I like Johnny! However, I think that she has some valid points and she did keep saying, "This is MY opinion". So she is giving her opinion and it is not popular with everyone. That is the problem in society right now. Everyone wants to hear what other people think and then when they say something that is controversial then the comments start.
Let it go....Jamie is not the voice of men's skating.
Oh no, he is wearing feathers? How could he! No wonder he came in 6th, with great performances and an amazing Triple Axel. The man who made 1st with good performances and an atrocious Triple Axel - he went on the ice in jeans and sweatshirt, like a real man should. I mean, have some pride in your masculinity, you little queen. What? Wait, I don't believe it! How dare you suggest such a thing! Just no! NO!! Lysacek didn't actually wore any feathers during the short program, those were tiny elastic propellers to make him rotate faster on the Triple Axel, so that it was only half a rotation cheated instead of the usual 3/4 rotation and therefore they enhanced his masculinity. And he supported the US-economy by using those propellers, because the propellers were donated by the All-American-Organic-Microaircaft-Cooperation. See? See??? Look how American that is! How masculine!
So now this is about Lysacek? Jamie wasn't even talking about him. :think:
And please bash USA to your heart's desire if it makes you feel better - but Jamie is Canadian

But Jamie (the Canadian) was the one talking about Anti-American, accusing Weir of being Anti-American, I just picked up her line there. There is absolutely no US-bashing in my post that I can find. I am simply making fun of some people's strange perceptions of patriotism.
I just don't like this double-standard. Slam Weir for wearing feathers - but then please slam all the others who do that, too.
Ahhh... I always thought that opinions can be wrong. If someone said that smoking benefits the lungs, I would consider that a wrong opinion.I'd like to know how an opinion can be wrong. And what's wrong with "macho" (for lack of a better word) skating?
I like diversity, but I've seen a lot of posts deriding macho/masculine skating that I wondered what was wrong with it. And I don't really get the smoking thing. I'm not sure that "smoking is good for the lungs" qualifies as an opinion if there is scientific evidence that smoking is harmful to the lungs. But opinions that can't really be proven or disproven doesn't make them wrong.
