3. As a long-time PETA member, I would celebrate. But VIck has to show a lot more remorse,
Edited on Fri Oct-02-09 03:07 PM by T Wolf
pay a much bigger penalty than he has, and do so for a long time before this animal rights person will be ready to forgive.

The fact that he is back in the NFL, making millions again, so soon is a travesty. People who steal bread suffer greater consequences.

Redemption is well and good, and necessary for human growth. But it is too soon to declare him redeemed.

21. Not that I disagree (because I don't)
But how much would he have to pay? Where is the level of contrition that you would find acceptable?

6. Think he's a fucking idiot for joining PETA.
Worthless bunch of media whores that accomplish nothing but getting in the news.

7. I'd hate him even more.
At least dog-fighters admit they kill animals.

10. I won't discuss it until he gets fat, takes a child to eat in public
and discusses his opinion about the Polanski arrest. Then I'll think about talking. If he does all that at an Olive Garden, then...we can talk.

11. If he stuck to it for many years
Like 70, then I might think that he was repentant.

If he started working hard to help animals and be a spokesperson for animal rights
I would be very pleased.
