PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Stupid sports rules" |
A space for anyone to post sports rules that they think of as stupid or unjust, or even to query how to play balls six inches under water and in a bunker.I was reminded of this one at the Crystal Palace Diamond League meeting last week. In the olde days an athlete was allowed one false start and was disqualified if they did it again, then the entire field was allowed one false start and any of them false starting after that was disqualified, now there are no second chances, if you false start you are out. Well IMO the definition of "false start" is wrong! If someone takes off after the gun has sounded but within 0.10 seconds after the gun has fired then they are deemed to have false started based on tests that show the human brain cannot hear and process the information from the start sound in under 0.10 seconds. Well I'm sorry but surely the rule should be that one is allowed to start after the gun has sounded, if athletes want to try to jump the gun this doesn't change the disqualification rules, but the 1 in a million start doesn't get penalise its recipient. Lovely cheese Mooney Where are Voice of the Beehive when we need them?
