Naah Jose just show's up to take the garbage from the door of his basement apartment in his mommies house to the street for him so he doesn't have to get out of the barka lounger and leave is beloved X-Box behind for five minutes.
Mom has mentioned in passing that perhaps she'd be better off renting the apartment to Jose because she is actually receiving some benefit from him and that has triggered clb's fight-or-flight response!
OMG..................... how on earth can anyone here put a political slant on the NHS being included in the opening ceremony which charted much of the history and achievements of Great Britain.
Let's get this straight and into perspective, the NHS was not the only thing that has been achieved by the UK BUT it was the one that has been picked out on here by the right wing nut jobs............... WHY?......... probably because they are quite ashamed of the awful health system in the USA and seeing one of the many Govt. funded health services around the world being showcased really scares them. I knew when i saw the NHS segment in the Opening ceremonies that there would be some here in the USA who would somehow make it political......... they truly are "sados" and do not want American's to see that despite the constant lies about how bad the NHS is......... the UK is proud of it and it works extremely well............... NO ONE in the UK was offended by this segment as NO ONE in the UK thinks of the health of the nation as a political football as the lawmakers and wealthy do here.
Get a life you arrogant retards who feel that health is a luxury item and somehow a political GAME........... it isn't.
As the Premier of Israel has just said............... Healthcare is for the benefit of the Citizens and he is right but in the USA, Healthcare is for the benefit of the Insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, Doctors and the wealthy but NOT for the everyday Citizens.
How proud the right must be to have a worse health system than Cuba, Taiwan, Iraq, UK. Australia, Europe etc etc.
If the Health System was a Olympic Sport................ America wouldn't even qualify let alone get any medals.
Health should NOT be a political topic but here in the USA it most certainly is.............. GET REAL!

It's crazy what's going on with healthcare. To read some of the posters on here, people don't need healthcare (it's a luxury item...like dressage horses I suppose!), they should do away with Social Security so old people can beg and sleep in the streets, they need to get rid of anything resembling a social safety net. They don't want to pay any taxes for anything but the military of course!
They, in fact, want the U.S. to become a third world country (a teeny-weeny percentage of the population obscenely wealthy and everybody else - including the posters on here - living in the street, open sewage running down the streets BUT EVERYBODY'S GOT ASSAULT WEAPONS)!
Basically, they want to live in Somalia (but, of course, without those black people). These people have NO common sense.
I'm surprised all the people complaining about the "lefty" agenda of the ceremony didn't mention the fact that two Christian hymns were sung during the show: "Jerusalem" and "Abide with Me".
I think they also did "Guide Me Oh Thou Great Redeemer". At least they did something to that tune.
disclaimer, i didn't read all 19 pages, appoligies if this point has been brought up.
I consider myself very conservative, and don't love the idea of nationalized healthcare in the US.
With that being said, are you serious with this thread?
First of all, its their country, they can do with it what they want, as we can do with ours what we want. Had we have hosted such a ceremony, and worshiped an alter of guns, and some random person from a gunless country made a thread calling out the US for our way of thinking, you would say "who the **** do you think you are?"
So, unless you live in the UK, or involved with some kind of political movement against their nationalized healthcare system, you should be ashamed of yourself for meddling in their business, and thinking that the UK should have considered our feelings when designing an opening ceremony for an event hosting hundreds of countries.

Abide with Me was a tribute to victims of the 7-7 attack and was cut out by NBC. It was one of the highlights of the show. Those two songs are sung by Brits at lots of events, including sports.
What the 2002 Salt Lake Openning Ceremony wallowed in was the 9/11 attack which had nothing to do with the Olympics. Remember the parading of the tattered Flag into the stadium from the WTC site as if it were some kind of sacred relic worthy of veneration? Nothing could be more inappropriate!
So a tribute to the victims of 7/7 (seven years ago) is fine but a tribute to the (then) far more recent victims of 9/11 is offensive to you?
The topic of what Danny Boyle chose to include and not include in the Opening Ceremonies?
Nope...right on topic.
