Whats wrong with being humble in defeat. Why are they made to feel they have to apologise to anyone for not winning. Sure, they did not win, but hold your head up, stand up proud and say you gave it your best shot.
Why is an Olympic dream shattered because you only win a silver medal? So what if you are the second best in the world. What is so devastating about that?
A lot of athletes could learn a lot from Leisel Jones on the way she reacted to coming 5th. That is the sign of a real champion.

i suppose its ironic, or i missed something, but in fairness i am a bit puzzled why the question about "if dishonest people was the cause of the worlds current financial woes" previously posted was deemed pretty much instantaneously unsuitable for the iceinspace general chat forum by the moderators.
its alright you don't have to answer, i'm not worried, its meant to be a joke reponse to the question above.
