Alastair_S1D Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Giving homeless children a sweetie = feeding wild animals??? No wonder we have issues in SA.People bury their heads in the sand and pretend the issue isn't there. No wonder we have issues in SA. well I'm sorry obviously there ISN'T an issue if races like the Berg and Bush and Sani have you signing to agree not to feed kids. I mean obviously they would make you do that if it wasn't causing a problem seriously? How Naieve are we? And humans and animals especially when it comes down to baser instincts are more alike than you think. But hey you got to watch a bunch of kids bliksem each other over a sweet. Fun that was I am sure. Better than WWE RAW on Etv right? And the Victor learnt he could use violence as a means to an end. But hey no harm done right? Edit: just remember when you get knocked off the bike or something possibly worse happens (I'll leave the possibilities open to your imagination) just remember you could of been a solution to the problem and assisted them in a far more meaningful manner.
Alastair_S1D Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Indeed. Some of the attitudes regarding these kids is pretty disgusting. there are better ways to help them and be kind to them.

Job Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 For me warming up is more than just warming up your legs. It's also about getting your mind and body prepared for what's to come. So even though you might have cooled off a bit by the time you start, your system is ready to go. That's how I look at it at least.

Many people were ignoring the kids and thats up to them, I didnt see anyone getting hurt nor hear about anyone being hurt if they didnt stop to hand out sweets. We are all entitled to our opinions, mine is that it is part of the event, I got some sweets from the sponsors/ vendors and gave them to a kid, but hey, I have a 7 year old at home and know that kids are awesome, so no regrets here, as far as the race , Meh !

Alastair_S1D Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 BUUURN!Are you burnt? Damn Quick someone get a burn kit! Apply cold water to burnt area! Fact of the matter is people often misidentify someone displaying facts as an asshole. Happens all the time. The wonderful thing about facts though is they don't stop being facts because we want to ignore them.

This changes things, on a global scale! Many many scientist will love this idea, print something on a MTB race entry form, boom!!! Thesis done!

People print things on legal documents and indemnities just for their health these days.
Alastair_S1D Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Privilege problems?Whats that? Facts are privilage now? Well guess they must be. Look who runs the country.
