I'm really sorry that I offended some people here! Yesterday I thought it couldn't be that bad if I SHOWED what other armwrestlers are PROMOTING, but I forgot the fact that we have kids and sponsors checking this board also. Once again, I'm sorry for that!
Now I have to spend the next hour sending the link to all interested people! : )

i didnt see it appareantly i dont want to.
But Chris is right its about morals not about what is publicly accepted.
Prostitution is legal in las vegas. But its still sin. And should not be legal. It should not have anything to do with any family event. and that goes for any form of immorality.

Must have been a very interesting picture!  Yea, it was. The expression on our faces was like the fat kid with the glasses in this video (since this was on Comedy Central, it should be "safe" to post here): BRAVERS! |

So Ryan what exactly is immoral and who gets to decide what that is? Prostitution is legal in some Nevada counties, not in Vegas or Clark county, but in my opinion it should be legal in every state in the union, care to debate me on that off line, of course you have to bring something more than just the fact that you think it is immoral. Charlie I do not think it was offensive at all. |

In Europe (at least in the northern part) it's not a big deal at all with a picture like that. That's why I made the mistake to post it here. I don't think that breasts is porn, but I respect that people have that opinion and I will be more careful before I post here again.
The intension was not to show you a funny picture with boobs. I wanted to show you that we have that kind of organizers in the world and I wanted to hear your thoughts about it. Now afterwards I realize that I should have posted the link to the site and not a direct link to the picture.
I have no problems with my morals. We live in different cultures and we don't have the same values about everything.

My opinion was only in reference to kids seeing it. I am sure no adult is going to melt by that picture. I could see how women who are trying to take their particular classes to a higher perch would be offended and that was also my direction in my post.
Charlie I hope my posts did not offend you and I never questioned your ethics.
You are a good man.
Ryan,
It was two topless women armwrestling.

Chris, I am not offended at all. Read my post again as if I said it in a friendly manner. I agree with you about the restriction thing. It was a mistake.

Charlie I do not think it was offensive at all. 1 Corinthians 6: 9. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Matthew 5: 27. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Since you dont believe in God what guides your morals. And whats there to change your mind on them? God decides what is right and wrong. |

Ryan as we have discussed previously, the laws of man preceded religion and any concept of god, so you cannot just attribute right and wrong to god because it suits you. My morals are driven by what I personally perceive as right and wrong, nothing else in the world has given me enough cause to fall in line with their positions and to be frank my position is as flawed as the next guys.
As soon as god comes out and tells us himself what he deems right or wrong, then we can be arrogant enough to claim we know what his position is, until then we have nothing more than the claims of thousands of years of mere mortal men and their agendas to thank for what is currently deemed as the commandments of god.
Care to discuss thou shalt not kill? More people in this world have been killed in the name of religion than for all other reasons combined, if you are going to call something a commandment the least you can do is not undermine its worth by continually finding loopholes that allow you to break it.

LOL. Absolutely hilarious... Okay, so it was a little dirty. Im a bouncer at a strip club and I try to get the girls to armwrestle all the time! They are STRONG. I saw one climb almost two stories to the top of the pole. Be scared ladies division.

HI Charlie,
As an european.. this picture makes me smile, nothing really immoral.
BUT as a armwrestler..... that makes me sick.
Again it gives a very bad idea of our sport, especially about the women !!
Do you know where this pics come from ?
Who organise that kind of match ?
Catherine
