I meant in reference to the Olympics...

Oh, and I just left the UK where they're not exactly at their best...

I think my highlight might have been the diving pool turning green. I wouldn't say you were wrong there though.
Do you have a green card or are you taking a visa? (I guess you have sorted that all out already.)

Visa - I'm studying here, so not exactly permanent. Pretty sure I classify as a "non-resident alien"

Nice! Glad you're going to see the US before it's devastated by everything in the book!
Kidding obviously.

Thankfully more than one person ends up being involved in the decisions made for the US. It's not a dictatorship after all.

Yeah, I'm pretty grateful we have this beautiful ILLUSION OF A democracy.

USA kicked ass, especially the swimmers and Michael Phelps' pot-head self.

That's comparing extremes though, I just don't want corrupt leaders more than we do now. That reminds me, I have to make two more threads about the internet and that corrupt bitch Hillary.

You're not wrong there. I was edging towards the idea of things are all relative. It doesn't make what you have any better than it is, but I'm definitely one who tries to think "this could be a lot worse" when I don't have the power to make something better.

No, because it is boring.
