Is it wrong to pay bums to fight?

[H. Montague Worthington]

When I go to Des Moines, I like to head over to the railroad yard and pay a couple of hobos to fight each other to their deaths while I watch. I have studied the Bible carefully, and I have not read anything prohibiting it, so I assume it's perfectly fine. However, some of the bums told me there were some cops hanging around the railyard that wanted to talk to me about violation of the municipal code.



Is there something wrong with paying bums to punch and claw each other while I watch? Or has America become a hopeless nanny state?

This tradition goes back many centuries. anyone who wishes to demonstrate their martial skills for money is free to do so. It's the same thing as football, soccer, or rugby.

Perhaps Brother Montague should develop bum fighting as some kind of semi-professional extreme sport. You might chose a better venue than a railroad yard since that is trespassing on private property.

There's no need to pay them good True Christian™ money Brother Monty. They'd only waste it on Booze or go and try to rent some filthy hovel.
Just throw a bucket of pee over them while they are asleep and then hide. They blame each other and knock sh.... start fighting.
It works every time................. so I'm told

I can only modestly advise that Brother Worthington obtain the proper release forms from our joo lawyers and have them signed. You never know when the feds might become involved. There was that ruckus about fighting dogs a short time ago.

I don't know how you can take any heat for this Brother Monty; I mean who the hell else is going to hire them? Seems to me you're providing a valuable public service. Jobs, entertainment...everybody makes a few bucks. It's what America is all about. You're to be congratulated, not condemned. Who's going to question blood and bruises on some drunk named Ace or Lucky?

Better to pay them to beat the crap out of each other than rob some church for there drug and booze money

Seems fine to me.

This is America, not some Godless socialist haven like Soviet Canuckistan. We believe in Jesus and the free market, and this is capitalism at its finest!

You know what I want to see once we've got welfare and all other rewards-for-laziness abolished? I'll call it "bread and circuses":

Fill a stadium with bums. Thousands of 'em. Put cameras all over the ceiling. Toss in a few boxinggloves with barbedwire and fishhooks in 'em, a few weedwackers, maybe a chainsaw or two if it's a special occation. Oh and the floor of the stadium is covered with bits of broken glass.

Then start tossing in loaves of bread, and watch 'em fight.

Last bum standing gets to regain their citizenship, just like in Roman times.

Can't you just put a bottle of Old no.7 in the middle and let them have at it? Then you aren't paying them.

what about "THOU SHALT NOT MURDER/KILL"? you might argue you're not killing them actually. then you have to say the jews didn't kill jesus, because actually jesus was crucified by the romans...and neither the romans have killed him. because the hanging from the cross combined with the loss of blood killed him. and god made the body this way os it will die from loss of blood. wich lead us to the final conclusion that you are actually saying god killed jesus if you would argue this way. and you certainly wouldn't say that, or wouldn't you?

YES there is something wrong with it! SO REGRET YOUR SINS FOR OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE THROWN IN THE PITS OF HELL...FOR ALL ETERNITY. DO NOT ALTER THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD BY WILL!!! CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED!

So....you have not bothered to read the Bible. The Commandments are directives for the treatment of one's own close family and tribe, not some foreigners. How many people did GOD order David to Kill at Jericho? EVERY ONE OF THEM! So shut your face until you actually know what you are talking about.

So long as they don't hurt a pregnant lady, I see no MAJOR problem with it.

Pugilism rules are covered in Exodus 21.

12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

How he dies is another matter.

I'd say he must continue to fight until there's no bums left.

Last bum standing, well, he has to be put to deat.

But then the rules in Exodus 21 only deal with (then) Hebrews and now True Christians (tm).

Bums are little more than dogs anyway.
