from what i hear State Farm makes a point of not discriminating against any breed. Even American Staffordshire terriers. Not true about state farm, unfortunately. A coworker's home owner's insurance through statefarm was cancelled when they found out he had a rott. I don't know the details. I have homeowner's insurance through State Farm and they made a point of specifically asking me if I had a pitbull, rott or wolf-breed dog. But, I'm sure there are companies who would insure you if you owned a pit, it just may cost more.

watch it pal. How can he argue with that? How threatening. I'd sure be intimidated. I am not trying to intimidate. I just think you should have some fucking respect. Yeah, OK asshole, because your original post had SO much respect, right?

Hey -- aren't YOU a cc.com sprayer?

I was jogging in La Push and was followed by a loose pitbull who was definitely uncomfortable with me. He ran after me, growling, clearly with violent intent, until his owner called him back. He listened to his owner, ran half-way back, changed his mind, and charged me again. I played varsity ball. I smacked him square in the face with a good sized rock. He decided to leave me alone after that. His owner was livid, until I suggested we call the tribal police....

Rottweilers responsible for most fatal dog attacks on humans - 9/15/00 Pretty small study -- 91 - 98. I'd prefer 82 - 06 -- either way, according to the quote in the article you link, So, a pit is more likely to kill you, whereas a rott will just maim you? Sure, your article aquits pitbulls entirely

I was going to mention that. I have read that it has to do with what dog is a populare breed at the time. in the 70's it was Dobies who were the killers. What i have heard is that it is the massive inbreeding and over breeding that can happen when certin breeds are populare. thats why mix breeds don't seem to have the same issues.... After reading that link this is what it is clear that the paper was writen with an agenda. I do believe that Bully breeds require breed specific training. They are not just like labs or other dogs. but then labs require differnet training than poodles. By the way, the study linked was from 1982 - 2006 -- this isn't a recent development.

World Peace.

You know, wikipedia says that cake is often frosted with buttercream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit.....

Who uses one hand? I typed that with my tongue.

Rain days are for sex

Muffy, look at the statistics: Pits and Pit/Rot/Wolf mixes are BY FAR the most danergous, STATISTICALLY. How can you disagree? EVERY pit owner I know admits this, except for you (well, you're not an owner yet.) The fact that you dispute the fact that they are a potentially lethal animal makes me think you should NOT own one.

Is a lion more dangerous than a tabby?

I get really tired of this BS. Bully breeds are more dangerous. Glad someone called BS on this BS. Pit bulls are definitely more dangerous -- statistically. Google it. Think about it, Muff -- they are a more powerful dog, so, assuming that ALL dogs have the same propensity for violence (an unfair claim, but let's assume it), then a more powerful dog is by definition more dangerous. Duh. What is more dangerous? A pitbull, or a toy poodle? You're saying a pit bull isn't more risky than a toy poodle -- not even a little bit? Sorry muff, but you know it's true.

I should have called from my vonage phone. I wonder what would have happened? Would my conversation have been cut off instantly when she cancelled it? Would I have gotten free talking? Hmm...

I think tomorrow they're gonna call me back, just to make sure I didn't change my mind

I think she meant I can never have that number again, and I think I got some discount cause I had an account for over 2 years, I think I lost that when I cancelled At least she respected my decision

So, I called up to cancel my vonage account today. You can't cancel online, they make you call. The conversation went something like this: Vonage: "Hello sir. I'm EXTREMELY sorry to hear you would like to cancel your account today. What happened? Are you unhappy with the service?" Me: "Well, I just don't use it ever. I mostly use my cell phone." Vonage: Our records indicate that you received 4 phone calls this month already on your vonage account. Do you realize cancelling your account may result in extra usage fees on your cell phone?" Me: Silence. "Yeah, well, I'd just like to cancel the account." Vonage: "I can certainly respect your decision, sir. I would only like to point out that vonage can serve as an emergency backup for when your cell phone network is down, or your cell phone battery dies. Surely you'd like to have a backup phone. Do you have kids?" Me: (laughing out loud) No, I'd just like to cancel my account please Vonage: I'm sorry to hear that sir. Can you please verify your identity by giving me your 4-digit vonage pin and your billing address. Me: yeah yeah...(super sekret pin to follow) Vonage: Allright sir, to make sure I heard you right, I would like to verify that you are asking to cancel your account, and that you do not want the added security of a vonage phone line at your house. You understand that this may result in extra cell phone usage fees, is that correct? Me: Please, just cancel my account Vonage: Please hold while I process this. (15 minute wait) Hello, sir, I would just like to ask you if you would like to sign up for a limited vonage account, for emergency purposes, allowing limited usage for $19.99 per month. Me: No, please...just cancel my account Vonage: I understand your position, sir. How about our $9.99 limited plan, which would allow... Me: (inturupting) No! Cancel my account! Vonage: Are you sure? I mean, it would be a waste to cancel your account when you can have emergency services only for $4.99? You don't want this? I mean, it just doesn't make sense... Me: Please cancel my acccount! Vonage: OK, Sir, I certainly respect your opinion. I would like to confirm for the record that you are canceling your account and understand that this action will be irreversable. Can you confirm this? Me: YES! Vonage: Thank you sir, even though you are no longer a vonage customer, I would like to point out that we are adding new features every month... Me: Thanks! (Hanging up)
