I do appreciate the thoughtful and CIVIL response.
Unlike the route others have chosen to take.

Thanks. I am totally for a civilized discussion.

Sorry for answering inside your quote, but it was easier, and like most americans, I'm lazy, uh, i mean efficient.

No problem, rah. Just give me your password, and I'll edit your post.

What ever happened to the Canadian snowboarding kid that got his gold taken from him 'cause he like to hit the weed pipe on the regular? That was kinda funny.

Woah man, you're gonna take my what away?!?!?!?!

I would say the ones where they caught Ukrainian and Russian skating judges (and a candian as well, IIRC) on tape trading and fixing votes, along with idicia that it was the standard practice, rather than an aberation

The Canadian was the one doing the taping, actually. She was pissed at the way things worked in that world. There was also a Bulgarian, who announced (a week before the final skate) the exact order all participants would place in.

All the judges on tape fixing the voting were suspended, and the Canadian was suspended for leaking the tapes to the media and making everybody look bad.

My rule is simple... call me what you want, but leave my family and other members of this site out of it.

Ming,
I think now, I understand what you've mean.
I am sorry, I did not want to insult you. In russian languge this dinasty called "Min" not "Ming". I do not associated you with Royal family, really. When I've adress to you as "your majesty", I was adress to "men in charge", to moderator, I was sarcastic, nothing more. Believe me It wasn't a personal insult based on your family. I am sorry about this.

ROTFLMAO...


So that's what you were saying... I had no clue. I don't read Russian.
Oh... and thanks for the apology.

I made the comment about my "simple rule" to highlight what is and what isn't against my rules. It really wasn't directed at you, or your comments... so really... no problem.

Don't make me laugh. I think you are the world's champions in that.

Figure skating - Your filthy bolshevik judges were found cheating with the French. The French judge admitted to being pressured into voting for the Russians in exchange for the same treatment on their end (leave it to the French to pull something like that). Her vote was legally thrown out, and the results were changed accordingly.

She agreed also that she was under pressure of Canadians, not only Russians.

Every civilized nation on the face of the earth has supported these actions against your faltering, pathetic, excuse ridden, "hard done by" country. The only ones to protest these logical decisions have been yourselves, the Russians.

I don't know how much simpler it gets than this - So if you don't understand, please go back to your thin borsch stew and continue your malnurished state of paranoid and delusional thinking in silence.

Ming,
Is it a nationalistic insult? Look's like he want to said that Russians are not civilized people.

That's actually not bad considering what people say about America all the time around here...

Look... that's really mild. And low level flaming will continue on this site. We stop the over the board stuff, and try to keep things from getting out of hand. Many of the issues being discussed here are very emotional. (as can be seen with your support of your athletes in this thread)... so again... we would probably have to ban everybody, and close most of the threads if barbs being traded back forth was reason enough.

I hear what you say... if it continues, yes, it will be a problem. But until then...
Again... look at some of the Anti American threads and see what we put up with most of the time

She agreed also that she was under pressure of Canadians, not only Russians

A week after she made the original statement and she realised how badly she'd ****ed herself over by saying it. BTW, she never made a statement against the Russians directly; she said her own federation had told her how to vote, then later changed her story and said the the French skating fed. hadn't said anything to her, but that Canadian officials had made professional and physical threats against her.

I has no problem with this. I've just want to point that not only Russians might be very emotional in their posts.

Do you agreed that big sport always was a dirty thing?

Not always by any means, and when somebody like that judge makes it sufficiently obvious even to the sleazesters that run the Fig. Skating Assoc. that there was impropriety involved, they have to do something. Otherwise we just throw up our hands.

But in general? Do you deny that every country lobby it's self-interests, and sometimes using any means, including dirty means?

That they lobby for their own self=interests... sure they do. I would expect no different... as far as using any means, including dirty means.. NO... absolutely not.

Are their individuals in every country who might... yeah... athletes are humans too. But no, I don't think every or many countries will use any means just for a sports victory.

Now, if you want to talk war
