Do u agree or dis agree?[olympics medal count issue]?

Question

metal count:

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/medals

FIRKIN PPLS ARE PISSIN ME OFF!!!!!!!!! ok many ppls ar saying that china didn't deserve some of the medals it got. i mean yeah, putting a 12 year old in the gymnastics olympics might not be the best decision. [ but hey, if the kid is good at it, why not? i mean you dont have to be a surten age to skip a grade do ya?] Putting someone underage in the olympics when its against the rules IS looking for trouble. specially when youre the one hosting them. but oh well. in the OTHER sprts, china got A LOT of gold medals. i beleive since they have the most and the us is 2nd is why people are saying that china somehow cheated. how could they?!?! all those judges where from different countries!

but i mean dude, either way, why should the medal count matter? is that why we hold the olympics? to count how many shiny coins we bring back to the old hometown? hello?No! we do it for mere entertainment and to unify people!

and about the ceremony, comon people if china thought the girl was beutiful but didn't have the right voice to sing a solo in front of those millions of people, what was the terrible thing about making her lip sync instead [the show must go on, hello?]? you know, china was like the only country to include children in they're olympics. so what if they had a lip synking kid and faked some of the footsteps? the ceremony was still INCREDIBLE! i think we should all just look beyond the medals and the faked footsteps and the voice sinking kid and wach the olympics with pride and hapiness. =]

Answer 1

The problem is, people don'tsee the Olympics the way it was intended to. For some, it is a time to show whose superior and inferior. And it's not just about sports anymore, it also includes the economy status.You will actually see that in the case of the gymnastics, the US headed the controversy and I feel that it's not just about the medal but also China being a rival in the economy side of things that makes them go forward and openly speak out.

Answer 2

Would you care for some cheese with your whine.

China cheats,

Brits are jealous crybabies

Aussies are whiny jealous crybabies

and all 3 are cheaters who condone cheating and doping athletes.

They are just pissed tey are not in 1st or 2nd place so they attack he U.S., how wimpy.

Answer 3

What the h**l, isn't' it your bedtime youngster?

Putting someone who has and advantage like a younger gymnats does is immoral and against the rules, that's cheating.

Maybe your country loves cheating, most don't.

The U.S. will count the medals however they want and they could care less how much "it freaking pisses you off" I actually love that it pisses you off.

Answer 4

I agree but not in the same whiny way..

The opening ceremony was amazing, so who cares about the little girl although it was unfair for the little girl whose voice they used..

yes the olypmics is to unify people not to brag about who gets the most medals, but if you were the athlete robbed of the medal.. im sure you would be thinking it was unfair.

by the way, the 2000 sydney olympics used children in their opening ceremony.. nikki webster..

Answer 5

i agree that medal counting is silly.

i disagree with lip syncing not being a huge deal. what if they did that to your daughter? basically telling her shes too ugly and embarrassing to present to the world?

EDIT

btw the opinion of the lip syncing and of opening ceremonies are not mutually inclusive. we can judge them separately and  disapprove of and be vocal about the lip syncing issue but still find the ceremonies awesome

Answer 6

Believe me you guys this girl is American.... I know her. I told her also not to sound sooooo whiny.

I think the USA TV people are highly biased towards their own gymnasts (Elfi saying Nastia deserved gold on floor? Over Sandra Izbasa?) Also I think the medal count is kind of.... stupid. I mean China has like almost twice as many medals as us right? So why count silvers and bronzes (I think taking one gold home is better than taking a 2 bronzes and a  3 silvers, or something like that)

Answer 7

GET OVER IT ITS THE YANKS THAT HAVE THE PROBLEM THE REST OF THE WORLDS HAPPY.

Answer 8

That was the most immature crybaby whiny rant I've seen in awhile.  What, are you 3 years old or something.

Your have way too many issues to care what other people say or do including how they count medals.

Why do you care anyway other than condoning cheating.

Grow up. Looks like the U.S. is fine and your country has the issues and problems.
