Peace You are jaded, and that saddens me.

Think of all the pure sports and healthy competition you are missing out on. I'm with you I felt the same rage with the scorring of Salay & Peltier but think about the emotion you felt when you watched them skate that perfect routine before the judges had thier say. We watch it for them not the judging.

The Olympics is the only spot where we are going to see Hockey as it was meant to be played. Without the voilence that the NHL feels that they need to have to sell tickets. Remember the days when Guy Lafluor and Bobby Orr skated around gracefully and made it artistic? They didn't even need helmuts because there was nobody going to hit them on the head with a stick.

It reminds me of Christmas.
To me it is a time for family to come togeather and a time full of wonderfull memories of childhood such as puting up lights with my dad or trimming a tree with mum, or making crafts and gifts at school for my family....
But theres always some misirable bastards who spend the whole season telling everyone who'll listen that Christmas is a cash grab invented by halmark or wallmart to take peoples hard earned money. These people can't just shut up and ignore christmas they need to convince everyone they can to hate it too. Misrirable people hate to be alone.

I have no problem with people who dislike things (I myself am a very dissagreable fellow to the point of being an asshole on occasion). I have a problem with people who need you you agree with thier contentions.

Peace enjoy your pride and revel in the kids performance. It'll be good for you.

Cheers brother!
