Ignorance is bliss when it comes to Pits. Right now we have two rescue pits in our home - as well as three cats and a taco bell dog. And our four year old daughter. They are the two best dogs a family could own. Since we rescued both as puppies, we raised them to be family dogs and they behave as such - they would lick you to death before they even thought about anything more aggressive. They are incredibly loyal, take commands very well and are very submissive around other dogs - we have never had a problem. In fact, they are very lazy dogs. It's how they are raised and trained, not how they are born. Don't hate the breed because of idiots like Michael Vick and his breathren crackheads and rapper wanna be's. The initial post to this thread speaks volumes about the ignorance of the author.
