What is Wrong with People?

He was 75 when I moved out of one of his properties back in 2008, so he is 80 now ...

And if he don't go to kicking your ass, he'll just cut you up a little bit.

When I asked him, "Why?", his response to me was, "Jack, I don't want the glory, I just want the money."

I really liked this answer. It says an awful lot in just a few words. There are lots of people who have success with singular purpose. For lots it all about winning. For some the winnings are more more important than the win. Winnings being money and the win bringing notoriety. EWO

And I never gave a damn about the money, it was all about the thrill of a win or just competing for that matter.

I have been the same way. Standing on top of a winner and knowing he would go for more was worth a mint. But as I got/get older I can see the point. I think it is OK if that is put out there upfront, its the goal as well as the measuring stick. Makes things easier. If a guy said I sell puppies to supplement my income. Then one would know what to expect. Lesser dogs being bred, younger dogs, cheaper foods, little to no accomplishments, profit is the motivation. As long as things are upfront I respect it even if I do not particularly agree. If Mr. Burton said it was the money then I respect him for putting that out there. And on top of that it explains a lot. That 4XW making puppies is some pretty good money over and extended period of time. That 5th, 6th 7th and 8th is more and quicker. Paul Newman once said, 'Money won is twice as sweet as money earned' or something to that effect. EWO

LMAO, yep, he was a riot like that & would pull a knife & cut you with it too, no hesitation ... had a lot of fun stories to tell

It is easy to distinguish between the haters pit side and the ones who may actually think this dog is a cur (and I know nothing about this particular dog nor the name callers either so no insult is intended). If they believe he is a cur, and the object is winning, and winning means money, and everybody likes money they should have been calling his weight then and there. Or, they should be blowing up Wildchilds phone with the weight, saying heal him up and bring him out. On the other hand if no one ever dials that number, well, that is just plain and simple hating. EWO

Exact, direct and to the point. Your statement proves to be both accurate and logical. I’ve said this time and time again, “it doesn’t matter how talented any dog is, because there will always be someone out there who will have something negative to say about the dog regardless of how impressive they showed or who they defeated”.

The ONLY thing that matters is weight, and if those haters aren’t calling it, well then, let them hate.
