I know all about your new man, your new, older, old man and I heard that he's married;
oh, you be careful Amanda.
Yeah, I found a new friend too, and yeah she's pretty and she's small,
but god damn it, Amanda; oh, god damn it all.

... along with Bull Fighting, it has no place in modern society.

i'm in two minds, I ran it back in 1998 and it was awesome, so I would to see it stay so others can experience it, but from an animal lovers point of view, it should probably go for the same reason caerus mentioned.

I am all for upholding traditions, but in this case i am erring on the side of it being dated. Particularly taking that pic above into consideration. I can imagine it must be a rush etc etc  - but i am sure there are other things that you can get your rocks off to.

They generally do. Hundered injured every year. Only 15 fatalities though: http://en.wikipedia....ng_of_the_Bulls
