My sporting viewing tonight was some Skeleton Bob cresta run stuff. I had no idea what a "fast time" was and certainly could not tell men from women apart from when the commentator informed me. They competed separately by gender and I had no way of knowing that I should be looking down my nose at the women. The "faster, higher, stronger" is a naive refuge to hide a lack of principles. Waterloo you may well be in the majority with this unprincipled, but highly convenient position.

Once again, the authoritarian leftist thinks it's the only one with principles, because it's the only one who wishes to use the force of government to bend everyone else to its will.

I've been called many things and not too many of them polite, however "authoritarian leftist" is a new one for me ! I am not quite sure too many would go along with the concept that only the left have a prerogative on compulsion, but it suits.


Did you come up with an idea how I might learn to look at a human form, face down on a skeleton bob, with a helmet on and make sure I despise them if they are female ?

The final sentence of your first paragraph proceeds entirely from your own mind, and not anything I have written.

Your 2nd paragraph is rather odd, in that it persists in trying to use a sport in which no one makes any money, save through state funding, regardless of gender, as an argument for forcing sports sponsors to be gender neutral regardless of economic value.

Your use of the word 'despise' reflects rather poorly on the childish black & white manner in which you evidently engage with these issues.

You are dealing with the same people who want Feds in intervene in alleged "Gray Market" (as long as it doesn't benefit those beneath them). Little do they know that the class beneath them is actually in the same tax bracket

there are a handful of them here. talk about elitists

so don't worry about it

I wonder who will realize the movie.

"Not less than the men" - this somehow screams for a movie about it.

This sounds like, last man standing or, two and a half men, or kill all the white men.
Song would also be ok.
