    RETIREDFAN1 reacted to oldschool2 in 12 yr prediction about Warren Warrior Basketball   
    Now this is what I hate about small schools.  And the reason it would be a nightmare to coach at a small school.  Some parent or group of parents think their kids are the next phenoms because they dominate some little dribbler competition...or whatever they do.  Now whoever gets to coach that group will never live up the expectations of the community.  So they'll be shunned...or replaced.  When in reality..
     
    Lets say you make a 5 year prediction.  Do know how much happens in that short amount of time?  They may stop improving...other teams may improve at a faster rate...other teams may get moveins...they may lose kids..plus the most important..
     
    When they get to high school, they are not competing against kids their own grade level.  When there is a good group of 5th graders...it's easy to make other 5th graders look bad.  But in high school...they're playing against 4 different grades of kids.  
     
    This post is absolutely stupid.

    1. We are told not to make hypocritical judgements.....we are also told to judge what is evil and immoral and avoid it.....

    Its pretty stupid to take a win away from the better team because of uniforms. Did the colors on these uniforms make them better or give them somw sort of unfair advantage?
    However, if there's a rule there the coach should have followed it.

    RETIREDFAN1 got a reaction from smitty in Repeal the 17th Amendment   
    This nation will not be able to return to the status of a true federal republic as our Founders intended, until the 17th Amendment is repealed and the selection of Senators is returned to the State Legislatures. The Founders intended for the Senate to be the body of Congress that represented the states. With the 17th Amendment, the Senate is no different from the House. What is needed is an Article V convention with the express purpose of repealing the 17th amendment and returning the selection of Senators back to the original intent of the Founders

    I was at the meet and there are several answers to your question.  First off many kids don't run track because they "don't want to".  Back in the day you ran track if you were in athletics.  This was a small school meet and 3 of the schools still have basketball teams in the playoffs so they didn't have most of their faster athletes at the meet. My son ran the mile at around 9pm.  It was about 40 degrees with about a 15 mile an hour wind.  Several schools had left by then.  The mile relay was after the mile.  So the results were skewed to say the least.  Overall times in track now are much faster than they were in 1976.  They set new records each year at the State Track Meet.

    RETIREDFAN1 reacted to tvc184 in Why Not Expand Medicare To All Age Ranges?   
    The same way they pay for it now..... they don't. That is why most doctors do not and will not accept Medicare. They do a procedure that costs the average person and insurance company $200 but the federal government sends them $35 and says take it or leave it.
     
    It is that kind of short changing that will end medicine as we know it. It is like a person going to Saltgrass restaurant and running up a $150 bill but only paying $25 at the register and expecting them to stay open at the same quality of service. That is also why medicine in many cases charges such high fees for those of us that actually have to pay for services rendered. It is to pay for those that will not pay which includes the federal government.

    If medicare and SS went away tomorrow I would be a happy camper.

    I would give up all the years I have paid in if I could stop paying right now.

    I can provide my own social security and my own medical care...no fed gov needed.

    I am sure that is a concept you won't understand.

    OK. .. here goes. .. from a non IT minded perspective.

    I've read several things. .. up to and including the who is in favor and why. .. and who is against and why. ...

    my early disclaimer is. .. there is a ton on info. .. not necessarily written in English. ... or easily understood by the non IT people. ...

    in short. ... it seems like a socialist approach. ... insures "fairness".... as providers are currently able to charge higher or lower for various speeds. .... ... some claim only the rich will have the best available whereas others have slower service. .... it also seems to add more control to what you can and can't access....

    at least from what I've read. ... and the way I understood. ...I would be against it. ...

    anyone care to explain it differently. ... or explain why I "should" welcome this change. ...
