What was the point of the Chicago BULLS getting rid of Kirk Hinrich and signing Ronnie Brewer?
Ronnie Brewer hasnt done anything, since signing with Chicago. He is one the worst basketball players I ever seen. I dont hear any crap about how hes plays good defense, either. Thats a bunch of B.S. We should of kept Kirk Hinrich. The Bulls sure can use him right now. He was a decent defender, a good shooter, a nice passer, and a smart player. If you think Ronnie Brewer is better than Hinrich, you really dont know basketball.
Answer: rofl hinrich is white. knowone takes any white people that play or watch basketball serious

How do you feel about the banning of pit BULLS forever?
Two years ago, I heard people were no longer allowed to have any pit Bulls, not allowed to have their pit Bulls have any puppies. I heard everyone who owned any pit Bulls had to get their teeth trimmed, and spayed and neutered.
How do all you dog lovers, and animal lovers feel about that?
Answer: I think it is horrible.
Pit Bulls are wonderful dogs in the right hands. I think they are used as a status symbol by some, and not properly treated by a lot of owners. I have met some amazing pit Bulls who were the greatest family dogs anyone could ask for, who got along with everyone and everything.
I don't believe every pit owner should be punished for the mistakes of a few owners. What about the pit Bulls who are family pets, who cuddle with the cat and sleep by their owner's feet at night, and play with the children in the back yard? Or the pits who are therapy dogs or police dogs? and yes, there are those guys out there.
In my opinion, pit bull sales should be regulated but not banned. I would want it to be illegal for anyone under the ages of 18 or 21 to own one, for spay/neuter to be required for anyone but licensed, certified pit bull breeders, and for shelters to only adopt them out to responsible people with background checks. Also harsher punishments for animal cruelty violations, including but not limited to dog fighting, which I am sure you are aware that pit Bulls play a major part.
Anyway, that is my two cents.

How many games does the raptors need to win and the BULLS need to have the BULLS out of the playoffs picture?
I want to know how many games the raptors need to win and the Bulls need to lose so the Bulls dont make it to the playoffs.
Answer: Right now they are tied for 8th. They play eachother tomarrow at 6, and then after that they both have 2 games remaining in the season. Whoever wins tomarrow will most likely be the one who gets the spot, but not definatley.

Are pit BULLS naturally vicious to humans or is it due to bad owners?
IF as a pit bull owner or a regular person, you show fear to a pit bull, will it naturally attack you? Any pit Bulls owners know?
Answer: Humans made this dog "vicious". Pits do have some aggresion issues, but with proper training and a responsible owner, no dog is vicious. Pits are very good, loyal dogs they have a bad rep due to irresponsible owners.

Are the political BULLS in Australia any different than the political BULLS in the USA?
While there may be a significant difference in the size of the bullring, what differences do you perceive among the Bulls? On a percapita basis, do the Bulls in the USA plunder more from the People than do the Bulls in Australia? Does the individual bullfighter in Australia have an advantage of any kind over the individual bullfighter in the USA when confronting their particular bull? Does a parliamentary democracy offer any advantage over a representative republic form of government?
Answer: I think the big difference between the Washington and Canberra Bull Rings is where the Bull of State resides.
The US Bull of State is the President, voted for by the herd in a popular election every four years.
The Australian Bull or, as at present, Cow of State resides in London and is born in the position by virtue of one of her ancestors having won a Bull Fight some century's ago!
How this ridiculous state of affairs came about and why she and her whole family haven't been sent to the Abattoir (as the Russians did with their uppity Bulls) is a mystery of history.
So "serving" the Cow from London is Kruddybull who is currently the top Bull in the Cows Government, he is nominally leftist being in the Labor Party and in favour of Unionising Bulls and eliminating Gnomes and other things foreign to the purity of the Bull ring by rounding them up and putting all the Gnomes in a detention centre off shore on Christmas Island. He thinks Gnomes will like it there because Gnomes love Christmas and there is a Blue Vinyl wading pool there.
Opposing Kruddybull is Tony "The Monk" Abottbull who knifed Turnbull for the Top Job in the Liberal Party. Being the head of the largest "Nominally right wing" party in the country Tony is opposed to Gnomes sleeping with other Gnomes and flaunting their unnatural Gnome like lifestyles in front of impressionabull young Calves.
Tony is often seen in the Bull Ring wearing Lycra or Speedos so his stance on same Gnome couples has been questioned as Gnomaphobia but Tony has vehemently denied he's Gnomaphobic and laughed off suggestions he's a closet Gnome.

Pit BULLS are some of the absolute best family dogs around. Why is everyone scared of them?
Theyre loving and sensitive and great with kids. How come people wont adopt them from the Humane Society? I have a couple big terriers myself (they arent pit Bulls though). I have an Irish terrier and a Soft Coated Wheaten. But I definitley would consider adopting a bull terrier (pit bull) or a Staffordshire terrier.

