How to deal with people

Is S:TE a coaster?

Hey, I never said that ice skaters and gymnasts dont work hard. They do. They work very hard at what they do and they deserve a lot of respect. In fact I will go so far as to say I enjoy watching Ice Dance. I still don't consider it a sport even though it is very enjoyable to watch.

As for boxing, its kind of a psuedo sport because if you knock the other guy out there aint nothing a judge can say to alter your victory. Also I believe the judges count number of hits or something like that and their totals are averaged to get a somewhat accurate count of the number of hits. Could be wrong though.

As for coaster enthusiasts sitting on their asses complaining about whether enthusiasts are tools, well I resemble that remark!

Certain victory.

Sarah Jackson said:I believe that ice skating, gymnastics, and so on are "real" sports. Those people train just as hard if not harder than some so called "real" sports. They deserve respect for what they do.

See, this is what I don't understand. How does not being called a "sport" translate to lack of respect? Sport, game, competition - these are all just words that somebody made up to describe what is basically the same thing.

Looking at the state of pro sports today - what with steroids in baseball, violence in basketball and football, gang rape in locker rooms, etc. etc., you'd think being called a "sport" would be an insult.

whats up?Glad to be on sportsbuzz.What about bowling.Just kidding.Boy did this topic go in another direction.Props to Sarah Jackson-you go girl.

Cedar Point -How an amusement park should be run.

The most shameful moment in recent sports history was Gary Barnett getting in front of cameras and saying "Katie Hnida was not only a girl, she was a lousy kicker"....MY question for *Coach* Barnett is this: "Oh, so you allow/encourage your players to rape everyone who can't kick too well?"

How can this man be allowed to keep his job? Suspension my eye, I'd have fired him outright after THAT!

In comparison to that, Pete Rose's gambling habit seems like pretty small potatoes to me. I didn't think I'd heard anyone say anything so backward, until I read the other thread about metal detectors...

Coach Barnett could teach a class about how NOT to deal with people....and he could have Jim Harrick, Jr. write up the tests...;)

P.S. I love sportsbuzz! :)

Well it seems as if you are going to need one of those "flashy-dudes" that they have a MIB and just change their memory - seems to work everytime I ride MIB:Alien Attack, I swear that I rode a shoot'em up ride, but I always end up in a "presentation hall" at the end of the ride. Weird huh?

What was the question again? ;)

Actually a good way to build up endurance of working with the public is to either 1) work at Wal-mart's photo lab or 2) be a substitute teacher. :)

does anyone notice how the topics digress into something totally different from the start to the end of a forum?

What?

How about *indoor* sports? Indoor sports like um.....darts. ;-)

-Tina

How about lawn darts? ;)

The Flying Turns makes all the right people wet - Gonch

Yeah!

Do we have short attention spans or quick minds? Either way threads mutate, drift and sometimes return. What were we talking about?

That would work!

Darting can be fun virtually anywhere anytime as long as nobody gets hurt or arrested for darting in public. lol.

-Tina

<-----who promotes *safe* darting. ;-)

But its SOOOOO much more fun when people do get hurt, tina(as long as its not me).

I wanna know why Moosh said "finally a sport I'm good at" in regards to Fascination.....

Sorry I got in late here....does playing Magic:The Gathering in high school count as a sport? ;)

In all seriousness, my sport was band...I got roped into the tuba, and my school didnt have those nice fiberglass sousaphones...we had the ancient solid lead ones! :) I still think I walk tilted to the left! I never lost so much weight in my life as marchign season....damn that ba$tard was heavy!! *** Edited 3/17/2004 4:41:46 AM UTC by Peabody***

Real Cbuzz quote of the day - "The classes i take in collage are so mor adcanced then u could imagen. Dont talk about my emglihs" - Adamforce

LOL! Jeff. We had those tubas as well. I feel for ya.

I played alto sax all through Jr. High and High School. I loved it.

I would say band is a sport all in itself, and could get pretty brutal when you had to march in parades in 80 degree weather in those bulky uniforms. Ugh.

-Tina

<----who misses the fun of sneaking beer on the band bus. lol.

This one time, in dart camp...

Tina - I thought you'd get in with that line before me ;)

-Jim

Jim, they shoulda warned ya not to use yer 'ead as the dartboard, mate...:)

BTW, just to clarify...it's "lawn darts" vs. "pub darts"....been a long time, but throwing them used to be a LOT of fun....of course, I only had a regulation-type dartboard to throw at, LOL....

You still have Zoidberg.... You ALL have Zoidberg! (V) (;,,;) (V)

Why is it such a big deal wheter something is a sport or not or whether someone is an athelete or not? It's like your track record. Count it the way you want, enjoy what you do, don't care what anyone else does or says.

That said, foosball is definitely a sport.

Hobbes: "What's the point of attaching a number to everything you do?"
Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun."

Bill-

It was more fun before you clarified it ;)

And they used my head as a dartboard after they ran out of photos of me lol
