<div class="IPBDescription">well... as the name suggests</div> they arn't over yet, but who do you think made a big impact or general influence on the games this year? Do you think that some of the sports like shooting and archery should be adjusted or changed so they depend more on skill? Would you like to see any other kind of sport in the olympics in 4 years time?

    Even though it would never happen I think a video game event would be interesting. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I think the one Brazillian cheerleading dude during Volleyball was the highlight of the olympics (...well, maybe since Volleyball seems to be the only event). He's awesome <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->.


    Ping pong should be removed / played over a giant tank filled with crocodiles and sharks with guided missle launchers - just like the Greeks intended.

    well personally... i think that rifle shooting should be removed, as should dressage.
    Archery should have the technology toned down (you see all the crap on the bows these days, never used to be like that). DownHill mountain biking should definatly be included in the Olympics as maybe... some kind of style scoring, you could do a bit of dirt jumping or time trials or something.

    i think a Starcraft would make a nice olympics game. i guarantee that it's probably more difficult to master then half of the sports on there, but i doubt the olympics committee would ever let that pass...

    i didn't follow the olympics that much... but how the hell did the US women's soccer team beat Brazil? WTH? as for the entire doping controversey, i don't think there's much to be done about it, especially with designer drugs nowadays. however, i'm curious why several of the dopers were caught AFTER they won a medal. according to TIME magazine, testing is done a day or two ahead of time, and only takes a day to complete, so why the hell were so many medals pulled?

    finally, a huge LOL @ american basketball team. most of the best american players didn't even bother to join since they must've got tired of winning all the time, so we throw together a "nightmare team" and loses to puerto rico as a result. wootwoot.

    Why? It could be any number of reasons why. It could be your Starcraft suggestion [WTH], your lack of understanding of the drug testing methods, or your blatant arrogant americanism... BTW the language is ENGLISH not "american".. Hah!

    ..Yes. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Cry Me A River

    You were my sun
    You were my earth
    But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
    So you took a chance
    And made other plans
    But I bet you didn't think your thing would come crashing down, no

    You don't have to say, what you did,
    I already know, I found out from him
    Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
    And don't it make you sad about it

    You told me you loved me
    Why did you leave me, all alone
    Now you tell me you need me
    When you call me, on the phone
    Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
    With some other guy
    Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
    To cry, cry me a river
    Cry me a river-er
    Cry me a river
    Cry me a river-er, yea yea

    I know that they say
    That somethings are better left unsaid
    It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
    (Don't act like you don't know it)
    All of these things people told me
    Keep messing with my head
    (Messing with my head)
    You should've picked honesty
    Then you may not have blown it
    (Yea..)

    You don't have to say, what you did,
    (Don't have to say, what you did)
    I already know, I found out from him
    (I already know, uh)
    Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
    (No chance, you and me)
    And don't it make you sad about it

    You told me you loved me
    Why did you leave me, all alone
    (All alone)
    Now you tell me you need me
    When you call me, on the phone
    (When you call me on the phone)
    Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
    With some other guy
    (I'm not like them baby)
    Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
    (It's your turn)
    To cry, cry me a river
    (Go on and just)

    The damage is done
    So I guess I be leaving
    Oh
    (Oh)
    The damage is done
    So I guess I be leaving
    Oh
    (Oh)
    The damage is done
