    Isn't that just a little hypocritical?
    From the view that I'm not an astounding athlete, no. From the view that I'm an American, and an American with a poutine craving...Yeah. Yes, it is. However, I've found that this is a good antidote to poutine cravings.

    Indeed, I obviously meant the latter.

    This Olympics was worth it for Shatner alone.

    Edit: Also, mega-props for fitting in a Trek reference in the closing ceremony of a Winter Games.

    Well, using my medal scoring, the USA still has the most points.
    Can we add a factor in your equation to adjust for population size of the Country? Every 1 medal Slovakia wins should be equal to like 5 U.S.A medals.

    More like 60. However, I don't agree with doing so; they should just make more babby.

    Population size and sports participation and [...]. You can just keep adding variables, but it still means nothing. The Olympics cannot be won since it's not a competition. It's just a collection of competitions.

    So you cannot win the decathlon?

    It would be more accurate to say that there is no universally accepted definition of "winning" the olympics.

    If the Olympics fattens your wallet, then you win.

    I vote that the country which takes bronze in mens ice hockey wins the olympics.

    6-1 goals says your vote doesn't mean squat.

    At least we came out of it with silver instead of bronze, looser.

    Hah, silver is depressing, but bronze is awesome. You lose.

    Really? I'd like to hear your reasoning.
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    Bronze leads to more happiness than silver.

    Oh wow. That's pretty interesting.
