Re: Boycottaru?
All I meant was that it was curious how you didn't actually seem to (at least in my view) address my address to your post. I'll try to reconstruct it.
Glen: The Olympics were created so countries could compete against each other and not war.
Me: I thought the Ancient Greeks created the Olympics.
Glen: No, Greece had constant civil wars.
That's where I go "Keh?" You just picked some little side issue of my post -one which I don't think I was even strongly proposing, if at all -, argued against it, then seemed to pretend that that was what the whole argument was all about.
But then afterwards I did find some info about the games being an alternative to war, but it was about the "revival" of the ancient games, not the creation of it. And so the post came about.

Re: Boycottaru?
Oh, no worries- i thought the Ancient Greeks created it as an alternative to war, and then proceeded to war it up every time there wasn't an Olympics handy to create a truce...
Then again, i think i did agree that the Ancient Greeks created the olympics- but i have a feeling i was answering You and Marc in the same post/sentence...

Re: Boycottaru?
Something i just read (from the Olympic committee website) says the torch part of the ceremony is from Greek times... Wikipedia says it had no torch in the original- who's word can we trust?

This isn't really exactly what I was talking about, but it's kinda related.Marc wrote:Really? Is there an article about that?Andrew.C wrote:But now I hear the athlete's aren't allowed to wear/do anything that is 'controversial' about the issue. What the fuck!?
China censors internet access (or something)
I didn't read the whole article so I'm not really sure on the details. But someone else may find it interesting.

Re: Boycottaru?
I just heard the same thing on the Radio- Chinese public internet cannot access human rights websites...
Good government there!
