Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The pitbull didn't ask to exist, just like any of us. Limiting breeding and sale is one thing, but once a lifeform is already here, that kinda changes things for those of us with empathy. Take that shit back to Reddit.
It's a pitbull...it's a rage filled box with a jaw built for killing. The thing is built to fight, mame, and murder.
I totally understand this guy, I had a neighbor that had them. Every time a kid walked by their house their dogs would go into a ballistic frothy rage trying to get over their fence and get at said kid.
If I have to choose between the dog and a kid, the choice is easy.
Alligators are built to tear your limbs off and rip your flesh from your bones. Doesn't mean I'm going to murder one for no reason.
Would you murder it if it's constantly in your backyard chasing your kids? I bet so.
To be fair, for a wild animal, relocation is an option.
But for a pet alligator, no I wouldn't kill it. I would call it in to the people equipped to handle it properly, just like if I had a problem with a neighbours dog. It can suck to get authorities involved, but it's certainly better than just killing it myself like a crazy person.
I don't get how killing it yourself even comes up as an option unless you relish the idea of killing something but are usually stymied by circumstance into it "no longer" seeming like a good idea.
You've clearly never had to call the cops on a dog. If they show up at all they'll happily tell you they can't do anything about the dog and call them back next time just in case they can happen to catch the dog actually attacking someone.
Ah sorry, not from the states. Our police are well trained and effective. But I still think even there I probably wouldn't resort to killing the animal myself, there must be a better option.
You can mace the shit out of them and pray, but it doesn't really solve the problem for next time.
You've never been around a pitbull, else you wouldn't be filled with this delusional hate.
Lol...no...I watched one for 3 years trying to jump, claw, and break through a chain link fence to get after the children coming home from school. It almost made it a couple times and there's not shit I could do about it. One of the pits was ok...this one was fucking psychotic. Same owner, same training, one dog was fucking nuts.
You need to go to a therapist about your anger issues.
I did...the therapist said don't live next to people that own pitbulls.
