Is anyone anxious about the upcoming Winter Olympics, as they're right around the corner?

Putin will win gold several times and discover even more ancient relics.
Apart from that, you Canadians will get yer bums kicked next year at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow!

As a country with such a small population though us canucks fare rather well. It comes and goes. I always like the hockey in the olympics, especially since they started allowing professionals to play and we don't hafta put together a team of farm boys to try and compete with other nations' top players.

I love the Olympics! Its a festive time the world tries to stop fighting, and competes with sportsmanship conduct instead. We untie as a whole, and its a beautiful thing to me.

Has Russia stopped fighting the parts of society it doesn't like? I have missed that bit, are gay olympians any better than social pariahs yet? That's good if they are.
Winter Olympics has only ever had a cursory viewing by the BBC as far as I can remember, but then as I never watch telly, what do I know.

That whole gay rights/boycott thing seems to have fizzled away I think. I'm not one to sit and watch the news too often though as that usually just has me rolling my eyes and shaking my head, so I couldn't really tell ya too much there.

Did ye notice a lot of prisoners were released recently? The ones on hooligan charges... greenpeace yins n they pussy punk chicks? As for te gay stuff, law is still going through making it illegal.
Methinks there WILL be trouble. Pity.... I far prefer the winter games to the main event.
Oh, Swan... the beeb is gonna give PLENTY coverage... they have a funky, poetic trailer about it... got a feeling the Guinness ads guys were behind it...

haven't been all that interested in them this time round. Maybe that will change once they get started. It really turns me off when all the political crap takes front and center.

I agree that it stinks when junk like that hogs the spotlight manny, but at least all that hoopla seems to have subsided. Junk like that never surprises me anymore nowadays as we all know what seems to sell the best in today's mixed up society....

Still talk about where the funding came from... cos usually they alleged multi millionaires in Russia ain't got two pennies to rub together.
