Roy Jones Jr's father vs. Manny Pacquiao's father

[Guest]

It's not practiced in American culture.

You clearly haven't been to the deep south where it is.
Not as common as before, but people still do have ****fights.
It was a Southern tradition of some sort.

In fact, it was only recently banned.

I live in the South, now.

It's not practiced here.

Probably is somewhere down in Mississippi, or the Carolinas.

Still, it's generally looked down upon by at least 70% of the population, and personally I don't care ; I just like giving Roy **** about it whenever people mention what a nice guy he is.

Both are pretty messed up if you ask me.

I forgive him for that. It is a tradition in the South as it is in Latin America and other places.

Tradition and culture have different meanings for different people. I don't like bullfighting but I respect the cultures which have bullfights.
And the people that like it, I think they are nice people, they just engage in something I don't understand.

Same for eating dog. I lived in South Korea and had one friend who ate boshingtang, dog soup, although it was uncommon to do, he was a nice guy all the same. It's his culture.

I've studied up quite a bit about various taboos and various cultures, and I agree.

Still, given all of my intrest in the subject ; "culture" itself is almost as bad as "religion" as a means of giving one free license to act less then human at best, and barbaric at worst.

Hatton's father is too cruel, he likes oprah.

To the topic, I don't think either act was inhumane or barbaric.

Seems like they both had valid reasons for deading ole fido...

Just pick one already, you ****y conversationalist.

Roy's dad shot Roy's dog in the head because it bit his little sister on the arm.

Manny's dad ate Manny's dog just because he was hungry.

Where i am from shooting a dog because it bit a child is common... now if he did it because he wanted to try out a new gun i would consider it cruel.

Roy's old man had his farm to think about. Chickens were getting slayed by the dozen because of Jr's damn dog.
