Bull fighting

[Big Black Dog]

I've been to one bull fight in my entire life. It was part of a tour a bunch of us sailors took when the ship pulled into Barcelona, Spain for a week. I am far from any sort of expert status on bull fighting. Just telling you what I remembered seeing. I'm willing to bet that the documentary you watched was slanted towards animal cruelity and not all of the social, financial, sports, industry and other areas that bull fighting has a link to. Personally, one bull fight per life time is enough for me. The Spanish though think it is great shit. Guess it doesn't take much to entertain some folks.

I'm just telling you.. I don't go to bullfights, and I don't go to rodeos either.

I go to a rodeo now and then just to see a bunch of horse's asses.

Personally I love bull fighting. I must, I seem to do it every day in here.

As for me, I do think it's cruel, which is why I don't feel sorry when people get the horns. They knew what they were signing up for.

Does it reflect poorly on my manhood that I think bull fighting is barbaric and cruel and has no place in a civilized world?

Does it reflect negatively on my manhood that I know plants have feelings, and I don't give a fuck, because I prefer eating than to starving to death?

Recent studies have proven plants have feelings, too - The Daily Collegian Online

People can make all the "we should respect other cultures" excuses they want, bull fighting is still brutal and sadistic, no matter what spin you try to put on it.

I'm not saying that you, Drac, are trying to make excuses for it. Just that some people do, just like they try to claim dog fighting and cock fighting have some sort of redeeming social value.

My question to you is why you insist on abandoning the values of liberalism and insisting that the government has the right to force impose moral values on those who disagree?

I always root for the bull.

Bullfighting is like nascar. I am hoping that the idiot with the cape is going to get gored and nascar is only interesting when the cars crash.

There is a line in the movie Tequila Sunrise where Mel Gibson calls matadors pussies. I agree.

There is no bullfighting in the US. Do you think we should tell other governments how to run their countries?

No, but I still root for the bull.

I feel more sorry for the bull but I also feel sorry for someone who kills one in such a way. I can't imagine what it does to you psychologically to participate in such a disgusting ritual.

Yes. What is the point of keeping your mouth shut when you see an animal being tortured?

Try and think harder WHY?

Ever stand down a bull?

Safety behind an avatar is very courageous indeed. Try a real life bull sometimes and you will understand.

Because humans need them more.
