I have mixed feelings about Pit Bulls, as I know many people will use them for dog fights, and that is their go-to breed .So sad, isn't it?
Yes, the breed of dog shouldn't be blamed for the way the humans that raise it. Pit Bulls are absolutely lovely dogs if they are not raised to be pit fighters.
Yes, and I don't think some people realize that other dogs, such as the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and the American Bully actually fall into the pit bull type as well.
Pit Bulls have a bad connotation due to their image as dogfighting dogs and their use my lower income populations as cheap alarm systems for their houses. In fact it's a varied breed.
Yes, that's true. Often people will try to label dogs with square shaped heads and a bulky body as a pit bull, but you really can't tell by their visual characteristics for sure.
What I do know is that pit bulls are absolutely lovely companions and shouldn't be used as tools for the willful hurting of other people or other dogs.
I agree. It's sad that the people that stopped using them in dog fights, would then use them to hunt for wild cattle and hogs, or to hunt and gather livestock. They should just be a companion.
They didn't earn the title of "Man's Best Friend" by just being tools. It's obvious that even ancient cultures in China and even Rome loved their dogs dearly.

Owners of pit bull-type dogs deal with a strong breed stigma; however, controlled studies have not identified this breed group as disproportionately dangerous. Because owners of stigmatized breeds are more likely to have involvement in criminal or violent acts, breed correlations may have the owner's behavior as the underlying causal factor. Some jurisdictions have enacted legislation banning the group of breeds, and some insurance companies do not cover liability from pit bull bites. Among other roles, pit

The pit bull has a long history in America. In the early 1900s the U.S. proudly used pit bulls on WWI posters to symbolize qualities that make up America - friendly, courageous, hard working and worthy of respect. I chose my name because I admire the breed for the same reasons. When I hear about pit bulls being used in dog fighting, it makes me angry. I have a choice to step into the cage to fight, but these dogs have no choice. Dog fighting is morally wrong and inhumane.

Rural area
In general, a rural area or countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. The Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines the word "rural" as encompassing "...all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area. Whatever is not urban is considered rural."
Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas are commonly rural, as are other types of areas such as forest.

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

I've been working up to proposing to my girlfriend. I've been reading about the history of marriage in order to get confidence. One thing I think I love about it is that it's culturally universal. How many things can you say that about? Everyone in the world celebrates it.
Well sure we are here to procreate and that takes two and raising a family is a teamwork kind of thing
Right, yeah. But what also blew my mind when reading up about the cultural aspect of marriage is the fact that child marriage, polygamy, and forced marriages still exist in today's day and age. They're all cultural traditions that are celebrated and enforced.
That is disheartening, I have read that child marriage exists in the rural west of the US and just did not want to believe it
That's interesting. I was specifically referencing child marriage in India, for example, where according to their law the woman can be below 18, or the man below 21. Most of the women involved are from poor socio-economic backgrounds, too. The International Center for Research on Women-UNICEF publications have estimated India's child marriage rate to be 47% from small sample surveys of 1998, while the United Nations reports it to be 30% in 2005

Even though I used to go fishing with my dad and uncles a lot as a kid, I never got to try out fly fishing.
Fly fishing is definitely strnager since it takes so fineness using an angling method and a "fly"
I remember seeing people string up the flies before in TV and in movies, and it always seemed interesting to me.
Yea it requires some time and getting used to the strange style and casting techniques as well as making the fly lure.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get much of a chance to learn fly fishing any time soon, as where I live is more known for their crabs than fish.
You live near Maryland or not American? I know with fly fishing its pretty uncommon and the fly fishers have to make their own lures with the knots to look like bait.
I do, in the old part of Annapolis. It's all about the crabs here. At most I can bait a crab trap, not make any neat lures.
Yea i can imagine fly fishing and tying bait knots isnt common.
I'm not giving up hope though. Maybe I can add that to my ideas for future vacation ideas.

Acrylic paint
Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints are water-soluble, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor, a gouache or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.

Its best to know what snakes live in your area. Those extra joints in their skull help them to swallow prey more easily.
I live in Florida. Snakes and gators for days.

Snake
Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species

"All I ever see of women, usually, is groupies. They disgust me. How they can jump into bed with someone they've just met is beyond me. I just don't understand.

A few months ago I saw peyton manning at the grocery store.
The former quarterback? I don't think I'd even recognize him.
Yes, now he owns a lot of papa johns.
It's interesting that he owns pizza places - I wonder if his brother Eli Manning does also.
Peyton Manning
Seems that neck surgery really took him out of the spotlight.
I am not sure, but I know Peyton was the nicest guy when I met him. He let me take a picture with him and everything.
I didn't realize he played for the University of Tennessee.
I had no idea either! How crazy that must have been for him.

I like running. A run can range from a jog to a full sprint. Do you run also?
I used to like running but my knees don't work that much anymore. How often do you run?

Running
Running is a method of terrestrial locomotion allowing humans and other animals to move rapidly on foot. Running is a type of gait characterized by an aerial phase in which all feet are above the ground (though there are exceptions). This is in contrast to walking, where one foot is always in contact with the ground, the legs are kept mostly straight and the center of gravity vaults over the stance leg or legs in an inverted pendulum fashion. A characteristic feature of a running body from the viewpoint of spring

I love Huskies, and not just because they are so popular with sled dog racing. They're such a great breed!
Absolutely, there's actually a childrens book that delves into how loyal they are as dogs called The Stone Fox, heartbreaking read!

Husky is a general name for a sled-type of dog used in northern regions, differentiated from other sled-dog types by their fast pulling style. They are an ever-changing cross-breed of the fastest dogs. The Alaskan Malamute, by contrast, was used for pulling heavier loads. Huskies are used in sled dog racing. In recent years, companies have been marketing tourist treks with dog sledges for adventure travelers in snow regions as well. Huskies are also today kept as pets, and groups

Dog
The domestic dog ("Canis lupus familiaris" when considered a subspecies of the wolf or "Canis familiaris" when considered a distinct species) is a member of the genus "Canis" (canines), which forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct.
