General Discussion / Re: I beleive in God, but do I really believe?

« on: January 18, 2008, 05:53:25 PM »

No 1 can really talk about Charles Darwin because on his death bed he  denounced his theories and called them fake so end of story with that. And now i can c y my beloved Trinidad iz suffering there is such a lack of faith in God i thought at least sum ov us still hav faith but on this thread i can only c a few in defence for our mighty creator. We quik 2 talk and say where God in all this crime and all this bad when there are times of peril but when things are going smoothly where is he in YOUR life or many of the people actually suffering. Answer: no where!!! Please reconsider your negative statements against MY wonderful saviour the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and 1 true God. He is the ONLY thing free in this life and he comes with AMAZING value. Just try him while we all have the chance get to know him allow him to change your life like he is transforimng mine (im far far very far from perfect but he looks beyond my falts and is willing to forgive me). I don't mean to preach im not a preacher in fact im only 17 years old but i can see my decision to accept Christ has been wiser than many of you older than me( i thought they does say wisdom come with age) lol. Anyhow i hope amd pray for a change in your hearts concerning God. Stop using logic it can't explain his existance we can't even encompass his mighty power. Please accept him while you can becuz WHEN he comes every every eye shall behold his glory and we won't get any second chances as some assume. I pray for all of you even dem who don't want to hear me or what i have to say, GOD LOVES YOU!!!! blessings

You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour. 

And dem is dey laws of dey holy book ? doh care which version ya read ?

But it HAPPENS every blasted day and allyuh learn to accept it because ITS PART OF LIFE?  ent?

Homosexuality.....so bloody what ?
Dey interfering with how you read ya bible and how you lead your life ?
Dey interfering wid how you and your god does converse or lack thereof ?

Ah would undestand if one make some sexual advances at ya and ya get blasted vex, but who are you to judge dem and dey lifestyle.....judge your own.

If you want to use d bible in defence of homosexuality u need 2 really go back and study i wud like u to read leviticus 20 verse 13 and see what it say.

We all knew it was coming for Serena i luv her yuh know but she just too... overweight. If she waz in top shape den she would be a contender but she can't play against a player like justine in that shape she may be able to beat every1 else excep Venus and justine in dat shape she really needs to get on that treadmill. On the other hand i hope Venus can win this one. She is in super shape and hittin d ball rel hard.

What do they expect without a proper training programme and improper support. The government needs to get a brain!!![/font] And do some serious thinking. And I have a suggestion y don't u Ato come and train people at the new institue of Sport at UTT. We have got some young fiery talent I've already mention Kernisha Spann and Michelle Lee Ahye. We MUST have many many many more waiting to be discovered they need to hold some training trials or have some sport academy or something like the 'ASPIRE' programme in Qatar. To make the youngsters come out. Or have something like MVP training with u Ato being the head with links like John Smith (the great). That is how Jamica has got so many athletes. look how small Jamaica is but is still competeing with the top nations. And then after every crap performance the government like:'um how did we perform in this appauling manner i think i know but im not sure u know'. CRAP man.

What about Track & Field / Re: Burns eyeing Beijing medal

« on: September 01, 2007, 04:47:13 PM »

Yuh know i waz sayin d same ting. How come Burns iz the same height and almost de same age and waz losin by dat much to Asafa. I waz tinking dat wen i waz watchin him alongside Asafa in the final. We all know he has the potential cause we already see him run 9.96 and i KNOW he and brown can go a lot faster. Ato u know wat needs to be done and I trust dat in de next year or so we will see a totally different athlete. Btw Ato wats d latest on Kelly i just can't wait for her to start runin fast again. She will be a medal contender in d next few years. And i will keep sayin that Trini needs more worldclass female sprinters etc. We got d potential. Ato yuh ever hear of KERNISGA SPANN(hope i spell it right) if her talents get develop she cud be de nex big ting. She only 12/13 and already runin 12.5 and under in 100m and she do d 200 and 400 aswell. And Michelle Lee Ahye she also gud. I tink we need some hurdlers aswell.

General Discussion / Re: Contract for billion-dollar rail system by September.

« on: August 22, 2007, 04:11:53 AM »

They need to stop saying they goin to do dese tings and start doin dem thats if they really want to reach first world status. But at the moment it doesn't look like it. A simple thing like building a highway from San Fernando to Point Fortin has been on the agenda for the longest while. Speaking about highways that is what they need to fix before they start building rapid rail. Do u really think developed countries have traffic lights on their highways and dirt tracks and driveways leading onto the highway like on the UBH and SHH. The answer is NO!!Because it is dangerous. Because they are not building the southern link freeway they need to up the standards of the Churchil-R Highway to fit that of the SLF. So three lanes either side all the way to Wallerfield with ATM system above the highway also with overhead signs above the highway. I feel they jes ignoring the traffic problems in Port of Spain, instead of building car parks continue the beetham highway as an elevated highway through the City centre bypassing the congested CBD and continue the highway all the way to Diego Martin so there is a through flow of traffic and they need to be efficient and cost and time effective so tunneling through the hills on the way to diego Martin is a great idea remember they need to think first world. And a spur of the highway leading to Sea lots as an expressway. Obviously there would be overpasses so people can get off an onto the highway at ease and into and out of the city centre with ease.

