If you mean competing in reality shows for a prize, then ABSOLUETLY NOT! Looking at recent sites and ratings, shows like SURVIVOR, The Amazing Race, and American Idol have dominated. This shows that catfighting draws people in. I love SURVIVOR, because it is a good show and you even forget the money and you just want someone to win. Go to www.tv.com and click reality, plenty of people do not want these shows to be banned.

There must have been a lot of requests for it.\n\nSoooo.....following along the Yahoo Train-O-Thought.....if we have bullfighting, shouldn't we have cockfighting as well?\n\nAnd maybe some gladiatorial combat, too?\n\nYou know, i could go for some good old throwing rocks at hornets' nests right now. Anyone with me? You listening, Yahoo?

Taking this at face value i.e. as purely hypothetical, I think a little imagination is required. Watching two single animals fight could end up being quite dull a lot of the time. Why not spice it up a bit?\n\nFor instance, watching two Grizzlies paw each other about? Meh. How about one Grizzly vs six wolves? Or maybe a single lion taking on eleven wolverines? Or go a step further: Tiger vs antelope - but dress the Antelope up in a nail studded waistcoat, pre fight. That should be interesting.\n\nBut if you really, really have to have a one on one of the same species then my vote would have to go to humble domestic cat. My cat's psychotic for a start and I'd back him in a fight to the death with pretty much anything, myself (sadly) included. I am under no allusions that as much as he likes the odd tickle under the chin, if he were big enough then he would eat me. Fact!\n\nI think I need to get out more :o)

Yes, donations are legal- they are not demanding a fee- Most of those sites provide us with great free tools, aka Spy Bot search and destroy, is free, but, does have a place to donat money for their time and energy.

Boxing is not self-defense, it is intentional.  Cultures where hitting is allowed or encouraged, among girls or boys, is not a culture I'd like to live in or emulate.\n\nThere is nothing in my defintion of man or art that boxing exhibits.  Furthermore there is nothing professional about boxing.  It is the epitome of being inhumane.\n\nEven if someone starts out as slow or as not the sharpest tool in the shed, is not reason to contribute to possible further detriment. \n\nAlthough many occupations are dangerous, and yes, many occupations have "occupational hazards" there are no worthy reasons to fight for supposed sport.\n\nBoxing should not be an occupation and is NOT the only way out of crime and poverty for a segment of our population. If it "serves a useful capitalist purpose, being a major entertainment, betting venue, and source of tax revenue," all the while to whose detriment?  All who participate and observe.\n\nBanning boxing is a logical step in the right direction: getting rid of legalized brutality.\n\nThere is nothing sweet or scientific about boxing, and if you study the injuries inflicted you's understand why.  A figure skater doesn't seek to injure in order to score points (minus maybe Tonya Harding & et al). \n\nI'm sincerely sorry I could not disagree with you more Sleddog.  I'd enjoy hearing more from you.

Well, lets see.....   Money wagered at bookies is a little difficult for Uncle Sam to tax.  \n30 years ago, "running" numbers was rampant, but, illegal.  It was illegal because Uncle Sam couldn't get his cut.\nThen Lotteries, Bingo Cards, Pickle Cards, and Powerball came along, and all of a sudden that nasty, evil, corrupt method of separating people from their money became quite acceptable to Uncle Sam, and of course, the tax dollars gleaned from it by the government may have played a "small" role in helping it gain public acceptance.  \nPlease remember:  It's all about money, money, money.  Legal or illegal, its always about money.  I always wondered, if "money is the root of all evil.  Then why are churches always begging for it?".

No, because there's laws against a criminal earning money from their crimes.  If one writes a book and sells it, the money goes to the vitims of his crimes, and the rest to victims advocacy groups.

NO, they should not be banned. \n\nThat is just plain absurd.

i don't think that they should, only because it is part of their religion... how would you feel if you did something every once in awhile because it was tradition (like christmas or your birthday) and then all of a sudden it was banned? you would still want to do it right? i don't think that they would have to stop

If by demand you mean boycott and not buy any pay-per-views, I'm not sure if I can do it, but I wouldn't mind helping out to generate a little more interest for it. More even regulation throughout the states about judges, about match-making, about testing fighters before and after bouts - it would all make boxing safer and more respectable. Now if only we had a spokesperson more likeable than Teddy Atlas....

Let me guess, you want to smuggle millions of dollars out of the country you got from some defunct dictator?  Go to hell.  Its bad enough that my inbox is cluttered with scam garbage, and even worse that some people actually fall for it, but please keep it off here.

Greetings from inside the Yahoo Brain in New York City!\nHope you're catching the live webcast at: http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !\n\nWhy is robbing a bank illegal?  It helps you get money which you need, right?  So that should be fine, then.\n\n--J.

Absolutely!  While we're at it, lets ban all forms of debate.  That free speech can be a dangerous thing so we better ban that too.  I know a few dangerous books that I would like to ban and I'm sure you'll agree that it would be for the good of us all.  Oh there's so much evil in the world I don't know where to start.
