Don't understand why someone watching someone running along holding a torch in the air is automatically good let alone decent?!! or am I missing something here?

I think it proves the country isn't completely full of miserable, anti-Olympic pessimists... and that's probably a good start.

you know, because anyone that isn't interested is automatically a miserable pessimist.

This is correct, this country is full of good people. As all ways it is the minority that will make you think otherwise.

For example my daughter cycles for a club, totally run by Volunteers giving their time for free to coach children.

If you look all over the place you will find people trying some way to help others. People doing great things unfortunately it is not news worthy so we don't hear about it. If we do then it is normally the story that gets overlooked.

I think this is a great country, and if you want to find the positives it's not hard to find them.

Well said my friend............not enough people, regardless of their politics, are proud of their country and their heritage.

Just check out the people lining the streets to see the Olympic torch.....magnificent !!

What absolute drivel. Why the hell is someone who has nothing better or more constructive to do than stand on the street to watch a torch go by either good or decent? More likely to be a saddo who has nothing better to do with his/her time.

What? I haven't said that at all. Just that if someone has gone to watch the torch relay, they're obviously not a miserable anti-Olympic pessimist...

my mistake! :D x

if you feel down about people who feel up about being up with people who are not doing anything that brings people down then you are wasting your go

it's nice when people are happy

nice people enjoy it

if you feel down about nice people being nice and enjoying it then you probably have something of the ncught about you
