Paralyzed American and the Lebanese... Deserving of What They Got?

Pomplona, Spain-- Annual Running of the Bulls. An American was paralyzed during the festivities. He was not running with the bulls. He was participating in an activity where people run up and pull on the ears and tails of bulls. Bull gets ahold of dude, breaks a few vertebrae and now dude will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair and pissing in a bag.

I won't say he deserved it because no one deserves to spend the rest of their life immobilized... but was he asking for it? I think you kinda take that risk when you start phucking with a large, live animal; causing it pain and bothering it. I don't pull on my dog's ears 'cause I figured she'd bite me. Why would one do it to a 2,000 pound bull?

More serious. Israel bombing the Hell out of Lebanon. Despite pleading by the rest of the world, Lebanon has refused to dismantle a terrorist organization that rules the southern part of its country. It's never fair when innocent civilians die but you think Hezbollah cares who they kill? No, they're a terrorist group and by nature they thrive off civilian death because that has the most impact. I'm sorry that the people of Lebanon have to suffer because of the decisions of their government but we all see a profit or penalty from our government's actions-- or lack of action in this case.

I hope the people of Lebanon step up to their government and demand change-- rid their country of the Hezbollah terrorist element that is causing them so much grief.
