Seriously, it seems every story you hear in the news about pitbulls has to do with somebody getting attacked. Usually also mentioned in the story is somebody shot or other illegal activities like drugs.

I'm sure if you search Google hard enough, one or two positive stories can be found about these beasts.

Still, majority wise only poor and/or stupid people own pit bulls.

Maybe if enough people disagree, I'll be "cool" enough to make a the worst poll. (lol)

Seriously, don't take it too seriously. I'm serious.

• 33 U.S. fatal dog attacks occurred in 2010. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 650 U.S. cities, pit bulls led these attacks accounting for 67% (22). Pit bulls make up approximately 5% of the total U.S. dog population.3
• In 2010, the combination of pit bulls (22) and rottweilers (4) accounted for 79% of all fatal attacks. In the 6-year period from 2005 to 2010, this same combination accounted for 72% (131) of the total recorded deaths (182).
• The combined breakdown between the two breeds is substantial. From 2005 to 2010, pit bulls killed 106 Americans, about one citizen every 21 days, versus rottweilers, which killed 25 Americans, about one citizen every 88 days."http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2010.php
