Earl wrote:My main beef is that if P.E. is to be mandatory, genuine fitness classes should be provided for nonathletic students (instead of forcing them to participate in competitive team sports) since that is the best way to get them into shape. Of course, the "old P.E." should be retained as an elective for the athletes and other students who want to participate in sports.
yeah earl, you seem like a sensible guy... but i wonder, when did you go to school? I don't know if its just a state thing, or back when you went to school but your idea of what P.E should be like was pretty much how it was when i went to school. In elementary school, it was a required part of the curriculum, but it was pretty basic stuff like stretching and cardio like running a few laps. then the last 10 minutes you could play whatever you wanted like kickball and soccer or some other made up kids games i don't really remember. in middle school, p.e wasn't required, it was an elective & it was sports based. i took it, along with other kids who wanted to, no one was forced to be in there. finally, in high school, you needed 1 p.e credit to graduate, you could have either taken weight training, team sports, or just regular p.e. i took regular p.e since i didn't want to be sweaty throughout the day, and also because i already played sports after school anyway. in reg p,e you just exercised (they had a bunch of exercise equipment & simple machines like treadmills), again doing cardio, and preparing for the presidential fitness test, which included running a mile, doing push ups, sit ups, and measuring how flexible you are. the rest of the class time, you would do bookwork, learning about different ways to be healthy and keep in shape, including eating habits. so yeah, either p.e has changed over the years since you last went, or maybe it is a school/state/area issue.

Do you find it "amusing" to post on websites in order to insult people?
dont know how she found it, we were talking on msn & she said to check this out, guess she also found it funny, who knows.
and i don't think i've insulted anyone, at least not on purpose. i have shared my honest views without viciously attacking anyone like the self proclaimed intellectual fat man has done. in fact it proves how childish he is, even at what, 59? thats a little more than 3x my age, yet he acts like a child.

Yeah, I was thinking that, too. For someone who's so smart, he doesn't seem to know the function of the Shift key. When you consistently can't use proper spelling, punctuation or grammar (one or two mistakes are okay, everyone makes them), then you kind of lose credibility.
lrn2setting bro i can type like this or even in texting form and it woudn't matter. we are on an online forum, i can write proffesionally, or in any closed format if i needed to. besides that, writing isnt even my strong point, i'm way better at math, physics, history and not to mention my reading comprehension is supposed to be off the charts. but i dont like to write, oh well, i better go tell the college board to throw out my 1440 SAT score, i cant seem to write properly in sportsuck.org.

Of course, it all depends on whatever the board moderators decide.
See ya around, HOT SHOT!!!
jesus christ. i don't know much about psychology, but definitely there's somethings you should get checked out man. way to go completely away from the topic and write every little thought in your head about video games.
also about the pink name, i don't give a shit, pinks cool with me. the avatar i couldn't care less about either.
but again, way to be mature bro (at 59?), really rocking out that 150 iq you claim to have. you sound pretty bitter.

OMGdudeWhat. I wonder what inspired you to choose that for a username.
most normal people don't give a shit if you like sports or not to be honest...
Here we go again. You say "most normal people"... implying we're not normal because we don't like sports.
but i see a lot of "EVERYONE SHOULD STOP LIKING SPORTS BECAUSE I DONT LIKE THEM" type of idea around here...
Nice of you not to provide a specific example of somebody saying that. That really helps your argument.
Best regards,

-when i said most normal people, i mean people who aren't crazed sports fans. die hard sports fans are a minority compared to the rest of the population, therefore, you cannot be made an outcast in society as a whole for not liking sports. you may get made fun of by a few, but really most people have lives to worry about, jobs to go to, families to feed, etc. they dont give a shit if you like sports or not, and depending on your own mentality and how you carry yourself you might end up out casting yourself.
-you want a specific example of my quote? go read a few fat man posts, or some of that sergey guy too. keep in mind, i am new to this forum, dont expect me to have read everyone's posts, but the topics that i did read were spammed with sergey & fat man posts up the butt.
Fat Man wrote:You all notice how these sports bores like to call us losers, saying that we can't get the chicks.
Well, the fact is, that many forum members here are married with a wife and children and raising families, so it's obvious that many of us here do have girlfriends and we actually get acquainted with a much better class of ladies than what the typical sports fan or jock ends up getting stuck with.
Most jocks end up dating cheap slutty bimbo jersey chasers, or two dollars tricks, and most sports fans end up married to bucktooth sluts.
you aren't. you don't.
and i can guarantee you, you have never gone out with anyone even close to girls i have gone out with. and its not even a sports thing, i am telling you its because i can tell how girls wouldn't be attracted to you physically or personality wise. you're kind of a dick actually.

This is their cozy love nest out in the woods somewhere.
Ah! Don't you all just envy them!
i actually laughed at this. not the picture though, you seem obsessed with me... do you think im hot?
also its pretty funny that you seem to think im poor. all sports, education and whatever else topics aside, my family is pretty wealthy.
also i'm not gonna go and dissect your other post, it would take too much time, but here's a gist of what i can tell you.
-you seem to think i had privileges for playing sports, but besides leaving school 10 minutes early when there was a game, i did not. most of my teachers have no idea if you play sports unless you tell them or they see you wearing the gear. i never got handed free A's (as if i would need them) for playing a sport.
-dont know how it was back then, but if you really had a knee problem, a simple doctors or even parents note gets you out of anything. and if your knee was really fucked up there's no way a school would take a gamble with a lawsuit. maybe you just went to some poor school in a shitty area, but yea....
-you got suspended for 3 years for a "fight"/running out of class? bull shit.either theres waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy more to that story or its straight up BS, you do not get suspended 3 fucking years or get expelled if that's what you meant for that. im sure there are laws about denying you an education or something similar to that extent...
-overall you seem pretty hung up on stupid shit like getting made fun of in the 5th grade, learn to live on? everyone is the center of a joke once in a while
-i never bragged about being "smart" or my iq. in fact i even said i dont believe in the whole genius.gifted system they have in schools. i just stated these things for you to keep in mind. im sure if i didnt you would be calling me retarded. its an assumption, but its a safe one.
-"You want to know what really gets me! You were allowed to achieve academically while I was not." i was allowed to achieve? hahahahahahah, i studied, did my work, passed my tests and found an interest in learning about science all by myself(i was hooked on carl sagan's "cosmos" since like 9th grade), no one fucking gave me anything i didn't earn. i have a full scholarship that overpays for my college because i worked hard, and i rocked the standardized test that are required to enter into college. sports didnt help me, maybe i had an advantage, but only because my parents are both top payed professionals on the salary scales. however that doesnt guarantee anything, im making the most of my opportunities i would say. but you know what fat man? you just sound like a bitter old man because he did nothing worthwhile with his life, anyone can turn tragedy to triumph if they work hard enough.
cant believe i wasted like half an hour typing this out, maybe i got defensive, ha. most of you seem to take posts as if we each believed them to be 100% facts, i know i may be wrong when i say something, even if i believe it. but theres always room to learn and form new opinions, if you cant even even do this, dont even reply to me. im not gonna even gonna bother with you if you arent even mentally on my level.
