Seth Gross

You can be thankful that he made the US Junior Team and will be representing the USA at Junior Worlds, you can also be thankful that we have a better 133 than he will be next year :)

If he really is going 133, which is going to be a big cut, then I hope Clark puts the hammer on him. Still, he took out Guilbon at nationals so
I wouldn't underestimate him. I just don't think he can hang with Cory.
 
He's not even close to Cory's level- IMHO. I long/want to see that match. With that said, Gross has always been a better freestyler than folk- I believe a 3-4X Fargo champ? So, that format suits him better - IMO. Tough in freestyle- just proved it, again.

As far as what went on in his burglaries, only a few know exactly what transpired. Had he, or the others, ever been in trouble for similar charges before? Say, High School? Interesting to find out? Is there a premis that when someone claims the faith of the church, they are looked upon as a better person? Given a break to do better, find a better path? We all hope so. That is our inner faith. But, what if someone takes advantage of that? It's a slippery slope............

I can't speak for Seth, but it's a common misperception that people of faith should be looked upon as "better" people. While people of faith generally should be expected to hold themselves to a high moral standard, Christianity, at least, is based on essentially the opposite concept -- that we're all equally flawed and in need of redemption. Contrary to popular belief, Christians shouldn't ever be claiming any kind of moral superiority, but instead should be set apart by their acknowledgement of their many imperfections, their need for forgiveness, and their humility -- not anything remotely resembling moral arrogance. If a Christian is expecting the world to view him/her as morally superior to the rest, he/she is misguided and misunderstanding the basis of his/her belief system.

Don't want to go down the old religious debate rabbit hole, but just wanted to clarify an often-misunderstood point.

Everybody sees me as superior all the time but come evening and the Crown comes out, I'm only a little better than average! Is that what you are trying to say WWD? :)
