[Olympics] Did she cheat?

[saxitoxin]

Based on some quick, back-of-napkin calculations, I figure the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is #3 overall for medals per capita (among the top 12 nations), trailing only Australia and Romania and leading US-occupied Korea.

1. AUS - 1 : 3,666,000
2. ROM - 1 : 4,000,000
3. PRK - 1 : 6,100,000
4. ROK - 1 : 6,250,000
5. FRA - 1 : 6,600,000
6. ITA - 1 : 9,750,000
7. USA - 1 : 14,300,000
8. GER - 1 : 13,300,000
9. JAP - 1 : 13,850,000
10. UKGBNI - 1: 17,000,000
11. RUS - 1 : 22,500,000
12. PRC - 1 : 52,000,000

She's Chinese, not North Korean.

There's no need to push so hard for an argument. There will always be a few people who think that Chinese athletes are racially inferior and can only win through drug abuse

you are fucking kidding me? you say there is no argument and then you tell me to expect that some people will always find chinese people to be an inferior race only able to win with drugs? what about all the USA athletes with gold medals? maybe i just accuse every one of them of being racially inferior drug cheats. then how would you like that?

Perhaps statistically, but World War II took care of that.

Who's Chinese?

The "she" of the OP, Ye Shiwen.

I don't know what that is.

"That", is a "she", and "what" is a who. No need for casual racism. She's a record holding swimmer. Gold medalist indeed at the Olympics.

Who or what are you talking about?

[yang guize]

symmetry don't you accuse someone else of being a casual racist.

now you apologise for saying that i should expect some people to think successful chinese athletes are racially inferior drug cheats.

If you would like, I'm happy to apologise. It's very easy to offer an apology for something I didn't say though. Some might think it a little empty. But then others like Peter Sellers in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

this is exactly what you fucking said. you think i am to take this as if it is nothing? you just insult chinese people like this and it is okay?

if i said that you should always expect some people to say that american people were racially inferior drug cheats how would you feel about that?

"American" isn't a race; that's like saying Unicorns, Dragons or Belgians are racially inferior drug cheats.

Meh, my mistake, Mickey Rooney was the racist character in that movie.

I didn't say it was.

However, I do admit error for indicating in my post above that Belgium was make-believe. I wikipediaed it and, apparently, it does exist (I was previously under the impression it was a setting in InkL0sed's D&D campaign).

What I "fucking" said? Huh, I'd say calm down a wee bit.

Now, I'd say that you can always expect a degree of racism when it comes to this stuff.

On the American side, I'd expect a certain amount of griping too, and wouldn't feel a great deal.

[nietzsche]

He's always flaming me, what can a guy do? Bachmann, of course, has not adopted any children at all, let alone North Koreans.

Always flaming you???

Dude, both times it was a joke, and I'm pretty sure it was obvious by the context that it was a joke. I apologized the first time and the second time I refused because I was not going to enable your hyper sensibility.

Now I get why saxi enjoys taunting you.

You just wait til our rowers come through. Hopefully crank out 1:1500000.

[yang guize]

maybe you should try having your country insulted every day by american politicians who try to turn our allies against us. telling everyone that we are dishonest traders and putting their war ships in our seas.
then maybe you would not be so 'calm' if someone from your country is automatically branded a cheat just because they are better than everyone else.

you think china can only have success by cheating? we are the world's biggest country. we work harder that small countries like you. so you need to learn better than to insult us.

[Lootifer]

Blergh, its not just china; remember Mr Phelps had some pretty serious questions asked of him.

But I assume you're just trolling anyways :/

He doesn't think China can only have success by cheating. He's pointing out that OTHERS think that.

How dare you accuse all Chinese people of being inferior, and drug users?!

So you're ranting that insulting Chinese is racist, but you have no problem insulting Americans blithely?

I personally think that it is quite possible that she's taken some form of drug enhancement. Consider the race - it was five hundred flipping metres. How could a sixteen year old girl post a better time (and particularly in the second part of the race, where most athletes begin to tire) than a man in his prime? In fact, there are numerous athletes in this Olympics that are suspect, if you ask me. Fifteen and Sixteen year old girls who are competing and defeating others who are in the prime years of weight training and all that. At sixteen, a teen isn't even fully developed. Is it just me who finds that a little peculiar? Shouldn't these children be at the youth Olympic games? or are they for ten year olds?

[lord voldemort]

She took some kind of PED...Just something that is not on the banned list.
