Angel With A Broken Wing Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 ^^ You noticed that too, eh Hotplant? I'd give my right arm to be the Gatorade Girl for Spain's basketball team.

I have got a horsey Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well I've been watching the Olympics and I haven't been enjoying them... These Olympics seem to be just too focused on being a real show-off piece for China and its atheletes... It's all well and good for China to have their atheletes in training schools 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, the Chinese Government is paying millions for their atheletes to do nothing but train, but in New Zealand or Honduras, who's going to pay you to study ping pong? Or synchronised swimming or Greco-Roman wrestling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or synchronised swimming or Greco-Roman wrestling? They may be paying in the millions, but you really don't believe it's going to the athletes do you? Just like college sports in the USA, schools receive revenues out the yahoo by way of ticket sales, TV and other promotions but the athletes don't get paid. A little compensation in the way of grade's being rounded up, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pageforever Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 A few more: My sister is married to a chinese man. She is into all the food and culture. I don't know that much about it. I like some of the food. But much I don't care for either. Back to the Olympics. I think I am in love with Lolo Jones! I have never seen a woman run that good and look that good at the same time! Hot! Then again, I love watching alot of those Russian women too. They turn me on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glicine Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Saving the best for last: Geez, I'm chinese and have indeed eaten snakes and cicadas, but I've never heard about dog brain soap and dog livers with vegetables etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No of course they don't get paid...the difference is in our countries, our atheletes who compete in the sports that don't get any attention also have to work for a living... But in countries like China, they don't have to work, the Government takes care of everything for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragster Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 After watching his interview with Costas, I think that Phelps will stick with sports. I don\'t think he has a shot at politics. Amazing that he still won the butterfly after loosing his vision and had to be distracted big time. I\'ll never know how they can swim that stroke. It is the toughest one in swimming. NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY....SPORTS AND POLTICS JUST DO NOT MIX!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they didn't intend for this to be seen as an offensive gesture, I posted it here with the intention of getting some interesting feedback. link to article seems they have a history of being insensitive twatwaffles As if the English, Australian and American aren´t a little bit racist . No nationality if free from racism. Why do aussies call the european WOGS, why do they call the English POMIES, why do Americans call the afroamericans NIGGERS why do the English say that the Spanish women have beards is that the kind of feedback you wanted , people who say these sort of things aren´t normal so in my opinion I think this sort of stuff is really irrelevant in todays world. We are all human beings and I´m half spanish and half australian and do not consider myself racist, although I´ved lived both sides. I feel very privilieged to have lived in both countries and can honestly say that both are in someway racist because of the uncontrolable immigration, but that´s another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racists call black people that word. You make it sound like it's something we all do, which couldn't be further from the truth. If you're raised properly, that word isn't even in your vocabulary.

But if you haven't lived in England, don't speak for us. I have never heard anyone ever refer to any Spanish female as having a beard.

My friends' brother in-law used to call him 'White Boy' From 'Escape From Alcatraz'..... Black prisoner to Clint Eastwood: 'Where you goin' cracker?' I always thought it was so great when Jesse Owens whipped the 'Master Race' in their own backyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I suppose this is the feedback that someone wanted . I was raised in both countries and do listen to the news here and I do hear things from the English as the south of Spain has a lot of tourist. I AM NOT RACIST AND DO NOT GENERALIZE but the truth is out there. Read the other posts and not just mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
