How about it, ROBERT.. Master DR1.

A DR sports fourm would be cool.

Health info is easy to find. Plus it is covered in the Living fourm!

Sports would be a great forum to have in here. I think it would be more mayhem than the rest of the forums but a great idea nonetheless. A medical forum would be great for those looking for info but the Sticky thread is out there already. If medical questions would come up more often, then it would make more sense to have a forum for it........

A sports forum definitely sounds like a good idea.

If you boys get your sports forum, I want my volunteer forum. And if you boys get your sports forum, no bitching about the Red Sox.

I think a health forum is a great idea. We could talk about anything from babies to menopause.
Mainegirl tell me what you have in mind about a volunteer forum.

Then what the hell is the point?

They got screwed last night!

The announcers on the Sox radio network forewarned what would happen. They mentioned Joe West - the umpire - always putting himself on stage when he works behing the plate.

They predicted (almost perfectly) how things would play out. Que verguenza!

In her best "teacher" voice...

Cleef, can you say that in a more positive way?

The "Health Forum" idea makes me sick!Get It???

No really,a bad idea! Now a Dominican Baseball players Forum,maybe.It would put all this "Boston Red Sucks" talk somewhere that could easily be avoided!Cris Colon

Health, I don't know about that one.

Sports, that could be fun. Who wants to moderate it?
PM or email if your interested.

I'm sure I could, but figurative language is an element of literature.

1.) Indicate if the sentence below is in a figurative or literal form. Then re-write the sentence in the opposite form.

"They got screwed" (figurative)



"The Red Sox are a bunch of overpaid and whiny babies that will never win anything besides May" (literal)

How about those NETS Bucko? Don't give me any BS about no competition etc... Double swept the last two, what a team!!

Blahhh

If you're team is going real good, then I can stand NBA. Otherwise, I'd rather watch paint dry.

JKidd is great, a dope, but great player.

Sports?

But it couldn't be about spoerts in USA. This is a Dominican forum. that would mean so football, hockey and all the american baseball teams.....remember only news and info pertaining to DR!!

Jan - Your spot on, anything non-Dominican related would be deleted. I think the forum would be very slow. What will you all talk about when baseball season is over?

how about it, robert..master dr1.

If you sports gurus ever think about anything else, it's a wonder!!!
How about HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY, ECONOMICS< and a multitude of OTHER NON-IMPORTANT endeavors???
If you deleted SPORTS from TV and NEWS(?)PAPERS, what would you talk about???
We Americans have become so embroiled in the ROMANESQUE propencity for contact passtimes, we forget where we came from and where we're headed.
I'm of the opinion that we have reached our zeneth of accomplishment in technology and thinking.
Take a look at each of the past great civilizations. As each reached it's peak of technological development, it started a rapid decline into an obscurity relative to the rest of the known world.
My personel opinion is that the American community(world-wide) has reached that point and that our love affair with non-essential activities obscures our better judgement.
Remember the quote that goes "History tends to repeat itself". Such holds true because each generation THINKS it is smarter than the previous one and fails(refuses) to learm from the mistakes made. AND our current generation is making plenty of those mistakes.
I consider SPORTS to be ENTERTAINMENT and as such should be viewed in a transitory manner, the same as MUSIC or MOVIES; NOT made into a MAJOR endeavor of memorization of statistics.
Sorry folks, but obviously this pursuit of Sports activity is a MAJOR GRIPE of mine, and I had to express myself.
Texas Bill

How bout Dominican Hockey or Dominican Bobsleding???

Oh, I don't know.... the Dominican women's volleyball team? Boxing? The Dominican basketball tourney? The polo matches at Casa de Campo? The boat races in SD? The occassional bicycle races? Wind surfing competitions at Cabarete?

I don't see it's place here either

I think a health forum has more applicability, but I'm not a fan (a sports clich?, DAMN!!) of watering down the forums anymore than they are.

As someone pointed out earlier, if you need to find something health related you could always do a search.

The sports angles have such a shallow pool of DRelatedness it would be a waste. In addition, Robert would flood the damn thing with his ridiculous stats about cricket and "real" futball and F1. PLEASE spare me.

The only driving sport of any relevance is trying to get yourself from the top of S.D. to the bottom around 4pm. M-F, that's sporting and DRelated!

As a philosopher once said ? or maybe it was Texas Bill, or Homer SImpson ? ?sports ain?t smrt?.

As far as hitting our zenith in technology and thought, I agree, that?s one of my main reasons for becoming such a proponent of education. I think it?s the greatest investment opportunity left. Think of how many dumb people you know - a potential customer!

Sports would be great but it likely would only deal with Dominican players.

Health would be a spot to put those medical stories that are being posted
