Sorry Marco. I do realize this. I tried to post a link many times but when I hit "send reply" it kept doing nothing. I'll try harder next time.

I personally never even heard of a M. Vick, nor do i have a clue what he has done.

I was thinking about this last night some more. This" do as a say not as a do mentality" is ridiculous in this case. Does anyone actually think that any of these Chicago thugs with a big huge wad of rolled up dog fighting hundred dollar bills cares what Michael Vicks says? Honestly, pretty wishful thinking. Michael made his money of these poor animals and so will all the rest of these scumbags. They aren't gonna give up a life style just because one of 'Them" got caught and is now preaching to the choir most likely because he was made to do so not because he wanted to. And if Vick wasn't a so-called celebrity you can bet he would be back doing the same thing as he wouldn't have a multi million dollar bank account to fall back on.

Hi Princeton... would you feel the same if he killed a child drunk driving after repeat offenses? If it was your child, mother, sister or brother?

This is the problem with the "move on" mentality humans have developed is that it lets people off the hock too easily and continues the lack of personal responsibilty we are seeing today. Forgive and forget and move-on? Say that to the parents of this child? Say that to a dog missing a leg because Vick tortured it? Something is so wrong with this mentality and cements the double standard of celebrity -vs- citizen punishment both in court and out.

Is sort of like the same principal as people who "Get Jesus" after they've killed someone and have spent a few years in prison. They say Jesus forgives them but does this make the crime any less horrendous or the time any less warrented.

But I guess you need to be reminded - he already went to court; was found guilty, and sentenced. He completed his sentence and now it's time to move on.

If the law warranted a longer sentence then he would have received one.

Perhaps your anger should address the law (justice system) not the player.
