Does this put a damper on the World Cup win?

I would like to see a bullfight before I die. Looks like I'd better make plans soon.
Are there still latin american countries that hold bullfights? I'll have to get me a skin full of Jerez and spend the week there.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I hope you mean a skin full of jerez.

I agree with you on this. I served in the Barcelona mission, so I never got in to bullfighting. I went to one when I was serving down in Valencia (and it totally was disgusting), but even there bullfighting wasn't that popular.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostVisca Catalunya LliureComment

Most definitely. Bullfighting has been overwhelmingly unpopular in Catalunya for a long time now. Most people would say that it's because it's cruel to the bulls and because it's "Spanish." This isn't the work of a few isolated animal-rights or pro-independence activists, either. 20 years ago one of the two bull rings in Barcelona closed (and it's now been redeveloped into a shopping mall), and the other one (Glories) only hosts one event a year. It's very unpopular there.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostVisca Catalunya LliureComment

I rather enjoyed the bullfight I went to, despite the blazing hot granite benches in the arena. I found it to be beautiful.There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

The only time I would ever think about seeing a bullfight is if it was changed so the matador (or wussador is more appropriate because of when he enters the ring) is in the ring when the bull is at full strength and really pissed off. If the guy can kill the bull in that situation, then I'd be more inclined to holler olé. (wuap, did I use the correct accent?) That's why bull riding is the best event at the rodeo - there's a greater chance that the rider is going to get killed than at a bullfight.Originally posted by landpoke View Post
