Why would this be a question at this time, since no Muslims are running for president in 2008? I personally don't care what someone's religion is - I want someone who has the expertise to run the complicated country that the U.S. is at this time, and I think Obama is that person.
Good point, no Muslims running for office from what we can tell. HOWEVER, religion is something to be considered when voting. Look at the last 8 years. Bush's foreign policy has been largely based on his faith. He has said it himself. I'm pretty sure that Bush even said God told him what to do, which wars were right to fight. Obama, nor McCain I don't think would be as extreme with religion as Bush has been. Sarah Palin, that's another story.

to the person apologizing to the to the muslims for the ugly american...
that would be me.
Seriously, you don't know anything about me so you really need to be careful about making comments insinuating that i am not ''focused on the homefront.''
Are you somehow trying to insinuate that i am not loyal enough to America?
You like to make assumptions about people? I can do that too..
Firstly I think its been established the Obama IS NOT A MUSLIM! HE IS CHRISTIAN! So since there is no Muslim running for office your post is irrelevant.
How many times does he or his supporters say that before you fucking people hear and GET it!
Secondly...you make some serious allegations...where is your proof?? I don't see you siting any sources that say the mosques get funding from the Saudi's or that they ALL support a Jihad in some form.
Sounds like you are believing some of the bullshit McCain is spewing and to you I say...get a mind of your own and do some research.
How do you know the lawsuits are frivolous?? I think racism against Muslims and indeed other East Indian people is VERY prevalent (all you have to do is look at the so called random airport checks). I mean your post alone has some very racist overtones. (not saying you personally are racist).
As a Catholic myself...need I remind people that Christianity wasn't always so rightious (sp) either. Anyone study the Crusades???
Lets stick to the ISSUES here and leave race and religion out of the election. I know many Americans can't and won't...and thats what makes me sad, scared and angry.
Truly, I don't understand people who think Obama is a Muslim. I wonder if they really do (which seriously raises issues regarding these people's sanity), or if they're so bent on making political hay they don't care if what they say is true or not...it's just a good rallying call for the bottom of the barrel element of John McCain's base. Either way, it's a sad commentary on our times.
I'm not the Pope, but I was raised in a household that had a Catholic in it. By some people's "reasoning," I guess I'm the first female Pope whether I want to own up to it or not.
I make no bones about my dislike of obama and that i will not vote for him.
However the stuff going around now seems so outrageous one has to wonder where it stops, and whats the end result?
It seems from the Youtube interviews of Mccain supporters and just the whole "fox news" mentality is this: Obama is a muslim and a terrorist supporter. That he is a radical.
To these people, thats a fact. No one can prove them wrong because they believe these are facts.
Thats why I dont think Obama will win. There are thousands maybe millions of people who think obama is a muslim and a terrorist supporter. Millions more who are racist and will not vote for him, solely on the fact his skin tone is dark.
I think also, if he does get elected, as I stated in previous threads and posts, sadly alot of people, will want him dead.
If people are shouting "kill" "bomb" and "off with his head", and people are "scared" of a obama presidency, just think the mayhem that will ensue if he gets into the white house.
As I said, I dont support obama, he isnt a candidate I like. That said he isnt a muslim, or terrorist lover.
I'm almost on the other end of the spectrum. Almost. The difference of course is that I don't want John McCain dead.
There will be riots if another republican is elected. They've fucked us over for 8 years now, put into 2 wars (that we know about), and have turned the economy into levels not seen since 1920, circa the great depression. They've shit on labor, destroyed unions, lowered (yes lowered) minimum wage, and have put very little effort into backing the epa, among taking away countless rights, and shredding the constitution.
Having said that I am not partisan, and see very little difference between the dems and republicans.
However, I will give Obama a chance, 4 years in the whitehouse. And he will be elected by the way, your intel seems to be a bit removed from reality. But after those 4 years, if nothing changes, you will see that I am not the only who will have given up on the American electoral system. And we will find a way to make ourselves be heard. try to silence the voiceless, after all this shit. Try.
Isn't it awesome how we are portrayed to the rest of the world. People see all of these events in the 'news'' over and over again and they think that those peoples behaviour and thoughts are the 'norm'. No wonder the rest of the world laughs their asses off at us. Seriously.

