The 2012 London Olympic Games!

In 1980, USA boycotted the Soviet Union Olympic games;
In 1984, the Soviet Union boycotted the USA Olympic Games;
In 2008,the western country would like to protest or boycott the Beijing Olympic games;

The next question is:
How many people will protest or boycott the 2012 London Olympic Games or Torch Relay?

 

because of what?

 

Because of crumpets.

Count me in on the protests, I for one will not stand for the worldwide distribution of crumpets any longer!



Please put an end to the incline.

Say No to the 2012 london olympic games.

 

C'mon, we all know the real issue looming - the price of a pint of ale.

Unless Britain moves to contain this travesty of justice against humanity, I will be staying home and drinking homebrew.

Well, I'll be drinking homebrew anyway.





Sorry...ahem, miss my brewing life at the moment...back to seriousness, with apologies to all. OP, agree with cientificoloco, what would be the basis?

 

Western countries aren't boycotting the Olympics though? There were protests at the torch relay, but a few thousand protesters doesn't represent an entire country.

I hope we get rid of the torch relay for the 2012 games, it's pointless.

 

Someone told me the 2012 olympics were going to be in Canada.
Is London a sure thing now?

 

Of course it is, who would say Canada >_>

London has already started building the Olympic village, stadium etc.

 

You may be confused with Toronto losing the 2008 bid to Beijing.

 

I don't think that it's pointless and it raises the anticipation of the games!

 

1-Boycott of Olympic Games in London 2012 because of Northern Ireland !

2- 2012 Olympics due to the UK's Human Rights problems.

3- Illegal invasion of Iraq. 1980 Olympic games were boycotted becouse of the soviet invasion of Afghanistan


But All of 3 sound pointless

 

It's quite recent, was introduced by Hitler to be used as a propaganda tool. It's never raised my anticipation, plus, in this day and age it would set a bad example to fly a group of people all around the world with the environmental issues as they are.

 

I knew that, but I think that the environment would be one of the least factors that would stop an event like that. There are better ways to save the environment.
The Olympic torch might not raise your anticipation but the ones of thousands of other fans, there were protesters but also fans surrounding the relay.

 

hahahahaahhhahaha

 

In 2012 the Middle East will boycott the Olympic games because the Olympic logo looks like ZION

 

nah, US->USSR; USSR->US

so, its China who is going to boycott 2012 Games

world->China; China->world

PING-PONG-PING-PONG
