And what is the sport of "sailing". It can't be any of the racing

Racing in any meaningful way as that "sport" certainly includes a very

Id like to add that GOLF is a game baised on comunisum.

Look at it this way; when a person is really good they get penalized
and when a person is really bad they get more points I think its caled
a handycap.

Imagine that, the game of the elite rich is actually a game based on
the commie manifesto. Ya kno , take from the rich and redistribute the
points to the lamest players. So why do all those fat ass Rush
Limbaugh republicans who lvoe golf love the idea of taking a
handycap... hell even the name HANDYCAP says it all. the only game
that you need a handycap sticker to play.


Err... you are a little off target there. Nobody is penalized in a
game of golf, but the poorer players get some points to try and make a
better competition between the players. Much like yacht racing, by the
way.

And, given that golf like games were played as far back as the 1200's
while the Communist Manifesto was first published in 1848, it seems
far more likely that if anything communism might owe something to
golf.

As far as the word "handycap" goes, as you say golf players have a
handycap, yachts are also handicapped, horse racing is handicapped as
well as many other sports.

Ipso Facto, you don't know what you are talking about.


Cheers,