Memorial for longtime state worker at Capitol
Saturday, August 30, 2008
The Oregonian
SALEM -- A public memorial service for Marc "Ted" Winters, an aide to two
governors and husband of state Sen. Jackie Winters, will be at 2 p.m.
Friday, Sept. 5, in the Senate chambers at the Oregon Capitol.
Winters died Tuesday at age 84.
Winters worked for state government for 15 years, including seven years as
staff to former Govs. Tom McCall and Bob Straub.
Advertisement
During the McCall administration, he served as director of the state
Economic Opportunity Office. He helped to establish the Housing Division,
which later became the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department.
As a private citizen, he founded MAJAC Institute and New Life Christian
Network Inc., a post-prison ministry. Along with his wife, Winters fed
"Jackie's Ribs" in their restaurants and at cook-offs.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Family Building Blocks
or the Yatima Group Fund, both nonprofits in Salem.

Just replying cause you quoted me
Ok, so the 7th of October is the thing in common. I get that.
I make no bones about my dislike of obama and that i will not vote for him.
However the stuff going around now seems so outrageous one has to wonder where it stops, and whats the end result?
It seems from the Youtube interviews of Mccain supporters and just the whole "fox news" mentality is this: Obama is a muslim and a terrorist supporter. That he is a radical.
To these people, thats a fact. No one can prove them wrong because they believe these are facts.
Thats why I dont think Obama will win. There are thousands maybe millions of people who think obama is a muslim and a terrorist supporter. Millions more who are racist and will not vote for him, solely on the fact his skin tone is dark.
I think also, if he does get elected, as I stated in previous threads and posts, sadly alot of people, will want him dead.
If people are shouting "kill" "bomb" and "off with his head", and people are "scared" of a obama presidency, just think the mayhem that will ensue if he gets into the white house.
As I said, I dont support obama, he isnt a candidate I like. That said he isnt a muslim, or terrorist lover.
Which individual human beings who are victims of military mind control
research do we already know? Harold Blauer, the tennis pro who was
killed. Frank Olson who was killed because he jumped through a window
because he took LSD mixed with Cointro by Sidney Gottlieb,
administrative Head of MKULTRA who I talked to on the telephone. When
was the Olson family compensated? He died in 1955 or something. They
were compensated by the President in 1977 I think it was. The reason the
wife and surviving children figured that in fact this was not a simple
suicide was they read the Rockefeller Report on CIA activities published
in 1975 in which the case was described without him being named. So,
they are reading the Rockefeller Report, and they realize their
husband/father was actually killed by experimental LSD and they are
compensated for 3/4 of a million dollars. One of the people who
testified at the Committee hearings at the S enate in 1975 was a
technician for Amadeo Morazzi who was the guy who w as the Head of
Edgeware Arsenal where Paul Hawk got his LSD and mescaline from who was
funded by the Air Force while he was at the University of Minnesota.
His research assistant whose name is Mary Ray(sp) was given a dose of
experimental LSD which resulted in an acute psychotic state for which
she was admitted to hospital for which I have her medical records, and I
am in contact with her lawyer and I am going to go up and get her story
in more detail. She talks about a room that was involved in the LSD
research called "The Leaf Room" so when you were on your LSD trip that
was administered by Amadeo Morazzi you were taken into the Leaf Room
which was a room where all surfaces of the room were totally covered
with leaves. This is weird stuff. She also was connected into a bunch
of other stuff. I am not going to go into all of it, because it is a
little weird, but it is two hops from Mary Ray to Iran Contra. So she is
a real person who exists. I know her lawyer. I talked to her lawyer on
the phone. I am going to fly up there. I am going to interview her. I
have her medical records. And the way this works is the stuff that is
happening now is not going to be declassified for 20 or 30 years.
Eventually we will have the names of people who were victims of
experiments in the 70's and 80's and 90's. We already have the names for
the 50's and 60's, not really into the 70's. We have the names of
specific people who were victims of the Tuscagee Syphilis Study and the
radiation experiments into the 70's. That's the way it goes. You are
just pushing back that curtain and there's always this lag time because
you are relying on the views of the Intelligence Community or public
apathy ... "it was back in the Cold War" "it's different now" "we joined
the boy scouts and we don't do that anymore". So there is always a
disinformation strategy for wh y it happened a long time ago and we
don't do it now and we are very regretful and we are so regretful that
we in fact agree to compensate these victims. In Oregon there was a
prison where men were paid to be subjects to participate in radiation
experiments. Their testicles had been irradiated so they would get paid
a certain fee to participate in the radiation of their testicles.
Special arrangements were made so Catholics couldn't participate in the
study because they couldn't use birth control so they might give birth
to genetically mutated children ... so it had to be only non-Catholic
participants. There was an extra fee, it was a little bit fatter, if you
would agree to testicle biopsy to see if the radiation was dropping the
sperm count. When 9 of these people pressed their case to the State
Legislature in Oregon in either the late 70's or early 80's, in its
magnanimity, the Legislature agreed to compensate them for a total of
$3000 for all nine subjects. So this is the way it goes in trying to
document this stuff and trying to make it public and identify the
specific individuals. IT'S A BIG SLOW JOB. And when you make Freedom of
Information requests it's like interacting with any Federal Bureaucracy.

