Default Are they running with the bulls or on the Banks in Spain ????

I'll get a link in a bit I know most of you know how to google. Better yet tell me there's nothing to worry about, heck I got no money anyway, me no worry. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/04/bu..._r=1&ref=spain

I'll say this for yubba threads; I click into Every. Single. One.


Suppose this is the subject at hand?

Spain's public TV has broadcast a live bullfight for the first time in six years after conservative PM Mariano Rajoy lifted a ban on the tradition.

Forget running with bulls.

It's the tomato fights I'm interested

Personally I'm tired of them so he just earned first name on my ignore list. And that after I swore I wouldn't use the list. Good day Yubba, you bore me.

Just spreading the love I am, bet alot of people didn't know about this because no one wants to report the news, you can do what ever you want to do with it. Have a nice day with your empty chair and your empty wallet.

You, yubba, by your own admission, are coming here just to pick fights and stir the pot. It is getting old and people are taking notice. Consider yourself warned.

You said no one wants to report this story, but yet you link to the New York Times which is reporting the story.

And yet, no one has mentioned the irony of Yubba talking about a load of bull?


I was unaware that Rajoy had brought back bull fighting, not that I'm terribly surprised, bread and circuses and all that. Barbaric tradition though. Thank God Catalonia saw sense and banned it, hopefully when Rajoy gets the boot the next guy will see sense and axe it again. To be honest though I think Spain has bigger problems than bull fighting to worry about.

That's surprisingly common. I see it all the time on other forums as well: someone comes thumping chest and posts "breaking news" that "no one knew about" and wonder "why the mainstream media is not reporting this", believing in a huge conspiracy of the world wide government trying to silence "the truth".

Then they link to some mainstream media, don't bother to find out that it has also been reported by other mainstream medias and won't stop for a second to consider that if it wasn't reported by the mainstream media, they wouldn't know about it either. I mean, how many of them I should believe to be involved in the highest level of European politics and therefore have such insider info as they claim?

Wait...did I just try making sense in a yubba-thread?

Thats a real challenge.

but that bull had a life on a patch of land where it could roam free and is taken well care off till they are about 4 - 6 years old.

Not a fan of bullfigthing myself and can't even bear to watch the fight but how about that steak on your plate?
That bull had no life it's beeing put in a box where it can't move and is fast fed to grown rapidly in size then shipped on a truck in less then a year to be put down.

Anyway...what has that to do with the subject of this thread...but wait...this thread has no purpose to begin with.

It has a purpose and a message.
The Spanish people with money are moving to Britain because the British government is planning to tax people who have more money.
See when you tie two bits of yubberish together they make double yubba do da.

Kind of how Fox news will pull the underdog card one minute and say that the "mainstream media" is all "liberal biased" and then the next minute they're touting how they're the largest and most watched cable news network. It's like "doesn't that kind of, um, make you the mainstream media....?"
