Dogs are not bad. Only owners are.
My lab has play dates with several dogs, and one of them is a gray/silver pit. The dog is a sweetheart, because his owner is a sweetheart.
When I see some thuggy looking kid walking a Pitbull on a choker chain(or an improperly fitted prong), I know that there's no hope for that dog.
The problem with the Pit breed is that they generally attract douchey type of people as owners. If the Pit gets lucky enough to have a good, responsible owner that trains him properly, they're as harmless as a kitten.
There's a Golden Retriever in my neighborhood that I won't let my Lab go anywhere near -- he's a snarling wolverine everytime you see him -- and I've met the owner, who turns out to be one of the biggest assholes I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. Big surprise.
