Are they anally raped and sold for cigarettes? If not they might be better lol but I'll look all the same.

I hope your kidding, I sure hope you never end up homeless and get arrested for just trying to survive, homelessness is not something to joke about Kingofkaboom, there are people with aspergers who also have to live on the streets, so think about that as you sleep in a warm bed your mommy and daddy provide to you

Boy you sound a whole lot like you didn't read all of my posts

What's the point of boycotting the Games?

The Games are coming--end of story. The sponsorships are sold, the media rights have been sold, the tickets have been sold. The Canada Line has bee built, the Sea-to-Sky expanded. It's all done. Boycotting is a pointless exercise.

If you want to make the point of waste, and focus attention on the ongoing issues on the DTES, the better approach is to get the message out there. Encourage people to come--encourage people to see both sides of Vancouver, the good and the bad.

Embarass the City into using its accumulated Civic Amenity Grants and its housing fund to restore the public housing components of the Olympic Village development. (And restore the cuts to city services, while we're at it).

Meanwhile, if you want to deflate the Olympic movement, boycott the sponsors. Don't watch NBC television, don't drink Coke products, don't eat at McDonalds, don't use Samsung electronics, GE light bulbs or Acer computers. Don't wear Nike shoes. Don't use a Visa card. And tell each and every company why you are making that choice.

that's why I asked if you were kidding, also I wrote this before my coffee and was half awake on 3 hours sleep

So, are you going to boycott the 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. The city plans to bulldoze at lease half of the slums to build hotels, Olympic venues, roads, etc......They also plan on building huge walls around the rest of the slums to keep them away form the Olympic areas.

Chicago would have done the same exact thing if they got the bid. Of course a lot the taxpayers money would have gone to the corrupt Chicago politics and their associates.

The Olympics committee is one of the nastiest bunch of fascists in the world.
