That's not arguing for arguing sake. That's having an opinion and trying to make an ARGUMENT for my opinion which YOU also know has changed any number of times including things you've changed my mind on.

See? That right there is an argument for sport. You know I don't have stored documentation of every argument we've ever had - there is not enough storage in the world for something like that. However you also know, and I know you know, and you know I know you know, that "we" have had many an argument where we are actually in agreement, yet you do not agree that we are in agreement and still want to argue.

It's because you're contrary.

Everybody clear out. The #### is about to hit the fan.


I'll give everyone 1 minute to find something else to do or I'll find it for you...

Times up.

And, of course, through "every argument we've ever had - there is not enough storage in the world for something like that" every last one of which had not one, but TWO people involved, I can count how many times you EVER considered that maybe, just maybe, it was, perhaps, possible that I was not the ONLY contrary one;

ZERO.

It doesn't always take two people to argue. That's just what argumentative people say in order to shift responsibility for their behavior onto someone else.

Well, I'm sure you miss it just about as much as I do so, I will bid you a pleasant evening and it's been fun!

Here's to regulating pit bull OWNERS.

PS, you're also thin-skinned with no discernible sense of humor unless it's you doing the teasing.

Determining Which Dog Breed Has the Strongest Jaw
National Geographic did several tests of bite force with numerous animals, including dogs and wolves, to see which had the strongest jaws and the worst bite. Not surprisingly, the wolf was the canine with the most powerful bite, measuring 406 pounds of pressure. A wolf can, when it is protecting itself, inflict a bite that carries up to 1,200 pounds of pressure.

The top five domesticated breeds thought to have the strongest jaw are all large dogs known for their bite. They are generally the same breeds attributed with the highest rate of attacks on people, and they are often listed as dangerous dogs.

Pit Bull
The Pitbull has become a breed synonymous with strong jaws, biting and danger. While this dog does not have the highest bite force of the dogs National Geographic tested, it is one of the top four. The Pitbull bite was measured at 235 pounds of pressure. It is the most highly recognized breed for jaw and bite strength.

German Shepherd
Although the German Shepherd was originally bred as a herding dog, it has been used as a guard and police dog with good reason. This is a powerful and intelligent breed. The German Shepherd's bite measured 238 bite force, just slightly above the Pitbull.

Rottweiler
The Rottweiler, or Rottie as it is often called, has a huge head and large jaws. This breed bit with 328 pounds of pressure. The Rottweiler is considered the second most dangerous breed of dog; the Pitbull is number one.

Doberman
The Doberman is a highly energetic dog that can be very aggressive. The bite force is reputed to be 600 pounds of pressure; however that seems to be largely unsubstantiated.

Mastiff
Many breeders say that the Mastiff has the strongest jaw. Reportedly, the Mastiff has a bite force of 552 pounds. If true, this would make it stronger than any other domesticated dog on record.
Out of curiosity - why are the first three reported as if fact but the last two are listed using "reputed" and "reportedly"? So apparently they don't really know what the bite force of the doberman and mastiff are?
