Manpa said:Jeez, some blokes are hard to please, a good news story, the Olympics are coming to Australia, think of the boost to the economy, we are going to need it. Who gives a damn if it was pre recorded footage or it was pre-ordained that we would win because no one wanted it. As a nation we now have a chance to showcase Australia to the world. Small business, hospitality, tourism are all bleeding, this will give many something to work towards.
As a nation we do sport well both playing it and holding major events. As a nation we are going through the toughest of times since the depression, this gives us something to get behind.
I for one am pleased its coming, I know some may not and thats fine.
The costs of hosting the Olympics have skyrocketed, while the economic benefits are far from clear. This has led to fewer states interested in playing host and a search for options to lighten the burdens of staging the big event.
Good idea Manpa :lol: :lol: :Y:Manpa said:I get some people dont like sport and the Olympics does that mean we shouldnt strive to have them in the Australia and the Southern Hemisphere. If that is the case, in simplistic terms please shut down all the funding to the arts as well as Im not into musical theatre, playhouses, cultural festivals etc. layful:
