    Bullfighting
    Huh, this should be 'Bullfighting II', the return. However that would apply to many subjects. Helps to be senile, it's all new.

      Yours is new and improved, since the Spanish haven't spotted it yet, and what's more, it's post-Giancarlo.

          Portguese bullfighting (they don't kill the bull)
          everyone else's bullfighting (they kill the bull, even if he wins)

            Could be.


            Hello there,

            I see you are discussing Helicopters. Perhaps I can be of some assistance.

              What do I think of torturing any higher intelligence life form, like say, a bovine? I think its barbaric and criminal.

                Any try to figure out why the bulls are fighting? Can't they all just get along?

                  Bull and bear fights would be more interesting.

                  Bear and man with bowie knife would be real interesting, and fair.

                    Hmm.

                    Bovine? Intelligent?

                      Cows are the most stupid creature on earth. Except for Mobius.

                        I recall that the bulls killed in the ring are used for food afterwards also, and command a high price too.

                          Cows are intelligent relative to the majority of life one earth.

                            Portuguese bullfighting is exactly the same as everyone else´s bulflighting including the tortures and such. The only difference is that they dont kill the bull in public but at the bullring stables a second after it leaves the arena, to hipocritally protect "public sensibility" and to please some fools.

                              It's not the killing of the bull that I find to be objectionable. (MmmmMmmMmmm hamburger )

                              It's the people who view this killing as a spectator sport. WTF??

                                Agreed. Finding entertainment value in images of the death and destruction of helpless creatures is sick. Now let's all return to CNN's continuous coverage of the events in Lebanon. It's very important that we be informed each time a civilian infant has his face burnt off by a bomb. Especially if they have full-color footage that really conveys the impact of the scene.



                                EDIT: wait, are there non-civilian infants? I'm stupid, throw rocks at me.
