It was insensitive at best random thoughts Send a noteboard - 30/07/2012 09:25:06 PM
It was less offensive they all the sugar hyped ranting about xenophobia. There was nothing actually derogatory in her lame joke. It was silly throw away joke commenting on where they were from with zero judgment about them or the location. Now the women may be a carpet chewing batshit crazy racist with a swastika trap stamp but this joke was just a dumb joke and proof of a racial hatred. How far into the land of PC crazy that Europe has gone scares more than a woman who can jump far tweeting off color jokes.

Am I the only one who thinks Voula Papachristou should not have been kicked out of the Olympics? - 25/07/2012 10:55:19 PM 1206 Views
Being on a country's Olympic team is a privilege, not a right - 25/07/2012 11:00:24 PM 710 Views
So banning blacks would be cool if it was legal in that country? - 25/07/2012 11:08:52 PM 865 Views
If that's how the country wants to run itself - 25/07/2012 11:13:04 PM 738 Views

Even worse. - 26/07/2012 12:08:05 AM 700 Views
Erm - 26/07/2012 12:29:32 AM 729 Views
I fail to see how the whole team would be thrown out. - 26/07/2012 12:41:16 AM 728 Views
Because the IOC throws them out if the national government interferes in the national committe. *NM* - 26/07/2012 12:43:39 AM 402 Views
Well, that's absurd. - 26/07/2012 01:09:41 AM 803 Views

Specious reasoning. - 26/07/2012 12:07:08 AM 637 Views
Who are you to decide that? - 26/07/2012 12:16:45 AM 774 Views
I'm not the one deciding. - 26/07/2012 12:36:17 AM 639 Views
Essentially you're saying "there are lots of racists in Europe". - 26/07/2012 08:28:26 AM 751 Views
That's an oversimplification. - 29/07/2012 03:13:14 AM 698 Views

Well, but that's not the end of it. - 26/07/2012 12:12:09 AM 779 Views
It is for me - 26/07/2012 12:26:25 AM 689 Views
So...conformity ahead? *NM* - 26/07/2012 12:40:03 AM 345 Views

That and some pro-Golden Dawn statements. - 26/07/2012 12:14:25 AM 838 Views
For me it is more than enough - 26/07/2012 12:32:35 AM 627 Views
It's not what happened to her that I typically waver on. - 27/07/2012 03:08:45 PM 663 Views
It's not a matter of freedom of expression - 26/07/2012 09:49:59 PM 831 Views
This. *NM* - 26/07/2012 10:26:37 PM 364 Views

How is it censorship? - 27/07/2012 02:33:30 AM 787 Views
try looking up the word censorship and ask yourself would their actions supress speech - 27/07/2012 02:59:11 AM 909 Views
I know the definition thank you. How exactly was her communication suppressed? - 27/07/2012 05:54:39 PM 805 Views
you are right public punishment of political expression could never been seen as suppression - 27/07/2012 06:20:15 PM 923 Views
Well - 27/07/2012 07:20:27 PM 689 Views

Exactly - 27/07/2012 12:05:14 PM 698 Views
I know you said it but do you actually believe it? - 27/07/2012 01:56:35 PM 667 Views
It's a good question, but yes, I do. - 27/07/2012 02:42:28 PM 721 Views

Looks like Voula Papachristou agrees with Tom - 27/07/2012 07:09:30 PM 716 Views
Quite understandable. But so's the Greek OC's decision. - 27/07/2012 07:11:31 PM 715 Views
