Olympic Protest Feb 2010 Victoria BC

if only vanoc and the ioc had some decency, some consideration for those they're stealing from. 6 billion of our tax dollars are being re-directed for an elitist event while children go homeless and hungry. is this the best civilization can muster? victoria residents, many first nations peoples among them, voiced their dissent.

Meh, I dont really care about that so much, they lied in saying it was green. Dont get me wrong i love the spirit of the games, but could have been way greener.

6 billion

divided by 4 million people in BC

= $1500/per person

Spread that out over 15 years and your bill will be

$8.33 per month for the next 15 years.

$8.33? thats not a lot. Not to mention the Federal government will be taking a huge chunk out of the total cost.

get over your 8.33 whiners. Quit smoking, doing drugs, or better yet, don't go for coffee 2 days out of a month. Problem solved. Time to enjoy your life rather then whining.

Fascinating, how easy it is for people to blame government and blame the world instead of taking responsibility for your own choices.

choose freely.

Here's a thought - stop using heroin. That's no one's choice but the person who belongs to the arm the poison is shot into. Not the olympics. Start taking responsiblity for yourselves for a change instead of expecting a hand out by everyone else. Get capable!

Fucking racist scum. Go watch your useless hole in the wall. PEOPLE ARE ENTERTAINED BY NOTHING!!! If only you actually stood for something instead of saying stupid ass comments. I don't give a fuck where you came from or where your ancestors came from but remember we are all from the same planet. Open your eyes and open your heart.

Okay is this dirty swine in the green jacket a dude or a chick???

fucking government failed, they should have steralised all these bums in the residential schools.

"We're all a bunch of losers and we're too stupid to let the govt pay us to attend university and give us cushy patronage appointments later that aren't even close to being based on merit"

"If we wanted to, we could better ourselves and become productive members of society but we're too busy complaining about the past and a system that wont change no matter what anyone does"

"Let's take the streets back. We can't positively communicate our issues so lets fuck things up for everyone else."

[BrianTerrill]

I wish the police would just plow down liberal protesters, everywhere you look libs are breaking windows and demanding that we give all of our money to homeless people who only will buy booze with it
