The reason I said what I did was to show how easy it is to villainize a certan group of people. In the case of Germany, their economy was so bad that they used the Jews as a scapegoat. Kristalnacht was pretty much cheered on by the citizens. Hate drives people to do irrational things and support irrational causes. Hitler just knew how to tap into that already existing hatred of Jews.
I just blocked him out. I'm glad there was no big gay kiss or some athlete taking out a rainbow flag. I really thought that was going to happen. When they interviewed that US woman soccer player, they tried it to make it a surprise that she was lesbian. Sorry, that wasn't a surprise…although Alex Morgan with her female partner kind of was. I still think Hope Solo is straight. She looked just as good at the end of that Gold medal match as she did at the beginning. On the other hand I was pleasantly surprised by the number of athletes publically proclaiming their Christian faith.
I'm already suffering Olympic withdrawal symptoms. Very good closing ceremonies…just as British as the opening. The Brits sure made some good music! Glad they played Pink Floyd, disappointed David Gilmour didn't show up.NBC Sports Network wasn't as PC as the regular NBC.
Ryan is a hunter and fisherman. He also says he has Led Zeppelin on his iPod.Get with the program, Donnie. ;D
Is that the Chariots of Fire theme song? Yes, is does fit it quite well. It's been ages since I saw that movie. I must have been about 7 or so when I remember my parents watching it. I just remember them running on that beach with the music playing.
No, that's a different song. This one has been used since the 1976 games I think. They've been playing it at the beginning of the prime time coverage.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPt3AGdwOkELast time I saw Chariots of Fire I thought it was really boring. I want to watch it again.
Who else thinks the Olympic theme song (Bugler's Dream) fits perfectly in London? I'm expecting William III to come sailing down the Thames on the HMS Victory followed by a line of ships.
