i wanted to say f the olympics but that might get me arrested. no shit, it could happen.
our provincial government has introduced a law allowing city workers to enter people's homes to remove any anti-olympic signs. i'm not making this up:
OLYMPIC LUNACY
the olympic police are also clandestinely observing any olympic protests. protesters are paid a visit by undercover rcmp olympic security forces. not only are protesters paid a visit, friends and relatives of protesters are also paid a visit. once again, i'm not making this up.
OLYMPIC POLICE STATE
the olympics of the 21st century have become nothing more than a sanitary corporate exercise in profits. or in the case of vancouver, a big money losing event. the budgets put forth by the olympic organizing committees were basically a pile of shit. for example they estimated security costs at about $200 million. we later found out the security costs for the 2006 winter games in turin italy were closer to a billion bucks. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the cost of security in 2010 wouldn't be 80% cheaper than in 2006. prices tend to go up rather than down when governments are involved.
there are countless other clusterfucks around the 2010 games but it's time for me watch a little tv.

That is crazy...I am gald I am not in a town where they are preparing for this event..it has to be chaos.
Oh Happy Thanksgiving..did I already say that?
what sage said..
peoples just getting stupider and stupider
sage - thanks but i'm not looking forward to dinner with all the carnivores. i'd be happy with a peanut butter and jam sandwich.
yellowdog - chicago is real lucky they didn't get the games. i'm sure the good people of london are getting sick their preparations.
How about a sign in your window reading:
'Listen to the government,and be an athletic supporter!'..or:
'Help bring half-naked Asian gymnasts to Canada!'?..
..and Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
Those damn turtles got me again-- I am amazed by the Olympic stuff-- I really didn't think Canada was as crazy as the U.S. I do like Sling's suggestion.
The Vancouver Olympics could have cheaper security. I mean, who can find it. Put signs on the official's lawns saying Free tickets to the Olympics with their phone numbers on them.
Friends and relatives of protesters? God, that's surreal.
Happy Thanksgiving!
"Best in all the land."
I've heard that before. It's usually the most mediocre in all the land.

No shit? Well, fuck the Olympics, I'm not afraid of no Canadian kops.
My twin lives in Chicago and is very relieved that they got snubbed. Easy to see why.
Now that floors me! How crazy.
I don't like the Olympics... well, except for the luge. I don't spend money on it. I often wonder why other people do.
sling - good idea on the gymnasts as long as they're female.
bob - we do everything on a scale of 1/10. i think a lot of the lunacy is driven by the I.O.C. those guys are total primadonas.
mr wit - you're right if it's foggy up the mountain. i used to ski whistler and when the fog rolls in all bets are off. of course el nino could wash out the whole deal.
tex - i'll usually settle for second best in all the land. it still makes me wake up on the floor.
secret - we're just lucky the rcmp haven't tasered any protesters yet.
bbc - watch out for canadian cops. they recently tasered a confused polish guy to death.
allan - i voted against the olympics and most people i know voted against them. the whole thing reeked of an iranian vote.
ananda - i don't mind the olympic events, it's the corporate greed that gets to me.
It is ridiculous that the govt. is cracking on down on people expressing their opinions. If there was hate or violence involved then I can understand the govt. stepping in. And as far as the costs go I am sure they are going to be mind-boggling once it is all said and done, and then there will be all those fancy new buildings that will be idle in about 2 years.
A Canadian kop can not come here and taser me when I'm sitting here being peaceful and minding my own business.
Not without me blowing his brains out with a rifle, I have the right to be left alone as long as I'm in my own space and not fucking with anyone else other than stating my opinions.
mr shife - yeah but we're getting a bob sled track. disneyland doesn't even have one of those.
bbc - haven't you heard, the mounties always get their man.
bbc - haven't you heard, the mounties always get their man.
Do you enjoy your fiction? The dead ones didn't.
bbc - i love fiction especially if it has science in front of it.
You sure are a sarcastic bastard.
I know, you love us sons a bitches. :-)
so glad we didn't get stuck with 'em for 2016!!
doesn't the rcmp have anything better to do?
