i've only met sweet pits. a friend of mine had two, one he insisted was a bull terrier (not so, apparently he'd never seen patton) but was actually like a mini-brindle pit... named matilda. so sweet. his other was a huge monster with a head bigger than a basketball and more gentle than my australian shepherd. he was annoyingly good at fetch and would toss you the ball with his jaws every couple of seconds. these were some very snuggly bears.
you also have to take into account that some pits are bred for their aggressiveness or come from a line bred for aggressiveness. as they creep into the suburbs, this trait will be bred out to suit the new style of owner.
i watched a program once where people decided to experiment with the domestication of foxes. generally these guys do not bark in the conventional sense... but they found, after breeding docile foxes with other docile foxes, over the period of a few generations their ears started to flop and they actually started to bark. i like!
point is... if there's anyone to blame for the asshole pit, it's humans.
pit bulls? not crap!
