Josh Thompson of Oklahoma State Had Top Times in 800 and 1500 at Big 12s & Didn't Run Final Today 'Cause It's Sunday

Eric Liddell

Apparently none of you are familar with Blue Laws which mandated the closing of businesses on Sunday in places like Toronto and Scotland with exceptions for pharmacies (which opened on revolving Sundays) and hospitals. If everyone obeyed the Sabbath there'd be far less unnecessary and frivolous travel and other silly/dangerous activities which in turn would sharply decrease the need for emergency services.

Love it when the ignorant try to pass as educated.

Hilarious that someone expounding on Mormon principles would call another person ignorant.

Emergency or no, those that "keep holy the Sabbath" completely rely on those that don't in order to live in a functioning modern society. They are more than happy to take advantage of the fruits of others non-emergency Sunday labors while being able to puff out their chest as some kind of principled devotee.
