Well anyone there over 25 grew up in a communist country.

Not a lot of competence in communist countries seeing as there is not much incentive to do more than the bare minimum and when you have nothing greed is an instinct.

Indeed. Those lazy fuckers in China are barely skating by and will never eliminate greed the way America has.

Serious? The odds that they will strike the men's curling quarterfinals when you are there aren't that high.

I am missing the reference entirely but, because it's you, I need to disagree.

You probably already have one that's similar.

Different situation as the Chinks saw the writing on the wall and have been using limited capitalism for a long time now. The Soviets never got that until it was too late.

And the inferiority of many of their products prove my point about greed and incompetence. TRX? ;-)

Oh the irony of that Liberal twit bitching about this.

Going to have that shit here if things keep going as they are.

If he is in Russia he might not want to bitch too much or the FSB might beat his ass or some "kids" might beat him with a giant wood cock and then shove it up his ass! (He hasn’t had that since he dated Laura Ingram!)

I've been to gay bars in Beijing and like most things of that sort in China, as long as you keep things deep in the closet you are fine.

There wasn't a significant hitch in the whole Olympics. They say it was "Putin's Olympics" and you gotta give him credit. The homo-hatin' midget pulled it off.

You obviously didn't see the 4-5 stories that popped up each day about how terrible they were and how it was obviously Russia's fault.

None of it had anything to do with the actual events but the reporters appeared to hate every moment of their assignment.

Well, I'm here in Georgia, where they have no great love for Russia, and the Georgians actually have some nice words for how well the events went.

Also, there are long analytic articles in the local paper trying to interpret exactly what Putin meant when asked by a Georgian reporter if he would meet with the Georgian president. Putin: "Sure, if he wants to, why not?"

The Georgian press: "the fuck does that mean?"

Journalism is glorified gossip, and is taken seriously only by idiots. Pre-olympic coverage is a prime example of that.
