Heh. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 27/07/2012 05:53:07 PM
because i'm sure she always lands ass up with her hair in perfect position every time she competes....

... that any of us would permit the purity of our views on core freedoms and liberties be effected by an attractive, young, smiling, athletic, and clearly flexible woman? Justice is blond, and we're morally obliged to come to the aid of anyone suffering censorship rather than leaving them naked and exposed before a harsh government and a media that seeks to penetrate every unrelated and intimate detail of their lives.

I love your typo here. AMAZING.


(Yes yes. I know it needs an 'e' to be the feminine form. Still funny.)

Am I the only one who thinks Voula Papachristou should not have been kicked out of the Olympics? Tom - 25/07/2012 10:55:19 PM 1324 Views
Being on a country's Olympic team is a privilege, not a right Dark Knight - 25/07/2012 11:00:24 PM 811 Views
So banning blacks would be cool if it was legal in that country? Cannoli - 25/07/2012 11:08:52 PM 970 Views
If that's how the country wants to run itself Dark Knight - 25/07/2012 11:13:04 PM 843 Views
The IOC can ban nations from participating for that sort of stunt. Legolas - 25/07/2012 11:33:23 PM 993 Views
So that excuses thought control? Tom - 25/07/2012 11:49:58 PM 897 Views
If Hitler could let Jesse Owens run... Cannoli - 25/07/2012 11:07:19 PM 1034 Views
Yes. Political power should not be used to enforce morals. Tom - 25/07/2012 11:53:19 PM 774 Views
The national Olympic Committees aren't the government. Legolas - 26/07/2012 12:02:43 AM 759 Views
Even worse. Tom - 26/07/2012 12:08:05 AM 803 Views
Erm snoopcester - 26/07/2012 12:29:32 AM 840 Views
I fail to see how the whole team would be thrown out. Tom - 26/07/2012 12:41:16 AM 837 Views
Because the IOC throws them out if the national government interferes in the national committe. *NM* snoopcester - 26/07/2012 12:43:39 AM 445 Views
Well, that's absurd. Tom - 26/07/2012 01:09:41 AM 915 Views
As with most things, I doubt the practice matches the theory snoopcester - 26/07/2012 10:45:55 AM 813 Views
Africans != illegals Tim - 25/07/2012 11:19:32 PM 872 Views
Specious reasoning. Tom - 26/07/2012 12:07:08 AM 738 Views
Who are you to decide that? Legolas - 26/07/2012 12:16:45 AM 901 Views
I'm not the one deciding. Tom - 26/07/2012 12:36:17 AM 735 Views
Essentially you're saying "there are lots of racists in Europe". Tim - 26/07/2012 08:28:26 AM 857 Views
That's an oversimplification. Tom - 29/07/2012 03:13:14 AM 807 Views
You stated it as a fact. Legolas - 26/07/2012 07:49:58 PM 795 Views
Well, it is a fact that a north African could never become ethnically Greek. Tom - 29/07/2012 03:27:50 AM 876 Views
I think any organisation should have the right to choose who represents them snoopcester - 25/07/2012 11:20:36 PM 813 Views
Well, but that's not the end of it. Tom - 26/07/2012 12:12:09 AM 876 Views
It is for me snoopcester - 26/07/2012 12:26:25 AM 786 Views
So...conformity ahead? *NM* Tom - 26/07/2012 12:40:03 AM 384 Views
Athletes taking responsibility for their own actions, if that is what you mean. snoopcester - 26/07/2012 12:44:56 AM 936 Views
Is that all that happened? nossy - 25/07/2012 11:28:17 PM 749 Views
That and some pro-Golden Dawn statements. Tom - 26/07/2012 12:14:25 AM 941 Views
For me it is more than enough snoopcester - 26/07/2012 12:32:35 AM 725 Views
I thought the original ideals of the Olympics were to honor Zeus. *NM* Tom - 26/07/2012 12:38:32 AM 502 Views
I view the long dead Greek Olympics as seperate, despite the shared name, from the modern Olympics *NM* snoopcester - 26/07/2012 12:42:18 AM 401 Views
It's not what happened to her that I typically waver on. nossy - 27/07/2012 03:08:45 PM 763 Views
Difficult question - if you ask me, the key point is a question of authority. Legolas - 25/07/2012 11:40:39 PM 846 Views
I just googled "What did Voula Papachristou say?" and got that. Tom - 26/07/2012 12:16:53 AM 886 Views
Well it seems a bit of an over-reaction, and I doubt the purity of motives of those doing it, but... Isaac - 26/07/2012 01:49:35 AM 741 Views
Re: Am I the only one who thinks Voula Papachristou should not have been kicked out of the Olympics? Great Lord of Chaos - 26/07/2012 11:14:39 AM 1154 Views

I know the definition thank you. How exactly was her communication suppressed? DomA - 27/07/2012 05:54:39 PM 911 Views

Well nossy - 27/07/2012 07:20:27 PM 784 Views

I'm with you on this - I don't think she wanted them to be bitten. Legolas - 27/07/2012 09:02:05 PM 838 Views
Re: I'm with you on this - I don't think she wanted them to be bitten. DomA - 27/07/2012 09:32:56 PM 893 Views

You're really not going to make sense of this if you keep mashing everything together. Legolas - 27/07/2012 08:59:35 PM 758 Views
Re: You're really not going to make sense of this if you keep mashing everything together. DomA - 27/07/2012 09:18:08 PM 828 Views

I can honestly say I would not care as much if she were a man and/or ugly Tom - 29/07/2012 03:29:47 AM 883 Views
Looks like Voula Papachristou agrees with Tom Dark Knight - 27/07/2012 07:09:30 PM 816 Views
Quite understandable. But so's the Greek OC's decision. Legolas - 27/07/2012 07:11:31 PM 821 Views
