I did read your response. And if the rest of Americans think like you the situation is more dire than I thought.
Believing the word of a clearly demented fascist that will be in charge of the world’s biggest military, the joke writes itself. And that’s after you already had 4 years of trump.
And you believed him? You believed Trump’s word? LOL
Why would you believe voting for Trump was voting against wars? It makes no sense
Those are very different things, yes. You can vote for them to take your rights. But once you have voted them away guess what, you don’t have them anymore. The Germans were also not able to vote the dictatorship away, it took a lot of a very different kind of effort to end that one
Like the time Indiana legislatively redefined pi to be exactly 3.2?
I say let’s keep it unbanned, but matadores now have to go into the ring empty fisted and no picadores are allowed so that they can’t whittle down at the Bull’s capabilities. Just a 1 on 1 match to the death with both “athletes” at peak performance
Yes, exactly. Because this has never been about “fairness” or “fighting a worthy fight” as supporters of corridas like to pretend. it’s just about slowly torturing to death an animal in front of a live audience.
Of course it’s “technically” correct, but I’m a bit tired of Spain being known for bullfighting and people not realizing that it’s actually very unpopular here.
Like also tourist shops in Barcelona still sell bullfighting related articles, even if corridas were actually legally banned for many years in Catalonia (ban reversed by the conservative constitutional court years later). It just shows that this shit is still something people think about when thinking of Spain
It’s just a phrase. For positive stuff you say “couldn’t have happened to a better/nicer person” so that’s the opposite. I can think of quite few worse people that’d deserve to be gored by a bull
Are you in Canarias? Because in Catalonia, where it was banned, the constitutional court reversed the ban as punishment for the independence movement (while leaving the canaries ban standing, clear double standard). So it’s sadly not officially banned in Catalonia any more, but of course no corridas actually happen as they’d get no money from the Generalitat.
Not really, that’s only if they survive and are pardoned, which is very rare. The normal thing is for the Bull’s bloodline to be ended
Well, the traditional thing is the opposite, his whole bloodline is ended
admired by many Spaniards
Sorry but no. Bullfighting is actually very unpopular in Spain. It’s a relic of the past that’s kept on life support by conservative politics.
Very happy to hear he has been gored by the bull. Couldn’t have happened to a worse person. And this is always the reaction of pretty much everyone I know whenever this happens
They always forget the pink triangles when talking about the Holocaust
It does make sense. Just like it would make a lot of sense for parental leave to be the same length for both parents, and mandatory to be taken. Sure, it’s the mother who has given birth and needs the time to medically recover, but that’s not the only use of the parental leave. Both parents need to bond with the baby and take care of it. And if you make it the same length and mandatory you remove any argument against hiring women “because they might get pregnant”.
Same principle, better outcome for everyone.
Catalan here, always funny to see monolinguals be shocked when China does it but turn around and see nothing wrong with Spain imposing Spanish to all its regions in the same way
But when Spain or France does the same to its own minorities nobody cares
huh, I wonder what kind of jobs fit that description. Maybe fireworks expert?
Ah, so not “jobs” in the wide sense, and also in a population more prone to anger issues
