Calax Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 It's that time again, and I've been watching the american trials (where a man ran 100 meters in 9.68 seconds with a touch too much wind at his back) and was wondering what you guys thought about the sports competition to end all competitions. I'm worried that there MIGHT be a riot or somthing at the games as the rising levels of chinese patriotism within certain sectors of the population will lead to a backlash by a diametrically opposed sector. But hey, Man I wish that they'd focus on some of the more fringe events (like, archery, rifling, and some of the field competitions) in the world media. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 My Dad reckons the Olymics construction has siphoned off fuel and backup from the Chinese agricultural sectors. When teh harvest fails later this year we could see riots during the games. Ironically, American would almost certainly try to help stabilise the Chinese economy if riots occurred, but US grain has gone into ethanol production. Ethanol production prompted because of Chinese efforts to destabilise and woo oil producers in the Mideast and Africa. "It wasn't lies.

Gorth Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 The Olympics died in 1936. They reanimated the corpse, but the spirit is gone. It's all business and bottomlines these days “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Nah, sometimes they bring a nation to whine about the host country. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
