Amen. Well-said.

I had no idea someone ran naked. Thanks for letting me know.

How ridiculous the cops arrested him for being naked. I guess they had no clue about Olympic history. Sounds like typical cops: far less of an understand of history than the people they are arresting.

One guy did run naked (before the torch-bearer arrived). Despute most people loving it, he got arrested! For being a human!

Not only is wearing clothes a disgrace to the meaning and memory, so is thousands of torches and pretending it's a "relay".

The Earth subdues the water, & the water subdues the fire, the fire subdues the metal & the Metal subdues the wood & the wood subdues the earth. Where did they say London is Holding its Gold reserve. Does anyone remember what happend on 9/11, who stole the Gold from under the World Trade Center, who said you can't let a good crisis goes to waste. Who would lie stead & borrow to start a war with the Middle East, who stole Libyas Gold reserve? What ever they do once they do again. WW1 & WW2 &WW3

All that glitters is not Gold, Goldfinger is promoting his Brand, & the Queen is Promoting Her Brand Diamonds are a girls best friend Cold as Ice. Song Ice Ice Baby.

If anyone has any sense left out there stay the Hell away from the London Olympic Games, and remember the 7/7 attack on the people of London don't trust the Government and put yourselves in Harms way, over some Zionist Ritual. People forget what they did on 9/11 to get their Murder spree going. Remember the Children Poem London is Burning Look Yonder, Fire Fire Fire, and we have No WATER Think safe and be responsible. Stay the Hell away from there.

@MartianStories shut the fuck up

[MartianStories]

I'll give a fuck abou the Olympics for the first time when they have all the athelete compete naked, as the ancient Greek atheletes were all forced to do in the ancient Olympics. Wearing clothes is a travesty to the meaning and memory of the Olympics. As is the fact that these twats are spending millions of dollars for the pagentry and horseshit of it.

But, you can keep the female atheletes in the Olympics. The ancient Greeks would have burned the city down over it, but we're less picky.

hope they have fun paying for the olympics for the next 20 years
