Scott Elkinswith some common sense who are not willing to attack me b/c of what I do. Hell, I may be a cockfighter, but at least I am not an attorney!
Anyway, while wading through all this, I noticed a bloody picture Jeff was happy to point out. I am glad he did, as this proves soundly what I am saying! Thanks Jeff! If you will look at the roosters' legs carefully in that picture, you will notice that the rooster do NOT have the steel spurs on their legs used in cockfighting. These are two roosters who had fought naturally. Let me agree with everyone that this IS a bloody sight! So, a lot of you would rather see the chickens left to do this to one another naturally and be this bloody than to have a much more humane fight with steel spurs on - right? To be honest, I have NEVER seen two roosters with as much blood on them in an organized cockfight than the picture Jeff displayed of the two fighting naturally.
As to the steroid issue. Yes, some people give their chickens steroids. Jeff claims they do not want to fight until they are given steroids and made to fight. This is more BS from someone, along with Dan B., who are making less sense with each statement they make. So, Barry Bonds would not want to play Baseball unless steroids made him want to? So, Football players, Boxers, Wreslters, Ultimate Fighters, etc. would not want to beat each other more bloody than any rooster from a fight b/c steroids make them want to do this? Huh, Jeff? If you are so against steroids, you should probably start in the sports they are most prevalent - Baseball and Wrestling - NOT cockfighting. Of course, Jeff will not listen. He will simply throw something ludicrous in my face and dodge the question, like a lot of attorneys would (again, I know this as I have several friends who are attorneys - beat them in a game of pool and they have 5000+ excuses why they really won).
I have actually, except for Barry's statement (I would expect him to defend anyone saying anything negative against Leon however), seen that more and more people in this thread seem to have seen through Jeff and Dan B.'s BS. That is good, as all of you on Net 54 are not brainwashed by Leon and his "clique" yet. It is also funny people like to attack me for attacking Leon - and I didn't attack Leon, but was proving a point after being attacked by this Net 54 "clique".
Jay is also correct - a lot of the names of individuals here I have not seen in the past on the old boards. You people have NO idea of the origins of Net 54 and how Leon took it over with $$$ in his eyes! This use to be the best board in the world for talking vintage cards. Now, it is simply nothing more than a clique of people following Leon who are willing to attack anyone who sees the Hobby, Mastro, Leon, or even the world differently than they do. You people need to learn that America is a melting pot, whether you like it or not. There are people with different skin colors, backgrounds, heritages, etc. than you - YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, AND THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS WRONG B/C YOU DON'T AGREE WITH HOW THEY LOOK, WHAT THEY DO, THEIR BACKGROUNDS, ETC.!
