You have your opinion....I have mine!
He never cited specific acts by PETA, that's not an opinion, that's a fact. Dang - you are really fired up, strange.
BTW - you know who would agree with your silly statement about protecting the majority - Jim Crow, for sure.
I stand corrected.....thanks for pointing that out.
Going back and reading it again you're right.
That's something that never happens at home. I'm never right, so it's nice to hear those words!:-)
By the way, I like your avatar. Did you find it, or is it your dog?
I am just tired of the in your face types of people that push their particular way of life on the rest of us....when the majority of us don't agree! That is why we have this system of "Majority Rules" not minority......
You might want to check that 'majority rules' bunk at the door. I can point out numerous things that the majority was in favor of that were at the least wrong and at the worst heinous.

I think Paul must be tapering as well. You people are grumpy!:thhbbb:

DAVE ZIRIN, edgeofsports@gmail.com, http://www.edgeofsports.com
Sportswriter Zirin's latest book is "Welcome to the Terrordome: The Pain, Politics and Promise of Sports." He just wrote the piece "China's Olympic Trials," which states: "This is the Olympics the West wanted: games where the grandest prize is not a gold medal but a glittering entree to China's seemingly endless army of potential consumers. This is the reason that George W. Bush will attend the opening ceremonies, the first U.S. President to do so on foreign soil, and that in March, mere days before the crackdown in Tibet, Condoleezza Rice, laughably, took China off the State Department's list of nations that abuse human rights."
I am with Amanda. I have supported wildlife in the past. We used to live in Fort Saint James BC it is in Northern BC. They have a Bar called the ZOO. You have never seen wildlife like the wildlife you see there. The restaurant has a great breakfast it is amazing how well they feed those animals the day after.
Amanda does seem to be on a campaign to help various creatures. Check this out -

ROBERT LIPSYTE, rolipsyte@aol.com, http://robertlipsyte.com
"Jock Culture" correspondent for Tomdispatch.com, Lipsyte is author of several books on sports, most recently "Yellow Flag," a novel about stock car racing. He said today: "The focus has unfairly been upon China rather than the true Evil Empire, the Olympic Nation-State, which from the beginning (the all-male, naked Greek games) has been political and commercial, and since the 1896 Revival has traded in on the worst kind of nationalism, from fascism to Communism to Global corporatism, to keep its monopoly alive. But because it is a great festival of youth and beauty, I am going to watch every minute as a soft-porn show of great bodies at peak performance."
(discuss amongst yourselves, i've got some work to do...but i'll check in later)
Not supposed to be about politics.....leave that garbage at home!!!
The Olympics are about sport.......that is why we don't Boycott them anymore....leave your personal and political BS at home....and just compete.....
What didn't the current USA terrorist, Jimmy Carter, understand about this then?:dunno:
Just so you know the time at the Olympics and the weather I thought this would take your minds of Amanda. It looks like rain in the afternoon it could dampen spirits. One good day out of the next 7 days it looks like rain and storms for 6 days out of seven.

I can't figure out why there is a such a chorus of applause for what she is doing. Taking off your clothes for money is not new. Companies hiring attractive people to pump their product or cause is not new. Nothing about what she is doing is either provocative, groundbreaking or empowering.
The whole thing is a bit of a yawner for me. Amanda clearly likes to be front and center. So I think we should continue to expect things like this from her.
The slightly unusual part about this is that very few elite female athletes seem to do things like this. There are quite a few attractive tennis players - I don't remember any of them in Playboy. Maybe they make more money. Most women softball players are a bit sturdy. So they don't get asked to do this. Same with women's basketball players. Women's golf is a bit uptight and country club-ish. So maybe there isn't much room for "provocative" behavior.
I just hope Amanda swims fast enough to medal.
