In a sense, black holes do 'pull' space into them. Here's why --
Einstein showed us that what we call gravity is actually a distortion of space caused by the presence of any mass in that space. Not just theory either but proven by countless experiments. Imagine a thin, flat sheet of rubber. You place a bowling ball on it. Where the ball rests the rubber sheet is distorted. If you place a marble just inside the edge of that distortion it will move towards the bowling ball. Substitute space for the rubber sheet and you've got the idea.
A black hole is a super-massive object in space, therefore the surrounding space will be drawn towards and into it.

I think it will only pull everything in space but not the space itself because space is nothing. And if it is nothing, how can it be pulled by a black hole? If ever space can be pulled by a black hole, then what will be left in the universe is the black hole and a blank space...

A black hole doesn't pull space into it; think of it more as a very deep dent in space, like a rubber sheet that has a heavy weight put onto it. A black hole is really a curvature in the space-time continuum.

As far as the scientist today know all the laws of physics as we know in the surrounding atomic world fail to exist in black holes, survival of information is one of the laws basically, so nobody really knows yet what happens in there, there are some theories about this, you can only choose which one is more close to what you believe really, hopefully with the new space telescope (james watt i think its called) scientist will get some answers in the years to come, good luck

Yes u are Right space is nothing. Space is such a good vacuum that the traveling wave tubes we use for communications do not have any glass envelope.

More importantly, can a black hole swallow another black hole? How many licks does it take to get to the chewy center of a Tootsie Pop? The world may never know!

yes, it's called "event horizon" the distance from the center of the blackhole at which the Einsten's General relativiy doesn't work anymore to predict space-time shape and properties.

yes it does, it pulls the fabric of existence into it esentially replacing the nothingness of space with the absoulute nothingness of a black hole.

Black Holes can only pull matter in it but space doesn't...wow that's a hard question. ouch my brain!!
