2012 Olympics

They are on right now, all day every day. You just missed the opening ceremony, which was no Beijing! - OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.

Well since almost a million people immigrate to the United States yearly I'd say most of us have seen other places. Most of our families and ancestors came from other countries.Don't forget, the US is made up of immigrants, no one is native to this land. Shit, our president's dad was from Kenya and Obama himself studied outside the US for his youth.Unless you mean the native American's should grab a passport and go see other places? Because the US is other places.- OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.

I don't know dude, the Beijing ceremony was to the London ceremony what Transformers was to Robocop - OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.

I don't think I'd call the Queen and James Bond (two fictional characters) jumping out of a plane "genius". Of course made no better by our humble, Mormon moron shitting the bed over there. Sorry about that. He's like our own Borat.- Oni

Being that, like I said, many of us are from other countries, many of us have passports from other countries. Also, poor people don't travel much.- Oni

USA wins the Olympics!China? Pfft...stick to making Lo Mein guys. Hey frako how Slovenia do? Great Britain? More like Meh Britain. Russia, third place never gets remembered. Lets not even mention the French...did they even know there was an Olympics?Oh man, I really had a blast these Olympics. To sit back and watch America beat the world at dumb sports we don't even enjoy doing was really fun. I mean, I get we are the best at real sports like basketball, volleyball, wrestling and swimming but, who knew we'd win medals in gymnastics? That's not even a real thing! I'm really proud of what we (I) and the rest of America did over there in London, and I'm looking forward to Rio!- Oni

Thought GB came in 4th after Russia?- Oni

Hey, we do it for you guys and the third world countries so they can feel good about themselves.We are in a league of our own when it comes to the Olympics.- Oni

Haters gonna hate...We still won Beijing too. More medals than anyone. That's a win in my book.- Oni

They give out silver and bronze too, if they were irrelevant why have them at all? I'm just counting up the sum total of all the medals won. That spells victory to me.- Oni

This is a lot of hating just to say, hey you didn't do as great as you think. Sure, wow, thanks for pointing that out. It makes a lot of sense that the country with the most medals, the most golds and the most silvers didn't do all that well.I'm convinced. Next time lets do better guys. It's not enought to be in first place overall and in gold and silver, somehow we need to do better than that? Maybe kill off a few million fat, non-athletic Americans, and maybe a few million Mexicans that way the numbers average us out above standards of awesomeness. - OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.Edited by onifre, : No reason given.

Well we keep asking them to lets us send two or three more gymnastic teams and about another 30 swimmers and wrestlers but they have these dumb rules preventing us from doing that.- Oni

Suggest just that. There are plenty of wrestlers, a sport I follow very closely at the NCAA level, who could medal with no problem. But we aren't allowed to send that many. There are limits to the amount of athletes that can compete in a single event from a country.For example, we could have sent two more basketball teams and gotten silver and bronze too.- Oni

Individually I mean, in their weight catagory. Jake Varner and Jordan Burroughs both took gold in their respective weight class, but there are many guys in the NCAA bracket that have out wrestled both those guys before, just not during the qualifying for the Olympics. But we could have loaded both of those weight classes with many more wrestlers and taken more medals.You can surely recognize our ability to do that in basketball - but also in track and field, gymnastics, swimming, volleyball, etc.My point being that, for many countries it's all they have to send. For us, it's only as SMALL percentage of the very capable athletes that quite frankly, yeah, just sit at home watching because of the numbers rule.- OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.
