and it didnt

thats what i was talking about, but ya its the sign too

those people are dumb lol. we can't know what the people that wrote the bible thought of a year as it could've been like five years to us. we don't have the same calendar lol. so that wouldn't make any sense to decide a specific day when the world is going to end. scientists can maybe make educated guesses but no one really knows.

Chinese people can't run for shit.

well thats good...something we can maybe beat them at

Why would anyone outside of China be impressed by a gold medal that was obtained at the expense of education? The kids are being separated from their parents for a gold medal. I think that's a hollow victory.

chinease people can run there was an article in running times a while back about them running marathons and being really good..girls i think. i don't really remember though.

You do know we have people on these forums that live there don't you?

i dont think he cares at alllll.

Yeah, it seems unimaginable the conditions that they are trying to achieve these medals in

Yes RWS, I do, and I am telling them that their entire country can't run for beans.
Literally, the only mens world record they ever had was 110m hurdles, and they lost that recently aswell.

Save for 3 womens world records, I will grant them that.

but unfortunately,

they can't run for shit

still seems pretty insulting to me...

There are plenty of countries with no running world records at all. Compared to them, china can run "for shit".

without looking it up on the internet, I want you to name 2 elite distance runners from china.

When you compared population and resources, China and India can barely run at all.

as much as i hate to say it, it is true

kenyans, If it was not for the third world country you live in, the violence, and the strife in your country, I would be jealous of you!

I will trade running l33tness for the comforts of middle-class suburbia in america any day.

me too

i enjoy my life in a comfortable suburbia that i live in

Me too.

sorry for the bump but sorta scary considering china is communist

What's his face and that other guy.

No but seriously....um Xiou Luanguashini and um.....Xukaziki kanazaweekoo?

Wow, you have a point. There aren't any. There probably are, but their names are too hard to pronounce. Ryan hall is so much easier to say.
