after testimony in the .... (idk british politics well)....House of Lords i think it's called outlined several stories and statistics of young girls being raped (a plague, and nothing is done about it) it's long overdue for a conversation. not a political one (it happens on both sides), not a racial/ethnic one (every faction is guilty) but a human one. in every corner of the world this stuff goes on. and it's becoming increasingly clear governments (everywhere) cover it up or at least aren't acting on it enough. my question is - why is humanity so hell bent on sexualizing minors (i think humanity has a sex problem in general fwiw) and 2) wtf is going on with institutions around the world?

if you weigh 215 you can make 205 after 1 practice. if you weigh 225 you can put on good weight and have zero excuse at HWT. we're back to the issue of people acting like all hwts weigh 285 except the tweeners. i'd like to get the weigh in sheets for the final day of NCAA's the last decade or so for the HWT finalists. i'd put money of their average weight being around 245 ish. Snyder, Cassar, Gable, Paris, Hendrickson...all 'small' hell, Derek White had a completely uninteresting career at 197 then all of a sudden became a Top 2 guy at HWT. Zabriskie won a title and he was small as hell. he, White, Cassar....all three former 197's the weight is atrociously thin. and despite 197 being relatively deep currently, it's historically been very thin. there's no depth, guys. y'all are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. you're suggesting rule changes based off a few anecdotes. name me ONE guy....one guy...that didn't make his mark solely because he was in between 197 and HWT. -

oh, ffs, stop with the college Sophomore sociology babble. anecdotes don't make true a problem at scale. define 'elite'. where's the study that say elite wrestling prospects choose football over wrestling because weight class is an issue at anything close to a significant rate. can you name a single one? name an 'elite' high school wrestler that went DI football for the primary reason of weight class. real for whom? a handful of prospects over the last decade i can do the same thing in inverse. Recent World Teamers that Wrestled 106 57kg - Spencer Lee, Gilman 61kg - Daton Fix, Vito 65kg - Yianni, Stieber, JO 70kg - Zain 74 - Dake 79 - Dake 86 - David Taylor 92 - Zahid Valencia 97 - ? 125 - Zillmer who cares there is no 'problem'. not at scale, anyway. this is much ado about nothing. i don't here anyone crying about perennial World Teamer James Green being an obvious tweener at 65-74 in olympic years. how many weight class shifts are you going to entertain for the sake of a few outliers? should we re-wrestle NCAA's with a 170lb class b/c Dean Hamiti was struggling with 165? here's the # of DI Wrestlers by weight participated at this year... -
they just said on the news that his (estranged) wife had to limit their kids' visits with him b/c he started acting funny.

wtf are you talking about? the 106's that lose two matches from placing are vastly more skilled than half the (upperclassmen) placers from 170-285. say you don't know ball without saying it. -
that ref is a dork.

the argument that '106 is a weak weight' is absolutely stupid. they are annually the best wrestlers in the country. the most promising prospects. the list of star wrestlers (in college or international) has more guys that were 106's at one point than any other single weight. From Spencer Lee to David Taylor. those that poo-poo on it are usually guys that were 152 as freshmen and are bitter b/c they didn't place at the state tournament and lighter guys did. 106 is invaluable for the the development of this country's best. -
lol @ 'my censorship' i don't think i banned a single person. maybe 1 or 2. name the '5 significant'. i hope you're not including 'Ban Basketball' who was an utter waste of space and who was banned from every wrestling board he ever registered for. go ahead and name them. whatever the case, it's not going to change the fact that you add nothing here. i sincerely wish there were actually more level-headed posters on the left that challenged me/us and made succinct points.
-
i clearly didn't have you banned; you're posting here rn. iirc you said something that even I (who doesn't get ruffled about much) deemed out of pocket. which is saying something ffs there's a poster on here with a handle that makes fun of me. i never said a word about it. in short, you have to really try to get banned on here. there may have been one or two in the three years i've had it. but you're not intelligent. and you're not valuable here. you add nothing. your posts are vapid and when push comes to shove you post, ad nauseam, 'convicted felon'. we get it. it's noted. we need better posters from the left.
-
i have zero to do with the boards. if i gave a sh!t, you would have been banned long ago. you're one of the least valuable posters here. you, Red Viking, and Trip are a drain. vapid. makes the boards worse. you guys got any dems that can make a valid point? i'd be all for it.

buzz off, bird brain. you make an ass of yourself every time you post. how could i make 'personal attacks' when i literally have no idea who any of you are or anything about you? not to mention i just dont care enough. the worst i can be accused of is 'you're an idiot/moron/expletive' generic (opposite of personal) barbs based on posting history. and based on posting history, you contribute nothing. if you left, no one would miss a beat.
-
bottom line is it's you who are resorting to personal attacks like a rock head.

how is this any less offensive than any racist, sexist, insert-any-ist comment? attacking something you can't control. not that i gaf. but at least you could have called me fat instead. would make it less hypocritical of someone from 'the party of tolerance and unity' lotta hate in your heart. and emptiness in your skull.
