(...) Yeah! Just this weekend cops in my town broke up three preschool cockfighting rings, so your concerns are well justified.

(...) Why not? I mean, what makes cockfighting more violent than, say, Star Wars? note: I feel that cockfighting is bad, but I just haven't seen a good enough explanation to justify that feeling to myself...
