(Okay also security issues, but that was more like adding the ammunition to getting rid of the video player)

People using hidden miniature cameras should be shamed and punished when that is discovered just like the people using these glasses.

What we need is worldwide open borders, except out… no one can leave once they get here

Slight overstatement… break dancing was one of the locally picked sports and the next Olympics had already selected different sports before she performed…

But she is a good example of degrees not equaling skill
