Hahahaha CarbonBoy... You take the cake my china! I still want to know how much you paid into the kitty to crack the nod! Hehehehe...

6w kg-1h-1 Hmm... I can do that... I think.. Just give me 12 months... On EPO! Hahahaha

Dude, it's not that difficult, all I have to do is lose 10kg's and I'm sudenly a 6w/kg rider... The rest will follow...

Besides... This thread started because I couldn't see what was offensive about the statement, "The UCI must be a Christian organisation..." Why we are now debating the Theory of Reciprocity?

Bruce... we should be discussing how to get my FTP to 270, not fannying about on the net! Pantani2008-05-10 03:43:51

Hehehehehe, Chris, you're really going for it... lol...

Yes, silence! I report you!!!!!! By the way, I think it's actually 13...

With most subjects there is no problem here. If you say you are making a new bike with a 300mm crank a 1000 hubbers will tell you you are crazy. Mention that you worship the Toad in your swimming pool' date=' and its a special case, no-one is allowed to snigger, let alone say you are crazy.[/quote'] Hahahahah.. too true...

No it's not it's 7.

Religion, the answers to life, cycling and all that aside... Part of the problem with a forum like The Hub is that there are people of varying intellects sharing thoughts and ideas. Sometimes some of us are too clever for our own good... I'm often guilty of this. I could have stated the obvious but chose instead to make a statement that I knew might be contentious. It's a pity I also have to think of and for the ignorant masses who might misconstrue what I say...

Seriously, in my capacity as a pseudo intellectual, I would be crapping myself if I had to make a call on that post... On what grounds do you say it's offensive, and to who? He touches on the most fundamental aspect of Christianity, but in a manner that can't be disputed... Faith is exactly as he describes it... But we all know that it constritutes sacrilege to deconstruct religion in this manner... The purists would bay for blood... Pantani2008-05-09 11:49:16

The thing with ChrisH's post is that it's difficult to dispute and as such constitutes an acid test for moderation.

Moderators must be checking their rule books...

Well, sorry for being "The Nigger that caused all the trouble" ( settle, this headline was used to describe Vuyani Ngalwana, Pension Funds Adjudicator), let me go home to my Charismatic Pentecostal Christian wife so that she can lay hands on me for I have been bad... Ciao bella!

Hey Marco.......what exactly did Irvin say? I missed that one!! Bwahahahaaha... This will become a 100 page thread... if it makes it without getting the chop!

If you are not intelligent enough to see the correlation in my last argument please don't comment...

I mean really... As a Christian who finds something to be offensive to my sense of Christianity I shout and rave about it publicly! I don't secretly send a message asking for people to respect me... If the statement was so offensive then I believe as a Christian the thing to do would have been to publicly make your objections known... Christianity isn't about hiding in the shadows, it's about being fruitful, joyful and mighty... This includes making a public stand for what you believe!

Oh yes, I was trying to figure out if my statement in the Basso thread was offensive... So we have established that the forgiveness of Basso and making him an ambassador for anti-doping could be likened to the story of the Prodigal Son... Is the UCI a Christian organisation? No, not by definition or characteristics. Can parallels be drawn with regard to the treatment of Basso and the Prodigal Son. Yes, it can be argued... Does any of this offend the sensibilities of Christians? I sincerely hope not... Pantani2008-05-11 03:39:07

I dunno... South Africa is a Christian state... Report this post... Ban me... ???? Fess up whoever you are... I don't understand why? How is the statement offensive? Ubless someone at the UCI too offence at being labeled a Christian or Christians were offended by being associated with the UCI??? Who?? What?? Why???

Exactly... I would love to know who and how did I piss them off?

I hope it's not because I said, "Clearly the UCI must be a Christian organisation"?

Huh? Where did it go?

Big H, are you sure you not part of the new breed of intellectual refugee, the Afrikaaner elite now living in exile? There is a diaspora in the making and it has it's roots in the first Holocaust of the last century, The Boer Holocaust. You touched on it ever so slightly this afternoon and I was surprised that you didn't drive your point home when you had a great opportunity to in the "Tweede Taal" fracas. Anyway, when I least expect it you surprise me with your more than elementry grasp of English (pronounced ingrish) literature as well as the written form of the language... Respect...

So... are you people driving to the Blockhouse/Circus and riding from there? Ewep/Slowpoke