All I can say is WHEN God comes back every eye shall see him and then they will have nothing else to say or prove and then they can shut up and there will be no more disputes or anything with this foolishnness. And by the way didn't Charles Darwin say on his death bed that he was making all that crap up about evolution.

For those of you who know God and their bible or if you want to read it there is a book called' A trip into the supernatural' by roger morneau. Read its very interesting you can find it on the internet

What about Track & Field / Re: Calling Ato

« on: July 23, 2007, 05:12:21 PM »

Ato we really need you. Its a 911 call on behalf ov our athletes im just disappointed in them. I know im not in any position to disrespect them or anything becuz at least dey going out and trying and representing our country  and by normal standards are fast but by athletes standards are lagging behind. A ud example is ov today's perfomance in the Pan Am games these are for the track athletes whic is ov course ur speciality.

Richard tompson: 12.06 I tink he mite have been injured wen he crossed the line or somting. Eliminated in the heats.
Big up Keston bledman: 10.18 in the heats(2nd fastest qualifier) but in the semi's runs 10.34 and is eliminated. what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies
Ayanna hutchinson:11.70 in heats but somehow got through to the semi's mite have been fastest loser but then in the semi's run's 11.77 and is inevitably eliminated.

Sasha Springer-jones: 11.60 and is comfortable qualifier in her heat but in semi's run's slighlty faster 11.46 i tink and is eliminated. That's all our sprinters gone.

They need well certainly the ladies need help all have the potential but they need conditioning and correct guidance.
I hope they get it.
If we only had Kelly Ann and an in form Fana Ashby but we must not jes rely on them we have other alent as well. I know Sasha and Ayanna are i their late twenties but some athletes peak in those times even your fromer team mate Torri edwards now raching her full potential at 28 or so. if only you could train up Kelly Ann she only 20 and as already run 11.08 if she cud go to LA she wud be runin sub 11 in no time. The men are sorted they just need guidance.
Tnt needs to learn from Jamaica just this once. Start track and field from school and u know how we like to copete and say i is better dan u at... they wud just thrive off of it. And they need to advance their clubs to be like MPV track club where stars are made. Oh well just another dream of mine.

Remaing hopes:

Renny Quow-400m
Cleopatra Borel- Brown-shot put*
Rhonda Watkins-long jump*
Melissa de Leon-800m
Nandelle Cameron-200m
Reyare Thomas( hope thats rite)-200m
Ayanna alexander-Triple jump
Relay teams*

* - medal prospects

Wappen 2 our trini gyul Michelle Lee Ahye she waz runin gud and den she jus pull ot ov d semi final ov d 100 and heats ov d 200. She is someone 2 ook out for in future and she was one ov d youngest in all ov d gyuls of d championships cuz she born 1992 but she is very talented cuz she already win d CAC juniors 4 her age cat. And another young trini gyul to look for is Kernisha Spann hpe i spelt it rite. She iz about 12 and she already runin 12.5 and below she is really gud i believe she cud be our first Olympic feale sprnt champ can't wait. But my congrats to Asha Phillip she gud aswell  and d Brazalian Rosa. Santos and Ashlee Nelson. Just one last point i tink with all of trinidad's talent we shud do a althete progamme like he one in Qatar called aspire. It would develop our athletes soooooooooooo much we would be beating the world. We already come  fourth in the Pan Am juniors which iz excellent.

« on: July 04, 2007, 05:03:38 AM »

Personally i don't believe she was a cheat only my opinion though. She had a beautiful technique and build for sprinting. It does not make any sense her trying to take epo becuz its an endurance drug and she was always running fast since high school  11.17, and 11.14 an ting wen she waz 15 years old. Even b4 her involvement wid balco she waz already a world champion in 100m runnin 10.83 in 1997 also in 1997 she ran 10.76 and 1998 10.65 at altitude and 10.70 in 1999. And d best part iz dat she pass a lie detecor test wen tested on whether she took drugs  or not! I don't feel its right 2 accuse her based on d fact ov wat we know from other sources becuz dey will always be biased. Only God knows wat went on none ov us did or do so its only right for him to judge her and i hope he does it fairly and justly. It would be nice to hear some responses.

Ato I stil feel dat TnT need more woman sprinters Kelly Baptiste is  best a seen so far. I jes luv to see dis gyul run but wa bout Fana and Wanda , Monique and Ayanna are u invitin dem 2 go train at LA aswel. Cuz i feel dat all dey need is d rite coaching and i believe u can giv it 2 dem. Have u made it known 2 them dat tey are welcom der? and wat about Josanne Lucas u shud invite her in too she is really gud as a hurdler cuz I think she ran 12.98s in d 100H and 55s in 400H but I haven't heard about her this year i think she is done at auburn. I wud like to hear of her being successful in d future it wud b a shame  2 hear such talent wasted. Just like fana shes already run 11.03 in a tail wind just above legality wich says dat she iz capable ov runin around those times. But again as is the case with many ov or sprinters she just went down becuz ov a lack in propa coaching. Trinidad's men sprinters have already made themselves known in the Track and field world it's time for some ov our ladies to shine
