This thread finally became interesting! Can you tell us about the Louisiana purchase next, Coral?
Did you know that Buchanan was likely America’s first homosexual president? I just listened to a podcast about him.
Why are you going off topic Coral? I mean it’s fun to get nostalgic about movies where Russell Crowe was in peak fighting form, a la “Gladiator”. But who paid their hard earned money to watch “Mystery Alaska”?
Did the $7M down payment include the moose? Or did they have to be imported separately by America?Interestingly, The British had a claim to Alaska as well. On June 1, 1776 Captain Cook's men planted the British Flag at Point Possession just across Turnagain Arm which extends to where I am presently here in Anchorage. Considering that the Russians paid nothing that 7 million dollars from the U.S. was free money.
Per chance, I just happened to take these photos earlier today which chronicle the subject event:

Nothing beats watching Liam Neeson kick a bunch of assI know a guy.
How about Robert DeNiro’s fight scene in “The Irishman”? How awesome was that?Nothing beats watching Liam Neeson kick a bunch of ass

She could have done it before the event as I believe they have an alternate available. The more I think about it the more wrong I feel she was. And that is because what she did to her teammates and everyone else involved. Her actions could have denied them any chance at a medal. For some of those women, it is the only chance they will ever have to be in olympics and win the gold or any medal. It is remarkable that they were able to get the silver after what she did. If she wasn't in a position to compete, she should have let them substitute for her when they still could but when and how she did it...Just wrong
She certainly let her team down and since its a team sport, it was costly.
While a physical injury would be forgiveable, "just not being into it" is not.
It was certainly selfish. And its not ok. Hopefully she can become more mentally prepared for things in life as she works through future experiences.
This is pretty simple. Biles is selfish and weak. She let her team and country down without showing any fight or guts. You don’t sign up for the Olympics or major competitions if you don’t like pressure. She took a spot of other young gymnasts who want the chance to compete and want the pressure of the big stage. It started with the tennis player who makes millions of dollars but finds interviews “too stressful“. It’s a joke. Biles is done and so is her legacy !
PS. The liberal media will make her a hero for quitting.
She’s a weak and selfish athlete who cares more about herself than her team, teammates and country. Her legacy is someone who quit when her team needed her the most.
No doubt that covid is going around, i know a bunch of peeps who tested positive. The old fashioned advice works best, ie., if you are sick, stay home.
Even though its just a fleeting fever for most, or otherwise no big deal unless someone has diabetes or has one foot in the grave already, we should still follow current data and if data shows a wicked turn then we should be sensitive to that. Mlb, nfl and NU have declared that its really no big deal as they will all breach 6 ft spacing rules during this season just like the Deer District.
As an unvaxed educated person, i now know that the vax didnt prevent covid. People who got hoodwinked and got the vax should think twice from having to get boosters every 6 months then every 3 months then total dependency with aids like immune systems. Be very very careful.
That person had to come in cold rather than having the proper opportunity to prepare. She could have done it prior to competing in the first event and they alternate would have been in better position. Or she could have done it a day or two before. Or even further back and someone new not in Tokyo) would have been on the team. She deprived someone of getting their chance.
I had a nationally-ranked swimmer in my class. The pressure her dad put on her eventually broke her emotionally. Her coach tried to get him to back off which he refused to do. Very sad.I treated many elite level gymnasts during my career. Many of the young ladies that reach the Olympics have been developed in a corrupt, uncaring environment. The problem begins in the family and is then exaggerated by the "coaches". who discard injured gymnasts like they were spoiled milk. The Olympic gymnasts have survived in a system of intense pressure and unforgiving expectations
The stress on immature shoulders and elbows that is encouraged, if not mandated by high level programs/coaches, takes a heavy toll on these young athletes.
While that is true, it appears as if the other part of Turk's statement of requiring booster after booster may have some merit as CDC is not exploring ordering everyone to get boosters starting this fall. They are looking at data out of Israel showing that immunity starts dropping dramatically after about 8 months. Pfizer down to 55% after 8 months. (Pfizer is primarily what they gave)You seem to think the vaccine eventually replaces our immune system. Or that one is "Nature's way" and the other isn't.
LOL!
That's not how this works at all. ROTFLMAO!!!
OMG, that is so fricking ignorant! ROTFLMAO!!!
All that "education" coming home to roost. LMAO!
