You guys also need to take into account the people who tend to own pits. They aren't your average run of the mill familys that own these dogs. they tend to be the 'thugs' and wanna be thugs that basically don't treat the dog how it should be treated(i.e. see new article), so while it will act normal for awhile oventually it will snap. Pits are one of the most loyal dogs you can buy, and will back up it's owner until its death, there isn't very many dogs that will fight for it's owner like a pit will(if trained properly). German Sherpards are the only other dog that comes to my mind that will stand up for its owner like a pit will.. I'm sure there is a few more.
Pits have so many attributes to them that automatically stir people away from them; 99.9999% muscle, can lock their jaw, and you can stab the ***** in the eye and will only make it bite harder. I have a friend who has owned NOTHING but pits... he rough houses them, beats the **** outa them when he wrestles it(not inhumane) the dog just sits there and wags it's tail and plays along. He has never had a single pit attack ANYONE or even growl at anyone. The only one he had turn on people was one that he bought from someone(dog was a year and a half old). It was a nice dog, but when my friend blew on the back of its head one time the ****er flipped!! If i ever bought a pit, it would have to be at the very very very very very youngest you are legally allowed to buy the dog

LOL, I think if I was attacking someone and their poodle came to try to protect it's owner and attack me, I'd fall on the ground laughing my *** off... so it might work I guess

from the site....
My Uncle's Friend's Wife's step-brother said that APBT's are born mean and can't be trusted. Is this true?
No, this couldn't be further from the truth. Most people who think or say that "Pit Bulls" are inherently mean, have most likely never met one and rely on the inaccurate media hyped portryal of "Pit Bulls" as the basis of their opinions. Like any other breed of dog, the key areas of focus for ensuring a happy, well adjusted American Pit Bull Terrier as a pet are: owner education, proper breeding, socialization, and training. A break down in any one or more of these areas could lead to problems down the road.
The APBT is, contrary to popular belief, very human-friendly and will not naturally be aggressive towards humans. The APBT is, however, very loyal and eagar to please, so that if an owner wants a dog to be aggressive toward humans and reinforces this behaviour from an early age, the dog will most likely be aggressive towards humans as an adult.
Many people equate or confuse aggressivness towards other dogs with aggressivness towards humans. I have seen newspaper reports in which "concerned neighbors" are quoted saying things like, "This time it killed a stray cat; tomorrow it may be my children." Yet animal-aggressiveness is an entirely different thing from human-aggressiveness. There is no reason to infer from its killing a cat that a dog--any dog, not just an APBT--will ever show aggression toward human beings. Dogs can and do discriminate, even if irate neighbors cannot.
One of the most enduring urban legends involving dogs is the one about Doberman Pinscher's supposed tendency to suddenly "turn on" their loving owners. This violent change in behavior is said to be precipitated by a natural swelling of the dog's brain at a certain age (the exact age differs according to the retelling). Of course this legend has no basis at all in fact. The "pit bull" has replaced the Doberman Pinscher as the stereotypical "vicious breed," but the same human ignorance and credulity is behind the persistence of such legends.
ROFL
since dogs discriminate does that mean I can discriminate?!
interesting....
but i guess irational-x's 'survey' has to be right

This isn't just a personal, impressionistic perspective of mine. The American Canine Temperament Testing Association is an organization that titles dogs for passing its temperament test. The test consists of putting the dog into a series of unexpected situations, some involving strangers. The dog fails the test if it shows any signs of unprovoked aggression or panic around people. Of all dogs that take the test, 77% on average pass. But among pit bulls who take the test, 95% on average pass--one of the highest passing rates of all breeds.

^ those biggest pits you seen aren't even pittys anymore. Probably crossed with a larger breed dog to look bigger. They also breed them with bulldogs to get more of a wider and lower stance which is terrible and puts a lot of stress on their bones.
All those backyard breeders make me sick...
Theres a good looking pity
