Sochi Olympics

[steamboat1]

Do you really think they'd do anything during the Olympics to an athlete with the world's media spotlight on them? I don't...no matter what anti-gay law they have on the books.

20 lashes with a wet noodle.

I was trying to stay out of this mess but I think it is more directed to non athletes who may be attending the Olympics.

Clearly true...I just thought it was odd that a skater would think his mere presence makes a statement when he doesn't live there.

You're right. Because torturing them first before killing them is different.

I'm a history buff and have an interest in the subject. All I was doing was pointing out why you were chronologically wrong re: WWII.

Also, I dont know anything about the story you linked above - I dont generally take "blogs" to be legitimate news sources, at least not when I know nothing about them, and I'm unfamiliar with this one. That said, it should probably be pointed out to you (and the blogger) that Ukraine is not "in" Russia, nor is it a part of Russia. Ukraine is a separate country, and has been for > 20 years or so.

How about this author's suggestion? Ban Russia from their own Olympics. It's an action the IOC, which chose Sochi in the first place, can take.

Ridiculous is the first adjective that comes to mind.

And you can go back watching MSNBC and comrade Matthews!!!!!:uzi:

Take a moment and Google search "cable news" and "ratings", and you'll find that virtually nobody watches MSNBC. I think the average person would be shocked if they realized how poor that network's ratings are. Some nights they dont even average 500,000 viewers (dead serious).

Happily married for 27 years.

How about you?

Happily married for 27 years.

So you are having no sex. :lol:

How about you?

Lost my wife to cancer 5 years ago. But I have a great girlfriend.

If you are going to start bringing religion into it you shouldn't be having/performing any oral sex and I really hope you waited until you got married ... and birth control that's bad too.

Sorry for your loss.

I heard those stats last week also. Like less than 0.5% audience. Th other stat was that Fox and CNN was about 50:50 for opinion to actual news. MSNBC was over 75% opinion to news. It might even be higher.

I also heard that Putin is going to allow Obama masks at all the events!!!!!

MSNBC does not say what they do is News, Fox and CNN both are paid by donations to political parties, so you have to take that for what it is, Fox is entertaining more then MSNBC and I am a liberal but I listen to ABC AM in the morning from 10 am to 12 pm because I find that show entertainment more then liberal radio, but I don't agree with most of the shows talking points.

 

[darent]

maybe Russia will boycott their own Olympics to protest American troops in Afganistan!!

It's the oldest conflict known to man. The Secular vs. Religion. Shouldn't be surprising how Gay rights are smack in the middle of things. Goes all the way back to Sodom and Gomorrah.

So, if telling gays and lesbians to STFU wasn't enough, now Putin is telling everyone to STFU.......

IOC should pull the plug........Russia doesn't deserve to host the games and the financial reward it may bring. Sucks for the athletes training for the event no doubt, but between all of the BS from Russia and the threats from Chechen rebels, enough is enough.
