  FI: I know it will not happen in S'pore. Does anyone think we have enough money to build the facilities?

  yes they will, if there's the space.
  
  go read up before shooting your mouth, the economical benefits overshadows the costs by many many many many folds, only problem is Singapore is so small.
  
  Even if we find the place to build all the facilities required, you still have to build the Olympic Village to house everyone.
  And not forgetting several new hotels to fit all the tourists and spectators, the whole island will sink man

  and singapore's too damned straight to be able to bribe all the damned corrupt IOC parasites into giving us the games...

  Also, I don't think Singapore is willing enough to allocate enough logistics to host the Olympics. You see this IOC session plan until like that already.....what more the Olympics....
  
  Imagine the Olympics in Singapore and in order to tighten security, they re-call all active NSmen for one month straight and deploy them all over the island.

  lol.. also better to not host in singapore.. takes up too much money from the gov i guess.. and i think singapore is already struggling to keep her economy stable.. the money can be more well spent to help or improve singaporean's standard of living.. what do you say?
  
  plus.. its gonna be quite shameful if singapore doesnt even win a medal at all.. LOL
