Olympianisms
Having watched and lived the Olympics for the past few weeks, I thought I'd share some thoughts:
1. Dressage should be called Horse Dancing. And the horses should have to be born in the country they're representing since they're doing all the work. And also this shouldn't really be in the Olympics.
2. I followed both the Heptathlon and Decathlon for the first time. These struck me as being the Liberal Arts degree equivalents of sports: be good at many things, but probably not great at any. This isn't completely true of course since Jessica Ennis would've won the gold medal with her 100m hurdle time, and Ashton Eaton would have qualified for the finals in at least the long jump, but still... watching some of the athletes in some of the events seemed cruel almost. The 1500m final for the men was an awkward watch.
3. Maybe the best achievement of the games -- a Maasai warrior setting a world record in the 800m. Kenya dig it! If the Kenyans keep getting bigger and stronger they're going to start Jamaican us crazy in the sprint events too.
4. The medal count thing is ridiculous. And so is all the bickering and accusations of cheating. The teams and coaches from all of the big countries are using any advantage they can all the time, and calling out anyone for anything -- apart from taking steriods -- is a bit small. The whole medal table should be re-ranked by some sort of GDP and population algorithm.
5. Cool that the rowers don't stand on the podium for the medal ceremony. Weird that they give two bronzes in judo and wrestling.
6. Little disappointed that I didn't get any love for the "I say Lightning, U-sain Bolt" post. Thought that was pretty clever.

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd genuinely appreciate
it.

I do accept as true with all of the ideas you've presented in your post. They are really convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for novices. May just you please lengthen them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

I comment whenever I especially enjoy a post on a site or I have something to add to the discussion.
Usually it is triggered by the sincerness displayed in the article I read.
And on this article "Olympianisms". I was excited enough to post a comment :-) I do have a few questions for you if you
don't mind. Is it only me or do a few of these comments come across like they are coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online social sites, I would like to follow you. Would you make a list the complete urls of all your community pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
