No judgment. Just wondering in forum what it would be like if the authors of the Judeo-Christian religion had chosen a materialistic or gender-less precept.
Alas, that might not have best served their own objectives to the maintain an upper hand in the power dynamic.
EQ is emotional intelligence. The funny thing to me is that the vast majority of people that shout about EQ live on the coasts were people are known to be cold, unwelcoming and generally pissed off. They say that the people in the Midwest lack EQ and IQ and we just don't get it. Then these same people visit the midwest and they just cannot believe how nice and generally happy everyone is!
You are assuming that man is writing scripture with his own ideas but we find from the apostle Peter that man is not writing of any private interpretation but by the direction of the Holy Spirit. 1 Peter 1: 20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
The apostle Paul also verifies this 2 Tim 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
I guess what I am saying is that the problem you have is not with the authors of the Bible, but with God himself.
A quote from Mark Twain comes to mind.... "It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand."
Awesome guys not only politics now let's talk religion GTFOH. Some of you need a hobby or a woman to keep you busy
Assuming El Dub did not mean IQ - EQ refers to emotional intelligence. If he meant IQ - then taking a shot at Iowans was really off target.
No. I wouldn’t exert that much mental energy. Case was dismissed. That’s all I know … where he lands is beyond my control.
I’m saying in general … people spending all of this mental energy on something they can’t control … The case was dismissed …
I just went to a wedding where the groom was from California and he moved to Iowa, loves it, and married a girl from Iowa. His friends who came to the wedding were blown away that people actually waved to each other. They thought it was all just made up in the movies. They were stunned at how friendly everyone was. Is that low or high EQ from the Iowans?
Even bringing up "EQ" in an argument is "virtue signaling" at its finest. Most people that bring it up are being 100% hypocritical as they are using it to denigrate others.
To be clear, if your "EQ" was so high, you would be wading above the "muck" on an anonymous message board, wouldn't be so easily triggered and would be much more open to other points of view.

I normally find you a little long winded-but i have to give credit where due, you hit the nail on the head in 3 sentences!
Thanks and sorry. Admitedly, my "long windedness" is an intentional triggering tactic. But, it was how I was taught. Inundate them with facts, figures and logic. If you have to, repeat it over and over again. You most likely won't budge the main people you are arguing against, but some of the people following it may absorb part or all of what you are saying...
Yep, here it is on Youtube. The booing is happening throughout the 2nd half of the 3rd period and gets louder at the end of the match. Then, during the Dake interview, before he even says anything, as he is answering with "I didn't get to my offense like I wanted to" the loud booing begins. Then, after he answers the question you hear the loud cheers. That was when the rest of the arena stood up to cheer to drown out the boos from the Iowa section. It's right here. Who's full of shit?

Couldn't remember this but the bolded description above is absolutely what happens. The only caveat is that, without a full shot of the arena, it is impossible to say for sure that the boos are from the Iowa section, although since DSJ is from Iowa and just lost to Cornell's Dake it is easy to imagine the booing is predominantly coming from the Iowa representatives in the crowd.
It was from the Iowa section, though I'm sure it wasn't all of them booing. I've been to several years of nationals and met many incredible Iowa fans. I've been to many Rec Hall matches before and after Cael. I can tell you this, I've been embarrassed by PSU fans MANY times both at Rec Hall and at Nationals. This got much worse after Cael started succeeding and the old time football fans who knew nothing about wrestling started filling some of the arena. Some of those guys who know nothing for some reason want to be the loudest. Anyway, what I posted did happen, but, by no means am I saying all Iowa fans are bad.
As an example of how some PSU fans act. My friend and I were yelled at and told we weren't true PSU fans by a group of old-time PSU fans for giving Kyle Dake a standing ovation when he beat Taylor. I tried to explain that, though I was obviously rooting for DT to win, Dake had just accomplished and amazing feat. They responded "He didn't deserve it" At that point, I just rolled my eyes and gave up.
I believe there are very nice people to be found everywhere.
How much did psu fans boo Dake when he Humbled your boy taylor more then a few times. What about when he beat frank the tank, I believe I remember some booing after that one also.
Dake's style of wrestling definitely drew serious ire from all of his opposing fanbases. The funny thing is Iowa and PSU were the only teams to have to deal with it in the Finals(2 each).
However, of the 4, he REALLY did do a LOT of backpedaling against St. John and Iowa fans have ALWAYS been known for going after stalling regardless of how transgressive it was.
Needless to say, Dake won that match and controlled every aspect. Even though he could have been hit for stalling another time or 2, the outcome was never in doubt..

