The opportunity to leave is there, no question, but you're denying the factors of why someone would stay with an abuser.

Eaton is a pro football player... makes a lot of money. She probably doesn't work. Where's she going to go, and what is she going to do. Trust me, I worked in the family violence unit at a DA's office. Sometimes it's not as easy as "I'm leaving."

Why do you think DA's offices will prosecute abusers even when the victim doesn't want to? It's because they're often times trying to cover for the abuser. They love him, and think it was just a one time thing. Then the second time they come to you, they can't leave him because of money. then the third time, it's because they don't want to take the kids away from him. It goes on and on.

Anyone who thinks that a victim can always just decide to leave and it's done, probably doesn't have much background in the area.

I agree, there are always circumstance in which people choose to endure this type of behavior. However, the choice is there. There is something to be said for the ability to avoid a life threatening situation. I am not saying beating your spouse is right in any way shape or form. If this is the impression I've left you with, then shame on me. I appoligize for that.

At the end of the day, when the dogs are thrown in a pit and only one lives to see another day or when the child is beaten too severly and dies as a result, the opportunity to make a choice of survival is not present. As a society, it is our responsability to protect and prevent. You can't protect or prevent the women/man that makes the choice to go back. How ever difficult the decision to leave might be, a person will elect to save there own life, more times then not. The choice is there for a grown person. That to me is an important factor in this discussion.

Are they both felonies?

Yes, there is Felony Child Abuse and dog fighting is considered a Felony as well.

hmmmm Anna Nichole .....

Well, choices here are fairly limited. I guess I'll take Michael Moore but if there is an expanded list, I'd really like to review that.

It is one of the same reasons people get up in arms about children being abused more than they would adult women.

It is not that they are ok with adult women being abused. Unless you abuse women yourself chances are you are not going to be ok with it.

Children are normally caught in it and do not have the means to escape it most of the time.

Children and dogs depend on adults to shelter them, feed them and protect them and they should never be set up to be taken advantage of for a terrible reason of entertainment of certain situations.

Nobody wants to see women get abused, and we have no clue if that is the case in this situation at all. We have no report saying the girl was hit, kicked, bitten or any other information.

We do have information of what the vick situation entails. Whether it has been proven or not at least we know what it is about in specific details.

People sometimes just go overboard trying to justify one thing with something completely different IMO.

Taking one thread about one topic and feeling the need to go into a completely different thread about a different topic that is barely similar...spout off some holier than thou stuff or calling out people and than probably wonder why someone would argue about it.

I really don't like M&M blizzards from Dairy Queen. So after work I think I will go to McDonalds and complain about their milk shakes.

I mean they both are ice cream related products from fast food joints and I want to make a stink about it.

The issue is not about calling people out or holier than though it is more about what people have said about Vick on this board, not really because what he did was illegal, but because they have a moral problem with it and just think it is absolutely terrible, a scourge on society, and my point is that there are many worse things that people do, IMO, wife beaters, DUI offenders, those that cheat on their spouse, and the likes that get my post deleted, that do not cost them their job in the NFL, nor cause them to lose their reputations.

IT is hypocritical that this moral violation deserves some worse punishment than the others IMO



And yet we as a country kill innocent human beings every day!

I'm sorry if this just irritates me so much that I am posting about it but it does. People in this country care more about animal rights than they do about other human beings, and these threads prove that.

I love DQ.....

But try Popeyes. Popeyes > KFC. And its not even close, and I like KFC too..


But the spicy mashed potatoes are sooooo good. And there chicken is better.

Actually I am not big on chicken as a whole...thanks Army.

However when I was down south I would take Popeyes any day of the week over KFC.

Loved those red beans and rice.

You comparing fighting dogs to child abuse because neither can defend themselves is like comparing having a dog herd cattle for you to slavery ......

Now make another "argument" about how close minded I am

And you just proved you don't get what I was saying.

Geez I am shocked.

Oh I agree that lack of posts on a message board does not necessarily = lack of outrage. But then when you start talking about it, and people start actually trying to rationalize and justify why dog fighting is as bad or worse than domestic violence, that looks like a lack of outrage regarding the domestic violence.

I think some of it is desensitization as well. Domestic violence is old news. Dog fighting is new.

Or it could be people just don't care about Chad Eaton so they either don't bother going into a thread about him or they just read a little of it and go about their business.

I also doubt you will see this on sports center and other news channels every hour for weeks on end compared to Vick.

Why...do you think people are not sympathetic to women getting beaten? No of course that is not the reason.

This whole argument started because someone wanted to make a look at me post and tie it into Vick.

If Left Offensive tackle Todd Fordham of Carolina gets arrested for stealing a high priced car. But at the same time QB Eli Manning gets arrested for stealing a x-box.

Both committed a crime. One is obviously more serious.

Which do you honestly think would get more press and generate more talk about on a message board?

They both were arrested for stealing things. They both were in the wrong.
But who is going to generate more media reactions and reactions of fans on NFL message boards.

It is obvious who will generate more.

Just saying...some people just do not get into it as much if it is basically a nobody compared to someone that is a franchise super star.

Let's make a bet.

The scenario is the following.

Someone kidnaps your Wife, your Children and your Dogs/Cats.

You are informed that one of them will be abused and could possibly die due to that abuse.

You have to choose one and the other two will not be hurt and they will be let free.

You have to choose one of the three...there is not any other option.

Here is the bet...how many on this forum do you honestly feel would choose their wife or children to be abused over their dogs?

The thing is, just because someone cares about what vick has done to dogs, but are not that interested in what some guy like Eaton does (which there are no details AT THIS TIME) does...does not mean people think it is ok to do one or the other.
