I bash on China alot because of the communist government but at least they got their Olympics right, they put on a spectacle for the ages, and the issues that existed didn't involve the showcase or the events, it was the surrounding areas that were too congested and it was the two-facedness of the normal Chinese culture that the government had to suppress while the world was visiting so it could put on their spectacle, yet the two-facedness still came out at points and created minor issues with attendees and athletes.

I don't consider it a success to cram the Olympics into a city and screw the people living there while the event happens. Doesn't sound like very much fun to me, even if there ARE no hitches to report. I wish everyone was here to see the stuff Vancouver got right. The vibe here is unbelievable. :!:

I'm actually getting to work on time using Public Transit. I don't know how they managed it :lol:

Vancouver hires the local Amateur Hour to plan out and implement their Olympics. And as for the life you're embracing with this, it's shoddy, amateurish, and totally a slap in the face of the Olympics and its rich history. Hope you guys are happy with that.

Three Canadians who are actually IN VANCOUVER experiencing this event are trying to tell you that they are :lol:

The only thing I have a problem with is that I refuse to believe that the closest available Zamboni was 700mi away in Calgary.

totally agree with that first part, Kerry.
that, to me, is the olympics.
lets forget all the other negative shit going on in the world & put on a brilliant display of sport & healthy living.

well...when 3/4 of the fucking world doesn't have their basic needs met, can't afford education or decent food and clothing, i'd say it's a slap in the face of any intelligent, free thinking person to think that the olympics are a great display of the goodness of humanity & healthy living. the olympics remind me too much of hollywood & that lifestyle. extravegant, expensive, ignorant & blind.

that's why i enjoy the technical blunders so far but applaud our Canadian spirit and the scene downtown.
i could care less about the games but love the vibe & the party! ohhh & i'll def be watching Team Canada play all their hockey games.
