What are the cats with the longer coats and the orange, black and white hair? I think there was some white....ugh my memory is failing hard right now. They are larger cats too...

Calicos?
Yes!
Those are my favorite cats. But that's based entirely on personal experience.
Kayne Red Robe said in the SE++ DnD thread that he had to take his little brother's cat to the vet because it got mauled by the neighbor's pit bull. The cat didn't make it.
Fucking people not controlling their dogs.
Some friends of mine have pit bull (well, mix) and he is the most cowardly dog I have ever met.
As my sister (who's really into dogs) says, "Blame the deed, not the breed."
It's completely possible to train any breed of dog to maintain good behavior. Pit Bulls may be more aggressive as a breed, but if you accept the responsibility of owning one, you have to accept the responsibility of training it not to be a douchebag.
I don't think that pit bulls are even any more agressive then any other dogs. They are however incredibly smart and supposed to be one of the best dog breeds to have around children (due to the fact that they tollerate rough housing pretty well).
Case in point about the smart thing, my ex-girlfriend had a pit bull that if her brother was wrestling me, she would grab him by his belt and pull him off of me. It was awesome.

I've said it before, but I specifically dislike "big dog" people because quite often they did not buy their dog to have a companion or a pet, but to have a "big dog." They enjoy having something tough and dangerous because it makes their dicks hard, and they make no effort to train them properly. Poorly-trained toy dogs are annoying yappy little shitters, but a 12 pound Yorkie can only do so much damage. A poorly trained 80 pound German Shephard can seriously injure or even kill small children or older adults with poor balance. And a pit bull explicitly trained to be aggressive (as some, not all, but too many, are) can be a serious threat.
When a dog acts out it is solely and exclusively the responsibility of the owner. Dogs are dangerous, aggressive, territorial animals by nature. They can be gentle, responsible, and courageous companions by nurture. But no dog, regardless of training or breed, is smart enough to exercise judgment when deprived of a master to direct it, and no owner should be stupid enough to put their animal in any situation where instinct could potentially override conditioning and lead to a serious incident.
I don't blame the breed or the deed. I blame the owner.

Well the breed is dangerous when it's trained improperly. I mean you treat a corgi badly and you'll just have to worry about knee caps where as by their size and ability pit bulls can be deadly. It's not their fault, but I can't ignore their characteristics make them deadlier then others.
Ultimately, I love you, but you just have such a mob mentality about some things.
I also hate most other religions.
Christians are just, you know, every-fucking-where.
Really my beef is with that asshole Abraham who started all of this.
And mob mentality my ass. We reach our conclusions on our own as often as not. I'm fucking tired of everyone thinking PA is full of clones,
If you want to pin it on a patriarch go with Jacob. In the older parts of the Tanakh Abraham and Isaac don't show up at all. EG: the credo that begins "A perishing Aramean was my father...". He's the one who had the bright idea to go down into Egypt anyway.
But if you want to look at real culprits for dickery I think Solomon and King Josiah (+ the priesthood that pulled his strings) are it in the Tanakh and St. Paul + the pseudoepigraphic "st. John" of revelations in the NT.

Oh, about the kid thing. One of the couples living there recently had a kid and while all of the dogs love her, the pit bull is very protective of that baby. Even when she's sleeping in another room, he'll go back there periodically just to check on her. I know I called him a huge coward, but I truly pity anyone that tries to mess with that kid.

I should clarify that by "big dog" people I did not necessarily mean people who prefer big dogs. I mean it in the sense of a certain subset of dog owners who like their dog to be mean and aggressive, not for security purposes, but because they are fucking sociopaths. I mean it in the same sense that referring to "gun nuts" does not necessarily imply that all gun owners are irresponsible dickfaces. Although most of the gun nuts I have known have also been "big dog" people. That should tell you something.
