"Cockfighting pits two or more roosters, usually with razor-like spurs attached, against each other in a fight to the death as bettors and other enthusiasts look on. "

Let me get this straight, A cock fight is where two roosters fight? Good to know.

Every time I hear the words "Cock Fighting" I have these bizarre visions of two gay men . . . Never mind. You don't want to know.

"I typed exactly what I think of those who promote this "sport"."

Alright, you asked for it!

Do you know what an inbred is?

Do you know any inbreds?

Do you know any inbreds from Louisiana?

Are people who promote Cockfighting inbreds? Is that even the right word, or has your emotion limited your rebuttle of something you legitimately oppose, to slander a whole race of people?

Oh, I see, you now say, "those who promote this sport"

You are doing what we say in Louisiana as "a crawfish"

Crawfish backup when they go into their hole, just like you are doing.

In the story, a Louisiana congressman says...

"this is our culture"

mtbopfuyn says...

"Obviously so is inbreeding."

This implies that an entire ethnic group, of which I was born into, are inbreds. I could have been as much a "whine to the Admin" bed-wetter as you are when it comes to a chicken, and your the Freedom of your fellow American.

I prefer to embarass you with your own ignorance instead, since you are dead set on standing by your ignoramous comment.

At least I have the humility to admit here on FreeRepublic when I am wrong.

I didn't take offense at all.

I escaped Lousyana (as I call it) and came to Texas as soon as I could.

I will however, counterattack 24/7 if someone wrongfully slanders my Cajun brothers.

FreeRepublic is not unique when it comes to having a few members who need polishing I guess.

I have a novel idea, how about abandoning the "turd in the punchbowl" approach, and defend Freedom, like the Freedom of your fellow Americans?

Oh, you coon-asses can do whatever you want, but I am also free to criticize, lampoon, poke fun at, and deride things like cockfighting.

At this point in history, my guess is that those who hold out for this bloodsport in Louisiana and Oklahoma are doing it because others tell them they shouldn't be doing it. Childish, but it's a reason.

I have to go to Houston with my wife for a friend of her's B-day party.

I'm looking forward to it being over.

Have a nice weekend.

Agreed

"At this point in history, my guess is that those who hold out for this bloodsport in Louisiana and Oklahoma are doing it because others tell them they shouldn't be doing it. Childish, but it's a reason."

Actually, money has just about everything to do with it.

You're 100% correct. I can't think of many dumber sports than cockfighting. I just don't like to see others criticizing when it's not their problem. I can't think of anybody outside of South Louisiana that could be affected by this.

But like I said earlier, you can still make gumbo when it's over.