The writ of habeas corpus is one of what are called the "extraordinary,"
"common law," or "prerogative writs," which were historically issued by the
courts in the name of the monarch to control inferior courts and public
authorities within the kingdom. The most common of the other such
prerogative writs are quo warranto, prohibito, mandamus, procedendo, and
certiorari. When the original 13 American Colonies declared independence and
became a constitutional republic in which the people are the sovereign, any
person, in the name of the people, acquired authority to initiate such
writs.
The due process for such petitions is not simply civil or criminal, because
they incorporate the presumption of nonauthority. The official who is the
respondent has the burden to prove his authority to do or not do something.
Failing this, the court must decide for the petitioner, who may be any
person, not just an interested party. This differs from a motion in a civil
process in which the movant must have standing, and bears the burden of
proof.

The 1960's saw the loss of the Montpellier Pavilion and we can now see with
hindsight what a blow this was for Cheltenham Table Tennis. In the 1960's we
lost several of our top players and the advent of the sponge bat. Names of
successful players that come to mind are Martin White, Tony Smith, Johnny
Mower (who long reigned as Veterans champion) John Marshall, Les Gresswell
(recently appointed as E.T.T.A. coach), "Chalky" White and Derek Grant.
This brings me up to the present time (1973) with the prospects for the
future looking brighter than for some years. Players such as David Harvey,
Bob Thornton, Malcolm Green and Peter Slack should show that the fact that
both the men's and the Junior teams, who won their divisions of the Midland
league last season, was no flash in the pan.
I am afraid that I have just scratched the surface in going over these 50
years. I have had to omit many personalities and many events, but I trust
that these few words have illustrated what great progress has been made from
small beginnings. But one must remember that the players who do not make the
headlines, and the teams who have not won honours are the backbone of our
Association. Finally we must not forget the many officials who, over the
years, have given so freely of their time. All have played a part in the
progress we have achieved over these 50 years.
We are extremely grateful to Ron for providing such an insight to our game
in Cheltenham during those formative years. (Stan Johnstone commenting).
Table Tennis or Ping Pong, as it was first known and played in the 19th
century, never really appeared in its present form until an Englishman,
James Gibb, a prominent athlete, while visiting the USA in 1900 brought back
some coloured plastic balls which he had noticed were children's playthings.
It must have occurred to him that these would be better to use for the new
Parlour game of "Ping Pong" than a child's rubber ball which had been mainly
used up to that date?
Gerald Gurney's book 'Table Tennis - The Early Years', which is perhaps the
best authority on how the game developed, states that celluloid balls were
first introduced about 1900, and it would seem that, ever since, the game
has been attractive to countless generations of youngsters and parents who
always sought to control that bouncing ball. Yet for something like 20
years the game remained in the doldrums and one must ask why this should be
so? Ron gives us many of the answers because we may say with some conviction
that it must have been played with a great deal of interest in Cheltenham
prior to 1923, as when a National tournament was organised by the Daily
Mirror in that year there were more than 30,000 entrants across the UK. Wow!
Yet this must have been only the tip of the iceberg as these are only the
one's who fancied their chances.
Ron tells us that the Cheltenham Ping Pong Association was formed in January
1923 and this fits in with our scant knowledge that the above tournament was
played in 40 areas, from February to May 1923, the finals being played in
London.
On the question of rules we may say that the (English) T.T.A. had
formulated some rules largely due to the efforts of Ivor Montagu, son of
Lord and Lady Swaythling He also changed the name from the Ping Pong
Association to the Table Tennis Association, but it was not until 1926 that
the I.T.T.F. got into the act. They currently represent 186 Affiliated
Associations.
It was interesting to read from those early days that the results of matches
depended on the total number of points scored by a team.
With reference to the old venue of Montpellier Pavilion which served
Cheltenham so well in the past! Venue's have always been a problem over the
years to our C.T.T.A. Committees and Peter Cruwys must take much of the
credit for linking us with our present magnificent venue at the Cheltenham
College. This has meant having to adapt our playing habits to our new
circumstances, where so many teams play their matches at the same venue, but
there is nothing in the rules that prevents any team from having its own
venue providing the conditions are suitable.
How Table Tennis Began
Table tennis was invented in England at the end of the 19 th century as a
parlour game based on lawn tennis. The earliest bats were made from
parchment stretched on a
frame - the distinctive sound made by a ball hitting these hollow drums
inspired the name 'ping pong', but early versions of the game were also
marketed as 'Gossima' and

