Call to move the Winter Olympics

[Trajan]

It isn't a world civil rights issue. It is a gay issue not shared by non-gays. However, it is American gays that are protesting the Olympics and want it moved.

Russia is correct. They do not want American putrid corruption spread in their country. This is their right.

It most certainly IS a world civil rights issue...not only are these draconic laws against gay people, they are against anyone who expresses support for gay people, rainbow flags, holding hands in public with someone else of the same sex, etc.

Can you imagine if they did the same against people of a certain religion and their supporters?

sounds like you are seriously wound up over this..... hold up a a second though, If I may; where were you ( and obama) was silent on Irans punishment of same and their last 2 elections where in those voted into office had/have horrid civil rights records, especially gay rights

riiiight, ok then.......



time to replace the batteries on ye olde selective outrage meter then....*yawn*

Aren't we already boycotting Iran? Aren't there sanctions against them already? Or did I miss the lifting of those sanctions?

 

[Pete7469]

Why don't ya' just have your own Gay Olympics?

That would make a hole new concept of "pole vaulting" wouldn't it?

Would straight guys get to compete in muff diving?

 

[Katzndogz]

You are under the impression that the sanctions against Iran are for their treatment of gay people and NOT their development of nuclear weapons. Really?

Go to Russia, protest and maybe you will be rewarded by being put in the same cell as Pussy Riot.

So....how do we "double down" on sanctions when they are already in place, Katzdogz?

Sounds like a great idea!

No doubt the sport of 'pole vaulting' would be quite popular. ..

Damn... you thought of it first.

There are NO sanctions against Iran for their laws against homosexuality. Nor against any other country that discriminates against homosexuals. Nor should there be.

I don't see Iran hosting the Olympics

 

[Yurt]

if the IOC wants to move the olympics, they are free to do so

russia does not have a right to host the olympics

Let's think of it from a practical standpoint.

Are you aware of how much money has been spent for the 2014 Olympics there already? Do you have any idea how much money would be spent if they moved it to a new city? Do you honestly think any other city could be ready considering the Olympics are in less than 6 months? They would have to cancel the games altogether.

Boycott the games if you want. No one forces you to go or watch. But let other people have their freedom to go or watch. Dont punish the athletes because you don't like the laws of Russia. Especially when you actively defend Muslim countries who are far worse.

I do? When? They're scumbags and always have been.

I also understand they plan on arresting people that are nude in public.....

Are you sane?

I don't see Chicago hosting the Olympics either, and obama tried for it too.

We are totally sane....how come you won't answer my question earlier?

 

[Katzndogz]

Are you aware that there was a vote and Russia won?

Which drivel was it?

Before these new draconic laws that WILL effect people going to the Olympics.

Why haven't you answered my question from before, Katzdogz? Do I need to repeat it?
