There is nothing worse than watching people go around a stupid track. NASCAR is almost as bad, but at least it's way faster and there are crashes. When's the last time people exploded after running into each other? It's been so long I can't even remember. Jackson is right! There is nothing worse than watching people go around a stupid track.

THEY"RE FUCKING BORING. Christ I hate the damn Olympics...every 4 friggin' years they knock awesome TV shows out of their prime spots and I get a buttload of boring non-sports (like running) and bullshit fairweather patriotism shoved down my throat. I hope China explodes. Y’know what the most persuasive argument for an Olympic boycott is? THEY”RE FUCKING BORING.

Most of the PRC citizens are victims of the propaganda they see everyday. As a result of this unhealthy nationalism, “human rights” as a concept is seen in China more and more as a “cover up” for other interests. This paranoia by the Chinese public is very dangerous for a dialogue on reforms in the country. The Olympic games boycott is a similar problem.

Who's gonna boycott that?

Just like we did when the Olympics were in Germany and Hitler was taking over Europe/Killing all those je.... Oh, wait. We didn't? That's right, instead of telling Hitler it was wrong to kill people based on bloodline, we decided it would look much cooler to have a black guy kick his ass in front of the whole world. I mean, that black guy winning totally stopped the carnage that was to come in the form of Worl.... Huh!? You mean tens of millions of people died anyway, wow. It's almost as if the Olympics have no power at all to change any crazy-ass dictator's mind... fancy that. Ya, we should boycott the Beijing Olympics because of China’s Human right violations.

The Russians just packed their shit up and pulled right out of Afghanistan. What? ,oh, I'm sorry I'm being informed that they stayed right right where they were and didn't leave until 1989 and not until we sent the Mujahideen a buttload of Stinger missiles to get the fucking communists on their way.
