My question is - why does India suck so badly at the Olympics?

Too much curry.  Not enough resources.  All their money goes toward basics.  Olympics are for a country with an enough of a surplus.

They got a freaking SPACE program, and nuclear weapons!  - and the rural poverty in india cannot be worse than in China, for example.

Its a matter of prioritys, China see's the olympics as a big propaganda tool, and India could give a shit.

I'd agree with that, but the sheer NUMBER of peopel in India should suggest that there would be some individual performers, right??

I mean, the Danish government doesn't really support sports, but the tiny little country has FAR more olympic medals than India.

I seriously just don't get it.   I guess the explanation has to be that they don't care -but that seems odd for a people that is obsessed with breaking Guniess Book records!

I wonder if the earth can feed that many people? DAMN! It seems were overfishing the sea, We have to slaughter millions of chickens etc. because of disease, add to that cows also. I just always wonder can the earth stand that many humans?

Also, where are they all gonna work? Industry keeps evolving into machines doing more work with less people. What then?

Ponderous, Really ponderous!

I was listening to some guy who studies populations and he said the same thing India will over take China and China's pop will actually decrease as the rate of replacement has dropped dramatically. Actually he said in the vast number of nations it has only very few are reproducing at a rare to maintain or increase their pop. He said the U.S. is JUST above it's rate of replacement and Mexicos is actually going down.
