It was insensitive at best random thoughts Send a noteboard - 30/07/2012 09:25:06 PM
It was less offensive they all the sugar hyped ranting about xenophobia. There was nothing actually derogatory in her lame joke. It was silly throw away joke commenting on where they were from with zero judgment about them or the location. Now the women may be a carpet chewing batshit crazy racist with a swastika trap stamp but this joke was just a dumb joke and proof of a racial hatred. How far into the land of PC crazy that Europe has gone scares more than a woman who can jump far tweeting off color jokes.

If that's how the country wants to run itself - 25/07/2012 11:13:04 PM 843 Views

I fail to see how the whole team would be thrown out. - 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* - 26/07/2012 12:43:39 AM 445 Views
Well, that's absurd. - 26/07/2012 01:09:41 AM 915 Views

I'm not the one deciding. - 26/07/2012 12:36:17 AM 735 Views
Essentially you're saying "there are lots of racists in Europe". - 26/07/2012 08:28:26 AM 857 Views
That's an oversimplification. - 29/07/2012 03:13:14 AM 807 Views

That and some pro-Golden Dawn statements. - 26/07/2012 12:14:25 AM 941 Views
For me it is more than enough - 26/07/2012 12:32:35 AM 725 Views
It's not what happened to her that I typically waver on. - 27/07/2012 03:08:45 PM 763 Views
It's not a matter of freedom of expression - 26/07/2012 09:49:59 PM 944 Views
This. *NM* - 26/07/2012 10:26:37 PM 404 Views

How is it censorship? - 27/07/2012 02:33:30 AM 886 Views
try looking up the word censorship and ask yourself would their actions supress speech - 27/07/2012 02:59:11 AM 1015 Views
I know the definition thank you. How exactly was her communication suppressed? - 27/07/2012 05:54:39 PM 911 Views
you are right public punishment of political expression could never been seen as suppression - 27/07/2012 06:20:15 PM 1032 Views
Well - 27/07/2012 07:20:27 PM 784 Views

Exactly - 27/07/2012 12:05:14 PM 792 Views
I know you said it but do you actually believe it? - 27/07/2012 01:56:35 PM 769 Views
It's a good question, but yes, I do. - 27/07/2012 02:42:28 PM 814 Views
