You sound somewhat immature there timdavidskate.

NASTY U NASTY

Yes, but saying that was feeling some girls breasts on a public forum where everyone is expecting to ready about gender discrimination is, to me, TMI!

Look, I'm not setting any double standard! I would say the same WRT whether Tim made out w/a guy, a gal or whatever. This is NOT the type of stuff you would want to discuss in polite company...and certainly NOT in a forum where young KIDS are also reading this board!!!

Please, let's show a little bit respect to those who might not want to read stuff like this in a figure skating board!!! Let's show some CLASS here!!! I'm not saying don't discuss it, but if you are going to discuss it, at least do it via PM.

Thank you for the support, you guys!!!

Exactly. Sounds like the guy needs a good kick in the head.

I agree, and have already said as much. Which leads to the question: so why did you say it then in the first place?

I believe there is a way of blocking personal viewing of certain members, can someone show me how because it doesnt matter whether these comments were coming from a gay or otherwise, I dont want to read it, up untill now I have really enjoyed viewing this forum, and I dont care how educated some of you think you are, dont judge me, you are wrong.

Because wider blades on soft ice will have more surface area on the ice compared to narrower blades. So one would expect the wider blade to be slower on soft ice. On harder ice, maybe it doesn't matter so much. And hockey skates are designed for hockey starts, while figure skates are not. So basically, you'd be disadvantaged already in the quick start if you're on figure skates. The profile of the hockey skate is also angled for better agility in taking off compared to figure skates. So I predict that the hockey skate will win in the short distance.....while the figure skate, with its longer blade 'may' be quicker for long distances. The hockey skate will likely have the advantage in the running start. That's just my prediction. And that's what I know when I'm wearing the two different types of skates. But since you don't know what hockey starts are, as you said that you didn't care, then you're probably not yet in a position to understand the differences.

And when I said it's pointless for one to say they're faster than so and so without evidence or proof....I'm talking about individuals saying that they themselves are faster than so and so. I wasn't talking about hypotheticals/predictions.

I thought you said that you thought it pointless to say that one is faster than so and so, unless there's real proof of it. Guess I must have been hearing things...

You were hearing things alright. Because when I said 'it's pointless to say that ONE is faster ....'. The 'ONE' is referring to an individual person.

Well I suppose my real-life experiences at a number of different rinks can't compare to the accuracy of your wild speculatation - clearly, I should have never dared debate such stunning logic. Your amazing intellect is so great that it overrides real life.

Here, let me kiss your toes so skilled at thine hockey starts as I worship your stunning superior toepickless blades with which you propel yourself across the ice with such tremendous speed...clearly I was the one who was wrong all along. No, sorry, I can't quite manage to lower myself that far - must be my toepicks getting in the way.

Well...I think perhaps Tim got carried away by us all defending the fact that saying he made out with some dude wasn't TMI. The whole breast thing is in fact WAY TOO MUCH INFO, though! That was really gross. I see nothing wrong with some guy saying he made out with another guy on a public forum, especially if it did, in a joking way, fit the theme of this thread- and there were NO details. I do however see something slightly wrong with talking about feeling girls' naked breasts on this thread. I'm not offended, but I did make a scrunchy face when I read it cause it was just kind of eww. Not appropriate here IMO.

There's a line, and I do believe it has been crossed. I hope it isn't an action that will be repeated, but on the other hand, there's no need for an uproar about this, IMO. I was much more offended about coskater's post against Kevin Callahan than I am about this. And yes, I'll let that go eventually too, it just really surprised me coming from anybody on here.

It is you who has the wild imagination there casey. Obviously, you're the type that resorts to vermin-like tactics in order to get your way through discussions. Try to drop that bad habit....it'll make you a better person.

The Bible do you? "Why do you see the speck in your neighbour's eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbour, "Let me take the speck out of your eye", while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbour's eye." Sounds surprisingly like denial to me.... human nature doesn't change!

Better not quote stuff out of the bible here.....because don't forget that your religion condemns gay people. So before quoting things to make your statement, better fix up your own beliefs first.

Reading this discussion leaves me with only one question: what's such a avid hockey skater doing hanging out on a board specifically for figure skaters?

There's nothing about breasts in this post, is there? This is just harmless stories.

Easton, if who is faster doesn't matter, then why'd you bring it up? (Not to mention that I'm pretty sure the speedskaters have everyone beat.) And insulting people's religion really should be out of bounds, especially when it seems your knowledge of Christianity comes from whatever you hear on the news about Pat Robertson.

I agree, this is crossing the line. I've tolerated your antagonism up to a point, but this is going too far. Mrs. Redboots didn't bring up religion, she brought up the Bible, which happens to be an ancient text, and a piece of literature, no matter what your beliefs may be.

Consider yourself warned.
