I don't know....

Walking on the ground kills small bacteria and insects, should walking be illegal?

Our bodies have antibodies that kill alien invaders to our bodies, should we all commit suicide so we are not "killers"..... ???

Men and women are sent to kill humans by governments. Should governments be illegal?

More people are hurt or killed in the passion for religious ideals than any other current evil on earth. Should religion be illegal?

Extremism, by humans, is the most dangerous thing on this planet, and it is far more dangerous than most people realize.

Let it Be.

Try a act of random kindness to another person every day. Don't hate others. Forgive. Be Happy. Heal the world....

Yet still a mistake. It doesn't matter how large of a mistake it was, it was a mistake. Not grouping wrongs into the same category, just saying a mistake is a mistake, no matter which adjective you put before it.

Mistake, maybe, personally, I think not. It appears as if he'd been at it for years.

That said when a person makes a mistake and the mistake means they have committed a crime, then in most cases it leads to a punishment.
Forgiveness for that mistake/crime is generally accepted when a person is remorseful, is seen to be remorseful and in the case of public figures/athletes/personalities etc etc this can be made high profile via the media.

Has Michael Vick shown any remorse for his crimes ?

Guess that depends on who you ask and what their requirements are for that to be satisfied for them.

Who cares? Really?

He served his time in jail. I don't care if Vick says anything, remorseful or not.

What difference does it make what he says or does not say?

Let it go. More people kill cows every day to satisfy the need for humans to eat beef and they don't express remorse.

I happen to like cows just a much as dogs. Someone else loves chickens. Someone else loves pigs more than cows and dogs. It is never ending.

I don't understand why anyone believe they have some "lock" on truth and moral behavior.

Let it go. Vick served his time. It's over.

I think anyone that makes a mistake should be killed and no second chance should be given.

Jaywalk...it was a mistake right? ..Killed, no second chance...no ticket.

Light up a smoke inside by accident...mistake right? ...Killed, no being told to go outside.

Run a red light by accident and cause a crash...mistake? ...Killed...no ticket should be given nothing you caused an accident. You should not be forgiven.

No matter what you do if you don't do something right...a life without mistakes you will die.

Who cares. He had dogs fighting, he did his time in prison, period. It's not like the NFL is full of players that do nothing wrong. It's full of scumbags. What's one more?