Obama’s dad is/was a Muslim, right? People took that and twisted it to their advantage and suddenly Obama’s Muslim.
And even if he is 100% Muslim, the Muslims that attacked us were extremist, so I wouldn’t see what the big deal would be. Every group has extremists that could ruin it for the whole group.
I think USA is willing to elect an African American as our leader. But it will only take one extremist to assassinate him.
*~Pearl Jam will be blasted from speakers until morale improves~*
Man you Americans seriously need to get you shit together.
Your economy is a fucking disaster, i would think this should be the focus of the Republicans platform. BUT oh no all we hear about about is accusations that Obama is a Muslim and therefore he must be Terrorist.
I am embarrassed to be your neighbour.
"it feels like it's the end of the world and we all got a good seat. you know -- step right up, get your tickets...here we go."
Man you Americans seriously need to get you shit together.
Your economy is a fucking disaster, i would think this should be the focus of the Republicans platform. BUT oh no all we hear about about is accusations that Obama is a Muslim and therefore he must be Terrorist.
I am embarrassed to be your neighbour.
You're just angry because we take away all your pro teams......
But all joking aside, this petty BS is part of any election no matter where you go. People in general are easy to sway in the masses, no political system is free from this BS.
when Obama wins the election it will be 2 months before he takes office....that will give America some time to recover from the negative campaigns....
Throw in Christmas and maybe some economic recovery and it will be all ok
If he wins there will be a black muslim terrorist in the white house. I don't think the idiots who actually believe he's muslim or a terrorist will change their minds. If they had anything resembling a properly functioning brain they would have realised Obama is not muslim, nor a terrorist long ago.
To my mind, these opinions are not based on negative campaigns and false facts, these opinions are based on hatred, ignorance, racism, fear... and facts and truth can do little to sway them into change their minds.
I make no bones about my dislike of obama and that i will not vote for him.
However the stuff going around now seems so outrageous one has to wonder where it stops, and whats the end result?
It seems from the Youtube interviews of Mccain supporters and just the whole "fox news" mentality is this: Obama is a muslim and a terrorist supporter. That he is a radical.
To these people, thats a fact. No one can prove them wrong because they believe these are facts.
Thats why I dont think Obama will win. There are thousands maybe millions of people who think obama is a muslim and a terrorist supporter. Millions more who are racist and will not vote for him, solely on the fact his skin tone is dark.
I think also, if he does get elected, as I stated in previous threads and posts, sadly alot of people, will want him dead.
If people are shouting "kill" "bomb" and "off with his head", and people are "scared" of a obama presidency, just think the mayhem that will ensue if he gets into the white house.
As I said, I dont support obama, he isnt a candidate I like. That said he isnt a muslim, or terrorist lover.
I like you am not an Obama supporter but I see it a bit differently. All those people foaming at the mouthes rabid like where never going to vote for Obama. They are firmly entrenched in the Republican base. Those images of people yelling terrorists and kill him will do little in swaying undecided voters. If anything it will scare these voters away. I don't blame McCain for the words and actions of his followers but he needs to get a handle on it because it could end up hurt his chances. His base is already shored up and he needs to focus on the undecided voter. He need to go out there and convince these voters that he is the man for the job. he needs to instill confidence in the people, something that Obama hasn't done either. He also needs to tone down Palin's rhetoric as well. This election is not going to be won by mudslinging. The economy and the markets are too big of an issue and McCain, if he wants to win, needs to tell the Rovians in his campaign to step aside and let him be the John McCain we saw in 2000.

i agree.
my fear is that the sway voters won't research and see the facts. they will vote on the BS mudslinging.

