Changing your thought on a subject multiple times over the course of 24 hours is pitiful. At least pick a side and stick to it instead of floating around or arguing just for the sake of arguing with different thoughts depending on the day.

Go ahead and get the last word, allvol123. You've already admitted they were athletes, which was the point of the thread. Since we're in agreement on that, no need to continue going back and forth.

Where was it said that is was based on this?

Selection for becoming a Nascar driver would never come down to this either.

your original quote that I was responding to makes it sound like space aboard a shuttle mission comes down to an athletic event. astronauts are competing against each other, but their final selection for a mission isn't based on how "athletic" they are.

Again, with the making up of things, where have I changed my mind multiple times? Guess you will not tell me this since you could never point out where you got that statement you made up.

My thoughts were this - First, they are not athletes. Then I changed to, ok they are, just lesser ones. Please find a dictionary and learn the meaning of multiple.

I knew this would happen, even questioning the idea of a Nascar driver being a lesser athlete is going to send some Nascar fan into hysterics.

I was not meaning I think astronauts are athletes, just comparing them to the idea that they are athletes in the same sense as Nascar drivers are, if your going to use things like physical and mental stress.

No one is in hysertics. You're exaggerating now to make it look like you accomplished something by getting someone all tore up. We both agree they're athletes, to what extent we disagree on. It's all good. :good!:

You changed your story, and you admitted to it. You voted no, you later said yes, to a lesser extent. We understand.

Are people who play video games athletes? It takes a lot of hand/eye coordination. You ever tried sitting all day playing video games?

Sorry I brought up which way you voted into this, allvol123. Maybe I should just wait until tomorrow to discuss this further as the possibility of you changing your mind again still exists?

But, please, do go ahead and make more smartelic comments to validate you changing your mind and someone daring to debate a subject with you. Pathetic.

Yes, changing my mind is a possibility, I am open to learning. This is an asset not a liability.

At least I don't make up quotes.
