Comment on Bullfighting – Sometimes the Bull Wins by Manolete-je

Manolete-je — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 00:11:00 +0000

Like you, many people who do not understand bullfighting or toreo would consider that the bull “wins” each time the torero is injured. From that perspective, the bull has “won” hundreds of times for centuries.
Bullfighting or toreo from the point view of an aficionado, like me, has nothing to do with winning or losing- whether it’s the torero or the bull. If we consider motor racing, we don’t think the car defeated the driver because it crashed? It’s simply out of the race, etc. It is ridiculous to conceive that toreo is about who wins. The idea of winning or losing- whether it be the bull or the torero- is a foreign concept to toreo aficionados. Toreo is not about winning or losing.
Please note that for hundreds of years men and women of all ages have been toreros or have aspired to be toreros. It is nothing new to see “teenagers” who want to be toreros get injured. “Teenagers” have been participating in torero for hundreds of years. One of Mexico’s greatest toreros, Miguel Espinosa “Armillita”, who recently retired, began training to be a torero since he was 7 or 9 years of age. That’s typical for many who aspire to be toreros. It is nothing new in Mexico, even in Spain! In this case, the goring was so severe that it gets news coverage.
Many people may not like bullfighting, that’s fine; but they should not talk without knowing!
Lastly, whether the bull lives or dies is not a valid argument. Granted, when the animal dies it should be with some dignity, and little fear. The bull will die! In the United States all bulls or cattle die at the slaughter house when they are 3 to 6 years of age, if I remember correclty, and then they to the meat market. In toreo countries where “fighting cattle” are bred, they go to the slaughter house at 4 to 6 years. All the other bulls or fighting stock go to the slaughter house and then to the meat market just like in the USA. (Fighting bulls which are set aside for the bullring are raised in the wild from birth until they go to the ring).

Comment on ’72 Dolphins Need to Get On With Their Lives by meta4man

What can I say, haven't even had the stomach to look to see that somebody commented this week.Thanks for reading and replying.

Its true, the Bears have some kind of juju when it comes to the Dolphins. Around here, we worry about Monday Nights, and Miami, and then find new excuses later. At leastwe didn't lose to Wannstedt.

The thing about the Dolphins,I didn't just notice it this year,of course it happens every year and these guys now will be following the Colts around.

Good Luck with that, you might end up rooting for the Bears later.

I guess you won’t like my post… ha ha… about the result of the game, entitled Dolphins Shock the World – Uphold 1972 Undefeated Squad. But thanks for at least keeping the discussion alive. 36 years and counting…

Comment on Brian Urlacher – Rate him what you want! by chzhed

Call me old school, but I love to watch players that love the game – not just the money. I love a great defensive battle with hard hits and guts. I am pretty unpopular with my opinion that show-boating should be eliminated – isn’t playing tough and winning the reason these guys get paid? I know that sounds simplistic, but I am sick of watching the antics and dances of truly over-rated players. I know in some cities this sells tickets and the extra show is expected – I am just glad that Urlacher doesn’t feel the need to embarrass himself to that extreme. He just lets his play speak for itself!

Comment on John Kerry is a Snob by john

I just found out about this, but my impression is that Kerry is just being an idiot again and that Bush is getting a little desperate. You’re right, Kerry is a snob. He is not completely in touch with the average American. But remember, Kerry is a Viet Nam vet and Bush is not. Even though Kerry is not as good a politician, he is to me a better person, even if he is occassionally a monumental idiot. But this will blow over and I doubt it will have the slightest effect on the election. One thing is for sure: no one in their right mind is going to give Kerry serious consideration as a presidential contender in ’08. This, I am glad about. Now compare Kerry to Sen Bill Frist. That Terry Schiavo thing destroyed any chance that he would be a serious presidential contender in ’08 either. Way back in the day when the republicans were whining about term limits (you don’t here that anymore) Frist promised that he would only remain in office for twelve years. He is following through on that promise by not running for senate this time. For that I give him credit, but that’s it for me. I think that Frist and Kerry are both a couple of morons and don’t think they have a prayer at becoming president. The republicans were all about making this election purely local for all the congressional elections and now, all of a sudden it’s about Iraq? Give me a break. These guys are desperate. But if you are unhappy about Kerry’s remarks, I don’t blame you. You have every reason and right to lambast him for it. So do it with relish, I’m behind you all the way on that. What I want out of this election is for the democrats to at least win a majority in the house so that they can clip Bush’s wings and make a start at getting the country back on its feet. I think that will happen and not a moment too soon. As far as impeachment, even though Bush thoroughly deserves to be impeached, I don’t think it will be good for the country to do so. The backlash from Monica Lewinski is hurting us even now. Hopefully Bush will follow the advice from the Iraq Study Group that will come out after the elections. That is, talk to Syria, talk to Iran, and think real hard about how to pull the troops out of the way without starting world war III. If this country fucks this up enough, then we might be forced to have a draft. And then it will truly be another Viet Nam. Our armed forces are being torn asunder. We can’t afford to do any more. Our economy is on the brink of disaster and so is our national security. Things are not looking good to me. And that is regardless of who is to blame. There are a lot of shitty democrats too. I can’t stand Harry Reid. But I do like Nancy Pelosi quite a bit regardless of what Rush or any other right wing shill says bad about her. We desperately need publicly financed elections. All politicians will be suspect until then, whether they are republican or democrat.

Hey,
No, I didn’t hear about that, but I agree with you–that’s fucked up.