Comments
Good point, no Muslims running for office from what we can tell. HOWEVER, religion is something to be considered when voting. Look at the last 8 years. Bush's foreign policy has been largely based on his faith. He has said it himself. I'm pretty sure that Bush even said God told him what to do, which wars were right to fight. Obama, nor McCain I don't think would be as extreme with religion as Bush has been. Sarah Palin, that's another story.
Who said my heart wasn't focused on the homefront?
to the person apologizing to the to the muslims for the ugly american...
that would be me.
Are you somehow trying to insinuate that i am not loyal enough to America?
You like to make assumptions about people? I can do that too..
I bet your from the South....
Truly, I don't understand people who think Obama is a Muslim. I wonder if they really do (which seriously raises issues regarding these people's sanity), or if they're so bent on making political hay they don't care if what they say is true or not...it's just a good rallying call for the bottom of the barrel element of John McCain's base. Either way, it's a sad commentary on our times.

I'm not the Pope, but I was raised in a household that had a Catholic in it. By some people's "reasoning," I guess I'm the first female Pope whether I want to own up to it or not.
There will be riots if another republican is elected. They've fucked us over for 8 years now, put into 2 wars (that we know about), and have turned the economy into levels not seen since 1920, circa the great depression. They've shit on labor, destroyed unions, lowered (yes lowered) minimum wage, and have put very little effort into backing the epa, among taking away countless rights, and shredding the constitution.
Having said that I am not partisan, and see very little difference between the dems and republicans.
However, I will give Obama a chance, 4 years in the whitehouse. And he will be elected by the way, your intel seems to be a bit removed from reality. But after those 4 years, if nothing changes, you will see that I am not the only who will have given up on the American electoral system. And we will find a way to make ourselves be heard. try to silence the voiceless, after all this shit. Try.

SALEM -- A public memorial service for Marc "Ted" Winters, an aide to two
governors and husband of state Sen. Jackie Winters, will be at 2 p.m.
Friday, Sept. 5, in the Senate chambers at the Oregon Capitol.
Winters died Tuesday at age 84.
Winters worked for state government for 15 years, including seven years as
staff to former Govs. Tom McCall and Bob Straub.

During the McCall administration, he served as director of the state
Economic Opportunity Office. He helped to establish the Housing Division,
which later became the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department.
As a private citizen, he founded MAJAC Institute and New Life Christian
Network Inc., a post-prison ministry. Along with his wife, Winters fed
"Jackie's Ribs" in their restaurants and at cook-offs.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Family Building Blocks
or the Yatima Group Fund, both nonprofits in Salem.

