who is to blame for 'lack of preparedness' (your words)?
-
which is precisely what i've been saying (and why i posted the cut in funding). but you went the douche route and tried to slip in a zinger.
-
uh, you're right. i don't understand it. that wasn't the point of the post, which was merely to pass along that funding was recently cut.

@Le duke they had no water! the fire hydrants had no water. idk what you're missing about this. it was a lack of planning and infrastructure. they literally passed a bill allocating billions to address it and then never acted on it. beyond that, it gets even worse with the response. there's literally an ocean of water. no pump trucks to protect the beachfront homes? incompetence all around.

this precisely why Red Viking is a waste of space on this board. every single post is 'yeah, but the other side'. absolutely nothing on topic, nothing specific and nothing of importance.

the usual crew of leftist dippies seem hellbent on making this about politics for some reason. the point is - whether it's Epstein or Hollywood or Diddy or child trafficking via the border or the recent case in England - it's covered up, ignored, or not prosecuted. so it goes well beyond 'did it occur' and 'are we aware of it'. any historical look at it is not germane. the question is why? why do WE KNOW it's happening but yet the governments. around the world do nothing about it? When it was the Catholic church there was uniform outrage. to the extent that it's still a trope and punchline. justifiably so. however now it's pervasive in the secular world, so where's that same energy?
-
you're inadvertently making my point for me. the world was universal in condemning a trend in the catholic church. why do we not see that same sentiment and energy directed at the secular world for which the problem occurs at an exponentially greater frequency? human trafficking, hollywood, epstein island, india, iran and now the UK - all have insane cases/culture of rape and pedophilia and yet nothing is done about it.

Trump is going to pardon the Jan 6 people?
Husker_Du replied to Caveira's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
there were people jailed for merely being there. little old ladies and *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*. some of the cases were definitely ridiculous. -
that's part of my problem/confusion. why does sex/sexuality rule or attention or consciousness to the degree it does? i understand that there's an innate draw to what humans find sexual. but damn, it appears that a significant portion of the world's population cannot and will not control itself. it's bizarre to me. they know it's wrong, they know the victims will be scarred for life, and they can't help themselves. it might be the one most pervasive act of selfishness on earth. it's almost like they are uncontrollable. at least they used to know they'd go to prison. but it in light of recent events, for some reason, governments around the world aren't much interested in holding them accountable. it's difficult to not be misanthropic about this.

the left is re tard ed

i love you too, Rasta.

has nothing to do with their norms. you're the one that constantly posts borderline racist *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me* (without realizing it) what i scoff at is the concept that the concerns on the res as a reason why there should be mass fraud in detroit. it's fixable. your party don't want it fixed so they make stuff up.
-
you're one second away from being banned. that's your warning. it's utterly stupid to connect the two, and utterly disgusting to insinuate. and why? because you're protecting people that enable the rape of children. anyway. that's your warning, scumbag. test it.

With all of this talk about to gap from 197-285

Lucas Davison - another one that spent multiple years at 197 before becoming a top 5 hwt. there is WAY more data that says you can effectively move from 197 to HWT and be great than there is to suggest small heavyweights struggle. again, you're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. -

i don't think you addressed your assignment, which was to show why/how Warner would have won NCAA's if the weight were higher. if you can, your next assignment is to make the case for several more people. -

ok, that's one guy. and i would disagree with it. what's the evidence of it. you're arguing that a 5x AA would have placed higher once? he actually made a final. weighed in in the morning. JR Year - Lost to perhaps the smallest 197lb champ EVER 8 hours AFTER weigh ins - Max Dean. SR Year beat Silas Allred on RT. Silas is now a 184lber. Weight class was won by Aaron Brooks who started out as a 184lber. SO Year lost to Myles Amine started as a 174 and only wrestled 197 to keep size on for the OLY. FR Year lost to Shakur Rasheed who started out as a 165lber. Weight / Size had nothing to do with him winning or losing. -

the number of college wrestlers who make Senior World teams is almost nil. not to mention 98% don't turn around and make an international weight for months. there's zero reason to suggest aligning collegiate weights with international solves anything. -
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?

i get that. but the two circuits (World / NCAA) are not the same. that talent pool is just not there. -

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.
