Because they are exhausted. By the greedy rental housings, By the prices of tobacco and alcohol and food at the Coles and Woolies. And by the nice bogans in the traffic making the roads all grid locked. So why do they want the Olympics. For the bux. Get those bux renting out the house for 1 month to a bunch of foreigners and charge the 100,000 for the privileges. Im 'gonna be a RICH! One thing is certainly, the Expo 88 is something they will talk about 10 years later the Olympics. HEY REMEMBER THE EXPO? YEAH WAS'T THE OLYMPICS CRAP IN COMPARE!?

Linked fixe!

Oh I thought this was a news article. It’s just some Trump ALL CAPS gear.

There's no Trump derp here Whether I type caps or smalls, the fact is the same: Only people with mental challenges want Olympics trouble in traffic and other stuff.

Did you do some surveys?

Trump would be proud of the mental challenges gear too

People with IQs around 80 think the Olympics is good. So I dont know why in Brisbane a lot of people don't want Olympics. Because demographics match?
