  This is what a strong woman coming back from pregnancy and returning to the top of her sport looks like. A proper multi-discipline sport by the way, not standing on the baseline smashing a ball and moving as little as possible.

  Jessica Ennis-Hill, physically and psychologically outstanding.

  Billy Jean King agrees with her

  BJK said nothing to excuse her disgraceful behaviour.

  She agreed with Serena that men don't seem to get punished equally with women. In fact the umpire has issued violations to a number of top male players in the past.

  I saw it this evening at Leith, Edinburgh. Brilliant film!

  It perfectly captures the bewilderment of JWs who lose faith.

  Emma Thompson is outstanding.

  i do sympathize with her feelings of immense injustice.

  Except there was no injustice. She had a tantrum when she was held to the same rules as everybody else.

  She was not as good as Osaka and needed to blame somebody - anybody.

  Her disrespect for her opponent was a disgrace. Arrogant, entitled drama-queen.

  It reminded me of Willy Russell's Educating Rita. That scene in the pub after she's been studying Shakespeare and she thinks Lady Macbeth is a cow. Her husband and family are having fun in the pub and she just feels lost. - xant

  One of the most poignant scenes in any film ever.

  Evolution is a Fact #39 - Homologous Structures

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  every living thing descended from a common ancestor over millions of years.

  this is the central fact that the theory of evolution explains.

  house sparrows and tree sparrows only need to go back relatively few generations to find their common ancestor, while trout and tigers must search much closer to the roots of the tree for theirs.. darwin sketched this idea of common ancestry along with the words "i think" in one of his notebooks.

  You illustrate my point.

  Absolutely EVERYTHING we know about biology is predicated on evolution.