You realize there are people who believe the Bible is a historical book written by man without any real divine direction or guidance right?
You can't tell him he has a problem with God as if that's an indisputable fact.
Dake and Taylor had a great rivalry and of course are pretty good friends now. winning 4x is a huge thing and any wrestler who does that should get congratulations.
Sure they can, if their definition is clearly derived solely from the bible. Now, that doesn't mean they are right. It just means they absolutely 100% believe that they are...
Yes, I realize that there are people that believe that. If a person does not believe that the Bible is the written and inspired Word of God then they are in unbelief. How else do we get our instructions from the Lord but by reading his inspired Word and having the Holy Spirit work in us to discern the information. I personally desire that everyone comes to a knowledge of the redeeming work of the Lord Jesus Christ and put their faith in His death, burial and resurrection.
While you may consider yourself a moral police officer, most here on a wrestling forum prefer that you patrol elsewhere.

If I preached agnosticism to you and others here would you find that offensive and intolerant?

Can't have it both ways. Can't tolerate one person preaching moral principles, to then not tolerate another person pointing out the hypocritical irony and inconsistency in said principles.
I would just simple disagree and scroll on like I do with all the political information that I choose not to engage in. I am a Bible student and it is something very interesting to me so I like to share prospective from the believers side of things. I am not easily offended brother.
How about you call it what it is. Your boy was the one "preaching" and when called out you come to his aid as the moral gestapo. How's that for irony? GTFOH
you guys might be right. I remember The booing at Dake taking a shot at St. John and then Booing. I know the people sitting around me all felt Dake won and was better. Not one person blamed the ref... Around me anyway.
I also went back and watched and forgot about hwo hard they were hand fighting... great face shots
What kind of horseshit is on this site now?? this is about wrestling, and sometimes recipes. Take your politics and imaginary friends to the off topic page.
Yes, just as I equally and without prejudice believe neither Joseph Smith translated golden plates with seer stones nor L.Ron Hubbard's Scientology is anything more than his work of fiction.
But we have freedom of personal and from state-sponsored religion, so that is my constitutional right.
To post a man's writing that asserts his writing only comes from divine inspirational is a tautology of sorts that requires a leap of faith. I have little interest in it. Much prefer Nietzsche.

You've caught me. I'm the moral gestapo for pointing out the absurd hypocritical irony of someone supporting an individual who's been ruled liable for sexual assault/rape, but won't support someone who's charges of sexual assault have been dropped.
Great logic. 🙄
We all get it, MAGAman's screen name triggers you. Move on, find a safe space.
oh god what happened here? lol
Montell wrestled so well and had that match won with 10 more seconds. I also do not think Dake had the two backs in the second either. I had to give it to Dake he did not back up much at least in his first finals.

Sounds to me like you're the one looking for a safe space.
You were quick to bitch about me pointing out his hypocrisy. Must've been some sort of trigger for you.
Nice deflection. What "I know you are but what am I" didn't want any part of that? Tired of you hijacking threads is all.
Dake always felt beatable, he just wasn't. That is why PSU fans got picked on so bad for still saying DT was better when he kept losing to him. If you compared their matches against other kids, you'd think DT would destroy him, but, that isn't how it works.
I have so much respect for Dake. I got to talk to him at the NWCA all-star match the year it was at George Mason (the year after he beat DT). I asked him if he would have went up if David wasn't up there, and he said he probably wouldn't have. He said he called DT on the phone and told him he was coming up, to which Taylor replied "Let's do it"
Just to have the guts to take on the challenge and give the fans something to remember is so admirable. I'm sure accomplishing something that no one else has was a factor too. I also remember the electricity in that building before that match. Then Dake's music was "All I Do Is Win" and that blew my mind! Great memories!
One thing that some people forget is that if Quentin Wright doesn't pull what some saw as an upset over Kilgore, the team championship would have come down to DT having to beat Dake for PSU to win.
