London 2012 Olympics

yes, so why is this thread titled "Fuck the Olympics"? ;)

You may have a point, I think it would be more correct to call it 'Fuck the Beijing Olympics'

• and then perhaps qualify it a little more in the post by pointing out that it is not the Olympics per say but the actions of the host country that are being protested.
  
  

I was hoping all this would be understood, with 'Fuck the Olympics' being shorthand for all those issues.

But I think you are quite right, I will alter the thread title.

[EDIT:] can't edit the thread title :(

entirely valid point. but the olympics are bigger (and are arguably a better force for positive outcomes) than oranges. sure, there's a bit of corruption involved,

The oranges thing was a bit of a joke ! ;P

And anyway you could have quite rightly pointed out, that by my own logic, I should title a thread against apartheid - 'Fuck oranges !'

. . . so, your point is quite valid.

but on the whole i think that if there is an attempt to make the chinese clean their house through global negative attention focused on them by the olympics... then good.

Agreed.
