    I see no blood or even dirt on their clothes, no bandages, crutches or stretchers.

    Seems they gave up their homes without a fight, so if they don’t care about it why should I?

    Keep away from pizza parlors where the Deep State has taken control. They now promote Hillary's child sex ring and other child slavery. Oh, not in the open. It's all very devious. They thought we'd never catch on but those of us on the far Right are on to their scheme.

    That's proof they haven't had a hard time. Journalists are all obviously lying.

    I generally communicate with someone because I want to listen and understand their view. It's even more beautiful when we are able to reciprocate that respectfully with each other.

    choices....these are refugees escaping...not in the hospital...you want pictures of the dead? The front runners in that crowd are definitely ahead of the pack for a reason. I never said you should care....I said I care. My post is in response to the "equal playing field" post. fact...the playing field is not equal, never has been and never will be.

    I hear your empathy sir. There is no doubt you are a master of mustering this response. You can and do exceed my capacity. I am even sure the world needs your talent.
    However, this doesn't prove the playing field is tilted or not level. It just shows that many will choose to see it that way. I do not, we can all play even though many do not.
    Ha! Once I could get under 4.4 in the 40. A simple bamboo spear slowed that down with one small cut. So you just call on your other talents and win. The choice become clear when you can't run.

    You value the act of loosing or running. Hell those people didn't lose, they just didn't know how to win! Help them with this and be much admired. We are awash with empathy for those that don't know how.

    your post here makes you a poor judge of character then...once again, the topic evades you because you see it as sport...good luck with that...you think there's an even playing field for humans today....I know better..

    Funny enough I finished the 5000 in the early 2000s, kinda the same time I last heard of Powerman5000 (which was the inspiration for the name)

    I'm up to Bodymansucks8799 now.

    Saw white zombie twice. One at the nuggets arena and once at red rocks in colorado. Never saw rob solo though.

    Both zombie shows were really good. Red rocks was with pantera. Moshpits on stone seats and steps. Wild.
