[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;41653908]the olympic stadium[/QUOTE] You are aware that this is the winter olympics
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;41653907]I don't recognize the word as something that should have sexual subtext. Historically, it didn't use to have it, and nowadays it's losing it again. In case I have offended anybody else but than the politician who can go fuck himself anyway, I apologize for that, but I doubt that's the case.[/QUOTE] Yeah I realise you didn't intend for it to be offensive since it is used so frequently on the Internet, but it's a word that people should probably use less considering the homophobia that's so prevalent currently.
man even hitler wasn't that bad russia somehow managed to make hosting the olympics in nazi germany look good in comparison

"Let's arrest internationals at the top of their physical peak." Good fuckin' luck Russia.
well, guess we better move the olympics somewhere else then
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;41654174]"Let's arrest people internationals at the top of their physical peak." Good fuckin' luck Russia.[/QUOTE] what if usain bolt was gay? good luck catching him
You know I wondered when Putin's inner KGB would come out.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;41653386]The International Olympic Committee should either pick another country or cancel the games entirely if it's too late. You can't host an international event in a nation where human rights abuses are routinely committed and [i]will[/i] interfere with the games.[/QUOTE] THe IOCC is far too corrupt for that.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;41653479]Do they choose a Plan B country just in case for situations like this?[/QUOTE] I honestly doubt the IOC care tbh, but it'd be nice if they did
[QUOTE=Scot;41653892]Where would it be? Xscape?[/QUOTE] Scotland has enough snow, it could work. I went skiing in May this year.
[QUOTE=Blind Lulu;41654337]This is really blowing my mind. Doesn't Russia have a LOT more things to worry about than what gender people are attracted to? This world is going to shit and all these people care about is who is taking the dick.[/QUOTE] the main thing the people in charge of russia are worried about is the possibility of it's citizens eventually becoming knowledgeable enough to realize how fucked and shit their leadership is. keeping the masses ignorant and throwing boogeymen for them to focus on keeps them in power
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;41654354]Scotland has enough snow, it could work. I went skiing in May this year.[/QUOTE] It's really hit or miss though whether we get enough or not. We're either buried or flooded.
[QUOTE=Scot;41654391]It's really hit or miss though whether we get enough or not. We're either buried or flooded.[/QUOTE] Up on the mountains there's almost always enough. Even during the heatwave we got in January I still managed to get some good runs in during it.

Considering most of the Russian population is a strong orthodox believer, the government doing this kind of shit will actually be approved by the masses and make them like the government despite how they're leading. Putin knows what he's doing, he's ex-KGB after all.
God damn, Russia. This is the 21st century, not the 12th. Quit treating gay people like topsoil.
[QUOTE=Killuah;41654263]THe IOCC is far too corrupt for that.[/QUOTE] Only if you have money to bribe them This is Russia we're talking about
I honestly think there'll be a boycott of the games. Imagine if most of the athletes just didn't show up.
Olympic games in Maine 2014.
190 days until the games not much time to switch it to somewhere else.
[QUOTE=The Worm;41654640]Olympic games in Maine 2014.[/QUOTE] antarctica
[QUOTE=jordguitar;41654799]190 days until the games not much time to switch it to somewhere else.[/QUOTE] If they can't switch I'd like to see all the athletes come out with rainbow pro-LGBT pins. Hit Russia with a big dose of "illegal homosexual propaganda".
We can have them in Canada again, so we can kick everyones ass on our home turf
Ok with the anti-gay law and so on, but this is simply way too much.
Given that the IOC was happy to host the 2008 games in a dictatorship I don't think a single anti-gay law is going to make them move it
[QUOTE=Loures;41654874]Ok with the anti-gay law and so on, but this is simply way too much.[/QUOTE]How is that ok? How is it acceptable in any form?
if u arrested all the gay athletes then there wouldnt be any left??
Male Figure skating is going to get cancelled due to lack of participation.
gay people have no place in an event traditionally performed by nude greeks
