RE: Lasse Viren - evangelical inspiration

Katy, did you e-mail The Quiet Hour (TQH) to set them straight?

No, but interestingly enough, wikipedia has it wrong also, stating that Viren fell after getting tangled with Frank Shorter. Of course, with 75 men on the track, it's hard to tell.

Actually it was kinda sorta Frank. If you watch it closely, it seems like Viren got too close to the guy in front of him, I thought it was Puttemance, then tripped just as Shorter got around Viren to pass him; then you can sort of see him (Frank) putting his hand out to touch Viren's waist. Someone actually said Shorter pushed him, which I think it NOT the case.

I thought it was more like 12 men on the track, certainly not 75. They used to have tons until 1968 Mexico City Olympics then they introduced heats in 1972...

blah, blah blah,

Amazing how easily folks can be propagandized toward acceptable bigotries. Your Knee jerk insult tells me that you would have been a big success in Alabama in 1840 or Soweto in the 1950's.

I don't know how to type it any more slowly. I was being sarcastic, too.

Your writing abilities tell me that you must be a big hit on the cell block. Amazing how much anal shitheads read-into flip comments made to off-topic threads on internet message boards.

Fair enough. So we're all on board now -- it's a weird article. The factual errors aren't even close to being right.

Cell block, anal shitheads? Do you understand that you said absolutely nothing material in either of your posts?

I have asked this question on this board more than once, "Is this strategy commonly taught in high schools and colleges, that sophomoric insults having nothing to do with the issue can win the point? You made a simple statement, an insult that came from bigotry or ignorance or maybe poor writing skills that did not reflect your flippancy. You could have been in hurry or had a bad day.

But, your second burst of brilliance tells me that the first post was most likely from the heart. Had you been trying to be fippant the tone of the second post would have told me that.

Big FAT DUH!!!!!!

Deal with it.

Better a Bible thumper than a porno thumper!IMHO
