From what I've read Vick did not do this as a child. He started this as an adult.People do bad things because they get "good vibes" from doing them. This is not a disease or a result from any "confusion" on his part of what is acceptable by society. This is a character issue, plain and simple.
Everything he did was by a conscience choice... right, wrong, moral, immoral, compassionate, or selfish. Do what you want then justify. I for one
will never believe this man didn't know any better. He did these horrific things for five years! I bet he knew enough to only tell certain individuals about what he was doing off the field. We have a responsibility to choose our behaviors. He was not under some uncontrollable force which he couldn't escape...
If you still want to offer him a free pass on this all I have to say on that is.....Everyone must overcome something....that simply is life....To suggest that your history is your destiny and that we are created by our past is an insult to the capacity of human beings to overcome obstacles....What happens in our childhoods is not our faults, but how we handle it is our responsibility.... |
Did you realize that Vick admitted his guilt and took responsibility. I actually have a cousin who plays pro ball and knows Vick, we spoke about this and he stated that Vick grew up around it and started as a teenager weather he was fighting or watching from the sidelines. I also read it as well.
I aint never said anything about givin him a free pass. Come on now. He admitted his guilty. A persons history has much to do with their destiny, its what you do with you life despite of obstacles that matters the most.. Its easy for you all to say all this but like i said it takes some gutts to actually realize that this is a problem for some cultures and be able to stop more Vick from hurting animals and help more of them become doctors lawyers and even pro football players.
