<off topic> Its' ignorant to critque things you have no understanding of. As for boxing, to see it as 'violence' is to only see punches and blood, what glorifies humanity are 'acts'....an artist 'expresses', he 'glorifies' acts thru expression, We get closer to God by being 'godlike', if an artist can make a moment last forever, he/humanity is closer to God....to 'see' a Picasso....is a realization that Picasso is immortal, that 'humanity' is something 'grand'.... A fighter 'lives' moments....he asks questions of himself the 'avg.' guy doesn't, the answers to those questions bring him closer to God....to see boxing on the level you do evades these questions, a 'fighter'faces problems, never evades them, in doing so, not only is the fighter stronger physically, but stronger on a level which brings him closer to God...only taking risks will you find solutions.... I'm not surprised you endorse murder...I don't endorse the atrocious acts of this woman, but , I'm aware that you share much with this woman delighting in her demise. When a member of society is punished by murder , society can never be surprised when its members punish with murder. Its' the same act, and seperates us from the 'glories' of humanity. IMO, to revel in delight at this woman's demise, brings you closer to her and further from God..... IMO, humanity is measured in moments, moments are defined by acts....as 'humans' we 'glorify' acts thru 'expression' to bring us closer to immortality.....if you align yourself with the delight of retribution & murder, if you see boxing only as violence....you clearly demonstrate the differences between us and make me proud to be liberated from you.
