Should a country be refused entry into the Olympics if other nations feel they should use whatever money they are investing into their athletes to feed their starving nation instead?

There is always a question of priorities. Even nations like the United States and Canada can be encouraged to feed and clothe their poor before indulging in extracurricular activities. No doubt, some poor are poor by choice, and others have no choice. I would like to see a portion of government funding relegated to those unable to work. Unfortunately, the machinery required to design and operate a program like this would cost a bundle. Unfortunately, where there is money, there is greed. The poor are deserving of the help, but someone may just beat them to it.

That is the most outrageously paternalistic perspective I have ever heard in my life. And people say we Australians of British origin are paternalistic. That is nothing compared to your perspective. If I turned up in Outback Australia and sang Rule Britannia, I couldn’t be more outrageous. Do you not recognize the right of these countries to self-determination?
