Orkut Communities and Michael Schumacher
Orkut has been pretty disappointing for me. What I get mostly is junk mails from people inviting me to new communities. I don’t understand why I have to send an invite to 1500 members of the India community hoping someone of them would be from the village I hail from! Michael Schumacher community which I started has now more than 160 members without even a single invitation sent. Still I get at least 10 invites to everything from “Join Bihar University Community” to “Join NDA dubao Community”. Maybe it is great for software development communities or other discussion communities, generally they are a mess.
Another irate is the kind of mentality of the people on Orkut. Today some guy posted on my post on Michael Schumacher community that a similar topic was present on Formula-1 community so I should not start a new topic. Wow, well there are already thousands of discussion forums on Formula-1, why have them at all on Orkut! What a piece of crap. I posted on a community that is specifically made for Schumacher fans, I don’t think I will find everyone to be a Schumacher fans on Formula-1 community. And I don’t want to get into another argument over whether Schumacher is the best F1 driver ever or why he should not win so many races!
GMail hungry people on Orkut. Now, I have even have people asking for invites by sending messages to 3000+ members on Blogger community! One of them even claimed to be an American Soldier from Iraq who got loads of mails from his home country that his Yahoo! Mail id kept running out of space, so he needed a GMail ID! So, should I believe him or not?
Talking about Orkut and Michael Schumacher, I accidentally ventured into some Anti Michael Schumacher community on Orkut and believe me, I was dead shocked. People there have so much hate for Michael just because he is simply so successful! Even Indians there were writing so much against Michael that it was simply awful. I accept, I don’t exactly like Montoya and I often write bad things about him but nothing I have ever written or thought would be as awful as what I read on those communities. They were actually thanking Montoya for not letting Michael Schumacher recording his sixth successive victory of the season last race! And thinking about that I even have this feeling that even FIA do not want Michael to win so much. Of course they have financial reasons but to keep continuously making various changes to rules (and maybe by naming the Monte Carlo accident as a racing incident) so as to make it tougher for Ferrari to be as successful as they are is simply pathetic.
Maybe the pro Michael feeling is stronger than anti Michael feeling that he came back to his usual winning ways today to win him home race. And he had two instances when he came near Montoya’s car. Thank god, Juan Pablo had completed his quota of driving cars outside the races by knocking off Ralf and Matta at the beginning that he let Michael with his car go harmless! Even the commentators expressed fear when Michael was approaching Monty’s car…
That explains something… FIA certainly is playing soft with Montoya and even Takuma Sato considering the last 2 races!

One of the reasons why schumacher …dare i say deserves to be hated
Autosprint(Italy’s major motorsport magazine) wrote:
Schumacher traitor in Monaco
New details about the controversial last lap overtake by Michael Schumacher
on Rubens Barrichello in Monaco GP’s last lap were revealed by sources
inside the Maranello-based team. The insiders say that, from lap 69 of 78
Michael Schumacher repeatedly asked Ferrari’s Ross Brawn to give Barrichello
the order of letting him have a go, because the German thought he could have
easily overtaken his brother Ralf’s Toyota. Ross Brawn was reluctant to give
the order, remembering the sharp critics that the team suffered in their
sadly famous Austria 2002 showdown, and on the contrary by lap 75 (3 to go),
gave both drivers the order to keep positions, because he thought that the
situation of traffic created by Alonso slowing down in front of the 4-car
pack was too dangerous. But then on lap 78, came Schumacher’s move.
Knowing this, Barrichello’s fury at his 7 times WDC teammate appears more
reasonable. The Brazilian was seen as the world as sleeping in the last lap,
while he was just sure that the World Champion wouldn’t have attacked him.
It has been a betrayal comparable to Pironi’s on Villeneuve at Imola 1982.
But, if we see the good performance shown by Barrichello at the Nurburgring,
more team rivalry will sure help him secure more valuable results for both
himself and the team .
This magazine is supposed to be the most pro-schumi magazine in the world.

Michael Schumacher is a lying cheating F**ker. He is a bad loser and the oldest man on the track.
He should retire now before he is totaly humiliated.
I worked with Michael at Beneton. He is a nasty man, he is rude and poorly educated. He doesnt have the drive and guts of drivers like Kimi or Montoya or even his brother Ralf. What michael has is a great marketing machine. This creates the illusion of greatness that all you people fall for. But truct me, this is just an illusion.

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER is the greatest F1 driver ever. He deserves to be 8th time champion but his lucky stars weren’t with him in the last couple of races. But that doesn’t matter for us as we know how great he is. There is no one and there will be none to relace him. The place he will leave can’t be fulfilled ever. For there is only one MICHAEL SCHUMACHER. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL SCHUMACHER AND DREAM TO MEET YOU ONCE. YOU AR GREAT.
