What’s your problem? You’ve been complaining for the past seven years that you don’t want Vancouver to host the Olympics. We get your fucking point. Can’t you shut the fuck up for two weeks and allow Vancouver and Canada to have its moment.
Jackasses.

not another bitch about those fucking olympics, jesus christ people,give it the fuck up. we got the idea that if you don’t like it, don’t watch it, we also know it’s plastered all over the fucking place,and the sport nuts love it. but jesus, give us a fucking break here, will you. i shoyuld have stayed in fucking bed.
You tell ’em Life Sucks !
So far the only olympics I’ve seen or heard or read about has been right here !
Which is about 100 times as much Olympics as I want to hear, see, or read about !
These idiots are nothing more than professional protesters. They will be off doing the seal hunt next week.
The police and riot squad should corral all the “professional protesters” in a stadium and club the filth to a bloody pulp and award medals for best clubbing. Any leftovers should be put through the wood chipper as in Fargo.
I find the office cooffee makes me angrier than normal.
Yay for the seal hunt! As a seal hunt supporter, no amount of protesters, PETA propaganda, or celebrity visits can stop us from hunting those seals… and I’m damn proud of that!
But Bobby, did you know that PETA’s seal hunt protesters are already in Vancouver? They’re using the Olympics to draw as much attention as possible to the east coast and our “murderous ways”. They have an international audience there, and will probably gain a few more foreign supporters.
if you don’t want to read the olympics bitches, why the FUCK do you keep CLICKING ON THEM?
They’re fucking tagged and everything.
twat weasel
We should be using the Olympics to push our seal products & more importantly get people from Japan, & China eating seals. After all the Chinese will eat just about ANYTHING ! Plus what they don’t or can’t eat, they dry, & crush into a powder & take it as medicine, or as an aphrodisiac. People think about it, any animal that can get & keep a hardon in subfreezing temperatures, while humping a hot mama seal on an ice floe has got to be seen has having some kind of sexual prowess !
AlsoLook at Japan, they’ve got all these research vessels in Antarctica doing scientific research on Whales & bringing them home so the japanese people can do their own taste tes…I mean research. Hell, we should see what they think about seal meat ! For one thing the harvest is Govenrment approved, there’s no Whale protesters slaming their boats into the research vessels in the cold unpoliced waters of Antarctica, they can stay home with their honies & eat nutricious delishious seal blubber.
We just need better marketing people handling this industry.
Plus I just thought of India, they’ve got over a billion people & they got that “don’t eat the cows” thing going on, well what about seal meat ? It sure a s hell ain’t cow, and its got to be loaded withlot’s of good stuff, don’t believe me ask an Innuit !
Yes siree, Seal …the other read meat !
We just have to get this out to more markets & we can grow this industry again.
PS-any Nova Scotia beef farmer thought about selling bulls to the Spanish ? I hear they go through a bunch of them each year .
Wow, someone is bitter! If you are so pissed off, get out and protest the protesters.
I saw some here on Saturday protesting a few thousand miles too far away to matter. My beef is that the city held a plebiscite a few years back asking if the people of Vancouver were OK with hosting the event (after they won the bid to host mind you, but still). They voted yes, so I’m perfectly OK with this, and the protesters should be too.
The thing is . . .
. . . is that the idiot protesters make all protesters look bad.
I have no problem with peaceful protest, as in protesting the cost of the games, etc., which I think is valid.
But to show up at an “anti-olympic” protest holding up a sign protesting the Oil Sands . . . or smashing the windows of the Superstore (Big bad corporate sponsor! That money shoulda come from the government!!!) is not exactly drawing the right kind of attention to your cause.
It’s not going to shut down the event, and it’s not going to make people watching think “ooooh, right, the Oil Sands—gotta do something about that too.”
The thing that made my blood boil was that there were a group of white kids protesting the involvement of the 4 First Nation host partners. (Wow, dorks—NOT COOL!)
Bunch of amateurs playing at “Lookit meeee!!! I’m an ACTIVIST.”
And I bet not one of the “professional protesters” has ONE thing in their life that they do at a level of excellence even close to what the Olympic athletes—and volunteers—are doing.
Those idiots should try to earn some of their own achievements, instead of trying to deny other people the right to have theirs.
I agree entirely with Basil. These fuck-sticks wear masks, break windows and have the nerve to hide behind a “cause” so that they can cause vandalism, among other things.
Apart from some areas in the world and a few situations, if you are going to fucking protest, then have the balls to show your face. These idiots are nothing more then a bunch of thugs.
As for the Seal Hunt, I find it interesting that a place that does this to ducks
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm…
Bans seal products…Just saying
But that’s a “delicacy”, 1fallingangels1! Killing ducks/geese for fatty liver tissue is just “haute cuisine”, not disgusting seal meat and products. Can you smell the sarcasm?
Japan has condemned sealing, yet they have the largest whaling fleet in the world, and have literally fished Tuna out of existence, but hey, they’re not cute.
I read about this in the Sunday Herald. Those protesters were vandalizing other peoples’ property. What made me laugh was the article said that they were waving anarchy flags. I didn’t know anarchists assemble. I was
under the impression that true anarchists
do not assemble.
when i visited my pal in vancouver she had professional anarchists living at the end of the street… they would go anywhere to cause mayhem didn’t give a shit what is was about as long as they could smash and burn…pdg is that a vlt screen?
the thing is these “activists”are decrying lack of jobs etc. meanwhile there’s $14 hr jobs around unfilled shut the fuck up and get to work
If we have to suffer through LS’s attempts to get laid by anything who posts here and claims to have a vag, I think it’s only reasonable he has to suffer through a little bit of olympic bitching.
I mean it’s only fair.
Totally unfair, PK! LS deserves some vag. He’s been working mighty hard for it lately.
Isn’t this Canada’s Olympics? Ho Hum………..I’m rooting for Hockey Canada!
yes q, that i am, and still no meat for my table,uh uh.
