Anonymous Coward User ID: 20286929 Australia 08/02/2012 01:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Look at the culture here over the last 10 years, it does not surprise me at all Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20286929 The TV has told everyone through stupid 'reality' shows like big brother, that it's ok to be mediocre, it's ok to be under average, it's ok to be a degenerate As a result, we're devolving back into slime, and the the athletes too Our politics are a joke, our politicians are children in adult bodies. If we were told to do the 2012 olympics, we'd have fucked it up as well. Once our standards of morality, sensibility, worksmanship (what do we produce anymore?) and effort return, then our country will be great again. Unfortunately that doesn't seem like it will happen anytime soon :| Whats this have do to with heard working Athletes.. Monkey see, monkey do You food a horse crap, and it's not going to run well Their performance is a result of the culture |

Bluebird User ID: 730536 United States 08/02/2012 01:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I show you with 1 gold, 6 silver and 2 bronze. The bigger the population the more from which to select the athletes. Australia has what, about 20 million? So I'd say that's a very decent showing.

We simply have too much stuff already. The "Matrix" is actually a marketing program put together by General Electric in the 1970s that slow released features to manufactured product lines. It worked well, and then they included purposefully short failure rates to keep the quarterly numbers up. Think also about consumer electronics, like apple. We all made too much stuff. recently on GLP there was post about a person wanting to escape from his life. Another poster offered a website showing how parts of depopulated europe want young people to move in. The dry crop farmers harvest the feilds with equipment that does not even need a driver. Much less him living in the villiage, or even needing a person to provide him fuel/dinner. I spent hours on the site. Lots of villages with historic, beautiful, but quite honestly, dilapidated buildings. Too old to live in, too historic to demolish, but subjectively, not worth years of my life restoring and maintaining. So, if we are in the information age, lots of it is going to be amoral, slovenly, and in many cases immoral. Think about the jersey shore show, like your big brother. We can not censor, but we can eliminate incentives (Jersey shore got tax credits to put that crap out) Peace, my nephew |

Quoting: arm chair athletes 6608460 They do not earn their way there at all, they get the best training from the best coaches in the world for free and they still fuck up. caz |

That has to count for something. All they have to do is beat Canada and Great Britain to advance. How hard can that be? After all Australia is the only decent nation left in the commonwealth. The other countries are all committing suicide via political correctness. Last Edited by SevenThunders on 08/02/2012 03:45 AM With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible |
