Badmitten and volley ball are events, why not something such as waterskiing or wakeboarding, i think it takes a little more skill and endurance than the 2 mentioned. it might be an event and i never heard of it being an event

I think Greg is right. Everything in the Olympics is human power, no machines. I don't know why golf and baseball are not events, though.

It was in the book "Parting the waters" it talked about how driver error makes it tough to make it an event, b/c they can't make the conditions exactly the same for each competitor, save for the weather changes. They did talk about having skier/driver teams, so that the driver would have a share in the event so each driver & skier would be doing their best to beat the other teams. Though, still has not happened, as you can see...

i was curios if anyone knew about that... nopes they didn't i think they closed the case. the last confesion wasn't relevant since that d*ckhead said he was high on weed he didn't knew wath he was talking he knew about the cams allot of BS.. then the were supoused to releas another tape that the dude that intervied Joran but the never released it since someone threated the the person who wanted to released it and his family. i think the mother knows allot then what shes saying.. that case really hurt our eeconomy it is recovering but very slow..
the thing that realy set me off is that the mom came and ask to boycutt us but she couldn't see in her hometown how many person goes missing every year. here there isn't allot.. only holloway and another local that is missin curently. i have more theory's from a few beach bums here that told me what they think happend but they are only theorys srry for the tread jack |

I hear there is a place where all the garbage gets dumped into the ocean and the sharks swarm in that area and eat anything in site, no body as of yet or was it digested. alot of people go missing, the media turned it into a high profile case, if she was a twinkie or Ho-Ho eater we never would of heard anything. hopefully that wasnt offensive

i don't get ofended easily neeh ther's no such place here.. the dump is near the ocean but they can't and are not allowed to dump them in the ocean and theres not allot of sharks in this area, they do catch sharks sometimes but that is usually 6 to 7 mile offshore. only 3 had been caught really close to shore. never had a shark attack that did some real damage to humans.. my borther just told me the case is still open but have only one more chance to solve it.. if they don't get a confesion or body they will close the case for good.

every one knows he's guilty my father saw that guy about 8 hours after the night of her disapernce before the whole drama.. my father told me that he was so nervous that he caught everybody's atenttion. but by the time that he was the main suspect i think his father a judge or becoming a judge already coached him what to say and not to say. Aruba's mistake was to not let the US feds to interview the kalpoes or joran maybe they could get the presure on them they are more experienced then we are here
edit:they should lock him up with gang members and rapist and make him talk the hard way |

you guy's can get away with that down there cant you? im sure everyone has thier eyes on him and wont let that happen, is he still in Aruba? I visited there once and accidently missed my flight and took some R and R down there....nice place, thats why i asked in a post somewhere why would someone want to leave a place like this. I think its a double edge sword, its a rat race up here and wears thin on you and there sure the hell aint no way to get rich quick like everyone thinks
