in with someone you get to see their true colors......... I had to read your letter twice to really understand what was going on..... Lets see if I got it right .....


He does something you dont like......you cry...... First of all Real LOVE does not happen over night..... You are the one who is having Trust issues not him....... Did you ever think, he had condoms in his bag because he did have a life before you, he chose to move in with you which shows his commitment to you (you said you did not want him to move in, are you ready?) You complain when he shows you affection and attention and are mad when he doesn't return one call..... Can we say POSSESSIVE. Let me tell you nothing will scare a man off faster than a clingy, winey, demanding female. If you really want this relationship to work STOP the DRAMA.... Enjoy the time you spend together, dont speculate what could be happening and focus on what is happening between you. If your relationship is strong and he is happy No woman in the world will be able to take him away. Take all the insecurites you have and through them away If it was meant to be it will be if it wasn't .......you know the rest.....Wife and mother are a huge responsibility.... Show him you are up for the task...... time to turn off your teenage games and become the woman you can be..... There is nothing in the letter that would lead me to believe he doesnt care about you...... Good luck and Believe in Yourself....
Reply:it just seems like hes not truely mature enough to handle a serious gf right now. Hes treating you like crap that u know u don't desere. Dont take it! confront him, give him a warrning that if he dosn't grow up(say it calmly and respectful of corse or he'll feel attacted) then u and him will nolonger be togeather! its pretty harsh but hes disrespeting u and acting very imature and it needs to stop. Good luck and i'll pray for your situation.
Reply:Get some counseling. Seriously.





Life is not meant to be filled with so much drama and strife.





You disrespect all women when you stay in unhealthy abusive relationships. Just because you love someone it isn't a reason to be with them.





The only reason older men date younger women is because women their own age wouldn't put up with half that carp (yes, carp :P).





And oh my gosh there are some seriously hot guys your own age that would treat you so sweetly. You just have to give them a chance.
Reply:Oh god I had only read half of that n was already saying "RUN". Forget that loser he'll be the over-controlling type if you stay w/ him not like he's not already well on his way there. He's not ready 4 ne time of relationship.. find u a good man one ur happy w/ all the time!
Reply:I will dump you right away if I am your boyfriend. Jealous is an ugly emotion, and I don't think he sees you as a good wife and good mother of his kids, he only see your twisted bitching face screaming to him all the time. If you want to keep this relationship, you need to stop blaming on him, because you're the one who is destroying it right now.
Reply:Wayyyy too much drama to even read thru . . .


Except you said "he moved in" and 1 sentence later said "I've moved in" . . .


So what's true if that is contradictory from the start ?





Get out and get a new life , this one is broken.


Go to work , go to school , stay single for awhile .
Reply:the only vway you can stop his games is for you to get a grip kick him out of your house and move on and get a life of your own... unless u like being taken for a joke then stay with him... simple really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:You're not pathetic... you're a doormat. Enjoy the time he spends with you because you won't find anyone better.
Reply:Aww..you gotta relax. I think that you are trying to move too fast with this relationship ..you are still young and deserve to be happy. If he makes you sad then you need and deserve someone that treats you good ALL the time.. :)
