If you despise me for telling the truth, so be it. I'm used to it. But don't hate me just because YOU erroneously labeled me anti-Greek.

Well, news for you, Greeks do not like you either. We do not want any peoples who despise Greece and Hellenism in our towns and cities and villages and we are ready for war with these people (dont forget we spend a lot of money on army) if they dont want to behave.

Athens 2004, though beautiful and picture perfect for various media when it was happening, was very much out of line with the Olympic ideals that are supposed to accompany games of goodwill, peace and friendship. Many Greeks brag, "we finished on time." Yeah OK, but people were displaced, animals were removed and murdered, workers died, Greeks boo'd and shouted profane insults at other teams (we were even spit on for wearing American Olympic team hats while waiting for the bus), and there was no "greening." I couldn't afford tickets on my Greek salary, and only saw them because my brother offered to pay. The stadiums that were supposed to breathe new life into less posh communities aren't being maintained so they can't be used for events that need venues, and we pay higher taxes. Woo hoo! I still believe in the Olympic spirit, but I don't think it necessarily originated where the Games were born. Sounds very familiar DD!
