I had a pitbull...it is like with every other dog, if you are not going to neglect the dog and if you socialize it with other dogs and other people and treat the dog like family it will be great...if you neglect the dog and treat it like furniture you are better off not getting a dog at all...do not get it as your first dog, nor should you get any large dog as your first...nurture is everything, nature is not a factor...you can make a lab in to a vicious beast and vice versa..
I walked my pitbull 3x/day for a total of 4-5 hours and he was with me or my gf the entire day...it was the best and kindest dog you can imagine and it loved our cat and the cat bossed him around all the time...both me and my gf were previous dog owners and he was the absolute best a dog could ever be because of it...I could now take a grown pitbull and be completely OK with it because I know how to handle large dogs...
a pitbull is like a 1000cc sport bike...the bike will not kill you, it is however up to you how you ride the bike and the 1000cc is not for beginners...there is nothing at all wrong with the 1000cc even though most fatal accidents happen with high power bikes...
oh and the white man is 1.850.000.000x more likely to kill you
