How is America Stacking up against the World??

[Cuyo]

Translation: Everything you say is true but I cannot allow that to pass.

You like your little "Translations," don't you?

That all you got, parasite?

Translation: There is nothing on the merits I can say so I'll just be gratuitously insulting.

Thanks for making that clear, Clowno!

OMFG, you're such a loser I almost passed out.

Do you disagree that it is the left that seems to continually want to ban ROTC and military recruiting? And is it not the left that finds fault in competative situations?
Exactly how is it the fault of conservatives.....and I am not truly saying there is fault to anyone....but exactly why the right over the left if anyone at all?

Dude... I'm 28. I was in high school 10 years ago.

We played football, and dodge ball, we were taught wrestling, track, and just about every other competitive sport there is.

A friend of mine is now a football coach at my high school, so I guess they're still doing sports. There's just no evidence for the accusations. I find them, in fact, laughable.

Your argument is that you were in high school 10 years ago? Really??? WTF???

Uhh, lets try this Ribeye style...

"Dooooy, translation: Oh shit he's right, schools are still doing sports. Fuck, what do I do, quick, insult him!"

Oh...dont get me wrong. I realize Rabbi exaggerrated the point hew was making. My sone played football and lacrosse and was recrutied by over 100 schools at the collegiate level. But there is no denying that there is more and more intervention by left organizations as it pertains to "issues" in competition. Not enough to eliminate it....but it is certainly not the right that complains about competitive issues.

But that being said, if Shintao is correct with his premise...exactly how would it be the fault of the right as he so clearly states?

I disagreed with Shintao. However, as a country we perhaps are falling behind physically with regard to the average Joe. That comes with the complacency of plenty. But to suggest our athletes are somehow second rate compared to others'? That's just silly. We grind out some of the most elite athletic machines in the world.

We are on the exact same page.
Thanks for the response.

Hmml lets see here.
Competition has been declared bad for children's fragile ego by the Left, thus banned in most schools.
Contact sports have been deemed too dangerous and too prone to lawsuits by the Left, thus banned in most schools.
Patriotism has been deemed bad by the Left so banned in most places.
The Boy Scouts have been deemed bad by the Left, so constantly facing persecution.

How has any of this been the fault of conservatives, who are all in favor of competitions and training for kids??

Sometimes. But I see plenty of right wing fringe weenies in my neck of the woods that may want to continue ROTC and militarty recruiting but never served, would not serve, did everything they could to avoid serving and would not want their kids to serve.
But I agree with you on the rest of your post. However, many object to the recruiting tactics. Big $$, many promises and a fun tour of the military. Both of my sons are being recruited now as college grads. I support their decision and leave it to them but I also inform them. Get the contract and have a lawyer tell them what it is. No cry babies.

Same here. I played a lot of years and my son played big time high school ball here. Amazing the athletes we have. And the process we have to develop them is so much better than most other countries. Sports for a long time in my life was my strength and now it is my weakness!!

 

[editec]

My goodness what a confused complaint.

America ought to train our children like they did in SPARTA?!

And liberals are responsible for us not being like that?

Has it occurred to any of dunderheads that SPARTA was a socialist FASCIST STATE?

No of course not.

To put all that together requires some understanding of the subjects you opine upon.

My son was recruited to play for one of the academies...either football or lacrosse...both coaches wanted him, but he was only allowed to commit to one sport. We went through the process including Senator recommendations, meeting with multiple Lt. Col's, official visit...and in the end he opted not to attend/play for them; and instead commited to a private institution. I was disappointed in his decision but never let him know. His choice was based on commitment. He was not convinced he wanted a long term military career and I understood. As for my wife? She struggled with it as well. She has attended too many funerals.
I decided it best that I take a back seat in regard to his decision.
I am equally proud of him however as he is developing into a fine young man.

Your argument is that you were in high school 10 years ago? Really??? WTF???

Uhh, lets try this Ribeye style...

"Dooooy, translation: Oh shit he's right, schools are still doing sports. Fuck, what do I do, quick, insult him!"

Arguing that you played sports in high school 10 years ago so there is no problem with physical education is like saying my wife and I both have jobs so there is no problem with unemployment.
Reality is beyond your own experiences.

In fact we do have a problem. And the cause is largely from the Left.

I guess this thread didnt exactly turn out like you thought, eh? You are now arguing against your own position.

That's wonderful, but not representative.

My county is 100% Republican and the state is 100% control of Republicans.
They have cut the spending in schools and sports across the board.
This is not a political problem, it is a national problem.
Most importantly it is a PARENT PROBLEM and the parents are overwhelmingly Republican in the south.

We should be more concerned about our economic future vs China's, and not a few pictures of kids that you can find in any country.

Yes it is. It is representative of an American parent and a good model for all parents.
One kid at a time unless you are a collectivist.

Actually it isn't. The average American parent is a single parent involved intensely with his/her own life with occasional times for casual contact with his/her own children. Said children are typically parked in front of a computer or other electronic device eating junk food and becoming obese.
That is representative, unfortunately.

If he is so ignorant, then im sure you can come up with a more persuasive argument than that.

Oh, goody. Another "America Sucks And It's Conservatives' Fault -- Somehow -- It Just Is" thread from Shintao.

 

[loosecannon]

US=30% obese, nearly as many diabetics, skyrocketing rates of ADHD and Autism disorders, we still watch an average of 7 hours tv/day.

In Japan almost nobody is obese, and every single student studies martial arts in grade school. I know, I went to school there. I got to visit a Japanese school for advanced students when I was 7yo. The level of focus and discipline was off the charts. Even the poor kids in the streets were sharp hustlers before they were 10yo.

Is it any wonder that we are slipping as a world power?

there is quite a cultural emphasis on personal responsibility and good citizenship there too, no?

But, but America is number 1 we just have to be...

Damn statistics lie!

all just commie propaganda.
