Give Manhunt: Unabomber a try.

Based on a true story and he was a victim of the CIA/ MK Ultra at Harvard in the 60s. The unabomber was 16 when he went to Harvard and they destroyed him.

Not necessarily them. They're are others in the world that are more upset with recent actions by the Turks.

The coup itself was not a success but what it intended to do has started.
CIA involvement to make an already volatile and unstable country implode.

Your spot on there ed, agree with that. mclroy said he wouldn't even watch it, anyway is golf really an Olympic sport.

14 Jul 2016 11:22:27
You're right Garbo he played through all the underage competitions for Ireland, and it came as a surprise when he seemed to seriously consider representing Britain in the Olympics before he finally chose Ireland.

He never really wanted to compete in the Olympics, but was under pressure from different interests such as the golfing establishment and sponsors amongst others. Opting to withdraw was always going to bring a heap of criticism on him.

I didn't say that McIlroy didn’t identify himself as Irish though, so I'm not sure where you got that from. He is painfully aware given where he comes from that no matter which country he represents he will probably offend someone, and I think he is hugely relieved not to be going to Rio.

If McIllroy didn’t identify himself as Irish why did he represent Ireland in all the underage competitions growing up? I do believe the decision was made by Nike but don’t see how he gets respect for it! To me he is a little brat that when asked a hard question turns on everything, he stated he wouldn’t watch Golf in the Olympics as he would watch 'something that mattered', that's his game he is slating there and friends that are playing in it. The guy is a douche whether he's Irish, English or whatever!

Lol something very funny indeed.

He won't lose any sleep over what those two say, but the real reason is not Zika, or a lack of respect for the Olympics. Rory has a huge sponsorship deal with Nike, and they rejected an approach from Pat Hickey to sponsor the Irish Olympic team, as they felt (rightly) that he was about to declare for Ireland. Hickey then went to New Balance and struck a deal for them to sponsor the Irish team.

Nike didn't really expect McIlroy to declare for Ireland as he had already intimated that he might declare for Britain. But in the end he declared for Ireland and suddenly Nike were faced with the possibility that he could be on the podium wearing New Balance gear.

In the end the diplomatic (some might say cynical) thing to do was to withdraw from the Olympics under the pretence of a concern about Zika despite Rory having said previously that he wasn't terribly worried about it.

In the last few days he has gone up in my estimation. The real politique of Northern Ireland culture can be very nuanced and confusing even for people who grew up on this island. Religion is very defining in terms of how you are identified, regardless of how you identify yourself.

Barry McGuigan is a good example of someone who tried to please everyone and ended up picking sides anyway. He is from Ulster, but he is not from Northern Ireland. Some of you may find that confusing but it is true. He is seen by some people as a man who effectively defected to the other side.

Rory McIlroy doesn't seem to want to discuss his religious or ideological beliefs publicly. He really only wants to talk about golf. He doesn't want to upset anyone who thinks he identifies with being Irish or British, as he knows no matter what he does in respect of Olympic representation he will be seen to take sides.

In the end Nike made the decision to withdraw from the Olympics an easy one for him.

I heard dodgy geezers hang out at golf courses, Sanogo :-)

13 Jul 2016 22:06:52
Just the way they play, you can tell they're criminals :-)

28 Jun 2016 13:38:36
I was being sarcastic, thatcher sold our country out but at least she was up front and honest about it which is more than I can say about Dave.

28 Jun 2016 13:05:09
Thatcher? Seriously?

28 Jun 2016 11:31:31

Both John Major and Gordon Brown succeeded a serving prime minister without a general election. Although the circumstances now are different.

They are all stamping their feet and throwing toys out of the pram. Pretty ridiculous really.

27 Jun 2016 23:53:47
Just how they act now says it all.
