Originally posted by Dufouria its about as much a sport as is auto racing and bowling.

You put auto racing together with bowling? Maybe not in NASCAR, but in other types, the bodies of the drivers have to be in tip-top shape. People like Michael Schumacher are on very strict diets and exercising programs, to make sure they can handle those g forces for 2 hours on end. Auto racing is a sport and always will be. Bowling and poker are debatable.

While I agree with the other stuff, vintage-looking clothing I don't. Maybe not as far as ripped jeans, but just vintage stuff in general. Personally, I tend to get rid of my clothes before they start looking vintage.

Originally posted by Jayx1 they have been around for a few years but it wont die. Gino buttoned down striped shirts. I cant stand them. Every idiot in a club wears them. Also: Any male item of clothing with pink in it. Ok the pink dress shirt was a start years ago. But now you have the pink button down shirts with floral and wavey patterns! Shopping now sometimes feels like being in my mother's closet! And FCUK... I like FCUK but in the past it was way better. Now they have way too many gino shirts and not many of the cool shirts they used to carry. I have to look online in england for those now. Damn ginos, why did they have to discover FCUK in Canada and ruin it?

wow. that is unfortunate.

Originally posted by TO guy Its certainly not athletic, but I would say its a sport.

To me in order to qualify as a sport something must be based on either hunting or war. Subsequently, most athletic competitions are sports, chess is a sport, horse racing, target shooting, caber tossing and the like are sports, however, curling, golf, bowling, race car driving, poker and the like are not sports. I can't put my finger on why I feel this way nor am I willing to argue that it is the "correct" criteria on which to judge but it is how I view the matter.

cricket?
football/soccer?
baseball?
swimming?
tennis?
cycling?


I sense a hole in your theory.

Baseball and cricket would qualify as games.
The strategies of both football (NA style) and soccer are based on war (flanking and what have you)
Swimming is certainly an important skill in anchient combat
tennis = game
cycling I'm unsure of my position with regard to this, certainly bicycles have been important tools of war but I'm not sure if the sport itself has it's roots there.

motorracing could be considered the modern equivalent. Cycling doesn't exactly have a real long history in the grand scheme of things.

If you've ever seen a game of Aussie rules, the link to war isn't so subtle

I think you are maybe a touch too stringent on the classification of sports and games. Some of what you said above I reckon is basically.............. wrong (sorry).

Different opinions I guess.

Poker for sure. Ofcourse it did not start in 2005, but its popularity soared! So many of my friends started getting together and playing Texas Holdem this hear.

They are always asking me to play, but i enjoy SPENDING my money not losing it. Ofcourse there is the other side in which I could win, but I would much rather buy something and have a useful item in the end.

If I wanted an 'experience' I'll go on a trip!

No need to apologise for disagreeing. As I mentioned in my initial post on the subject, I can't really justify my thinking it is simply how I decide between game and sport.

Agreed
(did I just say that?)

k i cant believe people are just noticing pointed shoes...have u people been living in holes in the ground all ur lives??

now if u refer to those "witch shoes" (the ones that extend and point for like 8 more inches beyond the toe), that was big in 2003 adn that was annoying..

what was annoying by poker was that it suddenly got big on TV. yes there were a few poker tourny's shown before but now u have all the "learn from the stars" and all those other shows too. the most annoying part was that the general public went all bonkers over it and everyone started playing it. yea i do play poker on occasion but some people got seriously addicted (not in the gambling sense but addicted to playing it)

what i found annoying in 2005 (some previously mentioned):
- the livestrong and all other bracelets of that nature. If u want to supoprt the cause, go ahead and buy the bracelet for donation but dont go around proclaiming that ur so good cos u donated and "care" by wearing it

- the trend of square tip dress shoes (fuck i wanted to get a round tip but nooooooo they werent even sold)

- women wearing a long pale (or in most cases white)spandex/cotton t-shirt under another shorter t-shirt..

- the crazy over the new wave of synthpop bands such as franz ferdinand and the likes

- the U2 craze over their last album which sucked major ass

I was shocked at how badly U2 sold out. They used to be good and reputable.

Originally posted by dance2dabeat no the shoes that go pointy at ur toes... not the heel

ok, people. with most heels the toe is pointy. this has been so for decades, as has already been said, and therefore not something i would consider a 2005 trend.

however, in recent years the trend has been for round-toed heels (which i personally love), and flats, whatev. so are you all saying you prefer round toes to pointy? or only hate pointy to the extreme?

i'm fascinated.

another bad trend was how Morgan Freeman had to be in a shit load of movies this year, accept the same in 2006

Harry and the Butler (2006) (announced)
Untitled Morgan Freeman WWII Project (2006) (announced)
Evan Almighty (2006) (pre-production) .... God
The Contract (2006) (filming)
Colors Straight Up (2005) (filming)
Lucky Number Slevin (2006) (post-production) .... The Boss

I like Morgan Freeman. He's very believeable in nearly every role I have seen him play. Plus he's got a kick ass voice!

He is a damn good actor, so I am willing to see what he comes up with. But I think you have a good point, where an actor should try and limit them selves. Quality vs Quantity.

I have to disagree here...... James Earle Jones would be the ideal voice of God.

I agree that race car drivers need to be in good shape but that does not make them an athlete. The car is doing the work, they mearly control the car. Granted there is a lot of skill involved but it is not athletic skill. If you are going to make auto racing a sport then Playstation hockey qualifies as a sport too.
