“They do get a lot of training running from the law.”
YB at his best. But wrong.
Instead, we Argentines are used to “correr la coneja.”
We do it when there is little food and we run after a hare or rabbit for dinner.

What did Venezuelans use before candles?
Electricity.

Did you see how much debt Canada is taking on to try ( and fail) to get themselves out of a persistent recession?

A great achievement indeed. Smashed the course record by 5 seconds. It was set last year by a primary school teacher ( who didnt have access to a coach or altitude training). Just saying.....

@ 15

Although I have no military background of any kind, I have had the chance to talk to several war veterans from different countries, specially from the US. If I have learn something from them, that would be that you don´t make fun of war veterans at all, because they experienced actual sh*t and went back.

So remarks like yours cause nothing but making you look bad.

Just saying.
