Cage Fighting
DaveRam:
Well after last night and what i heard about cage fighting , i think the humble pub might be doomed if this is how they are druming up business , some fights take place in pub cellors and other's are in secreat locations according to my m8 , the cage fight he went to was a blood bath .
Think i'm going to take up Dominoes and get a flat cap and Whippet .

Those fights can be pretty tough to watch. I have to look away sometimes :-(

Oh, I think society has always had it's dark under side. Gladiators, dog fights, progressive dinners....

There's a lot of this on US cable, too, but of the staged yell-and-scream in a football arena variety. It's dire and silly. But the sad fact is you've always been able to make money by throwing two or more animals/birds/fish/humans into a ring and charging money to see them fight. One of the nastier human impulses, I suppose. :-/

What about the Roman Empire then, where gladiator fight was the entertainment and burning people on a bonfire supplied streetlight? Where they crucified people including Jesus? What about the middle ages and the crusade? What about Stalin, Hitler, the holocaust of jews/indians/armenians? The civil war in Rwanda? Society has been sick for a while... ??) ??) ??) ??)
About the cage fight - I've heard about it, and it must be tough as I imagine.
