Qatar will seek to host the 2032 Olympic Games, it said on Monday, joining a crowded field and raising questions about scorching summer temperatures and underwhelming attendances at past events.

The members of the IOC must be ecstatic at the opportunity for graft from Qatar. Qatar was able to bribe its way to hosting the World Cup. Not so great news for the indentured servants Qatar will bring in from the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia to do the actual work of constructing the venues. Many of them will die as Qatar has shown little regard for worker safety.

I doubt that the world is going to be able to have an Olympics by 2032. If everyone is this freaked out over the Wuhan flu now,just wait for the next surprise pandemic. Heck,we don’t even know if America will be here. Jesus come quickly.

And the worst part is they will do it for a Qatar of the price.

Sorry.

I’m in no rush to meet Jesus :-) I want my nephews and grandnephews to have a chance at a great life just like I did.

and I’m betting when a lot of these people who want the rapture to come on this board were 20 and 30 years younger they didn’t want it to come either then.

To me it’s pretty selfish.

besides it’s very egotistical to think it will happen in our puny lifetime. And Jesus said he will come like a thief in the night and we will know not the hour nor the day.

He didn’t say “but here’s some clues that’ll give you a roundabout idea.”

Yes they use slaves for construction.

They take the immigrants passports off them and don’t let them leave and they treat them harshly. Most don’t complain because they’re glad of the work.

However this is something that should not be sanctioned by sports bodies!

I agree. I don’t know when the rapture will happen and I’m not confident that I will be one to go. I pray that I and my loved ones will be too. But I hope your loved ones and mine have a future. The way it’s going it looks bleak. If we want a better future here on earth then we’d better be ready to fight and die for it. Liberty and freedom. More important than anything else.

As long as a Democrat is president there never will be another pandemic.

When do we make that stand? I’m only 6 miles away from Manhattan at its closest point but I don’t want to die there

I have come close to too many incidents in Brooklyn because I have run into these BLM marches. I am usually alone or with a woman so I just say “your cause is not mine” when approached. And you DO get approached.

I don’t talk as tough as I do here :)

I don’t know if it’s good or bad that our neighborhoods are still so safe.

It makes everything that’s happening seem less real.

Do we wait till it comes to our town? Might be too late.

I have no answers

And I lied. I AM ready to meet Jesus after 52 hard years. :)

But there’s the youngsters in our families that make me want America to prosper and become a nation under GOD again

Have a good one FRiend

I’ve been to Dubai several times...always in winter.Even then 85-90 degrees is not uncommon and that sun can rip the hide right off of you.

Is that the summer or winter oilympics?

They are humanitarian. They have strict rules that prohibit work when temperatures exceed 127 degrees or something like that. The official weather never reaches that number so the workers are always safe from heat stroke.

The middle east is a S-holes of lies, corruption and abuse. One of the illusions of clean electric cars and energy is it does not need to come from the middle east. What happens when the oil is gone or not needed? The sand will blow and cover the place up leaving lots to wander in the desert while the rest go to a villa someplace nice as long as they can afford it. They all know this.

Let them take one for the team. It’s been a losing investment for hosting countries.
