An expression with a hidden meaning, normally stated when people don't really want to say what they mean. You were trying to say I was a hypocrite for showing an image of violence, when it was in fact a photograph taken of Daniel Craig enjoying some down time between takes on set while filming a James Bond film. Firing a prop weapon with blanks, so that didn't work.
My first bullfight? What are you talking about? I would never go to a bullfight (that *would* make me a hypocrite), but you don't need to go to a bullfight to see the cruelty involved, they are well documented, this post a point in question.
Nor have I been to a live fox hunt, or cock fighting, or badger baiting etc for the same obvious reasons.

Thats an opinion....so that didn't work.

Anyway if you have not been to a bullfight then I suggest you go. The bullfight unlike the other examples you quotes is an art form steeped in the culture of Spain. The bullfights are reviewed in the arts pages of the press..not in the sports.
I totally respect your right to have a view but IMO you debase your argument as its a little emotive and without experience and foundation which i do get.
However, It would be like saying that Shakespeare was a rubbish playwright having never seen or read the plays but heard about the stories he is telling.
The problem is that on the surface people just see/read/hear about the bits they want to without understanding or even trying to understand what its all about. If you don't want to see a bullfight then at the very least I suggest you read Hemingway's book...Death in the afternoon. Its not the most exciting read ever but might give you a little more insight into the art form.
