is anyone disinterested in..
 
the olympics? i dont think ive ever been as disinterested as i am this year [is disinterested a word or is it uninterested?].
especially as it is in china. i dont like the way china works politically wise.
anyone else know about all the foreigners who have lived in china for years upon years and the ones just studying have to leave so that all the 'olympians' can i dunno 'fit' there cos of the high population.
every foreiger has to go.
it seems racist to me. in the name of sport.
i could add linkage if anyones interested i that.
also the pollution in beijing is mega bad. worse than anyone who's lived in the uk all your life has ever experienced. wonder how it's gonna effect the athletes, i.e the ones who have respiratory problems they may not be otherwise triggered like asthma.

i mean this is china, they still use capital punishment. not the most humane of places in the world eh...

I think the olympics is completely boring. Every time. And I hate it whenever it's on because people don't stop banging on about it, at school, at work.

The olympics were in Sydney when I was eight. I found it so incredibly boring, even then, while I was young enough to like all sorts of things. I had to go to the athletics and I just whinged and whinged about how it was hot and boring and all that.

cant say i care much for the olympics. so boring.

Behind the Smile 08-08-2008 05:14 PM

The olympics are rubbish, bored of hearing about them already to be honest.

I care much about who can run around a track the quickest.
Or who can throw a sharp stick the furthest.

Seems a little primative to me.

Dicky!

no ones there to save you 08-08-2008 06:03 PM

i want england to do well, but am not actually that interested in watching it.
what's the opening ceremony all about? it just seems to be people walking round with flags for hours and hours?

__T 08-08-2008 06:15 PM

That opening ceremony was far too long.
+
utter bullsh*t about the oath to drug/steroid-free performances
at least 50% of the athletes will be on the juice.
+
40% of them will be tested, not enough, every single one should be.

that's all.

effervescence 08-08-2008 10:40 PM

it's the kind of thing i'll watch for 5mins if i'm walking past the TV and it happens to be on.
but this year i don't have a tv and i don't care.

Buttons. 08-08-2008 10:41 PM

My friend is in it so i care this year, but not others :-P slight bias

Unpatriotic and uninterested in sport.

Unless surfings in the Olympics now? Unlikely. In which case I'd watch that. Just that.

risenfromperdition 09-08-2008 07:12 AM

equestrian's really all i'll be watching, just cause i'm jealous of them :P

PixieHope. 09-08-2008 11:51 AM

I loveeee the Olympics but that's mainly due to the fact I did Athletics for about 6 years and it was my dream to be at the Olympics.

I watch pretty much all the sports especially cycling, athletics, swimming&diving, gymnastics, beach volleyball and the triathlon.

I don't agree with China and their policies but not watching the Olympics won't achieve a thing since they're already underway and I would hate myself for the next four years if I didn't watch it.

I really only watch the Opening Ceremony (which I thought was good, by the way) and that's about it. & Now I'm bored of it. Though I catch it at a glance, but there's nothing I'm sitting here waiting for. But man, that opening ceremony was great.

claireyfairy 09-08-2008 01:02 PM

yeah I can't be bothered to follow them, s'not like you can avoid hearing what's happening anyway hahah

GoodbyeMyLove 09-08-2008 01:21 PM

I think it's just plain boring, so I don't bother watching any of it.
