That doesn't make me a moron, it makes me heartless. Get it right. Yeah, I'm dead inside. And don't expect any sympathy from me should YOU ever be attacked by a pit bull. You will have obviously gotten what you deserve, as these dogs are angels and pure as the driven snow.
My white-trash neighbor has two pits. They are constantly getting out of the back yard and charging and snarling at people on the street. They have, on numerous occasions, attempted to attack me and my dog in my own back yard. I told the owner in no uncertain terms that if their dogs ever did that again to me, I WOULD kill them. I will kill it, I would be completely justified, and I won't appologize for protecting myself from a dangerous animal.
But that is because of the individual dogs, not the breed as a whole. that is like saying all Arab people are bad because some are terrorists, or all white people are the devil because some are serial killers, or all Japanese are rotten because of Pearl Harbor. I feel that your argument is fundamentally flawed.

It is a combination of a hyper-aggressive breed (and anyone who says a Pit is no more aggressive than, say, a Cocker Spaniel is fooling no one but themselves) and a POS neighbor.

I never said that the puppies deserved to be killed like that. The exact opposite if you'll review my post. No animal should be treated in a cruel or inhumane manner. I merely added that I'm not particulary sorry that they are no longer around.

A pit bull is no more aggressive than a cocker spaniel. Anybody that says otherwise has done no research.
I'm guessing your problem is you just have not met a good pitbull so you apply that to all pitbulls. Pitbulls have been some of the nicest dogs I have encountered. I've also been around one rottweiler and it was a great dog. Just hard to play with it because it slobbered so much on everything. The meanest dogs I've been around were dachshunds. Granted they weren't big enough to do damage to me, they certainly tried.
I'm glad you don't agree with the dogs being killed in a horrific manner, but you should feel the same way about them as you would if someone killed some poodles or any other dog breed.

You are referring to a breed that was traditionally bred for dog fighting. They are absolutely more aggressive than a Cocker Spaniel!

Every Pit I have ever encountered (and there are more than just my neighbor's dogs) have been more aggressive than your average mutt. HOWEVER, I had a friend once that had a Pit Chihuahua (I sh!t you not). His name was Festus. He was about twice as large as a typical Chihuahua, barrel chested like a Pit (brindled too), and had the little bug-eyed Chihuahua head. THAT was one cool dog! (Either his daddy was one ballsy little Chihuahua, or his mother was one very violated one!)
As far as Rotts go, I have yet to meet a mean one. And before you say it, yes, I know mean ones are out there. I had a large one scare the bejesus out of me during a furniture delivery once (thought I was dead meat!) but when the owner got home (didn't know he wasn't there when I went to the door) and introduced us to the dog, he was just a big slobbering goof-ball.

Any dog can be as gentle or cruel as their owner trains them.

Yes they are bred for dog fighting. Not because of their aggressiveness but because of the way they are built. ANY dog can be MADE aggressive.
They are absolutely not more aggressive than other dogs. How about reading that link I post and/or doing some research? 
So you've only encountered mean pitbulls, don't apply that to every single one. Though it does make sense you would encounter more aggressive pitbulls than other dogs, because that's how many people raise them.
So you are correct, many pitbulls are more aggressive than other dogs. BUT are they naturally more aggressive? NO. They are raised that way. It's people like your neighbors that make them that way. They would do that to any dog they own. A properly raised pitbull is a great, non-aggressive dog.
