The discussion was relating to whether this was an easy way out for Liu to protect his injury. If anything this discussion relates to the issue of are the Nike athletes forced to run against their best intertests or not? How is that anti-Chinese?

Make that three votes for suspected Chinese false start conspiracy

I think you are being over-sensitive. Liu is incredibly popular in an event that is as competitive as they come. Of course more eyes will be on him and more comments too. In that context lonewolfs comments are nothing more than a tongue in check remark that reflects reality. That, though, does not make the comment racially biased.

And given you lumped all our comments together (or did you intend to use dumbass referring to lonewolf in the singular?).

what's really clear is your anti-chinese bias, you dumbasses.

Why shouldn't we find your out-of-the-blue charge a bit perplexing? I see nothing here except for support for an atheletes (who happens to be Chinese) unfortunate situation (NIKE wants Liu at the start line).

Apparently I'm a dumbass, but didn't know it until cacique pointed it out . . .

I noticed. :twisted:

I just watched Liu's race and his false start was awfully close and he did go over a couple of hurdles....I am not convinced of a conspiracy though it is very possible.He looked pretty fast though and I just doubt he would have ran like that if he was worried about his hammy.
He looked so unsure before the race-you could tell he was not thrilled to be out there. The guy has so much pressure on him.... :cry:

Did Ryan Wilson also FS?

[Kevin Richardson]

Can't one be cynical without racial bias?

really? in the women's race, there was a FS and a DQ. all american women. were they in concert too? nobody raised any conspiracy theories there. but 2 chinese athletes, they must be all in cahoots...

i rest my case.

I still do not understand your problem, here. No one is saying anything bad about Liu, although you seem to be inferring that. Most of the posters on this site are quite civil, save for the occasional flamer. We seldom resort to insults, as that is, in civil society, a sure indicator of total lack of conviction in your own position. :roll:

I regret giving you an opening to vent on here, although I am sure your insults were simply waiting for some provocation.

Cheers

[cacique]

goodness, is this so hard to understand?

two chinese athletes in one race and somehow it becomes a chinese conspiracy. whereas tons of americans in another race and whatever happens, they are just individuals. i guess the double standard is too hard for you people to comprehend.

squackee, i'm glad you enjoy being a racist dumbass, considering the country where you are.

This, by the way, is simply not true. It may be that insults are not considered civil, or they may be unwarranted, or they may detract from the exchange of ideas, but they are NOT "a sure indicator of total lack of conviction in your own position"....And even if they were, which they are not, when you place your little emoticon of eyes rolling, this is an insult in itself, and if you don't recognize it as such, I feel sorry for your powers of understanding, and although that may be construed as an insult, it is not "a sure indicator of total lack of conviction" on my part that it is an insult to roll one's eyes or do so with your silly emoticon.

Thanx cacique! I am enjoying it here swimming in a sess pool of bigoted cavemen.

He wrote that insults are a sure indicator of a total lack of conviction in your own position. In my above post, I provided an illustration of an obvious refutation of this. Now you write that you are more in KR's camp on this. There is no more....He is either correct or he is not, and if you do not understand this, I could insult you without it being "a sure indicator of total lack of conviction" on my part that you cannot be more in his camp. You're either in his camp, whatever that means, or you're not...

In your corporate structure gh, are you above or below Managing Editor(I assume above)? Just curious.
