As opposed to dedicating your life to a single art, craft, or business.

I never understood the feeling of national pride some people get when some freak who's entire life has been dedicated to a single sport wins a medal.

I had a closer look in one of the free newspapers here in Cph. And DK are apparently doing so badly that i had to get to page 9 before the olympics was even mentioned - and that was in a "funny" article about sports journalists.

Total denial is a way to get through the olympics as well.

I work very closely with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic organizing committee and get to see firsthand how they operate. It is horrible but not surprising.

It's particularly amusing to watch from America, because all those buildings our Conservatives are decrying as ugly were built with interest paid on the debt our Chimp President has run up for spending on our 'permanent emergency.'

I actually don't mind sport, but I don't understand why doping is (supposedly) banned when special suits and a well-engineered pool are deemed OK.

These attitudes are as much about voodoo as our economic policies.

it's funny because canada, up until this weekend, was performing so abysmally thatthe ONLY news you heard in this country about the games was where the protesters managed to unfurl a banner and how many were arrested on each given day. oh, and how russia and georgia were faring in competitions against one another. you'd hardly know there was a sporting event at all... hmmm...

I was quite bemused by someone telling me that we'd won loads of medals. Nowhere near as entertaining as watching the folks telling me we'd been kicked out of the world cup again though.

Didn't even bother to watch it at all. I'm so disappointed in humanity in general. I can see why the Olympics exist, but it's all gone stupid just like today's society is. Might as well be American Idol as far as I'm concerned...
