Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

cling to your idividualism.
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

Yippee - right I'm going to train for the Modern Pentathlon since that looks like the easiest event. Anyone else thinking of entering anything?

where does the sentiment that the olympic games is basically for the "lucky western elite" come from?

excuse me if i'm misrepresenting you dave, but the way your comments read there is that the main ideals of the olympics games are 'entertainment' and 'status building'?
personally, i think the olympic games are one of the few sports events with commendable morals.
"I hope that more and more of us in the lucky Western elite start to seriously question the value and wisdom of spending billions of billions of pounds in matters which are for entertainment. status etc."
that statement i don't understand at all...
taking the sports funding from western governments' budgets and spending it instead on aid is not only totally unworkable but would also be highly detrimental to the economies and cultures of those countries and any countries that they trade or compete with.
how is your argument any different from suggesting that we cut funding to all the arts?
they, moreso than international sports competitions, are solely for the entertainment of the western elite.
i understand your underlying point - that saving dying children is more important than arranging a big athletics event.
but i would contend that throwing money at africa will not solve its problems, and putting down something like the olypics as being a first world, hedonistic waste of time and money is inaccurate and not a related issue.
