QUOTE (Iommi @ Jul 11 2009, 05:17 PM) I would imagine there's a family somewhere that doesn't share your jubilation at the moment. Well no one forced them to do it,the bull doesn't have that option

QUOTE (lordtup @ Jul 11 2009, 07:03 PM) Well no one forced them to do it,the bull doesn't have that option I know, but it makes it no easier at the moment for the family who are bereaved, so excuse me if I don't jump up and down with joy. I'm not a supporter of field sports either. To me the whole thing is a tragedy and not a football match to see who wins.

QUOTE (lordtup @ Jul 11 2009, 04:53 PM) Am I alone in rejoicing just a little at the events in a Basque town that has resulted in a little retribution being handed out to the barbaric louts that view the spectacle of bovine slaughter as a some kind of art form.How a civilized society can tolerate something that has it's base in the gladiatorial arenas of ancient Rome is totally beyond me. One can only assume that their God whoever he is,is a little less compassionate to His creations that one would expect.
Bulls 1 people 0 Hooray !! You are one sick man. You never did anything when you were young then that was a bit on the wild side? If you have kids and they ever take one hit of Ecstasy or Coke then I hope they die because they deserve 'It'. Shame on you.

Maybe so but by the same token you could say that if you broke the speed limit then you deserve to crash and burn. We have no right to tell other people from other nations how to behave. Do gooding liberals got this country into mess it is in now.

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Jul 13 2009, 09:10 PM) Anyone who gets pleasure from abusing an animal for fun, no matter what country they are from, deserves everything they get. I agree. At least it shows you they are savages.

And you mean like condoning aminal cruelty? Yes of course I am. Nothing like a good bull fight to the get the blood going. My point is that each Country has Cultural differences (some are even regional). The elimination of these 'differences' will make our Culture devoid of passion and fire and will leave a bland European 'Nanny' Superstate. Some people may want to live in a place like that. Personally I don't.
