OK heres the deal with horse racing:

horse racing is impossible for normal punters to win in the long run because the odds are literally stack against you from the start, thats why the bookies only pay out 75% of what they take on any race.

but even more stacked against you are the trainers, forget the owners and the jockeys the trainers are the only ones that decide if the horse is even going to try in the race that it is entered for and most horses in a field of runners are not even seriously trying to win so if you backed them your on a loser even before the race starts.
added to that is the amount of false information that is put out by tipsters etc

this is the way it works.... if you think of the money backed in a certain race being all put into one big pot the more trainers can give false information (to tipsters etc.) the bigger the pot gets and the bigger the pot gets the more money that can be taken out by the trainers and his/her CLOSE colleagues.

if ever you hear of a tip in a race dont go for the tip you received but look closely at the favourite in the race.

although bookmakers have a bad name the trainers are the ones you need to watch they will smile at the television camera saying their horse "has a good chance in this race" knowing full well that their bet is on another horse in the race.

As a tall person, i find that most women are about 6-10 inches shorter - I don't think they enjoy "looking up" to tall men. High heels can work but why arn't women taller (or men shorter)?

Is being shorter a problem for women or men?

If 60% of the human males born this year will suffer from some type of male infertility & 40% of the males born are going to be homosexual...(These are medical facts)
Is it not then a clearly scientific reality that the male / female that is homosexual is actually an evolved species of human biology? The earth has produced many natural occuring illnesses, Yes? So along this thought process, one would think it is to cull the herd naturally as we over populate the earth and rapidly devour our resources.
Continuing this hypothesis then perhaps is it realistic to also say then that If man, on the other hand, has created vaccines and medicines to alter this nature born process to cull & keep us from over population and destruction, would not nature also asist the human to evolve into an animal that could not alter its natural enviorment? So my question would be: Homosexuals with extra X or Y chromosones IS scientific mutation on a more frequent occurance and what are realistic ?'s

..and then he broke up with me because he didn't want a girlfriend anymore. (He was hanging out with other girls before we dated, when we started dating they all got pissed at him because I guess they liked him?) Also, after we broke up he stopped talking to most of these girls. We still hang out constantly despite the break up. When I get pissed off at him, he tries to make me happy by holding my hand & touching me, I don't want someone to keep touching me when I'm mad. I tell him to stop touching me, he keeps doing it. If I try to hold his hand though he gets pissed off when I didn't even do anything. We flirt a lot and people are always asking us if we are dating, then it gets awkward. I would like to still be dating him.. but he says that he doesn't want to date me. I just get so frustrated about it all, because when we are around other friends we don't flirt as much, though they know we dated. When we are alone it is different. What should I do? I don't want to lose a good friend.

I'm just curious. Is it true that most guys will lose respect for a girl if she gives it up to quickly? I stand kinda in the middle of this cause I've slept with a guy shy of knowing him a couple days and things went on beautifully as a couple and I've dated guys who I've made wait for months and months and things exploded. Does it REALLY matter? Does it all come back to how you really feel about the other person? If either party was only into you physically and not mentally then it was not going to work no matter how long you waited? My best friend dated the same guy for three years before they had sex and then he started acting crazy and broke up with her. So is it safe to say that it is a cliche'?

Was it:

“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Mathew (27:46)

Or:

“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” meaning, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Mark (15:34)

Or:

“Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” Luke (23:46)

Or:

“It is finished.” John(19:30)

Seems to be some confusion
