Quoting Pyrex (Reply 1): My views on bullfights in particular, and traditions in general.
I tend to agree with that. But let's face it, it's still popular. And leave it to the people of New Orleans to "spoof" something...the city has long been known for its satire.
Quoting Pyrex (Reply 1): Way to honor a barbaric pasttime, New Orleans. What is next, the "delapidation of the adulterous woman in New Orleans", with papier-mache rocks?
Rollergirls are safer than bulls, at the very least.

I take it you don't observe Easter then?

For what it's worth, part of Danish midsummer tradtition includes burning a "witch" made from various materials on the bonfire, sending her off to Brocken.

Quoting FLY2HMO (Reply 6): And therefore destroy an important part of a nation's history and culture for some bulls that are gonna end up in the butcher anyways?
What important part of a nation's history and culture? Just like delapidation is an important part of Saudi Arabia? You moral relativist types never cease to amaze me The notion that just because someone out there is doing it then it must be right must be a b*tch when you are on the receiving end of something, though - then suddenly it is not a tradition anymore.
And if you refuse to see the difference between killing an animal for food and torturing it for hours straight while making its death a public spectacle for retarded farm-boys then you are beyond a rational discussion.
Read this very carefully, I shall write this only once!
