[QUOTE="Geehi, post: 614744, member: 21138"] To suggest that opposition to the elite spend-fest that is the modern day Olympics is based purely on a dislike of sport is a very superficial analysis......and I use the word analysis loosely. How about we spend the $10 billion (and rising) on mundane things like: o cheaper tertiary education for our younger generations, in order to create our next generation of scientists and engineers o replacement of our aging infrastructure like crapped-out coal power stations, o improving an outdated and overloaded health system, o creating the means to process and value-add to our abundant natural resources instead of shipping them overseas as boatloads of dirt o completing our once held plan of having a fully fibre internet network o strengthening and modernising our defence capabilities given the developing situations in our neighbourhood You get the drift....feel free to add more to the list....it is almost inexhaustible.
