Ok so my love of hockey won out over my loathing of the Olympics, and I watched the Olympic Hockey. I have to say that both the women’s and men’s team were Great and both won gold. But should this make me a proud Canadian? My answer is yes and NO. Yes because we have shown the world that we as a nation Rule the Sport. No because how can I be proud of a country that spends $6.5 BILLION on the Olympics when there are people here in Canada that have to make a choice between feeding their family or paying rent. Come on people: is our image as a country defined by how good we are at sports, or should it be defined by how we treat our own citizens? We have traded our reputation for having the best health care and education system in the world to winning the most … [Read more...]
Welcome to the Dictatorship
Welcome to the Fascist Dictatorship of British Columbia. Where we are ruled by Alcoholic White Trash by the name of Gordon Campbell. Now you may be asking yourself why is BC a dictatorship? The answer is simple Gordon Campbell and the Liberal party of BC have spent money on frivolous shit. The Olympics are just the tip of the mountain.

Why Americans LOVE CANADA
A friend sent this to me this morning; this is by NO MEANS to be taken as a sign I am supporting the Olympics, or I like Americans but NBC has just become my favourite American broadcaster.[vsw id="HfVyix1xC3I" source="youtube" width="425" height="344" autoplay="no"] But lets discuss the Olympics for a moment. I have been doing some thinking and maybe there might be some thing good to come from the Olympics. Maybe a new category for the Darwin Awards for Olympic Athletes. The First one can go to the Georgian Luge guy. Now let me give you some good solid arguments against the Olympic Games; $100 million for the Fastest Luge track in the world and because of one guy everybody will be starting from the women’s start Point. I guess as far as the Olympics are … [Read more...]
Olympic luger dies in training-run crash
The Olympics had not even begun and they had their first fatality. The Games were an hour from Opening and this poor bastard was on a training run. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/35369187/ Let me say I am proud of Canada and I think Canadian athletes are the best at what they do. But if the Millions of dollars were not enough to say these games are worthless how many more fatalities will it take? And before you all start saying it is a risk he knew about I will say BULLSHIT!!! Why is it acceptable for a man to die in OVER priced GAMES? If you truly think that these games are not anything more then Propaganda then you have proven the point that the money spent on these games was really needed for education. All these people want to do is to show the world how … [Read more...]
I am God, now fuck off and DIE
So it seems that one of the brainless fucks out there has decided to challenge my opinion on the Olympics. I will post his comment here but I have also approved it on the original post (click this link to read the post and this idiots comment http://www.thecrankyoldbastard.com/nwobastd/yea-whatever/10-reasons-to-boycott-the-olympics-in-vancouver/#comments) Well you really are a blowhard aren’t you. Considering that the particular mountain that the Olympics are planned for has a history of not having snow on it in the middle of February. Guess you are as stupid as the rest of the world in thinking that global warming is real. When in history we have had cooler temperatures throughout the globe in the past few years. Your should really support your stupid … [Read more...]
