I can remember a skier winning one or two of those competitions. How can an activity where gravity does most of the work, like the engine in a racing car, be considered a sport?

Civil disobedience in the quest to makes things better has a long and storied history in this country. Some historians even contend the writing of the Declaration of Independence was illegal, an act of treason against the British Crown. And I find it puzzling you still continue to use the "a topic he knows nothing about". I do know something about it sir, you yourself have provided critical information on this very forum over the years. I also have friends and relatives who are government school employees, and have discussed the issues with them multiple times. But you continue to believe in your altruism, that your way is the only pure way to educate children. After all, it supports the status quo and helps keep the ISTA/NEA in business, right?

Good for you.

Who would what in a fight?

Yes, I am evil. And just as much of a hypocrite as you, Irishman.

Sorry you hate those who enjoy activities that you don't. You are the one with the preconceived notion that everyone who enjoys playing video games has "spent years in their mother's basement". I guess you also enjoy being blind to the truth. Also tell me, is a professional arm wrestler an athlete?

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-education/2018/06/08/charter-enrollment-policies-changed-after-report-finds-illegal-practices/645419002/ A good result. No institution is perfect, especially relatively new charter schools. And I'm absolutely positive that a traditional government school has never, ever, ever done anything remotely considered illegal. Ever. They are as pure and pristine as the winter snow.

Hmm, you appear to be the one with their mind in the sexual gutter sir, not I. The number sixty nine is a legitimate number used on many athletic uniforms, although I have heard it is banned in the NBA.

Since you seem to be fixated on your latest graphic find (maybe you resemble the Joker IRL, I don't know), what exactly is "dangerous" about my opinion concerning school choice?

That could be. I still prefer a classic like Techno Bowl over Madden though.

We are Legion. As opposed to your opinion, which must always be worthwhile? You try not being an athlete and drive a NASCAR car or Indy car in a competitive 400-500 mile race. Tell me how it goes. So to you an 'athletic activity' must include running, jumping, throwing, or catching. Correct? Sound like sour grapes that you suck at video games. Just admit it. I've played video games for 30+ years now and I have a successful career, a loving family, great friends, etc. Does that mean I still have to justify that behavior to you?

I don't think so, but that is what TD's quote seems to imply.

Yep. If it helps to move towards the ultimate goal. I have never said I supported every initiative the ACLU the supports, nor am I a member of the institution. Do you support every initiative the ISTA or NEA supports? Oh wait...................

So without football every player on Crawford County's roster would be "running the streets" or getting addicted to some drugs? Really? And now that the football season is over is that what they are all doing anyway? They play high school football on Sundays?

*yawn*

Again, thank you Adolph.

You didn't answer the questions.

The late Mr. Debs was an avowed and somewhat famous socialist during the late 19th- early 20th century. He was from Terre Haute, Indiana. His home is a national landmark on the campus of Indiana State University. Your point? Are you gunning to be as famous of a socialist as Mr. Debs was? Perhaps have your home enshrined on the campus of UNLV some day?

Is it? You tell me, you are the government educational professional, are you not?

And would that be me, Gonzo? Why don't you just come out and say it, instead of being so limp-wristed about it? Thank you for catching that, Adolph. I meant to type "driven by politics". Do you agree or disagree that our current government education system is primarily driven by the whims of those currently in political power? *yawn* https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/principle Educate yourself. Jackson Central or Walnut Central sure didn't seem to.

Arizona’s Success with Charter Schools Is a Model Other States Would Be Wise to Follow: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/11/arizona-charter-schools-success-model-other-states/

So 96-0 (never forget!) is "wholesome" amateur athletics? A 20+ game losing streak with no end in sight is "wholesome" amateur athletics?

And who would that be, gonzo?

We get it, your personal definition of "'athletic activity" and by extension "athlete" is purposefully narrow. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1638728-5-ways-to-win-a-debate-with-anyone-who-says-nascar-drivers-arent-athletes#slide1

I can believe this meme bothering those individual who believe the U.S. Federal Government is essentially one big charity, handing our "free this and free that" to everyone that asks.