Anyone notice the difference between the Heat & BULLS after winning their playoff series?
The Bulls showed a lot of class and went to shake and high five the Hawk players immediately after the final buzzer last night.
The Heat showed how classless they are by celebrating like they won the NBA championship immediately after the final buzzer in the second round of the playoffs against the Celtics.
No handshakes just wild celebration with Lebron in the center!
The Heat fans still wonder why their team is disliked so much.
Go Bulls!
Answer: Class is not something you learn from coaching are age. Class is something you must be born and raised with, clearly LeBrons mom forgot to show him that. And to all the Heat fans that give me thumbs down, thats cool. But all LeBrons classless acts have been recorded for us all to see. There are to many videos to mention that proves he is classless. And James is rubbing off on Wade. Its clear Wade holds himself different ever since LeBron has arrived.

What happens to the BULLS killed in a bull fight?
I just heard that there are 30,000 Bulls killed each year in Spanish bull fights. I dont know if this is true or not, but Im sure its a big number. I dont think you normally eat Bulls. Is anything productive done with them?
Answer: As Jane said, the meat is sometimes given to the poor and you can eat it in many restaurants and buy it in specialist butchers. It does have a much stronger flavour than normal beef - more like ox. In fact, they do have a dish which is "oxtail", as in "oxtail soup". Depending on the bull "family" and fight conditions the meat costs more or less.
The animals are bred just for bullfighting. Without the bullfight, they would probably be extinct, and many are left to graze on the best pastures until they die (unlike the majority of veal we see packed into the lorries along the motorways).
They are definitely not given drugs of any kind. There are particularly rigorous medical checks and controls on all the animals (unlike all the poultry, pork and beef we so happily eat).
The brave bull is a glorified animal - not just there in the ring because they need to kill something. Each "family" has its special traits which need to be taken into account when it's in the ring. They are particularly prized, worth a fortune, and are beautiful, powerful creatures.
You need to experience Spain, understand their view on the world, beauty and art to appreciate the real passion behind the bullfight. There's no way you can be convinced that it's normal, or condem them if you haven't been immersed in Spanish culture for a long time.

How lucky are the BULLS that Captain Kirk will probably be out for the whole series?
He would have contained Rose and forced others to step up which I seriously dont think anyone would have. The Bulls should have kept Hinrich as Taj Gibson is as good if not better than Carlos Boozer. Bulls got lucky that they now have to only go against Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague at PG. Hinrich would have been the difference in the series.
Answer: Is Atlanta then lucky that Rose and Boozer will not be 100% for their series? Give me a break injuries happen but life should go on, and that is why this is called a play-offs. Only the best and the most enduring wins.
Hope this helps.

Why a disproportionate number of pit BULLS at shelters?
If you look at the breeds that are available in shelters, there seems to be an awful lot of pit Bulls, definatly more than any other breed. Why? Not to generalize BUT, do the types of people that get pit Bulls have a disregard for animals? Of course I am not talking about the ignorant that use them for fighting, they obviously are devoid of normal feelings and have gutter ethics. I am talking about those that get a pit bull to be a pet.
Answer: They are called Pitt Bulls for a reason. They were specifically bred for bull fighting. They have strong jaws that latch onto their enemy and lock once attached. I have heard you can pound on their heads and not have them release you once they have a hold. Based upon their breeding and history, most Pitts are bred for illegal dogs fighting. Even a mixed Pitt stands a better chance in the ring then say, a Laborador.
That aside, they truly are good dogs when in the hands of a good and decent person. My friend had one and he used to ride in the car with us all day as we made our rounds after Katrina. He kept people away from us because they saw a Pitt and pretty much ran, but he was really a big ole lovey. My partner took him because the former owners kept him in a cage and maybe gave him food and water if they remembered. For my partner, and for Riddick the Pitt, it was a rescue.

When you get injured running with the BULLS, do you have to pay for medical treatment?
Here in NZ we have a good public health system. Even if youre injured playing Russian Roulette you get free emergency medical treatment. Does Spain have a public health system? And does private medical insurance cover injuries sustained in the bull ring and running with the Bulls?
Answer: This remains one of the great issues in the bull ring. For the matadors, good insurance is a must. Of course, some may depend on the limited coverage available through the national health care system, but most reputable bull rings provide private coverage for their star matadors.
Of course, those who would run with the Bulls are often rank amateurs, and they do not generally get too concerned with the status of their coverage.
For those who would be true aficionados of the bull ring, you would also be concerned about the welfare of the gnomes in the bull ring. Under an edict from Alfonso Benedictine Luego de Narcissa, the previous minister of health, all gnomes are required to carry excess coverage that specifically protects them from injury in the bullring. This coverage is available only through Alfonso's gnomish insurance agency, 1410 Villa de Torredore, Grand Turk Island, and all claims must be submitted before the bull is killed in the ring. It is noted that stock in Alfonsos insurance company has been most profitable...

