Not about genocide, but from the Winter Olympics
And affecting Taiwan, since we get our MOD feed from SE Asia, and anything mentioning gay sex is banned- in a country where gay marriage is legal and supported by 60% of the population.

Sport is inherently political, like art or any other reflection of society. Sports competitions between nations with wildly different philosophies are especially political. There’s no way it could be otherwise.
Marco: ThaiJuan:I find it truly bizarre that anyone could ever think the Olympics are anything other than political. It’s pretty much right there in the basic structure of the thing.
Well. That’s the propaganda behind it. It’s sports they say. This is where we come together despite differences.
On the surface it sure looks like that.

War without the shooting?
I don’t really agree with Orwell on that. Of course international sport can be highly political, but that tends to be the exception rather than the rule. How often do countries boycott major international events? It’s exceptional when it happens.
So what does Laowhy think of these Olympics? I’ll let you guess before you watch his latest video.

I love how they are/were leading the medal table.
What?
Taiwan has (or as of last night had) the most medals of any country.
How is that possible
Good news!
F.U.C.K. me…
The only people i am dissapointed in about this, and everything else related, are the people that STILL buy made in china. Because, ya know, i “need” THIS one.
We, as a species, deserve the pending avoidable karma based doom we are inflicting upon ourselves and each other. Sad truth, considering we all know better
I don’t know, but they’ve been leading every time I’ve looked since the start.
Just looked again…still leading with 10 medals.

For apparently straight-faced comments like that, you can join the actual thread for this purpose:
Is there a thread? Edit: Not looking for political discussion. Edit again: Support the athletes. Opening ceremony today. MOD Channel 201 now. They just now placed the torch.

I said Taiwan is a country. Political, baby!

What country actually boycotted this olympics?
Seems only china boycotted international visitors well played, if we are all in grade 1. Otherwise not. Lucky for china the world is as greedy and retarded as a trailer park baby in a non monitored candy store on an empty stomach.
ROC is the Russians
Oh man, that stinks! Why do they not have the Russian flag and have the Olympic one?

For sure. Credit is due to the authorities in Beijing for recognizing how venal clowns such as the IOC can be played.

The choice to not boycott, especially a foe, is also political.
Taiwan has actually never won a medal at any Winter Olympics.
