You might have a point, Gregor.
Ali had tremendous speed and a fair amount of skill but a prime Tyson (c.1988) was a machine that specialised in destroying skillful boxers.
That would've been a great match up.
when i was a hyperactive kid, i used to like boxing, and of course muhammad ali.
he was a great athlete, with a one-of-a-kind style who made a stand for his beliefs.. now that i'm older, i admire athletes that are quieter and get on with the job in hand - joe frazier, for example.. i'd like to put american racial politics and ali's tragic current condition to one side and focus on the following:.
how good a fighter was ali?.

As a boxer, what were his strengths and flaws?
How have you scored his fights (they're all on youtube)?
was it designed?.

Excellent article, Island Man.
I have two suggestions for future articles:
1. the canine teeth of Smilodon
2. snake venom.
Take your pick ...
i agree with the witnesses about almost nothing, but i do think they have the right idea when it concerns the 'soul'.
it is my belief that there is no such entity as a 'soul' that resides in a human being.
the idea originated in ancient, pre-scientific eras.

They were a bit before my time but I'll have to give them a listen ...

I like your post jemba - it is sweet and honest.
Perhaps I should be more open-minded to opinions like yours ...

I also agree with WTS that the 'soul' doesn't exist.
However, me & WTS quicky part company with the existance of Jehovah, although I don't have the bollocks to tell them this.
Is this really what I'm missing in WatchtowerWorld?

P.S. good point about the lawsuits ADCMS.
from the u.k independent newspaper :.
" the theories of evolution and the big bang are real and god is not a magician with a magic wand, pope francis has declared.. speaking at the pontifical academy of sciences, the pope made comments which experts said put an end to the pseudo theories of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, benedict xvi.. francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator arguing instead that they require it.. when we read about creation in genesis, we run the risk of imagining god was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything.
but that is not so, francis said.. he added: he created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.. the big bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.. evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.. the catholic church has long had a reputation for being anti-science most famously when galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his heretic theory that the earth revolved around the sun.. but pope franciss comments were more in keeping with the progressive work of pope pius xii, who opened the door to the idea of evolution and actively welcomed the big bang theory.
Me too, cantleave.
Considering the tonnage and toxicity of the garbage spewed by other religious leaders, this dude ain't so bad ...
ok so aparently there was this young girl who wanted to study with the jw's because she loved the bible so much.
she asked her fathers permission but he refused, after much nagging though he said she could have a study if she was prepared to have one of her fingers chopped off.
he thought the is would stop her but she was willing so he got a knife and cut off one of her fingers... a little while later she wanted to attend the meetings and he said no and again when nagged said she could attend meetings if she had another finger chopped off so she agreed and he chopped off a second finger.
Unbelievable!
I don't really know what else to say.
The Society really are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
i have come to the conclusion that there is no god.
period!!!
if there was a loving, righteous, all-knowing, all powerful god up there somewhere, where is he and what good is he???
'For practical purposes, there is no god with us.'
