part 348 candles in the lighthouse window

Hey meme! How are you doing? What is up? Do you also have a candle lit in your window for the return of Himaruya? like anon who is a light house wife! I hope he returns from the sea soon, with stories of adventure and sea monsters and the life outside the island. Ah, Himaruya. Safe journeys. Safe... journeys.

Enjoy part 348!

Maybe not move it, but cancel it, sure. But I doubt they will. China was a shitstorm too and they didn't do jack about that.

Every single argument I've heard from both China's olympics and Sochi's just comes down to this: Just let rich western countries host the Olympics from now on if you want everything to turn out perfectly with low drama.

They won't cancel it unless what we all hope doesn't happen, happens.

Ew @ the implications of western countries being "safer" yeeeeeeeeah sure

Not my view on it. Just seems to be what underlies every criticism I've ever heard from people I know.

I know it's not your comment. I'm just ew at that bit

But... western countries typically /are/ safer.

If letting rich countries host it will keep both the competitors and spectators as safe as possible, then I don't see a problem with that. The only argument I've seen for letting less fortunate countries host it is "maybe it will help them get their shit together!" Except no, no it doesn't. Bringing the Olympics to a city that can't handle it usually just fucks up that city and the people living in it for a really long time. Hell, even London fucked up on that front, with what happened to the poor who were living in that area.
