Mike Houke (first world champ), Steve Frazier (first olympic champ), Rulon (first two time gold), Joe Warren.....just because I like Joe.

There is a difference between experience and knowledge and understanding. I know a state championship coach who never wrestled a match in his life. I know two senior world championship officials, one of whom counseled US team coaches on how to train based on interpretations to the international rules, both of whom are in the US Wrestling hall of fame, who never wrestled a match in their lives. But I'm guessing you have a better understanding and knowledge of the sport than them because you wrestled 103 in high school.

My bad. Had it in my head 60 was the number

That’s actually very cool. PS- what’s the broken ear?

Certainly I do not want to let go of accountability, I just meant hopefully the number one priority and focus of this Congress is not to go after them. Get the wheels in motion to get the country back on the right track first, then bring the accountability. The interesting thing about the results yesterday is particularly the senate. I think everyone thought democrats taking over the senate was a real possibility, I didn’t see anyone projecting a (effectively) 12 member lead. Impeachments will come, not just for Trump but others in cabinet positions, and with the combination of the Sentate only needing four Republican votes to convict, and Trumps political clout basically in the toilet the next two years, those impreachments could very possibly go through.

I can honestly say I never felt my life was controlled. I never felt my language and thoughts were controlled. I read a lot on social media about how my life and thoughts and language was controlled, but I never expeeeienced it. Public gatherings were not banned from 2020-2024. Controlled information flow has been going on for decades. Agree to disagree.

Again I just completely disagree on that angle and the whole sense of ‘punishment’ (and that 2020-2024 was 1984, I think that’s a bit overzealous). But that’s okay. Nothing wrong with disagreeing.

I guess I just have to disagree with your angle. To me, the vote is about my voice and my value. I don’t think of my voice as a strategic pawn. If I vote my voice I am not punished. Not being on the “winning team” is not a punishment. This system wasn’t set up to pick sides and vote to win, it was set up for each of us to have our own voice. Just my thoughts on it

I just hope this congress decides enough with all this nonsense and focuses on fixing things, instead of "alright let's go get em!" (**Puts RV on ignore cuz he already knows what he's going to say and not interested in the jibberish)

He’s not exposed when he’s flat on both butt cheeks, but he is exposed when he’s on his hip on his way to flat on his butt cheeks. Not by a lot, but you don’t have to have your back parallel to the mat to meet exposure.

I’m not sure what you mean here

If you believe in my vote my voice, it is not squandered at all. If your purpose of voting is to be on the winning team, then you have a point. Do people realize there are other offices elected besides president? And secondly, do people realize that those other offices have a greater impact on your day to day life than a president?

So that was your candidates results. Your result was you did your best with what you can control.

Honest question. What were your results that left you uncomfortable?

The only thing that makes it in unrealistic is us continuing to just simply be comfortable and content following the herd at chow time.

. Son predictable. You are a boring, unhappy child. When I’m posting 20 some copy and pastes from social media daily….come talk to me. Until then, move along little fella

All very fair. Appreciate it

I’m not acting like it’s a crazy suggestion, Im acting like its an illogical one. An illogical one that has already been tried and passed on. It is literally not folkstyle.

So then maybe we allow the person expressing the opinion i asked about to answer for themselves?

Maybe we should eliminate the pin as well. You shouldn't be able to end the match so easily against such a high level opponent just by achieving a dominant position that could end the match. That's basically the logic against the leg lace.

Oh I visit a few times a week, I just tend not to engage. You don't have to look too hard to understand why.

When you are competing against the best in the world.......it's not 'that easy'. If you have wrestled to that position, you have earned that position.

Just curious but how do you leave the guy who is number one in total medals, number one in total olympic medals, and tied for number one in olympic gold off?

It 'used to be' a number of things. There was the one gut, one lace at a time rule. Even that rule was modified between no two in succession not matter where in the match, and the modifier that a break in the action opens the ability to gut/lace again. There was the must break the lock and return to defensible (kind of like tilts in folkstyle) era. There was also the must hit an elbow for two...hand to hand is one. And all of that just to circled back to where we are now......just go. Must change direction on the leg lace isn't really an option. Once you have the lace locked up there's only one direction to go. You can't get the leverage and pressure in their shins to go the other direction.
