Ummmm....... ???.....
In this country, many fine, hard working people lose their fingers in meat-packing or other unfortunate industrial accidents. Tragically,these workers are maimed, though unintentionally. What in these guys' culture influences them to believe a bet resulting in self-maiming is acceptable? Are bragging rights for winning rickshaw races and a little bit of money ever a justification for the kind of self- inflicted injury like shown in the picture? NO. Apparently, the local government tolerates this nonsense. Sure makes me glad I live in the United States...
Are we this desperate for threads? I don't think it's desperate for a thread. It is a sport after all and it just shows how seriously some people in some countries take their sports. Like when the ancient Mayans used to sacrifice the opposing team leader at the end of one of their games. This is at least a more minor version of that, which is why it's posted under "Culture".
All I can say is that i whole heartedly agree with judge. Maybe we should start something in this country. If a goalie allows a goal then he should lose a tooth, what do ya think? This is ridiculas.
Come on. This is a link with a "No Comment" and an emoticon on the front page. I hate to say it, but this is half assed at best. I wish you put the effort into the FPP that you did in your last comment, in regards to Mayans, etc... but with the guidelines as they are now, it's suitable for a link dump in the lockerroom. I know you can do better than this.
Hmmm...maybe I've lost my touch? But I thought if I said anything in the FPP I'd get in trouble for editorializing, so I figured a "no comment" was the way to go. I'll work on it.
Interesting post, c.c. different, but interesting. It is a nice change from some of the posts that go on ad naseam.
Thumbs Up to this post, or should that be.....thumb up to this post?
