The US had their turns in the past . It is fair to let other countries enjoy the same privilege . Did you notice the great soccer player Pelee there as well ?. I love soccer ( known in Europe as football ) .

Chicago should put their resources and energy in to doing something about being the number one city in the country for teenage murders...

I guess since the Olympics won't be in the United States all the economic woes that our senile former President named George W. Bush has gotten this country in (Oh, including these wars) will be ending tomorrow. Yeah, right ...

Hey, I feel as thought my country the USA is the greatest country in the world and we can sponsor anything including the Olympics better any other country in the world, and for another so-called American to say anywhere in this country isn't good enough is just a slap in the face to all the real Americans that defends and have died for this country. The UNITED STATES IS by far THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD !!!!!!

As much as I agree with you that this is by the far the greatest country, I have to ask you "why would anybody in the right mind want to have the Olympics in Chicago over Rio?"
And and for your earlier statement, I prefer having a president that knows what it takes to win a war than a man who feels soo obligated to apologize for our country's past. Also, I'd take a trillion dollars in debt over the 13 trillion that obama is going to give us in the very near future.

Since when have bring an event that big to a US city a bad idea? Is when Obama took office? Some people are really discussing. You would rather see the USA fail in anything because of who is in office. I have never known a true American wish such on his or her country. I think these people have a personal issue with our President and could care less about our country, just as long as he fails, they are no better (well a lot worse) then the communist. People like that are the sickening, vile, diseased maggots that need to be exterminated.


Agree completely. It's the same kid crap as cliques in High School. People want to fit in to a group, some very badly in times like these. And one way to do that is to pick a political party to identify with and proceed to mindlessly toe the party line, pick on, degrade, demonize, and attack other people who aren't in that same party/group. All the cool kids are doing it now I guess.

It's just not really about dealing with societal issues and coming up with solutions for a lot of people involved in politics anymore - they are more concerned with fitting into a group to gain an identity. I call them sheep.

So I'm a Commie for opposing a Commie? Wait, What? Ow! That hurt my brain!
The US is the best Country in the world. Freedom loveing people have NO WHERE ELSE TO GO!! Our schools are quickly becomeing the most complete indoctrination tools ever seen in the history of the world. People have to sign waviers of every kind and attend "sensitivity" (anti-Christian Thought)training just to work almost anywhere in the country. The lawyers are not just assuring that procedure is followed any more. They are taking it upon themselves to "rip children to shreds" on the stand in order to protect child molesters. Anything to win. Right and wrong are relative. You getting the idea? I don't want my country to fail. No sane person does.
It has been said in dozens of ways, thousands of times. Evil prevails when good men do nothing. Atlas Shrugged, good book. READ IT, you may understand the people you think want our country to fail a bit better. When I see the things mentioned above, I want the people responsiable to fail. Every neighborhood, business, homeowner, butcher, baker and candelstick maker who supports them MUST FAIL. If not, your children and mine will pay, DEARLY.

It is a shame because it would have created a lot of jobs in the U.S. something we could use right now. At least Obama tried that is more than I can say of George W. who went to the olympics for a week as fan on taxpayer money.

:smile: Employee sensitivity training isnt antichristian and it helps companies to avoid liability in harrasment cases.:smile: I have had to attend them for management positions I have held and there was nothing about christians or antichristian in there.:smile: it was about stuff like sexual harrasment.:smile: Also,according to the constitution a person has the right to face their accuser and a right to a vigorouse defense.:smile: This is a good thing:thumbsup:
