Is ANYONE surprised a liberal diminished hard work?
This is a man who won a Nobel Prize without doing anything.
As someone who listens to Rush Limbaugh regularly, I totally disagree with you buddy. Go read Sports GEne or at least my review of it.
Pappas has incredible talent. Yes, now she works incredibly hard. But I had kids on the Cornell team that ran 100 + weeks that sucked by D1 standards.
Her body was made to run. Adele was made to sing. Einstein made to do physics. That doesn't diminish hard work. But everyone on letsrun is generally someone who has a good body for it and responds well to training.
I was once dating a liberal girl who started running. She was trainng for some local nike women's 5k. She saw they had a few hundred in gift certifcates if you won. She said, "Do you think I could win that if trained really hard for a few years?"
I was like, "you could train your whole life and would never get close to winning." She got offended. But I'd run with her a few times. She was 5'11 and just not made to run fast.
The liberal/conservative auto reactions are stupid. Talent doesn't always win (liberals) - hard work (conservative idea) doesn't always win. Smart people realize this.
I always say there is a need for both libs and dems as some people need a helping hand to realize their potential and some need a kick in the butt.
