You should be ashamed", he said to me. Yeah really, gently caress off with your "tap water that won't cause cancer on contact" and "staying in fully constructed buildings" first world problems.

FTFY. Seriously, think of where that $50 billion dollars in Russia could have been spent other than graft.

It seems like the Olympics now are a good excuse to: #1 launder money from public funds into the hands of political allies, and #2 run poor people off of their land while distracting the entire world with bread and circuses, except the bread costs quadruple what it normally does and the circus is falling apart before the show even starts

Or, you get where sensible governments just balk at the cost of the games and realize the prestige is gained from them is not cost effective, so you have no choice but to go to lovely dictatorships, which just goes back to the first point. I mean, how long until we start talking about the Pyongyang Olympics? Would anyone want to attend that an Olympics in Tehran? What's going to be the breaking point were no one wants to hold them and no one wants to attend them?

Who cares about this argument don't have a sociopolitical debate in the area where people can make fun of Russians for being suicidal alcoholics.

The office building management has set up a TV and chairs in the lobby; there's about 25 people sitting there at any given time. The government building next door has projectors showing different events on the walls in the food court, the place is packed all day. What's that, Canadian public, you expected poo poo to get done?
