That's OK
We don't like them either

I don't think the liking or disliking of a country has to do whether one of their cities gets picked for the Olympics.
Yes it does. There is still a wide stigma in the world community over the Iraq War.
If you want to see more effects of this, look at the UK getting killed at Eurovision every year since the Iraq War.

The Olympics are about sportsmanship, unity and friendship. Current politics have NOTHING to do with it, else there wouldn't be any olympics at all with all the conflicts, both military and political, going on in the world.
Show me clear proof of where politics and country relations have a definate roll in choosing which city gets elected.

None of which can be found in that shit pit Chicago.
Chicago IS a shit pit. There's almost a murder every day, there's a ton of gangbangers everywhere, fights, all that shit.
Love it.

You just described about every major city in the world.
If someone asks you if you want a free trip to Rio or Chicago, what would you say?

Hey, baby, let's go fuck in 4-5 weeks but only if the bloodwork comes back negative. :smug:
This makes it the third Olympic Games in the Southern Hemisphere.

"After everything I heard about America from Obama, Why should we even consider Chicago at all if it's in such a bad country?"
Well, He has been portraying the US as a bad place in his tours hasn't he? It's like how NOA promoted Earthbound, but worse.

How can you show clear proof of peoples innate' feelings?

It's only fair, I guess, what with it being in Europe with the next two anyhow.[/QUOTE]
Aren't the Winter Olympics going to be in Canada?
Cool. Guess I should be happy for my country.
I am glad for Rio, but stop dissing Chicago. The area they wanted to do the Olympics in clearly wasn't any Chicago suburb (where the violence is), the downtown area is absolutely incredible.
This is good for the South American economy, and hopefully it will also improve the cocaine problem :downs:

Statements? Quotes? Show me where someone from the Olympic committee clearly stated, "We don't like the US, therefore we will not give them any of the future games."

I think it's more like Americans think they deserve to have everything.

I'm an American, and I'm actually glad Chicago didn't get it. And I've posted before that I'm happy for Rio.

I'm an American too.
I was accusing you of anything. Just saying that a lot of Americans think they deserve everything.
When I was in a public elementary school we were taught that the US was the only country that mattered in the world. And we were taught that we were the only country that had any freedom whatsoever.

Sadly if we got the Olympics the taxpayers around here will have to pay for most of the work to be done. Meaning I get higher fucking taxes. And rarely do Olympics see higher profits than actually used to create it.

Tru dat.
Let me give an example:
[B]English[/B]
You are making out with your girlfriend when suddenly the phone rings. You pick up and ask, "Hello?" The voice on the other end says "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH MY DAUGHTER??" You ask your girlfriend how her dad got the number, but your girlfriend says her father's been dead for three years. THEN WHO WAS ON THE PHONE?
[B]Portuguese[/B]
Estás na marmelada com a tua namorada quando, de repente o telefone toca. Tu atendes e a voz do outro lado diz "O QUE ESTÁS A FAZER COM A MINHA FILHA?". Tu perguntas à tua namorada onde é que o pai dela arranjou o número e ela responde que o pai dela morreu. ENTÃO QUEM ESTAVA AO TELEFONE?
[B]"Portuguese"[/B]
Entaum vc ta c/ a sua mina e vcs taum dando uns amassos qdo o telefone toca. Vc atende e a voz diz "q vc ta fazendo c/ a minha filha?" Vc diz p/ ela e ela diz "meu pai ta morto". ENTAUM QUEM ERA TELEFONE?
