“Big balls = No brains?”

Might be but they get all the chicks so who cares? Besides those who don’t get.

Unfortunately having brains isn’t much of use while searching women. Any questions?

“…in a case like this they’re just fecking useless. I couldn’t muster respect for this sort of “bravery”.”

Sorry my friend, you are quite alone with your views. See how many people watch “Survivors” or any make-believe “reality” show every day.

Compared to that crap this is a real deal. And more eco-friendly than wars.

“Useless” doesn’t mean anything in this context, do you you really think that medieval tournaments were useful? For anything than showing off?

There are always warmongers who claim that only real bravery is shown in wars, but we can’t start wars just to show how brave we are, can we?

That would be really stupid, not only useless, wouldn’t it?

Also the most brave men get the women, that’s a fact you can’t circumvent, so there _must_ be organized ways to show bravery.

“Heros”, if you wish. Small and local heros but who cares, most of them want just one one woman and it’s enough for that.

Otherwise (especially) teens invent those (ways to show bravery) themselves, imho even worse option.

“Who’s the alpha male” is a question that _has to be solved_ one way or the other and that’s a question which applies to any living thing here on Earth.

Hey! I’m Spanish too, and I think EXACTLY the same as you.

I hate all this kind of spectacles, but what makes me wanna puke is that there’s people who actually ENJOY this.
I mean, they like watching an animal being tortured? What the hell is that?
They’re just SICK.

Have you heard of skimming through threads before adding comments? If this post hadn’t been the umpteenth one pointing out this very fact, it would have been a great post, but it’s not. Sorry.

Hi!
First of all let’s just say that I’m from Spain.
I think every “spectacle” with bulls is just an idiocy…
San Fermín is not the worst tradition here… at least the bull is not supposed to suffer (or that’s what I’ve heard)… although it has to be sooo stressed while the whole thing is happening… I think it’s cruel!
Anyhow what I hate about this is that when someone gets hurt (or dies!) everyone has to feel sad…
Of course I feel pity for them! I don’t want anyone to get hurt or die! But: being serious, what are they expecting? are they expecting the bull to come and ask to be stroken??!?

The think I hate most are “corridas de toros”… and some other “festivities”(some of them consist in putting fire in their horns and make them run!) where bulls use to die at the end… (and everyone seems to be happy about it!)

… just one last thing! I’m Spanish and I hate it… and there’s a lot of people here who share my point of view…
I think this festivities still exist (in part) because it’s a “tourist attraction”… lots of people from other countries come just to see it!!
So please… don’t have a bad idea of Spanish people! :p

Thanks for reading!

(sorry! I’m sure i’ve lots of mistakes in my explanation but I hope you all can understand my point of view!)

Or we could subject you to sticking 2 inch knives into you until you either ask us to stop or die. I think I’ll go with making you uinderstand why Spanish bullfighting is torture.

Yeah, I guess. Just like how bungee jumping or skydiving is stupid/risky as well. Stop crying for the bulls and go eat your hamburgers, hypocrites!

Just because we may not think it’s smart, they have the right to do so and I usually don’t get mad at what some random person on the internet says, but I thought this was pretty insulting and unnecessary.

Sanfermines isn’t only about bulls!!! It’s one of the biggest traditional spanish parties. If you go to Spain you have to see it… no place in the US offers such a huge fiesta!
¡Olé los toros! ¡Qué viva la fiesta y tradición española!
¡Todos a correr el encierro!

But we didn’t liberate Spain from the Nazi/Facist “tradition”. Spain was neutral (but may have collaborated with both sides [as a conduit for Allied POWs escaping, and possibly allowing the Axis to station disguised submarine depot ships in her ports]).

This would be more nearly true of Camargue (South of France) bull fights, except that there the bull is never killed deliberately.

I agree! So not only is it a total rip-off, it’s a poorly executed one at that!
