Dick head, if you are going to post something like this start a new thread with the warning that you are a prick posting pictures of a poor animal being hurled from a window.

Until the start of the 21st century, in a sleepy village in Castilla y Leon, villagers would mark the Day of San Vicente the Martyr by hurling a goat from the church belfry. They used a canvas sheet to catch the goat, so it would bounce up and down until it came to a rest, generally unharmed if not a bit dazed.
After animal rights groups got involved, goat throwing was outlawed but you can still take part of the annual celebrations when you visit Manganeses de la Polvorosa towards the end of January. The goat-y element has been preserved, with the animal now holding pride of place at the head of the procession that snakes through the town.

[woohoo]

I think there is confusion with "goat throwing" celebrated on the fourth Sunday of January.

We should celebrate diversity.

Gratuitous violence is not nice. I believe the Portuguese are far nicer.

NO in Portugal we don't have this kind of crap.

In Portugal, we have the bull fight that I don't feel very proud of but at least we don't kill the bull at the arena.

In the North, we had a ritual called cat burning.

The ritual consisted of putting a cat in a basket on the top of the post and burn the basket until it falls (the cat could survive or not).
Two years ago some idiots tried to revive that tradition and the responsible faced penalties because now it's against the law.

It's difficult to convince people/psychopaths that it's wrong when a tradition includes barbarian acts, they call a tradition.

Good to see Greece is sorted too.

I think it's inevitable that the euro will fail.

I'm not entirely sure what you can do to stop it, could you realistically centralise control of economies to Brussels? I don't mean setting rules about deficits which are never enforced I'm talking about the economies of the EU being fully controlled in one place, probably by the Germans.

I just can't see that happening and that worries me because I'm not sure what will happen if the Euro and then the EU fails.

How can the EU/Euro be fixed, realistically?

Like it or not money is power and Germany has the bigger net contribution in the EU. Euro and EU can't fail will be a disaster and I'm sure that it's what Trump wants.

I say it out loud. If they did not stick swords in the thing it would be better.

If you are talking about killing the bull at the arena, yes I agree with you 200%. Disgusting.

[Bee]

They might do better if they stopped throwing donkeys off buildings and giving the bulls a fair chance at a fight.

Spain is growing faster than Germany, which kind of destroys the myth that Euro only benefits Germany. Fiscal transfers are not necessary.

The only country in Europe that will be in need of fiscal transfers will be the UK as the economy collapses.

Strange argument, i really hope you are not a developer because your logic is poor.
