I had read that he's moving when they outlaw raising fighting gamehostinghostinghostinghostings/hens in
Florida soon.

After about 5 minutes, we all got along fine. In the first 5 minutes, I was
wishing that I'd decided to take that spanish clhostinghostinghosting in high school. For these
fellows, saying that Chavez was a *once* great fighter was sacriledge!

Yeah. The way I understand it, they are soon to be or have phostinghostinghostinged a law
saying it
will be a crime to even own or raise gamehostinghostinghostinghostings. Pretty F-ing stupid if
you ask me. They are going to make criminals out of mostly law abiding
citizens. Not to mentions all the state tax revenue they will lose out
on. I have read that Roy plans to move to LA where owning, raising, and
fighting the gamehostinghostinghostinghostings is still legal. Kinda sucks for RJJ. One of the
things that I like about him is that unlike some pro athletes, Roy
manages to stay out of trouble, and take care of his kids. You never
hear of any domestic squabbles or that Roy owes some woman 10 grand for
back child support. I don't really support his hobby, but I don't
really care about someone else doing it.

Ohh...Well, I'm not sure what revenue they'll lose out on, or how
substantial it would be. Not very, IMO. Either way, I find raising and
fighting gamehostinghostinghostinghostings to be pretty deplorable, so I'm not at all offended
that it would be outlawed (whatever the language of the law actually
will be). If Jones chooses to move because of this, that's his
decision, but I wouldn't say he's being forced out of Florida. By the
way, does Louisiana have a state income tax? Florida doesn't - that's
another factor he'll be considering.

Really..I didn't know about the FL. Tax thing. That was the revenue
that I was speaking of.
I am sure RJJ would pay a boatload in state taxes each year. The
raising, owning, and fighting of gamehostinghostinghostinghostings IMO is no worse than raising
and slaughtering millions/billions of chickens each year for eating.
For the most part, the gamehostinghostinghostinghostings live a pampered life up until fight time.
Also, the way I understand it, there is absolutely no other value for
those particular breed of chicken except the gamehostinghostinghostinghosting industry. Also
the way I understand it, if one were to release two of those hostinghostinghostinghostings in
the wild, lets say a mile or two apart, they would still find each other
and fight it out to the death.

I see it no more deplorable than certain far eastern countries raising
and keeping dogs for the sole purpose of eating them. On the other
hand, dogs are just another animal in the food chain.

That's why Florida is "home" to so many athletes and celebrities. I use
"home" in quotation marks because, of course, few of them ever spend
more than a few nights a year in the state, they just say so for the tax
benefits.

I see your point, but disagree; the difference IMO is, the folks who
work in slaughterhouses are not, for the most part, doing so for the
pure pleasure of watching animals die or for the pleasure of killing
them. That nature programs some animals to kill is little justification.
