Thicko

[/quo

Thicko? maybe around the waist.There is nothing thick about not having to disagree with bull fighting, all the years i lived in Spain i enjoyed going, just because the loony left on here want it banned doesn't mean i do. Thats the trouble with this world too many people poking their nose in to other peoples business and cultures instead of getting on with our own problems.

[russycarps]

what happens when the bullfighter strikes the killing blow? Do we all cheer? Or boo? Or what?

Would a simulated seal clubbing event be ok too?

How about simulating torture of humans? Is that ok?

Should we have a water boarding tent where we all cheer as someone dressed as osama bin laden gets water poured over his face.

I mean it's not REAL is it. Just a simulation.

I'm a little bit in love with Russy right now.

Ahh thank you for the clarification of your position. You also enjoy the real thing. How lovely.

What is "left" about supporting animal rights by the way. Could you explain that one to me?

Guess you think Archery is wrong? Wrestling? Magic tricks where people escape etc.?

[cejx]

I'd ignore him. People who like the real things are thick.

[DeanoL]

"a sport"

This is the problem. Right here.

[strummer77]

What a peculiar post.

Yes, I think paul daniels is the antichrist.

It's people like some of the posters on here that have Punch 'n' Judy banned for promoting domestic violence and nativity plays censored just in case it offends some one who doesnt hold the same beliefs

I agree that everyone should be entitled to their own point of view but in turn should not force it upon others. If you dont like Bull fighting, Nativities or Punch N Judy, don't go!

Will it make any difference that, according the Common's latest announcement, the artificial bulls will breathe fire?

russycarps - the only person in existence to never have enjoyed a single second of any violent simulation of anything - films, TV, a pretend punch to a mate in the pub, whatever.

I just hope you're a vegan matey, else what you're posting becomes even more laughable.

[fatyeti24]

you are so not wrong.... God, I am genuinely astonished at some peoples views... and having seen the poster which Gonzo has just linked to, I', even more pissed off!

[CaledonianGonzo]

I wouldnt be at all surprised if a lot of spanish people would find this very offensive.

[Mardy]

wow, I;m genuinely shocked and disappointed about this.

Maybe next year we can look forward to some other culturally acceptable practices from around the world. Maybe the stoning of adulterous women, as long as it's only simulated , it's all OK. Cheer them on!

[stuie]

Cast aside your inhibitions, let the Latino spirit boil your blood and enter a place where man and bull are equal.

[airds]

"Expect the unexpected, from the madness of Mexican wrestling and fire breathing bulls to ludicrous games and The Common's very own 'La Tomatina'."

So its an mechanical bull, is everybody happy now ?

If anyone still disagrees with it you can still get your money back before the start of May
