Freddy or Eddie as Teenage Soccer Sensation Granted there is a 2.5 year age difference between the two (if you accept the validity of Adu's Ghanan-verified birthdate), but I don't understand why Freddy Adu gets dubbed teenage superst

Art is by its nature very subjective, and I believe it should stay that way, with each individual taking from each work of art whatever their imagination desires and is capable of. But with art being subjective, how can we judge which artists are good? Simply by popularity, as those artists which quench the greatest number of imaginations are surely the greatest? <BR

Soccer is the beautiful game. Tennis is the game that beautiful people play. I don't think it's part of his marketing strategy. It's just a large percentage of tennis players are pretty attractive. There are plenty of good-looking tennis players who don't come from his school. My Maria Sharapova "article"

JoeUser.com is becoming a diverse place with diverse writers and diverse readers. For instance, there are quite a few who write about politics, but others that don't really care about politics but love writing about sports. Now, the "Channels" help to point people in the right direction, but I think JU could be set up a little better, and here is my idea: T

This week, the biggest soccer tournament in the Americas began in Peru. Teams competing include Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uraguay, and Venezuela. Argentina and Brazil are favorites to win, as usual. But Colombia is the defending champion and Mexico and Uraguay are always strong as well. The US wa

In an attempt to clean up my previous article, I deleted a number of replies and and am putting them in this article." I guess I'm experimenting with BakerStreets idea of "censorship," but I don't like completely deleting what others have to say, so I'm just moving them instead. Hopefully people can start some new threads based on discussion here... <I

My apologies, I believe I mis-quoted the poll. Bush's approval rating in mid-June was at 47% Link . The same poll had Kerry at an 8-point lead if Nader drops out of the race (which I personally expect will happen).

Think about this one... Edwards, as a lawyer who went after corporations for defective products, might also help Kerry take some of the sting out of Nader in some crucial states, because he can play up the consumer protection angle. Apparently, Edward's was Nader's favorite choice to be Kerry's VP. Mayb

This morning John Kerry announced that primary Presidential-candidate John Edwards will be Kerry's running mate. This was my personal choice for VP. I had thoughts that maybe it could be Tom Vilsack, Governor of Iowa, but in the end, Kerry chose Edwards, and I think it's a wise choice. Edwards has the "likability" that some feel Kerry lacks. Combined with K

That's a great success story, Brad. But it's exactly that, a success story. And it's exactly those (the successful) who should (i'm not saying you don't), support those who worked hard, but never met success, and even those that have stumbled on their own faults. That's what loving people are called to do.

The English better? Hah! And I totally think American English is better. We've made it more flexible and user-friendly. I still don't see why you refer to sports collectively as "sport."
