The downward spiral into the abyss of political correctness continues unabated.

The cult of self-esteem.

You lost, but you really didn’t because you are wonderful.

You won, but you really didn’t because you oppressed your opponent and will now be forced to attend 40 hours of sensitivity-to-losers training.

This is why Western civilization is slowly heading down the tubes. Children are being forced to regress to the norm. And the norm continues to head south as kids figure out that they can slack without any repercussions. Then one day they vote for lefties to provide for them because they are too stupid to do so themselves.

Fortunately, at least in the US, the love of competitive sports and the fact that most of us still have our sack will forestall this for some time.

Europe doesn’t deserve to have its current government.

It needs taking over. Russia, Middle Easterners, Indians, Chinese... Africans... Mexicans....

Anyone, from any place... aliens from Mars.... take over the whole of Europe... please.

If they can’t read the results does that mean they can bet on the games? Since they can’t find out stats and ranking of teams they are playing you would think setting up or consorting with a bookie would be legal.

Totally stupid. Perhaps they will limit participation to eunuchs. The concept of "building character" through competition and learning the concept of winning and losing is important. If you never learn to recover from failure and press ahead, you will fall on your ass the first time you fail in the real world. Lots of "feel good" for pansies.

My experiences in the Boy Scouts provided lots of opportunities to excel...and fail...and overcome failure. I learned tenacity and pressed forth to Eagle Scout. Much success in the real world is more tenacity than talent. Too many people give up when faced with minuscule challanges.

Over the last two weeks I've resumed riding motorcycles on the street and dirt. I took my big 384 lb Suzuki DR 650SE to a very remote mountain at 6200 ft elevation. No cell phone coverage. I laid the bike down twice...once on my left leg with the me and top of the bike pointed downhill. There was no rescue fairy around. I did see some bleached bones in the brush. It was totally up to me to recover and get out of the area. I still have a big bruise on the back of my right thigh from pulling a muscle on the first lay down.

This evening I traveled from the Trail Creek trail head to Michaud creek road. It was quite climb up on a decent gravel road. The descent down the other side was a very rutted double track. Lots of loose sand. A tough traversal in my unpracticed state with barely suitable offroad tires. The dirt road on the descent had lots of animal tracks...coyotes, deer, big cats and snakes. The big surprise came when I looked up just in time to roll my front tire over a stretched out rattlesnake. It was no time to panic or pause. It was a challenging ride. Solo again.

That is why the UK has done nothing on the international stage since the 60’s. They have the best league in the world the EPL but can’t produce any “homegrown” players to win international championships. They didn’t even make it to the final of the European Championship this year.
