The only kind of sochi I like is when it's mostly rice wrapped in seaweed.

i'm cheering for the fags.

also gg for the corruption with the construction deals

in german language there is a funny interview with Wladimir Kaminer about sochi.

Sven Kramer will win 3 gold medals. (2 of which individual)

its a stupid waste of money, russia is like africa, they disasembled most of the factoreies and sold it for scrap metal to build some stupid stadiums that no one cares about. no is going to work there, no is going to get paid after olympics is over. i thinks usa sponsored it, i cant see how russian taxpayers would care about spending so much money if they dont have even enough food or shelter. russia is like a wasteland right now, they could have at least spend that money for housing. they are either retarded or act under direct orders of us of a.

Judging from the information in the european media it's more that a few russians are insanely wealthy and want to host the olympics as a show of their power.

Russia is one of the major exporters of oil and gas. Corruption just leads to that money going towards only several people in the whole of russia rather than improving the overall wealth of the country.

Dunno if that's true as I don't know the details... but in general it comes from sources I would be inclined to trust.

or it maybe a purposful waste of money so that the country stays poor and not a threat to usa dominant power. (think like germany after ww2 being occupied by allies)

To me that would make no sense at all... But I guess only Putin and Obama would know for sure if that was the case.

Sounds kinda far fetched to me though.

well i mean they completely destroyed all the factories in the ninieties and most of other infrastructure that they said was outdated due to market economy, as in completely smashed everything to pieces including hightech eletronics factories and sold it for scrap metal. it was completely rushed and unlawful. looks more like war preventative measure than market economy if you just completely disasemble everything without a clue where would people work after that. i for once dont believe ussr was corrupt or economy didnt work, actually problems with food supply were artificially created by gorbachev with perestroika, there was no real shortage, kinda like what happens right now with ukraine, they create artificial means to break up the country.

right.............
Paranoia?

its life unfortunately. there wasnt a single country in ussr that now lives better under "democracy".

poles and czechs are doing fine, no? Main reason being they are right at the borders of western europe

LEL Eat less Chernobyl potats :D

what is democracy if not usa control of the country. have you ever seen a "democracy" that wasnt controlled by usa, regardless how badly people live in those countries. people in ussr lived much better, they didnt die in huge numbers like now. for usa democracy is when the government of a country is controlled by usa, and people die.

Now while I agree with some of the stuff you said earlier this time around you are just being wrong.

wrong with what? that ussr is now a wasteland after it became a "demoscracy", you see usa only calls ukraine a demoscracy when a pro western puppet is controlling it. there is no change for the people, only the ruling class changes, people continue living a shitty life, all usa cares about is exploiting other contries to support its overgrown economy.

they called yeltsin a democrat and he smashed the whole country with peices, same with gorbachev, they are all exctatic with leaders that betray their own people to please usa.

a democracy should not require a war like destruction of economy and civil conduct

ussr was already a democracy all party leaders came from people. a demoscracy isnt about being a puppet of usa.

while you think its good to have usa as a leader, that will cause to have a center that overflowing with money that is unsustainable uinless the rest of the world is slaving off to support their overgrown economy. democracy is used as a coverup to support exploitatation of less developed countries, who cant resist weaponized invasion by usa. once usa invades a country, it becomes the opposite of democracy, they destroy all the industry and leave it off as a source of natural resources, completely defensless, people start to die cause there is no industry, ussr became a wasteland,.

You know what, after seeing the gibberish you just wrote in those 5 posts of yours I have decided to not even argue with you.
You've joined my list of people not worth the hassle to argue with, somewhere among the Jamerios, Zhus and a big bunch of fat-ass dumb American rednecks there is your name now.

