Everyone who has a problem with the Olympics for political reasons should probably take their discussion to the....politics thread?! Makes sense. Fitting. There's no need for everyone to harp on Warb or act so self-assured about their own views. The beautiful thing about opinions is that we all base our opinions on different rationales and hold different evidence up at different values. I love the USA too. Perhaps I'm a blind patriot. But quit messing with Warbler with nothing but philosophies on nationalism or patriotism that really have no bearing on a decent discussion about the Olympics.
I don't have TV anymore. Last time I really watched the Olympics was in '96--I was awaiting my high school freshman year. However, I think they're fun, and hope everyone enjoys watching nations cheering on their athletes. It's really okay to be proud of the country you represent.
