If voting changed anything then it would be outlawed !!!

either communisn or capitalismm works for for all human kinds, mexico is supposly a democratic country, and now even in XXI century we all were witness how the goverment pick their convenient president for the sale of mexican companies, like PEMEX someting similar what they did in Brazil,,,
all empires & culture invasion are wrong for me,,, like Tibet,,, that's wrong for me,,,
i hate we the usa president tries to rule Cuba, a country self independent,,,,

what I wanted to say is `if this is the topic about olympic ceremony and if we`re talking about that,my opinion is that the ceremony was really great... i was really impressed.and i`m talking just about that,not about things related to politics`.
i wasn`t talking to you.and i wasn`t telling you what we`re talking about!
:0)
And if you ask me who i am...i`m sonja.nice to meet you !

apperantly the athlete from Brunei (i guess he was the whole team) didnt check in ontime, so they are down to 204 teams
edit: they had 2 athletes. neither checked in |

they are better than Ukraine's. They are on right now and a little tragic! And why are the men of the Denmark team wearing oversized fanny packs? Not attractive. I always like when African teams where traditional robes (or whatever they are called). Its a fun juxtaposition between tradition and then atheletic uniforms. |

Ralph Lauren designed USA's outfits. They look... alright
Watching it right now, they just finished the part with the 2008 drummers and it looked badass. |

Canada's were okay this year. They were better when Roots used to design them. But..ive seen worse. There better be kick as ones for Vancouver 2010.
I liked the UKs. the white blazers looked crisp and young. |

Dag nabbit, no alphabetical order in march of the nations this year because... there's no alphabet.
Slightly confusing, but oh well. |
