Were I to meet you, I would hurt you and very badly at that. I would have no remorse about hurting you badly, even setting you on fire and watching you burn.
I certainly can't defend Dalakhani's political views. He is a terrorist sympathizer which is disgraceful.

But with regard to the discussion about jockeys, Oracle was bashing Gomez for not winning, even when Gomez wasn't making any mistakes. When people said that Gomez was not making mistakes, Oracle said that there was no excuse for going 5 days without a win and that this would never happen to JV.

Anyway, I think Gomez is riding better than anyone right now. When he is riding well, he is easily the best jockey.

Rupert- I appreciate your honesty and your willingness to tell it like it is. You have earned respect for a reason and you ARE a stand up guy unlike the oral fellow.

Terrorist sympathizer? LOL. Surely you arent that closeminded. Are all Arabs terrorists? The act of "terrorism" IS disgraceful but those acts are committed not just by men in hoods but also by governments including Ours. I hate all forms of war. Call me a peace sympathizer.

No, I don't think that all Arabs are terrorists. I don't think that all Muslims are terrorists. The terrorists are these militant Islamic extremists. These are the only ones I have a problem with. I don't know how you can compare our government to these groups. There is no defense for the behavior or the motives of these groups. They have no positive motives. They just like to kill innocent people out of hate. Look what they're doing in Iraq every day. They bomb super-markets and cafes. They want to blow-up commercial airliners. What would that accomplish aside from killing a bunch of innocent people. There is no way to compare the behavior of these groups to the bevavior of our government. You have to be kidding.

Please, guys, maybe it's better to leave the political debate for another forum.

not exactly sure why people want to come back and demand an apology or retraction when someone, or mostly a certain someone, is wrong. what's the point? if we all had to face 'you were wrong, admit it' threads, would anyone ever go out on a limb on anything? make a pick?

what, we have message board police now?? i don't recall anywhere in the rules on here that said you must come and take your lumps when you're wrong. it's irritating, at least to me. it's all up here in black and white. everyone can see, and go back and re-read, what was said. funny what interests some on here.

Oracle deserves it in this case because he is always one to say "I told you so."

Not the thread or section for this discussion but if you would like to do it in the political section i would be happy to engage. I always appreciate a well thought out debate and our debates so far have been pretty fun (especially the kent d one).

This thread is about ORACLE and how he was WRONG. Lets see if he is EVER going to be stand up. I wont hold my breath.

By the way, Gomez already has two wins today. He had 3 yesterday. If he keeps this up, he may catch Prado in the Saratoga standings.
