| Did Ohno "steal" the medal? No, it was given to him by the Australian judge when Kim was disqualified |
Sort of. The actual allegation was that Ohno cheated, but the judge awarded him the medal anyway. |

It has nothing to do with being American. They have been trained to think that their society is the best in the world and ever lazy-ass male hoju head can continue to accept the money from the previous generation and not have to work. They're not upset about what American has done, they're worried about their precious welfare life being taken away. |

That's right. No male in Korea has a job. |

| As to Vince Vance's "Bomb Iran" song, I hope you're not using this example to compare the loss of a medal to having 52 people held hostage for 444 days. |
No, obvioulsy having your citizens held hostage is worse than losing a gold medal. But, I'd say bombing would a somewhat disproportianate response, given that many Iranian civilians would likely die. Or did Mr Vance's song contain a few lines about the need to avoid civilian casualties?
By the way, I guess that song was more famous than I imagined in Grade 7. I apologize for my "lone shock jock" assessment. |
The Vance song was popular nationwide, but it was a comedy song, not a call to arms or blanket condemnation of another country. |
