You and me and Dubya and all those beach volleyball slatterns are going straight to hell
(I sure hope there are plenty to go around...ex presidents even if mortally unpopular are hard to compete with)
What I see women wearing now at the beach looks as if it were designed by men who hate women. It makes them look mentally retarded, as if they don't even know enough to cover their rear ends. As a man, it does not appeal to me the way a classy bathing suit does.
The female body is truly a work of art. Displaying it in a vulgar way debases women, as do piercings and tattoos.
There is no sense of beauty anymore, just trash.
Pity.
>There is no sense of beauty anymore, just trash.
Welcome to Welmar America where degeneracy is normal and dignity is unknown.
Yes, of course, a priest can be out of line, as can any other human being. My comment meant that nothing a priest says can be correct in the minds of some people.
I have the courage to say that I enjoy seeing young, fit women in skimpy outfits. So there!
A key question is: did the Egyptian women wear the modest uniforms because they “chose”, or because they wanted to avoid being killed when they returned to Egypt?
During the original games in ancient Greece, I believe the games were played while in the nude.
Do you mean Weimar?
“I have the courage to say that I enjoy seeing young, fit women in skimpy outfits. So there!”
Wasn’t talking to you. Was talking to the people who lied about what Msgr. Pope said.
Unfortunately, we have become a society of low-class slobs, men and women alike.
Personally I love women. That’s why I think it’s a shame they have so little dignity and self-respect.
Oh really. Here is my first post, please point out what was offensive...Msgr ignored the Brazilian team who wore bodysuits to pick some non-competitive team in a non-competitive uniform. It was not Alinsky to call him out for the poor choice of an example.
What is offensive is the lie it contains. Before you jumped in with your ludicrous fabrication, he was not called out for poor choice of example. He was accused of saying things he did not say. Your assertion that he was called out for poor choice of example is what sane people call a lie. Lying is offensive.
There is a moral aspect to rejecting women being forced to wear burkas
Ah, another lie. No one here, least of all Msgr. Pope, implied that women should be forced to wear burkas. (Note that an apostrophe is used to form a contraction or a possessive, but never, never, never a plural.) Your lying is morally offensive.
That is why the example was morally offensive to some.
And another lie. The Egyptians werent wearing burkas. Burkas play no part in the discussion, except as liars bring them up in an attempt to obscure the actual point.
The point is that there is no need for womens volleyball competitors to display their labia minora and points inward as they play.
you can re-correct words my phones auto-correct butchered
Yeah, sure. Autocorrect. Thats the ticket. Lets say that.
what would be really nice is if you could fix the original article.
The original article is just fine. What needs to be fixed is your integrity.
“Unfortunately, we have become a society of low-class slobs, men and women alike.”
I wish I had grounds to disagree.
A priest should always remember that his opinions carry more weight with some people than the average John Doe. Since a priest does not compete in the competitive sports field, he should have no legitimate opinion as to the attire involved. He should CERTAINLY NOT be accorded the victimization excuse such as “nothing a priest says can be correct in the minds of some people.” That fabricated “excuse” throws the fault on the opinion of others who are qualified to comment, not on the priest where it legitimately belongs.
A previous poster pointed out that the uniforms are chosen by each team. I suspect that if any team member had refused to wear the uniform, she wouldn’t have been permitted to participate.
This whole tedious discussion springs from the fact that some people ignore the topic (reasonable modesty in sports dress) and reconfigure some detail into an offense and an occasion for huffing, just because it involves Muslim volleyball players who dress like Muslim volleyball players.
“I suspect that if any team member had refused to wear the uniform, she wouldnt have been permitted to participate”
You couldn’t be more wrong. Per the article linked earlier in this thread they were all given an option of what to wear. The athletes said they chose to wear bikinis because it was more comfortable for them.
I am sorry I didn’t make myself clear. I wasn’t referring to the bikini-wearers. I was referring to the Egyptians.
So nobody who is not a competitor can have a legitimate opinion as to the attire involved?
You have not made any defense other than to call me a liar and nitpick grammar.
My last post on this thread was a linked article with a discussion regarding the issue I raised and you didn’t address either point.
1. Picking a team that got crushed is a poor example that uniform “doesn’t matter” when a team that won was available.
2. Picking a team that would face violence if they wore anything less modest is a poor example when one was available that chose modesty when they had the freedom not too.
But rail on against your straw-man and keep telling yourself all is well.
It still remains a poor example, I’m still easily amused and willing to spend the next year(s) responding to your posts and pointing it out time and time again. Perhaps if we keep going, we can even get “bad example” associated with the authors name in google search.
I have made an argument on the points and you are insulting me personally. Next time you insult my integrity, I’ll also hit the report button. Either address the issue, or go away.
“This whole tedious discussion springs from the fact that some people ignore the topic (reasonable modesty in sports dress) and reconfigure some detail into an offense and an occasion for huffing, just because it involves Muslim volleyball players who dress like Muslim volleyball players.”
Your casual dismissal of the violence faced by mid-east women is as offensive as people who dismissed the original point on modesty. I stated that had the original author made their point without that example, I would have agreed with much of it.
Rather than not the area of common ground, you chose to defend the bad example by pretending I disagreed with “everything”. You have not addressed the two facts:
1. It was a poor example because that team got crushed and thus did not support his claim that the uniform doesn’t matter from a competitive standpoint.
2. That particular team did not have the freedom to chose a different uniform (at least not without the threat of violence) and thus were a poor example in encouraging others to “chose” modesty.
Another team was available that did well, and did have the freedom to chose. The original author should have made a better choice.
“What is offensive is the lie it contains. Before you jumped in with your ludicrous fabrication, he was not called out for poor choice of example. He was accused of saying things he did not say. Your assertion that he was called out for poor choice of example is what sane people call a lie. Lying is offensive.”
From post 33:
“The time for your complaint was at the onset of the sport and not now. Your arguments at this late date cite the example of EGYPTIAN females as being properly attired.”
My first post was 190:
I did not state that EVERYONE had issues with that example, or that the example was their only issue. I simply stated that he was called out on it. I have provided you with the quote where that was done in a post prior to mine.
You talk about integrity... now show some integrity.
