"How many food has been wasted in this past month in London and surroundings."
I'm sure the athletes eat their food, and I don't think the Olympics can be blamed for Londoners who don't eat their greens
"How much more has the Thames been poisoned."
The Thames is cleaner and so has more wildlife than perhaps you'd imagine, we even had a bottlenose whale go in it once. Besides is it the Olympics fault people need to use the Thames?
"How many people have died in a car accident."
The transport systems in London were improved to cope with the Olympics and this benefit will remain.
"How many little kids, mothers, or weak have been hit with no one to protect them."
That's sad but I don't hold the Olympics responsible
"How many drugs have been consumed."
If the Olympics weren't held would there be a difference? Without that money spent, would there be less people in London doing drugs?
Also I invite you to read this http://www.number10.gov.uk/news/olympic-...acilities/
And the women's football, I was 'rooting' for your country in that.
My country's Olympics were perfect? That makes me unbelievably proud for some reason even though I had absolutely nothing to do with the games, except I sat on the sofa and watched them
I'm not so sure, they have bmx cycling and that is a skate park sport too. You can draw similarities between In Line Skating and the Diving too which is already an Olympic sport. Come to think of it they could even have synchronised In Line Skating?
