Do you discriminate against disabled people? – I bet you do! And I bet you didn’t even know it yourself.
Take this simple test:
How many hours did you spend watching the Olympics? This figure is A.
How many hours did you spend watching the Paralympics? This figure is B.
If A > B, then you discriminate against disabled people.
The Happy Hermit 
I’m guessing I must be racist, because I didn’t watch and don’t have a clue what A or B is.
BTW, I didn’t watch any unracist sports either, except what my wife held me captive.
Rats! I thought I’d be off the hook if both A&B were zero. (Not totally true – I DID actually catch a bit of each opening ceremony, but since those weren’t really sporting events, I figure they don’t really count.)
So let me guess – I don’t discriminate against disabled people, but I DO discriminate against sports? Hey, they discriminated against me FIRST, otherwise the dang games wouldn’t be so HARD! :D
What’s my score for not owning a TV?
=> less time wasted => higher quality of life
But she has internet, you have to include that in the equation – it’s the modern time-waster ;)
And I don’t need to mention that you can watch tv online these days.
This is nuts… What if A < B? Would you say that I discriminate "not disabled" people?
Probably not…
What’s the equation like if the television stations in my country did not even deign give us the opening ceremony of the Paralympics live? Is it discrimination by proxy? I watched a little of both, by the way.
If only America televised the Paralympics! I would be able to answer!
… and if you want even more rabid discrimination…

is this guy for real or just plain crazy! haha Wow. I guess I’m racist also because I did not attend the black history parade held in town last February. Oh and I did not go to the Native American Culture awareness expose in town. Oh and I don’t like sushi. Oh and I don’t care for french fries and french toast. :) Come on – this is taken to an absurdly offensive extreme. I watch what is entertaining for me – not to provide actual support to the athletes. The Paralympics is not entertaining to me so I don’t watch it. Some people like watching football, some golf, some news channels, some cartoons. Who cares! When the Paralympics are found entertaining to me I will watch them until then I’ll stick with what I find worth my time. I’m sure there are some amazing athletes that have over come some amazing challenges but that does not mean I need to watch, support, or care for them beyond any care I would give another human-being. I don’t turn on the 10 o’clock news at night to support the local news anchors. Do you??? I almost feel I’m being discriminated against for not being disabled. Well that was fun. have a good day.
Two questions: if I watched about 75 seconds of Olympic coverage and none of Paralympics, but I once spent a couple weeks volunteering at Paralympics but never at regular Olympics, do I discriminate against disabled people or against non-disabled people?
And 2: How come your question about 2016 Olympics has comments from 2012? Are you now traveling in time too?
1) That makes you a very good person whose example puts other people who just sit at home and write blogs to shame.
2) I admit that this post is recycled from the last Olympic Games in 2012.
