Forget having to be PC correct. Does anyone really give a f**k about the paralympics?

Remarkable as they are I have no interest in watching it.

say they've actually applied for tickets.

It's not even the Emperor's new clothes. That was obviously the proper Olympics. This is something else, conformist culture or something. I don't even know what. Utterly bizarre...

What do you f**king care if others do? http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/smile.gif Does the idea of people making a 'fuss' over the paralympics offend you? No, of course not, so let it be..

[Monty91]

I'd imagine it will pass off without too much attention and will be far easier to ignore.

Saying that, it would be kinda funny if Al Queda scored a massive PR own goal by getting their dates wrong and attacking this one instead, subsequently losing the support of extremist Muslamics all over the world for killing innocent rasberries.

the idea of the Olympics is to gather ppl who are best in the world at what they do.

this is more like a fun day out and to encourage ppl with disabilities to have some fun. it is a good cause, but its not a sporting competition.

[Monty91]

some of the proper Olympics.

The blindoids run alongside a sighted person. That could be interesting to watch.

Also plenty of scope for comedy. Dwarfs etc...

[Monty91]

proper olympics). This kind of pseudo-enthusiasm needs to be held up for what it is...

[East Upper for Supper]

Its PC correct however to call it the second greatest sports event in the world.*******s.

[East Upper for Supper]

After the olympics?

[plastic james]

ok its not the second greatest sporting event in the world as you call it, but why do you need to be mean?

why not see it as a fellow human beings who are trying to have fun and do the best of their situation?

if i lost a leg or something, i'd rather go out there and do something like that than sit at home and feel sorry for my self, would i deserve to be called a member of a freak show for that? nope

Sorry but they are amazing and good luck to them.However how many ticket holders would go to a gym to watch wheelchair basketball? But hey lets watch them because its cool to be seen at the olympic park.

its summer, its an sporing event, its a good cause.....ppl are enjoying the whole thing...i don't see why it bothers you.

and whats wrong with disable ppl from different countries coming together, competing and having fun? maybe you wanted to lock them away to save your eyes?

[BK]

Can you sum it up again for me in, say, one line? Apologies for being slow http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/smile.gif I think I latched on to the 'What offends me is that I'll be called a heartless c**t for calling it a freak show'. Why should other people's sentimentality, fake or not, offend you? You simply sound like one of the 'PC gone mad' nutters - 'can you believe I can't call a midget a short c**t, whatever next?'

Again, If I've missed the point, explain it again more coherently.

Argument.

[plastic james]

Never watch them normally, and I was getting sick of the main Olympics by the final Weds or Thurs too. great inspiring stories I'm sure but the sporting spectacle is in seeing the fastest and strongest and most endurable people on the planet. But most importantly it clashes with the football now too!doubt I'd have followed the Olympics as closely if there was a non Olympic football alternative

[plastic james]

do not attend reserve match football at their local area, season ticket holder at the emirates do not necessarily watch football at Hackney Marshes. thats why there are 60 thousand at the emirates and 50 ppl at Hackney Marshes.

your argument is devoid of logic and is very unrealistic. maybe you're insane maybe you're taking the piss, i dunno, but i cannot take this post seriously anymore/
