I think the issue with Pits is that they are breed like little tanks. So when they bite they tend to maul. Theres a difference between a bite of a chihuahua and a larger more physically built animal. Like was said, Thugs have ruined the breed and thus permamently tarnished the breeds rep and blood line in some ways. I have personally known people who like pits just out of the macho factor. For some reason it makes them tough to own a dog like that. Again, irresponsible people creating problems that would not otherwise exist.

That last paragraph sums it all up for us. There was a video link to a Youtube video I saw on AR15.com that talked about how a population can go from being dictated to by a Thug and basically be in slavery by a few to a proud free people who fight back to then back to bondage and slavery again. And it showed the steps and phases. Right now we are in the content and complacency phase of "As long as my tv and petty luxuries are still there, I dont care." It was creepy to watch. You can see exactly how it all happens and look to turning points of each phase, that this and other nations have or are going down now and in the past.

Should probably post this in the classified section, might get more bites

Any thoughts on the current Russia-Ukraine conflict going on? I really cant say I'm suprised. I think anybody who sees the direction we are going and the directions the Russians(Putin) want to go is very different. Putin being an ex KGB colonel wants nothing more than to see them as a world superpower again opposite of us. I believe right now, our current administration and society in general is handing it to him to do just that. Obama can flap his jaw all he wants about sanctions but Putin isnt scared of us. Alot arent anymore. Besides whats the UN gonna do if we get them involved? They allowed countries like Russia in and they have veto power on top of it so it pointless, as the UN always has been. Just think we may be watching an attempt or actual resurrgence of the old Soviet Union.

Thats the problem to a T! People dont have the stones to do whats needed. By the time they did, it would be to late. But I do agree with the article that even our great military could not beat a radical population in guerilla warfare. What cop or soldier wants to know everytime they go out, they have no idea who or where the enemy is with people all around them to hide amongst? The defection rate would be high I would like to believe.

Pine Donkey's article was very interesting. Not hard to see some of it playing out right now without even getting into more intricate details.

I doubt anything happens out of this other than Putin getting strategic ports from the Ukraine under his terms. Which I believe is part of this little rumbling. The worlds countries don't object to him enough to make any difference. Not enough united. Yeah some sanctions will probably happen but it won't deter him enough to not get just enough of what he wants.

What western powers will have enough influence? I hope your right but I dont think being "western" carries the stock it used to. Its not like they need us for oil and those type of resources, Venezuela and the likes also back them up so they're good there. We dont export like we used to so I guess maybe we could import less and hurt them there?? Like cheap steel cased Russian ammo . That would suck! From what I understand, its pretty split in the Ukraine between people wanting to be influenced by either Russia or Europe. Which is what suprised me the most. I would of thought it wouldnt be close considering they broke away from the USSR. I see us stomping our feet and yelling and thats about it. Kinda like when they rolled over Georgia and Bush did nothing really.

Can someone educate me on this, State Trust land belongs to the state of Arizona correct?

Hmm a tag lasts one year or one hunt and a rifle will outlast its original owner easily if taken care of. 6 tags equal one good rifle but they expire the rifle does not. I like the rifle argument side more but nothing to get sideways about, just opinions. And people who treat public land like a drunken sailor in a w#$%house...might make someone a d-bag

Tried getting my wife to go but shes not into hunting or shooting but I aleast likes the camping so Ill take that. My daughter may be the hunter as she is now at the age I can get here mind to focus just enough to understand what we are doing plus she enjoyed shooting the AR once so... My son on the other would just rather look for empty shell casings or play with the campfire .

If ASU is going to capitilize on this they have to do it now and make a tourney run. They will at least lose 3(seniors) of there 5 starters for sure if not 4 depending on what Carson does. UA on the other hand could have all 5 starters back plus Brandon Ashley and Gabe York, should none leave early. Right now Gordon would probably leave but not sure why, he isnt playing as good as he was hyped up to be. The way there offense is playing, they need another year. I think despite the lose and not such good play overall lately, most would be glad to be in UAs shoes over where there current programs are and going. UA is more talened with Sophomores and Freshman then almost everyone else with veteran Senior and Junior led teams. Also why they choke sometimes too. No experiance. The lack of technical foul call is now irrelevant. No reason to of not played good enough to win in regulation and not mattered.

Offensively it was that. It was offensive to watch both teams shooting and free throws. With the exception of Marshall. Really wasn't a good game for either if you look at stats. Hard to see anybody in college basketball being dominant anymore. Don't see the old Sean Elliott UA teams or more so the UNLV days of Larry Johnson type teams.

I'm more concerned with the offense and free throws than the loss tonight. Terrible! This loss won't linger as long as they win the conference. But more shooting like that and it might not happen. It's like the team that beat San Diego State, Michigan, UCLA and Duke has just gone away.

Herb Sendeks a good coach and he got the most out of his team these last few weeks playing good. UA on the other hand has some serious issues on offense. If they don't shore that up, it'll cost em early in the tourney. Should of been two technicals at end of 2nd OT, storming court with time and Carson hanging on rim. Oh well, should've played better and it wouldn't matter.

My gripe or concern is if the fee hike is actually needed or used where it should be. So many people are "ok" with it as long as they can hunt. Did you think of how that sounds? They(government) are dictating to you whats best. No, im not sure if they are doing it right or wrong but I am always suspicious of people whose jobs and money come from things like this. Especially when it means more out of my pocket. If Obama or Feds did it, people would say hes a commie traitor(he is), but when Game and Fish does it, its ok because I get to hunt....maybe. I just want legitimate justification for increasing fees, regardless of how good the hunting is or isnt or how many opportunities there are. I expect the same out of Game and Fish as I do any government, fed, state, local etc.

You know what your getting into as far as pay goes becoming a warden, so they choose it still. I'm glad someone does it, but doesn't excuse bad management from the TOP! Nobody becomes a cop or joins the military thinking about cash. Because you know it's squat for what you are expected to do or sacrifice. Regardless if the arguments about the lowest pee-on warden or the director, pay is no excuse and is irrelevant, they answer to the people paying there wages, US!

So you support a government agency with no oversight? I think that's the complaint, is them doing more or less what they want and not what the people want. I don't need to be a warden or do any other job to expect them or anyone else to be fair and do it right when they do that job, as someone else mentioned. You take a government job, your a servant to the people. ATF is another form of branch of government trying to do a job. Do you support them successful or not(Fast and Furious, making 4 border states report multiple weapon sales to individuals). I don't. When they're wrong or right they need to answer to us.

If we had a constitutional right to hunt it may help leverage who they answered too but as it is now, we got nothing and its not right. Our rights were voted down so the people of AZ help create the problem.

I'll take that. Considering we aren't a "football school"

Hopefully not

Knew it was coming. There offense has been terrible lately. Maybe this will get them refocused. Another loss wouldn't surprise me. Conference play is just to hard and grueling.

Peyton Manning - All American, country boy, hunter, top 5 all time quarterbacks, doesnt talk crap, plays with all his heart...a true winner and sportsman Got nothing against him. Seems like a standup guy. Just hope he loses. Go Hawks!!

I don't understand athletes needs to make fools of themselves. As a Seahawks fan that was embarrassing but he's not the entire team either. You win your in. No excuses. Been through many years of bad teams, not feeling bad for all the whining from the ones sitting at home takin trash cause there team couldn't make it. Outside of Sherman, not sure why all the hate for Seattle.
