Olympics

    Does anyone else not support the Olympics?
I mean, there are people starving in the world, not to mention all the homeless/starving people right here in Canada. And yet we're spending millions and millions on a sporting event. I'm not saying all sporting events are bad, it's just that this one seems a bit excessive. It'd be fine if it wasn't so expensive, that money should be used to improve the world somehow, not support a dick measuring contest between countries.
And any time I tell someone that, they look at me like I just said Hitler was a good guy.

Oh, and I was in favor of the Chinese Olympic boycott on the grounds of human rights. I firmly believe China's government has demonstrated they have no respect for the ideals of the Olympics and thus should have been disqualified from being able to host the games at all.

Should it have been cancelled altogether? No. Just move it somewhere civilized.
