Re: Moans and Pet Hates Part 7
If you got a bronze, then surely you lost not won.
if you had won it would be a gold.
just be thankful that they even give the losers a medal

Re: Moans and Pet Hates Part 7
No, you win a medal for being 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

So all the rest are losers then.
is there any losers in a 3 person event if they all get medals?
nothing wrong with being a loser. that's what competitiveness is based on.

I've heard it said that, in Judo, participants rather have a Bronze than a Silver. Silver means you lost the last bout. With Bronze you've won. So, when you get Bronze you win it. When you get Silver, you lose Gold. Slightly weird, but it does make sense.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates Part 7
It's a sad thing to give a bloke a 'man hug' and hope that they'll return safely.

Bronze signifies third best in the World so that is positive unless you live in an alternative universe. 
Why not try coming third in something, oh forget that I forgot who you were.

I swear that if I hear another US citzen say "awesome" when something just plain isn't - I will have to be restrained.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates Part 7
I want to rant, but if I do it will be full of swear words so...
But anyway.
Why do people on here and other Forums always have to act so bitchy towards others when opinions differ? If you don't share the same view you get shunned and villified and treated like an outsider.
If everyone had the same views then life would be ... boring, but there is no need to keep baiting other people. One day, a post on here or another Forum like the kind I've seen today of baiting and bullying will send me over the edge, and infractions be damned, I will swear if I damned well want to when I vent.
I'm getting near breaking point, and am giving people fair warning.
