You don't need to assume he's doping to account for his shape. He's skilled enough to put people in stressful situations and force big reactions really early in matches, this is why they wear down. His skills obviously arent the sexiest but he's breaking elite guys position really early in matches, thats skill not some sort of physical advantage. You'd make a better case with for PED use with one of the many Doug Schwab matches where he looks like he can't uncross his feet in the first period and claws his way back when the other guy just move anymore, yet somehow no one on earth thinks he was on PEDs (cause he obviously wasn't to be clear).

I think we went through this on the first page, my take was something like, why do we take williams getting motivated for the first time ever, getting in shape for the first time ever and staying out of trouble for the first time in years as something reasonable to assume but we never assume Andrew Sparks is gonna make a jump. I said it better before.... Anyway hyping up wiliams now isn't doing him any favors, its just gonna make the "what a bum" remarks louder later, not that I mind people making optimistic predictions for him, I just feel like I need to salt them personally i guess.

Abortion is........

yeah, i guess I'd sum it by saying there are books that long that justify their length, I think they are all written by genius'. Its not an insult to say I don't consider Rand a genius.

its not a terrible notion, but atlas shurgged is like 1200 pages, so it that was the point of the repetition Rand was really thorough. For an idea what the book is like, I believe the book ends (again i did not finish it) on john galt giving a speech that goes on for like 60 pages.....after some research it is around 35,000 words....its laborious.

the script reads "Rash scribbles notes intently"

it ain't the worst de-railed thread.

I summarize my contrition by saying that despite my contact with her work I can't give a nuanced summary of objectivism, so i probably shouldn't risk coming off as dismissive. I will say I never confused it with some sort of endorsement of immoral individualism, exploitative capitalism, elitism...etc. And yes i don't consider myself a fan of intermingling fiction and lecture, not while we've had the benefit of aforementioned genius' who seem to be able to do both at once.

if anthem is the one where the protagonist discovers the word "I" I've read it. If I'm correct please take my word that i didn't google it or something because its the other work I alluded to, the one i didn't finish was atlas shurgged.

i have it on good authority that cael thinks cutting weight is not fun and bumps everyone up two weights.

at the risk of seeming pretentious, any dostoyevsky or solzenhitsyn, is very long and worth the runtime. Rand (based on two books, one of which i didn't finish) is not in the same league. The difference is that she only has one idea, and the others i mentioned are trying to explain the complexity of life.

I would not trust anyone else's interpretation because its bastardized from right and left. I agree increasingly with the book in theme as time goes on, but it can't be read because its hyper hyper hyper repetitive, has really flat characters (especially john galt), and its antagonists are ridiculous strawmen.

speaking of Atlas Shrugged, has anyone else ever read 800 pages of a book before figuring it was terrible.

well its just people on the street, I wouldn't rush to be involved, now particularly because I thought I could name all 3 and Kasak never hit my mind.

anyone else think they can name all three?

cael might be on there...the one on the right isn't particularly popular either.

the 12 year old on the left looks familiar....starting to doubt Cinnabon's claim he's the next kyle dake....

your schtick is so lame. Post all day, do nothing but try to insult people, crowbar in lame anecdotes about athletes parents, vapid analysis. Its not that you're too good for X, you're not good enough.

wow its almost like you watched the match and changed your tune based on...having watched it.

is there a reason none of the coaches are out there...shame

at this point its a crime if woods pulls it out

did you feel as confident about that as your statement bassett would snap woods into his legs a bunch?

wow great analysis

Yeah, I think my/our point was that I don't see how he's gonna put together enough points to win.

stick to the gifs your analysis ain't that great.
