Is anyone watching this ghastly OLYMPICS Opening Ceremony display on NBC?

119. Where, pray tell, have I said "Go USA?" I haven't.

But hey, you've got nothing left, so now you're making shit up.

The women leading the athletes did look like Fembots, Pootie (that's Putin, since you're affecting a clueless attitude) DID dump the first Russian Federation anthem for the USSR one (something you would know about if you'd bothered to read the thread carefully--I covered that), and Putin's girlfriend DID run into the stadium with a torch.

Now, your "complaint" is that "this type of shit" should "be in the lounge or the entertainment group."

In short--let me sum up: You don't like what I've had to say, so NOW you're complaining about a thread that is a valid General Discussion topic not being in the "right" place to suit you--solely because you don't like my opinions!

I think, if you go back down the years here at DU, you'll see DOZENS of "Olympics" threads in GD. And since you're plainly confused about what belongs in GD, let me HELP you recall what's appropriate for this forum:

Discuss politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.

The Winter Olympics is a "current event" that happens once every four years--it's BIG news. INTERNATIONAL news, covered in every country in the world. Pootie (that's Putin, again) has politicized it in an extreme fashion. For you to want to shove this topic off into the entertainment group--particularly with the overlay of the gay bigotry issue-- is, well, laughable.

Keep digging the hole--I've gotta say, you're a veritable excavator!
