The Chinese will do anything to win and as long as we aren't #1 in the medal standings I will not give a hoot for any commies to win.
nah they wont win...if U.S and Canada dont stop them my Dominik Hasek will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To: codebreaker
This seals the deal I don't care if the Commies have one arm and are forced to ride a bicycle to Salt Lake in their 'struggle' to compete.
Win as many medals as possible and rub it in the IOC's face, and then announce the reduction in funding in the closing ceremony address.

We should slam the doors, close the borders, kick out the U.N. and put up a big sign that says, "We're closed dammit!". I totally agree. But how are we gonna do it, when the people we elect because they sound so good in their campaigns turn around and wind up being in FAVOR of the UN and global government? THAT is the problem. We the People truly have no more voice in all of this - we're just riding a hell-bound train that's speeding up, and we can't stop it or even get off.

There's a simple solution to this: Stop caring about the Olympics. Since when does an American give a [darn] about the luge or the shot put?
The Superbowl should be a big deal to an American. The Olympics are just an annoyance, in that we lose a TV network for two weeks.

Thanks,
I'm trying to juggle work here. Great idea.
A tongue in cheek suggestion: Maybe our biathlon team could strategically miss a few shots.

I don't want to care but if you are a Hockey fan the Games are big.
To: LoanPalm
Although I consider having that flag as a gesture of the solidarity of humanity a nice gesture, I can understand the reluctance to include "national" symbols with an obvious secondary meaning.
It has always been thus with the concept of the Olympics; It has always bothered me somewhat, but I can accept the
concept.
Which raises an interesting point in my mind: Who chooses and provides the flags used during the Olympics?
(Opening ceremonies, closing ceremonies and awarding of medals?)
To: b4its2late
Thanks! Anything I go to that is Olympics related, I will make sure that it is known that I am an American and I am proud of that fact.
To: McGruff
When I clicked on your link, I was told that they can't stream the audio till the Aftra thing is resolved. Rats!
To: LoanPalm
Is that French? Did you just surrender?
; )
To: the_cleric
The Olympics are just an annoyance, in that we lose a TV network for two weeks. Usually it's a network worth losing.
What's the problem?
To: LoanPalm;JeffHead
When does the Olympics start again (can you tell how excited I've been about it)? .. ya think we have time to start another petition???

A flag that flew over the WTC is not a distraction during the ceremony to the idiotic 'Olymipic Spirit'.
It is the personification of the worlds activities going on unchanged and spitting in the face of the terror.
To: Utah Girl
Wear Red, White, and Blue and carry the flag proudly. (Wave to me too, k?)
