Who plans to watch the Olympics ?

[Jimbo976]

I plan to watch quite a bit of it. I'm glad that we get better coverage of it in Canada than the US does. CBC/TSN have tons of coverage and usually all live and unedited. They don't just focus on our own athletes like the US networks tend to do.

No team is going to match the 92 team (not even to come close).

Agreed. But I was only reacting to your "not watching is insulting those people" point. that's all no more no less

PS: I wish I was 12 I think I would enjoy it again

[silversnake]

didn't mean that you not watching is insulting to those people. but all this boycotting talk when those people have really no say in it is what i meant

[quexos]

great now some posts took censorship, sigh how ironic considering what has been censored

[quexos]

I'm sure it's in the rules no question there man.

I'm just making the reflexion (if it's allowed) that in the end even on the net and in so called free countries, one is not fully and really entitled to present one's opinion and it saddens me

well I'll think about something else now cause I'm feeling down

olympics and human rights issues should not be mixed together. these are two seperate things and should remain seperate. i watch the olympics for the olympics.
