We blow at the winter games (U.S.) I mean we're not that horrible... But we kick so much more ass during the summer olympics... I love to watch the summer games, they just remind me how much better we are than the rest of the world... smilio14.gif

What?! coz.gif Jester, I think your showing your Jingoistic ass here. Like all countries we sometimes excell at some sports and sometimes don't. It frequently has more to do with the individual athletes than the countries which they come from. Athough the I will grant you that the amount of money spent on training will help athletes improve, to say that the US is that much better than any other country just isn't correct. coz.gif

I'm excited to see how the women's us ski team fare tonight...i hope that girl who crashed the other day does well. I've wrecked like that before (granted, I wasn't going 65mph...more like 35 or 40) and it scares the livin bejesus out of you...
mountainlust
One more thing: I saw a report on the NBC news tonight about how the US women's team has changed their training, diet, months off, etc, and when it's summer here, they go to Europe and when that gets too hot they go to S. America...How nice is THAT!?

He's from my neck of the woods. He isn't arrogant, he just refuses to tow the party line. He skis because he loves skiing and all the medals and fame don't really mean that much to him. Here's a guy that grew up poor in a house with no running water who trains himself. When he invented a better way to secure his boots to his skis, he gave the information to EVERYONE, just so he wouldn't have an unfair advantage. I think more athletes should follow his lead instead of cashing in the first time someone waves a big check in front of their face.

Take it down a couple of notches.... I was joking... Still we are still one of the most powerful teams in the summer games... Granted we put a lot of money in to it... but so do other coutries, China, Japan, Germany... In truth we probably put less in to it, compared to countries like China. The reason they put so much money in to it, is in fact, to try and beat the U.S. It's about national pride, and everybody wants to knock off the best... and since they usually seem to want to beat us, thats probably means we're the best... So in a sense, I am right, and we are the best... at the summer olympics...
But again, I really wasn't trying to be serious. I am a Jester. So try and knock off a tit of the attitude when correcting me...

I think that some of the women of the Winter olympics have amazing body, I was looking at the ass and legs on one of the speedskaters yesterday

Its comments like yours above that give Americans across the world a very bad name!




On a lighter note Aussies are basically crap at the Winter Games because we are a tropical nation. Although we did win a gold in something today!
Avvilimento
Aye, we won a gold... but it was an Australiam trained Canadian who happens to be team, simply 'cause Canada didn't want him! But what do you expect for a country with so little snow?

On a note related to both this thread and the site, how fantastic are the legs on those female speed skaters? I've seen some nice legs before, but those take the cake! Could you imagine how fantastic their body would look after they've retired and got a bit more meat up top? love-smiley-085.gif

It would be interesting to see what country gets the most medals per capita - undoubtedly Norway - since it leads in the medal count anyway. Heja Norge!

A little bit off topic here..but Somfan, you are wrong wink.gif we NEED more medals! Just donīt if anybody else can have any but our skijumpers smile.gif

Canada is doing alright, but you would expect more from a country notorious for winter. But we don't have big enough population or athletic funding. Oh well, men's and women's hockey are kicking ass(women have outscored oponents 36-1) as are our curling teams. *cricket chirps* at that last one lol.

It's people like you who take stuff to seriously, that give Americans a bad name...
I'm sorry if I sound rude, because I'm not trying to be, I like you Bondi, I like Aussies...

I also like to joke around, and I wish people would think about that before just assuming I'm another American who thinks I'm better than everybody else...

Because if you talk to me for five minutes... You'll get that I'm not, and if you see me when I travel around the world, then you'll see why some people go "aww Americans aren't that bad"...

So really, just consider somone might be joking before you jump them... Even if they aren't....

Ah, but Bondi, I seem to remember the female members of some Aus. team taking the gold in a topless swimsuit edition of some magazine. Talk about tight hard bodies with perky tits. grinning-smiley-003.gif 2thumbs.gif laughing-smiley-014.gif

I am a pretty witty and sarcastic person and I had no idea you were kidding, you have to remember that given the times it woud be hard to know if you are joking or not, add in the fact that you can not detect tone on the internet, had you said it out loud I am sure it would have been obvious you were joking but on the net how is anyone to know it was a joke??? confused-smiley-013.gif I mean I didnt see anything giving clues to let us know you were joking and when I saw it I too was like oh great this is why so many thing all americans suck these type of attitudes.

Ahh, true... and in retrospect, I could have made it "obvious" although I thought the "woot" portrayed it...

But then you also have to consider, people could have considered it a joke before jumping down my throats. Or you could have looked at the subject, and realized I was talking about the summer olympics (which we really are the best at, in terms of metals) even though I still had no malintent intended....

So perhaps what I am saying is that while my wording was not obvious, some people should have considered certain aspects, before making certain comments, which were somewhat offensive... THOUGH, I completly don't care, because I geuss people who took my statement out of context could have been offended....

although they probably would have to be weak willed, pansy's who cry in
fights.... tongue.gif

p.s. The aformentioned is a joke..... Or is it? coz.gif

Basically read below what Di has said and it is true.

Fuck dude if you wade through my almost 4000 posts you'll notice 90% of them are stupid jokes or insults but I always make clear I am joking with an emoticon, or a "lol" etc.

You must understand I live in a place heavily poppulated with overseas tourists all year round, many from America... and alot of them have the attitude that due to size of land and poppulation they are superior humans, and being an Aussie we don't take that shit. We are very laid back people who think no person is better than another. So you must understand my reaction to your statement.

Bondi, don't take it so hard. All it means is that we Americans are getting better at hiding OUR streoid use than other nations are at hiding THEIR steroid use laughing-smiley-014.gif

On amore serious note, I was messaging back and forth with one of the--okay, THEE--premier hotness of this site, and she told me about Snowboard Cross. I watched the final, and it was SO cool! And it just proves, we Americans invent more non-vital/non-important stuff than anybody. Still, it IS cool.

The weird part is it reminds me of a recurring dream I have had over the years (not of the hottie, those are recent!). I'm at a cross between a theme park and a city tunnel system used for drainage or storage, depending on the dream. And some times I use a skateboard or scooter, other times I am running. But the object is to race through a system of tunnel/half-pipe stuff, part above ground, part underground. Very weird. And so, i can say I sort of "invented" Snowboard Cross!

I appreciate you explanation, and will try and make sure that my comments are understood to be funny, when I want them to...

Bondi is barely fucking illterate, like the rest of the Australian population nah.gif tongue.gif

Ok? 2thumbs.gif

And we should all try to remember that just cause some people are asshole, doesn't mean everyone in their country is, like the Australian women who purposely closed the door when I asked her to hold the elevator....

Bondi would never do that... I mean, hed atleast flip me off before he closed the elevator... tongue.gif
