Am I the only one who thinks that women's beach volleyballers should also compete in trampolining events?

Not a bad idea.

It was noted on one of the other forums that posting completely stopped during the beach volleyball on Sunday.

Me, I can't see quite how it worked down the East End docks...

Gile: Thanks for stealing my joke. I will consult my web-net lawyer. No win, no fee. But when the jury laughs at my witicisms,, your lawyer will weep...AND i will sue you for PPI and causing me to miss work through an injury...I suggest you sart contacting your stock-brokers. You may have to sell a share in the vatican stock (Yes, they do have them. Check it out). =)

Dresage (is that how one spells it?) Horses attempting ballet..A sport or cruelty? No, a sport, because your royal persons, unfamiliar with real labour, consider it so...

Just how many threads about the Olympics do you want?

It's not my cup of tea, but it isn't necessarily cruel just because it's posh and pointless.

Any so called sport involving animals is cruel. We do not share this planet with other species in order to exploit them. Now trampolining hippos, that would be fun.

Charliost: Humans are animals. So do disagree with human sport (or do you love the fact that others run, endure and create that which you cannot. Heroes? Gods? Your nation dies but you love giving yoir money to foreigners...Why? To be "number one"... Whatdo you care about your citizens? As long as you subscribe, who are we to comment...

Charlie only applauds cruelty to humans. Animals, he apparently projects human attitudes onto - as a lot of flaky people do.

Spin- no it is cruelty- it can be done in a very kind way ( see Parelli) but standard dressage is pure cruelty.

Not just animals that you would acknowledge as of the animal variety gille but also animals that people refer to as stuffed. They are real as well and have consciousness. Flaky does not even go half way there.

And stones.

Helen >>> says:
Dressage has its origins in warfare. The various movements are firmly rooted in the battlefield experience of earlier ages. Dressage or 'training' allows for one mounted man to use his horse deal with one or more assailants. First considered by the Ancient Greeks, especially the cavalry commander and historian Xenephon. His book, 'On the Art of Horsemanship' is still useful to the modern horseman.

Interesting 'fact.' thank you.

A; How does a ballet by a horse win a war? Dresage is a military procession, indicating superiority, not a tactic of warfare...

Spin says:
Me: The original olympics were based on human ability; that is, what the competitor could achieve with his own body. Today, trampolining is a sport. Cycling is a sport. Shooting is a sport. The central Greek idea of personal physical perfection is lost...I consider running, javeline, high jump etc to be genuine olympian sports...
