Conditions At The Sochi Olympics Are Bad/Hilarious
Thursday, February 6, 2014 14:26
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Someone is probably doing to die at Sochi but it won’t be because of terrorists. One word: Yikes. Putin is a laughingstock and Russia is a joke right now. This is ridiculous. I’ve seen 3rd world countries put together better Olympics.
LOL, wow, none of you kids have OBVIOUSLY ever been to Trenton, New Jersey and stayed at a union maintained hotel before!
Seriously – go to a Motel 6 sometime and check out how often they provide you with fresh, previously-unused roaches. You suddenly won’t mind that line up of chairs in front of the toilet, or the novel concept of actually putting your toilet paper in a trash can instead of flushing it down the sewer (which MOST who have a septic system versus those plumbed to a sanitary sewer already understand why this is done).

Pike claimed that the Eastern and Western bloc would be drained to the point of financial exhaustion, then mutually anihilite eachother, so that neither will be the victor.
fwiw, the situation has been mismanaged by incompetent authority on either side.

In 1798, (cleric) Thomas Malthus published An Essay on the Principle of Population, in which he wrote:
The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race. The vices of mankind are active and able ministers of depopulation…
