macelena 1,070 Posted October 19, 2009 the recent downing of a police helicopter in rio may hamper its image. Well, remember London July 7 (RIP) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OvS 8 Posted October 21, 2009 I feel thats the best choice. Who wants to go to Chicago? Man.... I can WAIT to see the Women's Beach Volleyball competitions!!!! RIO! Awesome choice. Obama thinking Chi-town was a good candidate was purely politically driven. I think San Diego, would have been a better offering from the USA. Heck, even Miami would have been nicer.

JediMaster 451 Posted October 21, 2009 I don't know where in Miami it could've been done, there's no space left to build anything and nothing already there is really suitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abhi 3 Posted October 22, 2009 at least the Brazilian govt is doing something (btw $100 million is very huge money for a police dept.,are they trying to arm every policeman with G-36's). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverbolt 104 Posted October 22, 2009 at least the Brazilian govt is doing something (btw $100 million is very huge money for a police dept.,are they trying to arm every policeman with G-36's). funny that the last budget the government of Rio Just Used 27%, while there, they cops on the smalest payment of the country. dude, that's not good definatelly, specially cause it smells corruption, but i'm in the hope the things change.

shotdown 8 Posted October 27, 2009 Dammit, i think Madrid was the best choice. Most things were already built and prepared. And whatever else that neede to be built, we could pay with the treasure as soon as we find it (ask Danny DeVito about that) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
