I didn't know that it was accepted anywhere. How do you educate someone about something like that. He called me today from work to see how I was doing but was asleep well almost by the time I got home. He talks about how pretty his chickens are and petting them and such as that but how can you do that and then sell them to people who would fight them. And how can someone who sounds so nice be okay with this type of stuff I just don't get it.Originally Posted by neetanddave
Not to sound prejudiced or to be defending him at all, but his Hispanic heritage is probably what makes him think this is acceptable, Gail. Their culture doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, and he was probably raised around it.
Hard to judge him too harshly when he is maybe only doing what he knows and was taught his whole life was acceptable.
Maybe some education on the subject would help, but that might be like trying to teach you that its okay to hit cats and dogs when you know that its not right. You were raised to not do it, so going against it is foreign to your nature.
Unfortunately, this is one of the things a bi-racial bi-cultural relationship will bring to the forefront.

Besides there is no way I would want to be around that kind of stuff or hang out with people who did that kind of cruel stuff. I would much rather see two grown men willingly beat the crap out of each other then two chickens who have no choice.
geeze some men
I agree as well. I am simply mad at myself for not being able to see through him. I tend to try and see the good in all people and I am starting to wonder if that is such a good thing. What good does it do if I don't see that bad in people too at first. And I am sorry but I can never get used to the idea of someone liking fighting two animals of any kind.Originally Posted by ProudKittieMom

Well of of the things you mentioned would not bother me including the hunting. But honestly its more than the game chickens and such as that. I am starting to get little red flags regarding him and I learned to listen to those a long time ago. But the game chickens and going to fights is a biggy. I pride myself in speaking out against such cruel acts of violence on animals as fighting them and I CANNOT even think of dating someone who does not share this particular belief. But I still want to kick myself. And I am still tired of the frogs.Originally Posted by theimp98
no reason to be mad at yourself. its the whole getting to know someone process. in other words dating sucks and at times not much fun at times. Plus side i at time can be fun, and i did make a few friends that sill have today.
lol lets see i had women dump me for, having long hair, later for having no hair. been dumped for motorycles, having tattoo's, flying airplanes,having guns, i used to hunt, etc, etc, tec, the list goes on for ever. and Yes a few time for a difference in thinking, heck i even had people who refused to go out after they found out i was gamer.
to meet the right person takes time, and lots of meeting of frogs if you will.
before the right person will shows up.
