19. A certain segment of society will always want cage matches and the like

just like cockfighting and dog fighting keeps getting raided here in the desert southwest and bullfighting is popular in Mexico, although they've tried to end it in Spain without success. Some assholes don't feel alive unless they see blood and misery.

Personally, I hope my own favored blood sport without any blood takes hold, combat robots shredding each other. It's every bit as violent, even more so in some ways, but it's a contest featuring ingenuity and good engineering, not pain and terror (although I'd be terrified to getting near most of them). Maybe that's the future.

I doubt it, but I can dream.
