Thank god the whole bloody circus has packed up and left town. Somewhere over the passage of time countries of all persuasions have forgotten what the olympic ideal is supposed to be all about; Athletes and the celebration of the human condition. A once noble institution has become a fat old whore with myriad pimps hanging on and selling her for what they can get.

Only four more years till the next global d1ck waving contest, athletes optional. Can't wait! :D

I challenge 828a and one Brit to both create a poster saying how corrupt their leaders are and that they should be sent to jail. Both take their sign to the lawn in front of their respective parliament or equivelant for display and then return to tell us what the reaction was.

Of course we would never again hear from 828a. But at least he will finally realize that there are more important things in life than flashy Olympic ceremonies and cheating with 14 year old athletes to make a statement of how great your country supposedly is. But then again, what do you expect from a country that drives tanks over it's own peaceful protesters.

i wonder this threat has become the one against either all Chinese people or Chinese government. Please verify.

A great article published yesterday in the Melbourne Age.

London's will be an Olympics of cock-ups, but a lot more fun | theage.com.au

It great summary I reckon.

I look forward to the London Games - they will have REAL l atmosphere and huge attendances of people not hand selected by the state - I think it will be a fun time for London and a friendly style of olympics , like Sydney.

I hear this morning that Scotland wants to field it's own Olympic team for 2012.

Also heard this morning that if medal performances were based on a country's GDP the North Korea would have won easily with countries like the Bahamas also doing well.

Also , on population , the state of Queensland would have easily beaten the whole of England , as would have the state of Victoria.

It seems that no matter where you live you can find a statistical basis for a fine performance by your team.

Jealous bigots
 

All these coming from people whose ancestors colonise and pillage the peaceful nations of the east....bah! People who started the opium wars, introduce opium and a whole lot of ****ty stuff to the east.......don't make me puke with your self righteous doo doo!

You mean like peaceful Tibet? Oh wait a minute, those are someone else's ancestors, well actually it is present day. Here is a bow to the Dalai Lama. The man of peace in the face of brutal suppression.

Prepare to start puking.:yuk::yuk::yuk:

Any of you clowns in the Aviator while you write your posts??:p
I find the alcohol helps.....

And stealing antiques and precious stuff, setting fire, killing people with other honorable western countries.Then display them in their museums. pathetic.
