Tynan, wouldn't this have been better as a poll:
A: Yes, fuck the Olympics
B: No, I don't want to
C: Don't care, I'll fuck just about anything that moves (and some inanimate objects if they happen to be the right colour)
D: "Suzanne Beware Of The Devil" by Dandy Livingstone
E - don't know. -

**I know some of the protesters where on about free Tibet but I thought the main issue was not a independant Tibet but problem to do with restricted rights within the region, vicimisation of some groupes by the authorites e.t.c
Not having ago just asking as I don't know much about the situation.

Seriously - in what way are the Olympics any more valid/interesting as a sporting event than the appropriate World Championships? Is it because I don't like athletics that I just don't get it?
possibly. as an athletics fan (and long time track athlete), i do admit a deep and serious affection for the olympic games. also, it's maximally important for a lot of other sports, though... winning the olympics IS the pinnacle of most sports. perhaps cycling and football are the two major exceptions (of the sports that compete).
-
What event(s) do/did you do, badtmy?
-
BMMF: my best event was the 800m, but i obviously raced a lot of 400-1500m races as well, and the odd 200 for some speed work. and of course some cross country and road races in winter.
i used to train in the same squad as dogsballs in melbourne, years ago (he's more of a 1500-5000m man though). it kinda drifted a bit since i moved over here mid-2007.
considering getting some sort of running shape back and doing some racing over summer... but probably not over 800m, the training to get anywhere near my best is too brutal and time-consuming. but it might be fun to knock out some 200-400s ;)

yes, thanks for laughing, i maybe woeful, but i seriously request you reconsider your comment that i am in any way racist.
You have ascribed a set of values to someone based on their nationality.
I did not refer to Buffalo Bill's comments as false i'm just saying i sense hypocrisy,
Hypocrisy ? Is the hypocrisy in that Buffalo Bill supports the events you listed ? - Or is it that he was actually involved ?
Where is Buffalo Bill's hypocrisy ?
@Buffalo Bill, we need to know, where you involved in the theft of the Elgin Marbles, you need to come clean.

I wasn't but seeing as Mostar is not so far away from Greece, perhaps my grandfather's grandfather was.

That is enough for me.
Do you realise that because your grandfather's grandfather was a thieving foreigner you yourself cannot make any comment with regard to barbaric human rights violations in China.
Sounds reasonable ?

OK, I admit. I am descended from thieving foreigners on my mother's side, and my father was a dirty copper, and his father was a cyclist-killing bus driver (73 Routemaster).

Platini, that would be plain ol' 'ad hominen' - not 'ad hominen tu quoque'.
'Tu quoque'' goes a little further than 'ad hominen'.
**Ad Hominem Tu Quoque
**Also Known as: “You Too Fallacy”
Description:
This fallacy is committed when it is concluded that a person’s claim is false because 1) it is inconsistent with something else a person has said or 2) what a person says is inconsistent with her actions.I reckon Edmundane is using Ad Hominen Tu Quoque.

Yep, that is what I am saying.

"Ad Hominem Tu Quoque"
Speak English you bunch of thieving foreigners!
One other thing.. anyone seen the key for these shackles?
LOL!
Keep quiet when your masters are talking, colonial trash.

Why is it a fallacy to respond 'well you're not bloody perfect either?'
Because none of the actions listed in response to Buffalo Bill's question have anything to do with him, in that respect the argument is fallacious.
A: 'Look at that bloke beating that little kid up'
B: 'Where?'
A: 'Over there, that's terrible'
B: 'How can you say that, people who lived in the country, that you now live in, hundreds of years ago stole a painting from France'
A: 'Very good point !'The two stand back and watch the beating from a distance.

Hmmm, I am descended from alcohol-thieving foreigners (Scots) on my mother's side, my father was a dirty copper-fraternising mason, and his father was a cyclist-killing bus driver (8 Routemaster).
Cyclists these days are such a bunch of fucking clones.

I was a 100/200/(400) person, and was aiming high until I got a debilitating hip/lower back injury at 15.
Became instantly disillusioned with all sport, and gave it up for 10 years to concentrate on sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll (my competitive nature, which lingered in the absence of sport, was most apparent in the drugs category, and it could be argued that I sustained a debilitating injury there as well...)
