European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by shango(m): 5:49pm On Jun 24, 2006
like I said, his teammates are holding him back, Thierry aint the problem, his teammates are, and overrated Zidane shouldnt even start anymore. Most overrated player of all time, thats Zidane

France is the most overrated National team ever, and they have the ost overrated player on earth (Zidane)

I have always said this since after they won the cup in 98 and I will continue to. Having one of th ebest strikers in the world doesnt autmatically make your TEAM as good as Italy or Germany or Brazil.
Christianity EtcRe: Evolution Or Creation: Which Do You Believe? by shango(m): 6:48pm On Jun 23, 2006
wow.

White Missionaries come across oceans, teach native people about a holy book and a holy religion and that thei rown native religion and theology is wrong and centuries later the native people are spitting back the brain washed material like it is truth.

There are unexplained forces in this world. Some of the smartest people on Earth including Einstein acknowledge this. HOWEVER it is NOT explained by the bible. The bible certainly has nuggets of useful information about and certain moral truths that are applicable in a secular society. But when it comes to explaining spirituality and divine forces it is a joke. Its first section is based on Judaism and outdated Jewish law (a HUGE section in the Old testament) and creation story based on earlier Pagan and nativist religions including aspects from Greek mythology and its second section is on a self proclaimed prophet and his disciples discrepant recollections of the said prophet with writings infused by Roman authoritarians at the time. Lest we forget, the Old testament was used to justify Eureopean slavery, as the Jews had slaves and they had laws governing the treatment and fair use of those slaves. Next time time the next round of imperialists come crashing through your borders do not be suprised if they use the great Bible to justify their oppression.

For anyone to hold up the bible or the quran and proclaim it is the be all and end all of life is an idiot.

For anyone to hold the belief that evolution is th end all and be all of the origins of organisms is equally an idiot.

Evolution is a THEORY. Its not a Scientific fact or law. its a theory. A very good one that seems to explain alot of events that occur in organisms such as why genetic mutations occur for example. But ofcourse it doesnt address several things such as the driving force behind such said mutations. It is a known fact that a single human cell kept alive for years does not spontaneously mutate (and as such what caused and drove the evolution of unicellular organisms to multicellular is not known). But Science evolves as well.

Anyone who doesnt believe that there is an unknown driving force behind this almostly infinetely complex world is an idiot. But you are a bigger idiot if you think the bible even addresses it sufficiently or is the end all and be all of explaining this unknown mysterious force. I hold Christianity on the same plane and level as Greek mythology, Judiasm and the plethora of native religions that where killed off  by Christian Missionaries and those that still exist today.

it is very VERY simple. France is a mediocre team. In Arsenal he has world class supporting players. France's National team on the other hand is a different matter. Just because France won the cup once due mainly to home advantage and alot of luck does not put them up there with the likes of Brazil and Germany. Thierry Henry is undisputably one of the top 5 strikers in the world but strikers are nothing without good playmakers. Ronaldinho and Robinho feed Ronaldo to do his thing, throw Ronaldo in the French team and he will be close to useless. You can place yourself in open spaces in football but if noone feeds you the ball how do you score.

France is overrated and it would not suprise me in the least if they do no tmake it to the 2nd round
