With the major issues surrounding Brazil,I just can't help but really feel bad for the athletes. Every time I say it's gonna be okay, another stuff happens in Brazil that makes you go uhhh ohhh. I got a wild feeling we're going to have a BraExit situation in here when I mean Braexit, an olympics cancellation. Lol

It's going to be bad. Shit they found body parts near the beach volleyball courts.

Aren't there only 5 weeks left? Things are getting pretty close.. People manage to do amazing things under pressure though, so maybe they can pull it off? Either way it should be fun to watch :P

HAHAHAHA!!!! I can't wait for this disaster to unfold. 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Ppl overblow stuff. Brazil's problems are definetly less worrysome )or at least aren't more worrysome) then getting blown to bits by some religious fanatic while you are on a train going to work, or being shot to death while you enjoy a night at the club by some nutcase who can't accept the differences in the world.

Olympics are gona happen and Brazil problems will be Brazil's problems.



It will be ok for track and field events and sports done indoors but anything done outside is likely to be a disaster.



Don't think it will be a total disaster but its going to be the least successful Summer Olympics since the one in Montreal in 1976. Hope it doesn't ruin Buenos Aires chance to be the host city fairly soon.

Huge mistake there.

China is ruled by an iron fist, when the communist party decides something's going to happen it happens, and people comply or disappear. Brazil is not like that, aside from the people disappearaing part.

China's culture is one of stern industriousness, and a Chinese govt of wanting to be the most powerful, respected, and feared country in the world. Brazil's culture is not industrious, it's a fun party time culture, and it has no aspirations for being the dominant country in the world.

Nah, it's going to be ok. People get so easily carried out by media... I don't know why it would be a "total disaster", except maybe for the few sports that will be hosted in Guanabara Bay.

Plus, Rio already hosted Pan American games (2007), a similar event to Olympic games, but on a smaller scale (just countries from the americas like US, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, etc.) and it went just fine.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
