    Wow, that team tackles like BYU.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      This reminds me of something. I never saw a Down Syndrome child once on my mission in Russia. I wonder what they do with all of them.

        Strange.

        I don't ever recall Down's Syndrome kids in Spain, either.

          I think it's a combination of abortion (including late-term abortion) and sending them off to special places to live.

            I actually read an article that the incidence of Down's Syndrome has changed from 1 in about 500 to 1 in 1000 in Spain. Mostly due to abortions following pre-natal testing.

            You might be right about sending them to special places to live. I have no idea on that.

              I recall two of them. I remember because both times they were at least 40 and they would accompany their father (long jubilado) to his favorite bench every day. I saw it in two different areas.

                I saw a bunch of Down's kids in orphanages in Ukraine and Belarus. You're right -- I think they were generally institutionalized.

                  We lived with a family in my last area in Uruguay that had a Down's son - he was definitely one of the most memorable people I met on my mission.

                      Yeah, that was a cheap shot. But I'm not apologizing.

                        Here is a story to go with the YouTube. I spend a lot of my summer in Snohomish and Lake Stevens, I would like to feel that my presence has rubbed off on the good people there.

                          You know, this has already been done several times. Stop with the transparent attempts to get on the ESPYs.

                            Did the touchdown count? If it did, then that's the best trick play I've ever seen.

                              I agree, people should stop doing nice things for folks who are disadvantaged.
