Serena Williams- Giant crybaby

The testing has become obsolete, for the most part. There are two ways around it:
1. you can do steroids in the off season, and then have them out of your system when you come back, and just make yourself scarce in the meantime
2. there are ways now of getting the steroidal effect without boosting detectable steroid levels. The drug tech is always going to be a step ahead of the enforcement.
My solution: make the game about something else.
Think about rhythmic gymnastics. This was largely a russian introduction to counter the all-strength gymnastics competitions that were leading to 12 year old girls aped up one massive steroid doses.
Here's some simple ways to save tennis as an agility-driven sport, rather than power-driven, and this is just the first thing off the top of my head: regulation rackets.
If the racket just tore right through on a Serena Williams or John McEnroe serve, they'd just have to change their playing style to one which could actually hit the ball better. I'd much rather watch a game with 19 volleys than slam serves anyway. I'd most certainly much rather play one. I always feel good when I can return a powerserve, but it still doesn't feel like tennis. Tennis should be hand-eye coordination.
I feel similarly about basketball. It would be easy to repair this sport: Lower the basket. It just makes no sense to have the the basket in arms reach of some and a high jump for others. Here's an even better solution: multi-ring the basket. If there were rings going from 6' to 10' then the height advantage might be lost (there's still the blocker issue.) Might take more thought. But still, sports are being driven *towards* steroids by the structure of the rules. It would be a fairly easy change to drive them away again.

Anyway - since Wulfie bailed on an important question - I'll throw it out -
Is this economy geared for EVERYONE to succeed, or are its rewards strictly limited to only a few, no matter how deserving the remainder may be ?

Wulf, I promise not to bite, but you've thrown out "hope" and change" and "freedom" so much you're beginning to sound like Obama. So what I'd REALLY like from you- all snark aside- is some kind of description of what you mean. What are you against? What are you for? What does your ideal society look like? 'Cause from THIS angle, it looks like a bunch of people with guns running around shouting I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!. Clarify, please.
ETA: I see we xposted. I'm on lunch break. Hope to hear from you later.

Sig.
Then I challenge you. Start a thread where I can speak my piece.
Do it. I'll tell you what I believe. I'll show you and everyone else what I think we can do.

No "and", just a statement. But I, too, would like to read a serious definition of what you mean by "real change" and what you would expect it to accomplish. Would clarify some things, anyway.
"Wulf, I can accept that you're angry but don't hate. But I would propose that a lot of what you say applies to you, as well."
Yes, and?
My anger doesn't cloud my judgment as so many here, and as so many here have claimed against me.
Rather it fuels me, drives me, forces me to work for change. REAL change.
The kind that sets men free, that doesn't tie them back down to tyranny and slavery.
I think your anger DOES cloud your judgment, definitely, but I would agree that maybe not as much as what others claim against you. Most of what I see in response to your posts either IS personal or has some personal aspects referring to things they feel other than what you specifically write to which they are responding (convoluted sentence, sorry).
I'd rather know you as you write now, but I still admit to confusion; some days you post things I find thoughtful and worthy of debate, other days you post weird trash that makes no sense. I'd like to understand what that is, but I probably never will.
How exactly do you work to set men free? I'd like to hear that...what do you do, precisely?
Boy, for a guy who's "got a J-O-B", you spend an amazing amount of time here. Back when I could work, I'd never have been able to keep up here the way you do. Slow "J-O-B", is it? Just curious.

So, Wulfie - I'm still waiting. What was it, specifically, that made you think "ghetto" about THESE particular people? What was it, if NOT their skin color, that made your mind jump to the "ghetto" reference?
I'm going to stick my neck out and defend Wulf - 'hot ghetto mess' as a term could be interpreted as referring to class, and aspects of black culture, and not black people in general. Just like calling Britney Spears' family 'white trash' or whatever - not a racist slur in my book.
And it's why you get a lot of middle class blacks who come out with similar slightly uncomfortable and un-PC comments about black (ghetto) culture - I heard one not long ago (and these people can't be called racist).
It's funny though, when I first saw the title of this thread I thought 'Wulf's going to have something to say about this', and sure enough... He does seem to be on a mission of some sort, to point out the ugliness of ghetto culture whenever he can. Which is fair enough as far as I'm concerned, he's got a point, and he's not hating all blacks indiscriminately as far as I can see. If you other guys want to see some real racist remarks then for example go and have a look at some of the comments on youtube.

Not everyone can be saved, but SOME CAN BE. However, some are simply evil and worthless. Its a sad fact of life. There are good people, and bad. Ying and Yang.
Some human beings are beyond redemption, more like animals than people. I don't especially plead sympathy or understanding for them, but I do regret that they turned out that way.
I see it as squandered human potential - you on the other hand Wulf, think that some people are simply born that way, as much lesser human beings...?

Who are you quoting there?

What I'm trying to get at - and the ONE question that Wulfie seems to keep running away from - is WHY DOES HE *ASSUME* THAT THESE PARTICULAR BLACK PEOPLE ARE "GHETTO"? I mean, he's insistent that it's not "race", so I take that to mean that it's not because they're black. So why call them "ghetto", if it's not about skin color?
