This is not true at all... If you love something and want to do it, no reason not to pursue it.
I don't think you read the article. He has no legal problems with women, his ex-gf still helps him out sometimes.
I did read the article, but i'm skeptical of journalists so i don't necessarily believe what they say. I read about the accident, and if he's working at a grocery store as a checker he's not a "bagger" as this said narrative is trying to say, checkers make ok money and it's very stressful, i should know, I used to do it for my mentor. If he's in his fifties and able to do that, he's ok, i'm younger than him and I'd never do the shit again. I'd almost rather die. But.., the job is not a bad one from a money perspective.
not true, been some brilliant fighters. Ali said as much in a seventies interview, that they are as brilliant as anyone at least the best ones. Smart men, Cus D'amato said the top level wins because of character and intelligence. There were times in this country and even now, black males are a pariah, but earlier, someone in Ali's shoes would have had a hard time finding a good respectable job in society, even if he was a brilliant student (he wasn't). My stepdad was black, college educated, from the same generation and even in liberal, pussy seattle, he couldn't find a job for years, it wasn't until he was in his mid-forties that he actually started to put things together. Now, I know that's not every case but barring the tokens and the absolute whiz's who can't be denied, that's the way it generally was (is). Men period too, there just aren't enough respectable positions out there for every capable man, it's just the nature of our society, throw in nepotism etc.., and some of us just stop trying. I don't even worry about those things anymore, that's what i told my stepdad the last time i saw him too. I'm not doing to myself what he did to himself because of what a bunch of assholes did to him, fuck that.
the "handsome" and "matinee idol" is because of the era, they called gerry cooney handsome too and he looks like a heavyweight male version of maude. White fighters were rare in that time period and so they got a lot of extra compliments, breaks, even more money than similarly talented fighters of other races. They were all good fighters of course, mancini, paz, cooney and cyzz but none of them were exceptional. and you hate everyone in NJ? Even the boss? what did Bruce do to you?
I think ali was right and I don't really believe that much in iq (ali had a 78 I think) the smartest fighters are doing things that the rest of us dummies on the outside don't think of and can't see at all. Range, distance, anticipation, using traps, feints, seeing patterns and weaknesses, most viewers are too stupid to see those things going on and they don't even really want to, they just want violence. Ali did things so clever I wonder if he was even conscious of them and how did he even come up with them if he didn't cop them off the fighters he watched on tv in the 50's? Cyzz was always well spoken, it wouldn't surprise me if he was actually a mensa member, it shouldn't be too hard to find out though if you're serious about looking into it. Smart guy, troubled guy, did stupid shit like a lot of smart people.
what impact does iq have on route learning?
I don't Know man. I respect his story and all. 1 thing I will never do is pull the race card. Full disclosure, I am Indian-American. I was born in India, but parents came here LEGALLY right after I was born, so I am a Naturalized US citizen. I never ever felt like a victim. Yes I'm a conservative. I think, I am more successful than the average Caucasian-American. After all, Asian-Americans, are, on average The Highest Paid, least incarcerated, And Most Educated populace in America. Thats why I dont buy this whole white privilege crap. If anything, there would be Asian privilege (sarcasm).
