Are you going to follow them? If you do, Would you root for your own country, another one, or both? Discussion about the olympics, this is the thread for it. Of course, I shall ask the mods to send this to the scrapyard a few days after they are over  For myself, I'll try to follow them as much as I can. I will obviously root for my own country, Canada, although I still have some ''hopes'' for France and China.  |

I am! Dude, the Olympics' opening ceremony was EPIC! Though, it was fun in the household making fun of the President at every chance we could. I'm rooting for everyone here's countries (USA, Canada, Poland, Phillipines, Austria, Britain, various other countries in Eurasia), Jamaica, and Japan. Rock on, peoples. And I heard on it that Vancouver's the 2010 Winter Olympics location. My mom's not letting us go to that one. But hopefully Arashi and Fooz are! |

But hopefully Arashi and Fooz are! If I can, I'll even try to vollounteer. If I can't do so, I'll settle, and get some money to go there... BY TRAIN! |

I don't really care about the olympics anymore...
Our government once promised to enhance the training facilities and trainer's capacities to improve on our olympic team, but after the 1980's, it never came true. If ever we were to win just 1 single event, it would be in Boxing.
W00T! Pacqiuao, FTW!
But, if his arch-enemies come in (someone he lost to before... forgot his name, but I think he was Brazillian or Mexican.), his chances of victory will go slim and he'll probably end up with a silver or bronze.
We got a rookie instead of Pacqiuao... that's just great...
Sad, really... Our teams in Chess and Bowling used to be so strong in the 70's and 80's. We could've sweeped those events with a silver or bronze. T-T
Turns out they were just exhibition games...

The only thing "evil" about the French is their president, that douchebag and wannabe-Napoleon named Sarkozy. Well, with the Olympics' start, the war between Georgia and Russia has broken out. What a beginning. Let's hope that war won't shadow the Games. |

Of course I'm rooting for Poland and the all other countries. I don't care if Poland will win. This is just sports, it's for fun. P.S. GO, USA! |

Edit in previous post... I hate our country and it's lame excuses for education, recreation and sports training facilities. Goooooo ENGLAND! ^_^ Obviously I would root for my own country =D and Areshi... SCREW FRANCE THEY ARE EVIL! I do not tolerate racism in this board. This includes this thread, as well. The only thing "evil" about the French is their president, that douchebag and wannabe-Napoleon named Sarkozy. Me thinks that the racism between France and England is something more on the reason of pride. If I remember some of my previous lessons correctly, they've been at a tug-of-war state ever since the time of Napoleon.Then came the Rosetta Stone and then some. |

What a beginning. Let's hope that war won't shadow the Games. If you knew what has happened before when i've been at France I find them evil for 2 reasons: 1. They were arrogant to our school when we went there, they always looked down on us as if we were nobody aswell. 2. When my friend got knocked down and badly injured at skiing a group of French people laughed at him as I struggled to help him up and all the French skiiers just went passed not even glancing at us, however we were eventually helped by an English guy, I could blatantly tell by his accent. So yeah I have had bad experiences with the French. |

So yeah I have had bad experiences with the French. Hey... we all have them, too. Just so happens we don't talk about it because that would be judgmental. And just think, what would happen if I told everyone what I think of most Americans or most Malaysians, eh? Cold War... maybe... a lot of flames that rival that of Rekai's... most likely... the forum falling to bits... not a chance, but still possible. Things like these are best left unspoken of... like I said before, "more people get flamed because of IMO in comparison to LOL." Onishiba: Nowadays, I don't think there's a country in the world who has a "good" president. Our president got a -50% of those who believe in her in the previous census. [EDIT]: 2.

I agree with mollet on one point. French people often DOES think they are god. I participated in a student exchange, and I unfortunately got one of the worst guy possible. He think he could own my bro in video games (And lemme tell you, I pwned him, and my bro pwned me, you get the picture?). He was acting like a ladies' man and even managed to date 2 girls within 10 days. The day I first saw him, he said ''Look at all these pretty girls (the Quebecers one) I'm sure I will f*** them all.'' But even tho they often think they are god, there are still plenty of people who were very nice to me, which made ma root for their teams. Of course, I also root for everyone's here counttry... (Too bad for us, Canada's way better at the Winter olympics) And last message: I hope for a Winter edition of ''Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games'' to be released EDIT: I'm rooting for everyone here's countries (USA, Canada, Poland, Phillipines, Austria, Britain, various other countries in Eurasia), Jamaica, and Japan. Rock on, peoples. If Rekai sees this, you're screwed. Fix'd Deleted Double Post, which obviously was because of hitting the wrong button.

Mexico Poland is an interesting country, isn't it?
I'm not interested in Olympic Games at all, unless it's soccer.

My distaste for the unfairness in the sport of swimming makes me not want to watch it.
I mean, either rows 4 or 5 or both are always in the top 3 of their batch. There has to be something wrong about it. My mom ranted for 50 minutes straight during the event repeating what she said a good 15 times. It made me mad... very mad!
Now, unless a Filipino/Team gets into the top 15-20 in at least 1 certain event, I'm not even gonna bother finding out what happened in the Olympics.

Olimpic games ehh...? I refuse to watch them. Just a way some countries try to show off, while others try to have fun. I respect the run countries.. (also, on the French topic, I just don't get them either, some are nice, some aren't... ughh...)
