Shared interests

[oxfordhacker]

I find it easy to assume that everyone on my friends basically shares my views on everything. Indeed, I've seen it suggested that this is one of the bad things about internet socialisation: you never have to interact with anyone you don't want to, which can leave you with a too-homogenous world-view. Perhaps, then, it is good for me to be reminded we don't all agree. Some people's posts on the Olympics have done exactly this, leaving me with a curiousity that can only be satisfied with a poll:

[Poll #1244656]

Comments

It's at least quickie-worth for two reasons...

1. The ridiculous eye-candy of women's beach volleyball *g*

2. The non-reported political aspects to China's Olympics - and my own Burmese interests, of course.
