The communication attempt sure did.

This is a big problem in America now, we really suck at communications, and it tends to be both the speakers and the listeners fault.
 
I love the snowboard cross and half pipe events. Cloe Kim and Shawn White - USA!

So Trump is failing to make America great again...
Don't say that! You'll give poor Hawk a heart attack. Remember - we're going get tired of all the winning!

We are increasingly not good at anything....I am trying to show people that the inability to produce anymore is everywhere...as America fails everything fails....nearly.
If being here sucks so much for you LEAVE. Don't let the door hit ya where the Lord split ya!

I knew Jan 2017 that winning was not going to happen, I first got the idea mid Dec 2016 when there was nowhere any mention of leagues of lawyers headed to Washington to support the Rebellion like FDR had, and I said so here at DP.

I am getting the idea that people who spend a lot of time here, some people, dont pay attention at all to goings on around here...

Here is me saying it AUG 16

Dude, you're the one spewing word salad. The rest of us are communicating just fine. Sometimes when you think everyone else has the problem the problem is YOU!

Wisdom that you cant comprehend could seem like word salad to you, but that is not my problem, it is you who takes the hit.

Those imparting true wisdom know how to frame their thoughts to be meaningful to their audience.

THose with true wisdom place their egos second.

And those who are willfully ignorant will continue grasp nothing regardless of how much work I put in.

If one was serious would be parsing sentences so that they could be understood.

Thanks for proving my point. It's all about you...not the "wisdom" nor it's import. If it was, you would accommodate those it would impact.
 

LOL....oh well. I kind of like curling too. :lol:

I am willing to parse and explain sentences and paragraphs to them who dont understand them.

To date no request has been made.

what is interesting in the summer games you have a hard time saying which sport requires the best athletes and which sports not so much. The shooting sports (other than archery) and perhaps the equestrian events are probably good choices but there is an even gradient in the summer games. you have sports that require extreme quickness and coordination like the table tennis, tennis, boxing, badminton fencing etc--you have sports that require tremendous stamina-the steeplechase, wrestlers, again tennis players, rowers, etc. its really hard to grade the athletes

in the winter olympics just about every event-save one requires technique executed under severe time pressure, quickness, endurance etc. Cross country skiing, and biathlon and some of the speed skating events require huge amounts of stamina. Technique in skating ski jumping the other sliding events is top flight. every winter sport requires obvious displays of top tier athleticism being it snow board, skiing skating and sliding

then you have curling
 

So when does Billiards become an Olympic sport? LOL!

Here is one of my main issues. I don't know if you have ever seen world class squash but it requires tremendous endurance, quickness and strategy. Its played in all of the world with the top players coming from Egypt, Canada, Australia, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, France, England -only parts of South America and the old Eastern Bloc are "weak"

yet its not in the olympics but stuff like trampoline and other sports that have very little activity world wide are being added
 

I don't follow the Olympic sports very closely. However eliminating wrestling seemed really odd.
 
Along with darts, shuffleboard, pinball and Mrs. Packman. Bowling might make it first.

Shuffleboard is already a sport, it called curling. Don't be dissing us bowlers. Takes quite a bit of skill to hit your mark after 5 beers!

Wrestling has not been eliminated, thanks to our very active wrestling community ...

yeah ==and while Beach Volleyball is popular its a "duplication of skills" and a sport for has been real volleyball players. at least the scoring is objective. I oppose sports that are based on judges determining who wins for the most part

Hmm... perhaps you are onto something - we could add various "bar sports" to the Olympics and require a minimum BAC to make it realistic.

if you have to pick the most "legitimate" olympic sports I'd go like this

Athletics (track and field)
Wrestling
swimming
boxing
archery

I remember hearing it was eliminated from the Olympics. I'm glad its not.

Its not like the athletes will be driving anywhere. The Russian ones are already juiced. Perfect for that Russian Curler.