Ok, so the 7th of October is the thing in common. I get that.
I'm lost. I want my phone call.
research do we already know? Harold Blauer, the tennis pro who was
killed. Frank Olson who was killed because he jumped through a window
because he took LSD mixed with Cointro by Sidney Gottlieb,
administrative Head of MKULTRA who I talked to on the telephone. When
was the Olson family compensated? He died in 1955 or something. They
were compensated by the President in 1977 I think it was. The reason the
wife and surviving children figured that in fact this was not a simple
suicide was they read the Rockefeller Report on CIA activities published
in 1975 in which the case was described without him being named. So,
they are reading the Rockefeller Report, and they realize their
husband/father was actually killed by experimental LSD and they are
compensated for 3/4 of a million dollars. One of the people who
testified at the Committee hearings at the S enate in 1975 was a
technician for Amadeo Morazzi who was the guy who w as the Head of
Edgeware Arsenal where Paul Hawk got his LSD and mescaline from who was
funded by the Air Force while he was at the University of Minnesota.
His research assistant whose name is Mary Ray(sp) was given a dose of
experimental LSD which resulted in an acute psychotic state for which
she was admitted to hospital for which I have her medical records, and I
am in contact with her lawyer and I am going to go up and get her story
in more detail. She talks about a room that was involved in the LSD
research called "The Leaf Room" so when you were on your LSD trip that
was administered by Amadeo Morazzi you were taken into the Leaf Room
which was a room where all surfaces of the room were totally covered
with leaves. This is weird stuff. She also was connected into a bunch
of other stuff. I am not going to go into all of it, because it is a
little weird, but it is two hops from Mary Ray to Iran Contra. So she is
a real person who exists. I know her lawyer. I talked to her lawyer on
the phone. I am going to fly up there. I am going to interview her. I
have her medical records. And the way this works is the stuff that is
happening now is not going to be declassified for 20 or 30 years.
Eventually we will have the names of people who were victims of
experiments in the 70's and 80's and 90's. We already have the names for
the 50's and 60's, not really into the 70's. We have the names of
specific people who were victims of the Tuscagee Syphilis Study and the
radiation experiments into the 70's. That's the way it goes. You are
just pushing back that curtain and there's always this lag time because
you are relying on the views of the Intelligence Community or public
apathy ... "it was back in the Cold War" "it's different now" "we joined
the boy scouts and we don't do that anymore". So there is always a
disinformation strategy for wh y it happened a long time ago and we
don't do it now and we are very regretful and we are so regretful that
we in fact agree to compensate these victims. In Oregon there was a
prison where men were paid to be subjects to participate in radiation
experiments. Their testicles had been irradiated so they would get paid
a certain fee to participate in the radiation of their testicles.
Special arrangements were made so Catholics couldn't participate in the
study because they couldn't use birth control so they might give birth
to genetically mutated children ... so it had to be only non-Catholic
participants. There was an extra fee, it was a little bit fatter, if you
would agree to testicle biopsy to see if the radiation was dropping the
sperm count. When 9 of these people pressed their case to the State
Legislature in Oregon in either the late 70's or early 80's, in its
magnanimity, the Legislature agreed to compensate them for a total of
$3000 for all nine subjects. So this is the way it goes in trying to

specific individuals. IT'S A BIG SLOW JOB. And when you make Freedom of
Information requests it's like interacting with any Federal Bureaucracy.

The writ of habeas corpus is one of what are called the "extraordinary,"
"common law," or "prerogative writs," which were historically issued by the
courts in the name of the monarch to control inferior courts and public
authorities within the kingdom. The most common of the other such
prerogative writs are quo warranto, prohibito, mandamus, procedendo, and
certiorari. When the original 13 American Colonies declared independence and
became a constitutional republic in which the people are the sovereign, any
person, in the name of the people, acquired authority to initiate such
writs.
The due process for such petitions is not simply civil or criminal, because
they incorporate the presumption of nonauthority. The official who is the
respondent has the burden to prove his authority to do or not do something.
Failing this, the court must decide for the petitioner, who may be any
person, not just an interested party. This differs from a motion in a civil
process in which the movant must have standing, and bears the burden of
proof.

