    Your opinion stating why you think the olympics should happen would be a start, not just 'you're bigoted and stupid'. Its the comeback from a child. You never said this but someone else did. Everyone has their own opinion which is fine.

    Sorry if I have a negative attitude, what else am i meant to think? People pretending not to have a negative attitude and pretending all is well certainly won't help anything.

    It is a simple sideline to cushion the blow of the state of things in the hope the people of GB just forget all about all the crap that has happened recently. Just like the Jubilee was. If people go along with it and go on about how great it is to be british then they are falling for it. Many years ago being British was something to be proud of but not anymore. Its embarrassing to be British now. People in Britain just wont admit it. Its not even about the olympics per se but about the fact everyone is 'so proud'.

    Whats wrong with forgetting our everyday problems and enjoying the Olympics for what it is ? The chance to see athletes (from every country, not just GB) performing at their peak. They work hard, for many years to get where they are, i admire people who have the dedication to do their best for themselves and their country.

    You must have a heart of stone.I assume you'll be having a moan about the Paralympics too ?

    I'm proud to live in Great Britain, even when it's not the Jubilee or the Olympics, can you tell me which country doesn't have it's problems ?

    What have you done for your country recently ? Apart from knock it ?
  • Cant wait for The Spice Girls to make their apperance.
  • Stupid and bigoted? What is incorrect in my post stating gb has no money?

    I notice every reply has been along the lines of 'you're wrong' so I would assume there is no argument as its true, gb is dying.

    It's not my opinion, its fact.


    You appear to be twice as stupid as the poster I quoted and the part that I bolded to which I was replying too.

    Congratulations, you win the MSE Gold medal for incompetance and a shady Silver medal for stupidity!!

    Of course they do, thats why my original post stated noone can question thei achievements. Its the idea that everything is rosey and everyone is 'proud' to be British that gets me. As soon as the Olympics are over, it all goes to !!!! again.

    Thanks for the compliments, you made some valid arguments there.
  • I have been loving the Olympics. We have performed brilliantly and we should be proud of the achievements of these amazing athletes. They work really hard and are at it all year round don't forget. A good boost for morale if nothing else. If you haven't been moved by the emotion from these guys, and what this means to them you've a hard heart :)
