Re: OFF TOPIC - The IOC sucks.
It's interesting to see how many people feel that the other cultures are inferior and that the local slant is the only "truth". I guess it's fair to assume that everyone views are slightly biased towards the home team. With the various conflicting claims, it would be hard for an outsider to judge the relative credibility of tha participants.
Consider this: In how many places in the world could a debate like this take place in public? Which countries have laws protecting your freedom to express these ideas? Which countries allow virtually unrestricted communication of information across the internet, and which limit it.
Since most Users of this forum could be considered to have some expertize in the uses of and restrictions on the internet, which country's culture would you select to "govern" the internet? It would be interesting to see some honest answers to that one.
