Wow dude, you are so narrow minded it's bordering in being quite funny! Sure, the equestrian sports are solely for those with cash - but do you really think that the Jamaicans who are currently dominating world sprinting are rich? Of course not! Their training facilities are in fact absolutely terrible...but they persist and if they have enough natural talent they get noticed and then get sponsored. The old soviet bloc countries didn't have money to lavish on their competitors, but rather instilled a certain kind of discipline. For other countries there is a sense of community which help their talented individuals.

so the Jamaicans are in the sailing events are they?
and are you saying that the Jamaicans have the same nombver of people in the events as the usa has?
running is the low cost event.

Even more ignorance! A disabled person is not just either deaf or blind! There are a wild array of categories (with physical as well as mental disabilities), and if any of those persons are good enough they can compete with the able bodied. Point in case Oscar Pistorius[sic]. The paralympics are there to foster the same spirit as what we give the more abled, and is actually an INCLUSION rather than your point of marginalisation.

how can they be included when they are in a seperate event? thats exclusion.

The basis of the Olympics is track and field, with other events being added and removed every year due to voting and/or sometimes popular demand. I never knew class-ism was rife in the discus or the 100m sprint...but it seems that you're in the know on that one!

Oh...the horror! This isn't the Hindenburg disaster, but rather a safety and security measure designed to prevent an aerial attack such as the September 11th attack. These missile sites are the ones that are strategically located to provide the best cover with a 360degree view. There are also others which you don't know of, so I guess that's more horror to keep you up at night. Have you thought about all of the armed personnel that could be near you during the Games? Wow, I'm surprised you haven't tried to smash any SO19 personnel with your steel bar every time you've gone through Heathrow airport. Those MP5's they carry to protect you must fill you with rage!

so you think that if a plane was taken over and flown over the olpimpcs (not realy likly) that you think they should blow it up and turn it into a firebomb and land in the stadioum?

This point of yours made me lose absolutely all respect for you, as you clearly have no respect for others or their traditions. What is it to you that a ceremony is taking place that makes so many others happy? Do you also wish you could knock coffins over in funeral homes? Surely not. Both are ceremonial activities though that have meaning for others, and if you don't like it then just don't take part. There's no reason to promote malicious activity that just spreads disdain. Shame on you, Sir

respect for others or traditions?
1. what has traditions to do with anything?
2. i think you will find most people in the uk now are against the olipics. today london roads are shut down so people cannot get to work.