The 1960's saw the loss of the Montpellier Pavilion and we can now see with
hindsight what a blow this was for Cheltenham Table Tennis. In the 1960's we
lost several of our top players and the advent of the sponge bat. Names of
successful players that come to mind are Martin White, Tony Smith, Johnny
Mower (who long reigned as Veterans champion) John Marshall, Les Gresswell
(recently appointed as E.T.T.A. coach), "Chalky" White and Derek Grant.
This brings me up to the present time (1973) with the prospects for the
future looking brighter than for some years. Players such as David Harvey,
Bob Thornton, Malcolm Green and Peter Slack should show that the fact that
both the men's and the Junior teams, who won their divisions of the Midland
league last season, was no flash in the pan.
I am afraid that I have just scratched the surface in going over these 50
years. I have had to omit many personalities and many events, but I trust
that these few words have illustrated what great progress has been made from
small beginnings. But one must remember that the players who do not make the
headlines, and the teams who have not won honours are the backbone of our
Association. Finally we must not forget the many officials who, over the
years, have given so freely of their time. All have played a part in the
progress we have achieved over these 50 years.
We are extremely grateful to Ron for providing such an insight to our game
in Cheltenham during those formative years. (Stan Johnstone commenting).
Table Tennis or Ping Pong, as it was first known and played in the 19th
century, never really appeared in its present form until an Englishman,
James Gibb, a prominent athlete, while visiting the USA in 1900 brought back
some coloured plastic balls which he had noticed were children's playthings.
It must have occurred to him that these would be better to use for the new
Parlour game of "Ping Pong" than a child's rubber ball which had been mainly
used up to that date?
Gerald Gurney's book 'Table Tennis - The Early Years', which is perhaps the
best authority on how the game developed, states that celluloid balls were
first introduced about 1900, and it would seem that, ever since, the game
has been attractive to countless generations of youngsters and parents who
always sought to control that bouncing ball. Yet for something like 20
years the game remained in the doldrums and one must ask why this should be
so? Ron gives us many of the answers because we may say with some conviction
that it must have been played with a great deal of interest in Cheltenham
prior to 1923, as when a National tournament was organised by the Daily
Mirror in that year there were more than 30,000 entrants across the UK. Wow!
Yet this must have been only the tip of the iceberg as these are only the
one's who fancied their chances.
Ron tells us that the Cheltenham Ping Pong Association was formed in January
1923 and this fits in with our scant knowledge that the above tournament was
played in 40 areas, from February to May 1923, the finals being played in
London.
On the question of rules we may say that the (English) T.T.A. had
formulated some rules largely due to the efforts of Ivor Montagu, son of
Lord and Lady Swaythling He also changed the name from the Ping Pong
Association to the Table Tennis Association, but it was not until 1926 that
the I.T.T.F. got into the act. They currently represent 186 Affiliated
Associations.
It was interesting to read from those early days that the results of matches
depended on the total number of points scored by a team.
With reference to the old venue of Montpellier Pavilion which served
Cheltenham so well in the past! Venue's have always been a problem over the
years to our C.T.T.A. Committees and Peter Cruwys must take much of the
credit for linking us with our present magnificent venue at the Cheltenham
College. This has meant having to adapt our playing habits to our new
circumstances, where so many teams play their matches at the same venue, but
there is nothing in the rules that prevents any team from having its own
venue providing the conditions are suitable.
How Table Tennis Began
Table tennis was invented in England at the end of the 19 th century as a
parlour game based on lawn tennis. The earliest bats were made from
parchment stretched on a
frame - the distinctive sound made by a ball hitting these hollow drums
inspired the name 'ping pong', but early versions of the game were also
marketed as 'Gossima' and

And even if he is 100% Muslim, the Muslims that attacked us were extremist, so I wouldn’t see what the big deal would be. Every group has extremists that could ruin it for the whole group.
I think USA is willing to elect an African American as our leader. But it will only take one extremist to assassinate him.
Throw in Christmas and maybe some economic recovery and it will be all ok
Your economy is a fucking disaster, i would think this should be the focus of the Republicans platform. BUT oh no all we hear about about is accusations that Obama is a Muslim and therefore he must be Terrorist.
I am embarrassed to be your neighbour.

You're just angry because we take away all your pro teams......
But all joking aside, this petty BS is part of any election no matter where you go. People in general are easy to sway in the masses, no political system is free from this BS.
If he wins there will be a black muslim terrorist in the white house. I don't think the idiots who actually believe he's muslim or a terrorist will change their minds. If they had anything resembling a properly functioning brain they would have realised Obama is not muslim, nor a terrorist long ago.
To my mind, these opinions are not based on negative campaigns and false facts, these opinions are based on hatred, ignorance, racism, fear... and facts and truth can do little to sway them into change their minds.

I love the "Hussein" part. It's like it's a nickname they gave to him. It's his real name people, there's no need to put quotation marks around it.

I like you am not an Obama supporter but I see it a bit differently. All those people foaming at the mouthes rabid like where never going to vote for Obama. They are firmly entrenched in the Republican base. Those images of people yelling terrorists and kill him will do little in swaying undecided voters. If anything it will scare these voters away. I don't blame McCain for the words and actions of his followers but he needs to get a handle on it because it could end up hurt his chances. His base is already shored up and he needs to focus on the undecided voter. He need to go out there and convince these voters that he is the man for the job. he needs to instill confidence in the people, something that Obama hasn't done either. He also needs to tone down Palin's rhetoric as well. This election is not going to be won by mudslinging. The economy and the markets are too big of an issue and McCain, if he wants to win, needs to tell the Rovians in his campaign to step aside and let him be the John McCain we saw in 2000.
i agree.
my fear is that the sway voters won't research and see the facts. they will vote on the BS mudslinging.
