Paris Olympics 2024

Thought I'd start a thread about the Olympics. I'll be watching all nations coming together for this historic event. It is the gathering of the best athletes in the world. I like it all but I really like the track and field and gymnastics. Waiting to see who is the fastest man and the fastest woman on the planet and the beauty of the beam, vault, bars, and floor.

John Wick seems more on the nose. I think someone is questioning the manhood card of a fellow that has a cat.

I think someone just has too much time on their hands

I know less about john wick movies than what I barely know of those other movies.

It all started when someone took John Wick's dog.

Same. Except it was his daughter.
Slight variations to start but all so they can shoot the guns and kill the badguys.

I fail to see any duality here.

I was curious about that.
I don't even know what it means.
I presumed the gist of the meme was that this guy would become Liam Neeson from the movie franchise Taken if anybody took his cat.
That line about the duality of man?
My guess is it doesn't matter.
Kinda like the "well-regulated militia" part of the 2nd amendment.
It's not that important.

Yeah I didn't make the meme, but I still think it's funny even without that line. The Olympics are no place for politics.

I didn't see "duality" as insulting. I took it to mean a man with both a sensitive side and a badass side. Well maybe it's insulting if someone views being called sensitive or nurturing as insulting? But if someone said that to me I'd say thank you for the compliment.

And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car and kill his f**king dog."

As I turned on the TV yesterday the local news reporter was speaking, I'm not 100% sure I heard her correctly. It sounded like she said that the U.S. is giving the city of Paris 930 million dollars to help improve the Parisian public transportation system. Anyone know if this is so? Googled it but no corroboration.

Not to be small minded, but it seems strange to me. I can think of a whole lot of American cities, states, counties, that would benefit from a real public transportation system.

Nah, that's a dumb idea. Let's just make everyone buy exploding electric cars instead. Our power grid isn't overworked at all these days. Is it? I don't think charging up a couple hundred million vehicles every day would be too much to ask.

As for the money to Paris, why not? Just crank up the printing press and make some more, right?

Gosh, being a Congressman would be easy! Maybe I'll make the Squad!

Send them another billion so they can clean the 💩 out of the river
