Note that I know you secretly wish you were American and have a genuinely creepy obsession with right-wing Americans, and because I know you are mentally challenged I feel I must spell this out to you.
I just want to repeat my giant "**** you" to you for trying to politicize this. This has **** all to do with Israel, take your agenda and shove it, Winston.

Winston, I've created a thread for you to continue whining about Israel in so you can leave this one alone: http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?p=5750796"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I know very well what happened in Munich, and just last month I watched "Munich". Who the **** doesn't know about that? Further still, if I was referring to terrorism related to the Olympics I could also have talked about Atlanta's bombing, which wasn't too long ago.
If you continue to have difficulty with this ****ing basic distinction, keep it to yourself. You made yourself clear -- people died in Munich decades ago in an act of terrorism. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. Now move on. Christ."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Athlete Deaths Rare During Olympics
From Sunstroke to Ski Crashes, at Least 5 Other Olympians Have Died Before Training Accident Claimed Georgian Luger
A Georgian luger's death hours before Friday's opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics adds another name to the brief list of athletes who died during the Games.
Nodar Kumaritashvili died Friday after a crash while training in Vancouver. At least five other Olympians have died during the quadrennial meeting of the world's greatest athletes.
Two athletes - including a luger - died while training at the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Olympics, historian David Wallechinsky told The (Montreal) Gazette. Kazimierz Kay-Skrzypeski, a Polish-born British luger, died while training on the Olympic course in Austria two weeks before the opening ceremony, Wallechinsky told the newspaper. Also at the '64 Games, Ross Milne, a 19-year-old Australian downhill racer, died after slamming into a tree when he flew off course during a training run.
During the 1992 Albertville Games, Swiss speed skier Nicolas Bochatay died after colliding with a snow-grooming machine during a practice run.
In competition during the Summer Games, Knut Jensen, a Danish cyclist, died after fracturing his skull when he collapsed during a road race at the 1960 Rome Olympics. It was found that Jensen took stimulants before the race, Wallechinsky told the newspaper. In Sweden's 1912 Olympics, Francisco Lazaro, a 21-year-old marathon runner representing Portugal, died a day after he collapsed from sunstroke and heart trouble.
To be sure, Olympians don't die only from accidents on the playing field. During the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Palestinian terrorist group Black September killed 11 members of Israel's team after holding them hostage.
Do you need more help understanding this? I suggest you PM someone else if you need help on this."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It's a damn shame that a person is taken so soon. I don't think I would enjoy doing luge, but he did enjoy it.
I'm sure it will cast a certain amount of gloom over the whole Olympics, and that's a shame for the city and the competing athletes.
RIP
