    It could be worse - what if he teamed up with this guy (You all probably have seen it before, but I couldn't resist ).

    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      IIRC, the guy in Sloww's post is Austrian.

      But I guess he could work with Bruno.

        I'm not familiar with beach volleyball, but do the rules actually state that it has to be played in bikini?
        Can't they just wear shorts, say, like men?
        I'll research some.

        EDIT:
        researched some and it seems that the rules indeed force women to wear not much and that these rules are completly different for men!
        This is very demeaning if true.
        I will try get a link.

        EDIT2:
        It does not seem like that's technically in the rules of beach volleyball but is more like a rule that most leagues and associations use.
        Probably for sponsorship reasons.

          With rules like that, sometimes you gotta wonder, whose attitudes are more messed up, ours or theirs...

            It addresses the bikini question in OP. No, it's not required.

                    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                      I've had this theory now for years if you've been reading my posts.

                      The only exception is I don't get sex, and I have no desire to blow myself up in a crowd of people. There must be something else.

                        does anyone else wonder why Sloww has that picture on his hard drive?
