Sine's posts are by far the most coherent in this thread, not because of his factual information which backs up his opinions, but becuase none of them are presented as an attempt to make himself look more intelligent or well informed than those he is contradicting...

I also agree with his opinions, but trust me, it's not skewing my judgement.


although the calling Mano an idiot thing...


anyway, my favorite flavor is raspberry.

"If there's one thing I've learned it's this - you just can't shake hands with a fist" - David Allen Coe

I read about... oh... half of this thread before my eyes, ears, nose and mouth began gushing blood. The overwhelming pressure of idiocy caused every single capillary in my head to explode. Thanks, Massassi, in about 2 minutes I'm going to die of a horrible stroke.

However, before that happens, I'd like to point out how this entire argument broke out into "AMERIKKKA IS TOO PATRIOTIC GUYS" and "YOU'RE WRONG" when the original news article was doing little but illustrating the problem of how the Athenians are worried about violence breaking out at the Olympics, to the point where that violence would reflect negatively on Greece's worldwide image.

Every country waves around their flag during the Olympics - even countries that those crap statistics show are less patriotic. With that in mind, maybe some sane human beings would use a much better topic of discussion like "It's only an issue with Americans. Why?"

I mean, gee, we could avoid the whole debate by just posting something like "Oh, they're worried that anti-American actions will happen at the Olympics. That's ****ing horrible." But instead it's so much more fun to post "YEAH AMERICA IS EVIL SO THEY DESERVE IT."

So basically every single thread that mentions the word "America" turns into a gigantic pissing match that gradually spirals into a stupid semantics debate. Hey, I have a great idea... instead of talking about politics or religion or whatever unholy subjects you're spewing nonsense about, we talk about how it's possible for a group of Star Wars fans to turn absolutely everything into a pseudo-debate cesspool of ignorance? Maybe we can even find a cure for Slashdot some day, eh?

bugger the olympics, let's just have the soccer world cup early, that way the people who like soccer get to watch soccer and the people who like to watch street violence get to watch street violence
