What is left from original olympics spirit? How did we reach the point where China, the biggest non democratic country is allowed to host the olympics ? the state where the highest number of executions is carried evry year in the world, where someone can go to jail for stating his opinion!

And to finish on a bright note,doping will be present on a scale never seen in any previous olympics !

what was this Abba song ? "money,money,money....

sure i got you.. :) just you mixed all together and made such a big mess.. why??

Olympic is olympic...and everythign is money.. and not only nowadays.. but from the first day of His Creation of the World.. and don't listen to those who say, it used to be for "honor".. they just used this term of "honor" for making more money.. it was still for show.. and show is always for money...

it's ok.. finish your red wine, get some relaxation.. thats' what weekends for.. :):)
