The Olympics: waste of money or celebration of excellence?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

A pyramid scheme built on the backs of the poor; reminds of another pyramid built on the backs of the poor.
Glad we've come so far in the intervening millennia.

Take this attitude to its n'th dimension and NOTHING save for the growing of food is anything aside from exploitation and empire building. All entertainment (aside from the beast with two backs) is frivolous and unnecessary. All art is a waste of resources. All social structure aside from low-level anarcho-syndicalism is exploitation, etc.

I don't think you want to argue down that line
