Beating the PRC.

The PRC is already beaten.  Is it so important that your drugs are better than theirs?

Besides, it'll all be irrelevant if China ever lands a man on the moon.

And yet Canada can't get an Astronaut into space without our help.

Actually, Canada has an identical ability to put a man into space as the US.

I'm sure they cheated then too.

Incidently they had another incident of handling the ball in their own penalty box and not being called by the ref today.

I think that was a good no-call.  Calling an inadvertent handball in a penalty area in a one goal game is a travesty.

Actually, the US can afford to pay the Russians to send someone into space much more than Canada can.

Yes, it was introduced back in Pékin.

Anybody other than redneck Americans in it?

None of them are Rednecks, it's not Skeet shooting.

It's a proper sport, like Snowboarding or skateboarding.

Synchronized swimming. If you overlook the ridiculous nose clamps and the weird makeup, it's a rather good looking sport.

Not as good looking as rhythmic gymnastics, however.

Just in case anyone has forgotten, the US women's team won gold in Soccer and Canada sucks.
