  • The Olympics

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Tue Mar 8 21:48:54 2022
    2008: Summer games in China 8-24 August
    Georgia started 8 August
    China really pissed at Putin

    2014: Winter games in Russia 7-23 February
    Crimea started 23 February
    Putin waited for the games to end

    2022: Winter games in China 4-20 February
    Ukraine started 24 February
    China told Putin to wait this time

    Maybe we should avoid letting Russia or China host the Olympic games in the future?

    And no important footbal tournaments as well as cycling competitions in any Arab or MiddleEast country...

    And let's get off of oil ... send the Arabs back to the sand ... they're mistreating millions amd millions of women ...

    Which brings me to the conclusion that Olympics and worldchampionships football can only be organized in Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, the Vatican, Andorra, the Principality of Sealand and Longyearbyen.

    Did you know, by the way, that the Principality of Sealand already hosted a half-marathon ?

    No ... scrap the Vatican too ... too much abuse ...

    Hello Ward,

    Maybe we should avoid letting Russia or China host the Olympic games
    in the future?

    And no important footbal tournaments as well as cycling competitions in any
    Arab or MiddleEast country...

    And let's get off of oil ... send the Arabs back to the sand ... they're mistreating millions amd millions of women ...

    What abuse?

    Events for priests.
    And events for nuns.

    Who could ever complain?