What is most impressive to you about the 1990s Chicago BULLS dynasty?
Im continuing the Bulls trend of questions on here..
GO Bulls!
and no hating or dumb answers trying to discredit the great 6 NBA title run
What is most impressive to you about the 1990s Chicago Bulls dynasty?
Answer: The Chemistry, and the fact that guys like Pippen, Rodman and Grant were willing to do the dirty work (e.g. play defense) while Michael took all the credit.
The improvement in Pippen's game year after year, which made him a top-50 player.
And the overall intelligence of the players on the Bulls.
There was also the fact that I won a nice size bet with a Bulls-fan friend of mine by betting him that the Bulls would win the title after they got Rodman. He tought that Rodman would blow the team up, I told him Jordan and Pippen would never allow that to happen. But I digress.
Had Jordan not retired, they would not have won the title in '95, due to the lack of an inside presence.
However, with Jordan, it's very possible they could have won the title in '94, with Horace Grant still around to provide interior defense and rebounding.
Houston would have been tough in '94, that would have been a fun final to watch. But there's no way they could have won it in '95, besides, Jordan was back for those playoffs. There's no reason why the supposed GOAT would need a full season to refresh his memory as to how to play the game of basketball.
Seven titles in eight years, a very real possibility. Eight in a row, no way.

How can I help pit BULLS not get euthanized by my humane society?
The Michigan Humane Society has a kill policy on all pit Bulls and pit bull mixes. It kills me to think of how many pits are being destroyed because of human beings not wanting to go after those at fault and instead just destroying the dogs. I want to know how i can help get them out of the humane society before they are killed so i can get them to a pit bull rescue. I would also like to know how to eliminate this anti pit bull legislation that is being put in place or has already been set up. thanks.
Answer: Once its passed, its a whole new fight....to work at preventing any additional ordinances or state legislation in favor or BSL...you can follow the information below from one of my favorite web sites:
One of the most difficult things for those new to fighting BSL is expressing your feelings to the legislators and/or other officials who have proposed it. There are some very important things to remember when communicating with officials:
First and foremost, ALWAYS BE POLITE AND RESPECTFUL in all your communications with officials. Don't be combative or argumentative regardless of the difference between your point of view and theirs. Our dogs are worth putting your personal feelings of anger aside in order to communicate effectively.
Stick to the facts. Try to avoid being emotional. It is a given that you love your dogs or you wouldn't be fighting for them. The simple truth is, the officials do not care how much we love our dogs -- they care about the safety of their constituents and their community. To that end, the facts related to the inefficiency of breed specific legislation and the integral part that irresponsible owners play in dog attacks are important facts to get across to them.
Money talks. One thing that always catches the ear of officials is cost. Reinforce the fact that breed specific laws cost a lot of money - additional animal control, shelters fees, vetting, litigation, etc. The bottom line is simple... BSL costs tax payers A LOT of money!
Breed identification. Another important flaw with breed specific laws is breed identification. There are a minimum of twenty-five (25) breeds that possess the physical traits of 'pit Bulls.' Breed identification by animal control officers is subjective and, therefore, opens the city up to a liability issues in the event of mistaken identification. The "Find the Pit Bull" game is an excellent tool to demonstrate the difficulty of identifying 'pit Bulls."
General letter writing tips:
It is not necessary to type your letter. In fact, a handwritten letter has a tremendous impact. (As long as its legible!) Even a postcard is fine, as long as it's nott the pre-printed "form" card.
Be brief and to the point. Try to limit your letter to one or two subjects. Include all bill titles and numbers whenever possible.
Send your letter as soon as you hear about an issue or bill. If it comes up again later in the session, you can always write again or make a phone call.
During the legislative session, send letters to the State Capitol building. During the interim, send letters to the legislators' home addresses.
Below are some form letters (ranging from very simple to quite detailed) which oppose BSL that you can modify to fit your current situation and send to officials.
http://www.defendingdog.com/id2.html
In attempting to reverse these ordinances and laws -- it takes alot more work....more than signing petitions, letters and the like.

SPORTS BRIEFING | BASKETBALL; New Deal for BULLS’ Rose
Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls point guard and the N.B.A.’s reigning most valuable player, agreed to a five-year contract extension worth more than $94 million that kicks in next season. Rose quickly took a starring role with his hometown team after being selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2008 draft. Sports Briefing | Basketball - By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BULLS?????
I think the Bulls can make history this year by actually coming back from a 3-0 lead. The reason i think this is because the next game is at home and because I think it wont be to hard beating detroit at the palace...........What do u guys think will happen??
Answer: Bulls are going to be the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-0 deficit. They will play in Chicago and will win that game there and they now have a lot of confidence to play in Detroit. The Bulls are hot right now and playing at their pace. Detroit seems to be tired and beat up. Detroit has a tendency to play lazy, but the Bulls have figured them out.
