Nice one.
Nope im at work
Although i can tell people that round 1 of the 100m sprints is on a week on Sunday.
Yeah, it's on the TV at work now, it looks pretty spectacular.
I wanted them to have a little dance showing their more recent culture of supplying arms to Robert Mugabe which he used to kill opposition supporters in the recent elections to force the opposition candidate to withdraw
Or their slaugther of Tibetan monks in the recent protests in China
Oh yeah, and blocking international sanctions against military dictatorships around the world ensuring the continued death and tortue of innocent civilians the world over
Where was that side of their culture in the pretty little show?
The Olympics are a joke because their being held in China

Come on Typhon. The Olympics are supposed to be about competition and fun between the countries, there is no place for political drama in the olympics.
God I hope your not one of those "Free Tibet" hippies ...

You don’t have to be a hippy to object to peaceful protesters being shot dead in the street or beaten to death by police. The Chinese news stations reported that the protesters were doing this to each other but videos from foreign Journalists show differently
These Olympics will line the pockets of the worlds biggest threat to democracy and human rights
You don't live in America do you? Because if your protesting China, you might as well protest America because our country violated just as many rights and just got just as many innocents killed as the Chinese
The difference is that you have the freedom to know about this and try and change it.
In China you wouldn’t be allowed access to anything other than state run news so you wouldn’t even know what the situation was.
I didn't get to see the opening ceremonies, at work. Cool looking pictures though. I might actually watch some of the Olympics this time around.
Personally, I loooove the olympics! Almost as much as World Cup Soccer
I plan to follow track and feild, swimming, tennis (looooooooove tennis) and gymnastics.

The Chinese people already know about the Tibet situation, and they support the Chinese government in believing Tibet is still part of China. Yes, the government controls the media, but that doesn't mean the chinese are completely oblivious to whats happening.
How do you know that? I've seen news reports from China, which were picked up by our news networks, showing reports of a murderous rampage by Tibeten monks killing people and burning down houses while the Chinese police fought bravely to protect people
Liek it or not, peoples perceptions are shaped by the news they watch
It's 1:20am and I'm still watching gymnastics Got ticked because they started showing the stupid beach volleyball crap. BORING.
I also saw some of the ladies weightlifting. Did you see the girl who lost her balance (aka fell over) and dropped the weight? YIKES!
