Appropriately, it was the 10-meter air pistol competition.

After all the hype about the ReDream team, and the steroided up athletes, these two girls show what the Olympics are really about.

Congratulations, girls. Too bad there isn't a gold metal for being a good Human Being.

"If the world were to draw any lessons from what I did, there would never be any wars," Salukvadze, 39, said afterward, according to media reports.

No kidding. If everyone could shoot as well as she can, wars would be over in no time. Not nearly as fun for the generals.

Then, a Russian bomber came by and blew up the platform.

This is what is so amazing about the Olympics.

/something in my eye

Then they shot each other.

/"Its a badge of honor to be shot by you."

This is unrelated, but did anyone just hear on NBC the announcer in the gymnastics saying, "I was searching on the internet and I came across this little girl..."

Creepy shiat.

Well, that makes everything better then.

2 people from countries that might go to war hugging will do nothing to improve the situation anyways

there is, its called not going to hell.

The point is, it is what the Olympics are supposed to be about. And perhaps the larger world can see that duking it out over differences is not very smart.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine.

He_Hate_Me: /as the thousands of dead rise from the grave...

I would assume this is what that scene would look like:

Yeah, but they kept their clothes on, so how can you even trust either side?

Sharpshooters from Russia and Georgia embraced Sunday after earning medals for their countries, which have been teetering on the brink of war since the Beijing Summer Olympics kicked off last week.

So they aren't at war yet?

HA HA Is that Altered Beast? I loved that game!

They should have done '2 athletes, one cup' up there on the podium.

bv2112: He_Hate_Me: /as the thousands of dead rise from the grave...

I would assume this is what that scene would look like:

The 100 meter Werewolf transformation?

PATS0707: HA HA Is that Altered Beast? I loved that game!

Good call by you.

Good on em. Sorry to be a bummer but I can't help but contrast this to the Iranian swimmer who refused to compete with an Israeli.

Caesar1313: The 100 meter Werewolf transformation?

I don't know, but the 2-player simulated bear sex would be a fascinating event.

/ah, the memories of being 12.

Russia invades Georgia, kills people and then the Georgian athlete hugs a member of Russia to say "it's all alright". I wonder who got the better end of the bargain on this one.

There hasn't been a formal declaration of war from either country. So technically, they aren't at war. Then again, Hezbollah and Israel weren't technically at war two years ago, and now that conflict is referred to as the Israel-Lebanon war.

But as far as the media is concerned, if they're teetering on the brink of war, people will be checking back every hour to see if the situation has escalated. That's a lot of extra pageviews.

Meanwhile, the gold medal winning Chinese woman looked on baffled, long since having her emotions conditioned out of her.

I bet they go back to their Olympic hotel room together and have Olympic sex and give each other a gold medal in the muff dive.

cardex: mr_a: Congratulations, girls. Too bad there isn't a gold metal for being a good Human Being.

I'd ally with it.

Well, the big guy in the playground won't kiss the little kid's ass after kicking it. I cautiously call Irony, as wars were supposed to stop during the Olympic games, or at least used to. To lazy to see how many wars continued that were also participants in the Games.

I remember when Altered Beast was "the" game for my brother and I.

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine.

I'm a realist. I understand what the olympics are about and its all well and good that they hugged. I would rather see an article saying "Russian and Georgia Reach Peaceful Compromise". I'm just glad this got the "sappy" tag

Taiwan governs themselves. Only China thinks they still have control over Taiwan. Are you talking about Tibet?

Anyone else think Bush sees how damn big of a hypocritical ASS he is
being trying to dictate a non-military solution to this Georgia problem?


.....yeah, me neither.

Actually I think it was very cool that it happened.

RetiredTroll
What a load of horseshiat. The woman from Georgia is a dumbfark. People often confuse turning the other cheek with grabbing your ankles and getting reamed. Russia is invading Georgia because they don't like NATO. Hundreds, if not thousands, are being killed. This is not a time for forgiveness or some lovey dovey Olympic hug. This is a time to slap the bear in the face. fark Russia, the only response is force at this time. WOLVERINES!!!!!!


So the fact that Georgia attacked Russian peacekeepers instigating this fight means nothing to you?

Putin and Medeved are showing they won't take the United States sabre rattling any longer. Now we've gone and meddled in their affairs in the Caspian region.

bv2112: This is unrelated, but did anyone just hear on NBC the announcer in the gymnastics saying, "I was searching on the internet and I came across this little girl..."

Creepy shiat.

Yeah, I heard it. Right before she fell on her side. HEH. Anyway, the world should take heed from these two women. The Olympics are such a good display of how to coexist peacefully.
