January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

should have been more recently critical of extremists. My admiration for
Ali is for his boxing. As a person, I admire him for the brave way he had fought
his medical condition. If you go through my posts, I limited myself to
criticizing Frazier's boxing. I wasn't critical of him personally.You
mention the Vietnam War. I believe that war needed to happen. Had it not
happened then communism would have had an easy run over Thailand and Malaysia
and who knows where else, instead of just Vietnam and Laos and Burma. In
my mind, Vietnam was a necessary ' speed bump' against communism. The fact that
we lost 58,000 and damaged the lives of countless others is appalling and
terrible and a tragedy. But the cause was noble and necessary in my humble
opinion.Steve, I didn't call you an alcoholic and a homosexual. I called
Forrest that. His writings reflect an intolerant, obsessive, hate filled, moody,
depressed, bullying, and erratic person. These symptoms are often consistent
with recovering alcoholics or repressed homosexuals. There are text books on it.
When Forrest jabs at me, I'll jab right back at him. Thanks.|

about?"Iowa slang"?You better get your geography straight before you question me
on slang."Kissing up to you",is N.J.slang!Iowa is a small province in
Canada.Kissing up,just means trying to smooth over hard feelings,or trying to
make up with someone,by trying to acknowledge their point of view,while
sometimes being a little over ingratiating.Slang phrases don't always fit in to
the conceptof good grammer.As in,"up yours",which is a gross insult in N.J. Your
silky smooth Italian accent has charmad my Calabreese wife,you know, the mother
of my one daughter and five stupid Irish sons.I am dissapointed and offended by
your behavior towards my wife.I don't feel your talking to her as a brother.
However,after reasoning with my wife,she to too has become offended that you
would infer that all Calabreese are illiterate to the Roman dialect.Your best
greetings are now falling on deaf ears,as she now want's to beat you up.Up
meaning she wants to beat you down.Please apoligize immediatly,or I cannot
protect you! |

anyone, I called your wife sister because the Italian hymn starts
with"Fratelli d'Italia" that means "Italian brothers"... I asked whether
your wife understand the Roman dialect because I (born in Pisa and living in
Roma) personally don't understand the Calabrese dialect very well. I don't even
like dialect that much, I do like the Standard Italian. Are you two really angry
at me or are you joking ? |
|3/3/05 03:23:22 PM|Steve|N.J.||na||||10|Noam,I was just telling you how I feel
about the Ali,Frazier era.I took no offence at your post.I would never try to
impose my feelings or philosophy about that era on you.I'm just trying to tell
you how some of us felt.You have as much right to your opinion about that era
as anyone.I spent alot of time in South east Asia,and to this day,I cannot give
you a coherant,informed opinion about what it did to this country.Your opinion
is as valid as mine.I didn't mean Imply that you had to be there!I am a great
believer in God's will,or{if you will},fate.What will happen,will happen. |

because Ali had a great chin. I have feel that he could avoid Tyson's punch in
the early rounds. As the rounds continued I feel Tyson would get dsscouraged and
loose interest. That's why I could see Tyson being stopped in rounds 9 or 10, or
possibly going 15 rounds. In their primes I have no doubt Ali beats Tyson, but
the Tyson who fought Mike Spinks would make it very interesting against Ali.|

have my sympathy! The vendtetta has already been placed! Ask Kent what this
means!He's an American Indian.That's the same as Italian,since you guys all
claim to have discovered America.|
