Justification is an event. Sanctification is a process. |
Honors Student Derrion Albert's murder, one of hundreds of killings in the city annually, should serve as the flagship video for Chicago's attempt at securing the Olympics. After all, decades of unbroken Democrat rule have successfully built a culture of urban dependency predicated upon easy access to welfare, food stamps and other "free" social programs. These, in turn, have led to a dramatic increase in concomitant rise in violent crime. Chicago's new -olympic-logo.

You don't support your own country getting the olympics?
Is that what you're saying?
LOL I see you're from SC. AKA America's most violent crime ridden state. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2008/rpt/2008-R-0347.htm
What region has the most murders? Oh ya, the south. http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murder-rates-1996-2008
Don't bash my state and city, when you live in America's Anus. |

Actually, NO an emphatic NO, I do not want my country to get the Olympics. Do you think it will be free? Fuck no, the American taxpayer will once again get fucked in the ass paying for this. Also fix your shitty city and state before you host something like the Olympics.

If Obama wasn't from Chicago this thread wouldn't even be here. I guarantee it.
I live here. It's a great city. I'd think my opinion has a little more weight than yours. |

Originally posted by Sabiancym Nope. The Olympics are a joke. Anything labeled as a "competitive sport" is allowably submitted as a competition. I do not believe it to be the responsibility of the President to throw sales pitches, no matter what city.

That's fucking sad. |

Because people who come to the olympics don't eat, so restuarants won't make any money.
Please, it'll stimulate damn near everything in the city. They're projecting to come out billions ahead. |

I was refering to restaurants as well when I spoke about it. Sportmanship is fine and all, but it quickly loses it's value for me when that so called sportmanship costs millions and millions of dollars. Pride? What pride? the only ones who really deserve to be proud are the athletes. Everybody else has a false sense of pride because one of the winners turned out to live in the same country. Big deal. |

Would you say the same thing about the military? I've never been to war, so is it safe to say that America has never won any wars, just the people who actually fought in them?
We're out anyway. Rio will probably get it. |

WE are broke, we have no money for frivilous ventures right now. I don't know and I don't care. At least we aren't paying the full amount for the Games. Remember the cup is half full.

You guys will complain about anything and everything as long as it relates to something liberal. If this were Dallas no one here would be complaining about it.
I live here. I have always lived here. I don't want to hear some small town rednecks telling me how dangerous my own city is when they live in a town 100 times smaller. I know no one who has ever been mugged, assaulted, murdered, etc. I feel completely safe walking around. The places where crime does happen often are far away from downtown and anywhere that anyone coming to the city to visit would actually be.
You know nothing of my city. So shut the fuck up about it.

Ever been to chicago? Its pretty dam clear when you've hit a bad part of town and its pretty well split between north and south. If it all take place on the north side then it be fine.

Though I can see the use in building a football arena if it is going to be used continuously for years to come and it actually brings more than 1.5 billion in revenue. If it is a long term investment to a city, That is their perogative to use it to generate revenues. |

I think you just have a massive massive political bias against it. Or you are in a crappy business and had a meeting on the lower south side.
No one can walk down Michigan avenue and say Chicago is a filthy city unless they have a serious grudge against the city. |