Congratulations you are a prime example why Russia has such a bad reputation in the rest of the world.

it's sad that he should care about that.

i am simply trying to defend a country where i live, i can argue that its very comfortable to defend usa living inside usa, try living in eastern europe, after democracy and so on,

usa is leading unsustainable lifestyle, if all world population lived like usa the earth would shatter in pieces.

if only they would stop the stupid money propoganda that creates this chaos, people are fooled like if they get rich all the sudden their life will be better (equating money with spiritual growth)

modern crisis arises not from limited resources, but from the western upbringing that makes us think like we need all those things, people in africa have almost no resources and yet they are still alive and many of them are very happy, if it wasnt for wars and other violent things that kind of lifestyle with much more limited resources isnt any worse. it all comes down to what we are being told and what we think is a good life, not having any kind of material goods. people only need the most basic needs like food and shelter, the rest is really unnecessary. and if you treat these material goods like you need them, this leads to other people being treated like cattle.

and its not just about freedom vs slavery, look what your hunger for material goods creates misery for billions of people who are made your slaves.

its not like russia is an angel, if you look at your previous leaders like Stalin, etc. ... russia would have tried to conquer the world if it had the power to do it.

russia never started a large scale war on foreign land (poland and finland can be counted as civil war as it was part of russia up to 1917) before being attacked by hitler in 1941 and after that there was no any kind of large scale invasion on other countries. russia has defensive stance and they only intervene in countries that are being invaded (korea,vietnam etc), it never starts war first.

you are right about an "unsustainable lifestyle." I look around and see so much waste. Take food for example. OMG there's an abundance of it. People buy so much cheap crap here from China and look stupid when it breaks in two weeks(I've done some managing at a hardware store chain).
But with all the fat, lazy geriatrics(I call them Q-tips) here in Florida, I'm usually "SMH" all day long.

And yes oil is like a bad, corrupting addiction with casualties overwhelmingly on one side.

I dont think the us invaded russia

they did, ussr fell.

by itself

why do you keep replying to yourself over and over again ?

Cause nobody's willing to waste time replying to him.

Can you actually point out what you think is wrong?

You don't think USA is the leader of the Western civilization and the NATO alliance? You don't think it is economically exploiting every nuke and cranny it can reach with its overwhelming military force? You don't think that if a country democratically elects a leader that doesn't want to sell oil to USA they will portray that leader as a dictator and try to invade?

its not just oil, its evcertyhing else too, antisocial government policies and so on, sochi 2014 is a prime example, instead of spending that money to buy shelter or support people without job they waste it on stadiums that no one will use after olympics. huge waste of money. no doubt usa played huge role in doing things that limit government growth in their colonies in productive ways.

you sir, are amazing. thank you for entertaining me

Weren't the Senators of Sparta elected by their people? At least, that's what the movie 300 taught me...

its clear that usa probably invented some kind of weapon in the 80s or 90s

they invented it when they invented the cold war in the 50s. "radio freedom" and other propaganda has continuously fed the intelligentsia and fifth column for years. trillions and billions were constantly poured into the ideological war and it was only a matter of time until a leader like Gorbochev, who thought he was in charge of mordor, came to power and broke it down systematically and methodically. don't forget that people like Nemtsov, Chernomyrdin, Gaidar, Yeltsin, represent party members that actually had power.

russia is probably just too big and culturally diversified imho.,
but maybe now in times of electronic media that spreads everywhere this is not anymore such a factor as it was in the last centuries

Not to sound arrogant, but name me one good russian car or computer manufacturer from the 80s/90s. It is what it is. Not saying it will always be like this, russian can very well rise in the future. It is not without reason a BRIC state.

Gon' be bombs, muslims and terrorism everywhere, that's my prediction.

You can thx to Saudi Arabia and USA for that.

USA? I blame the people who are behind those acts and the person who invented that violent and sick religion.

Do you realy think that thinking in such a simple way is good?

I'll tell you how the brain work. You have opinions on everything, even things you never though about. Thats how everyone's brain works. But you dont know how you work, so you are bound to be fooled. Until you start questionning yourself about ANYTHING.

You think you have enough knowledge to say that USA is not using terrorism. You think you have enough knowledge to know why thoose terrorists do what they do. You think you know what islam is.


etc...


know thyself.

Oh and btw i am still amased to see that some people are not aware about 9/11. Even 85% of the americans understood it.

You have to understand that when we say USA we talk about the scumbag of the governments no the actual USA people...

Remember this ? http://www.islametinfo.fr/wp-content/uploads/...5_2003.jpg if you dont understand its probablt too late for you.

I question things and know what's important to know about islam (atleast when it's at its purest (9/11 prime example)). You telling me it was an inside job, 9/11? No I don't know about that dude who is he?

no no no. islam itself is very close to christianity, and blaming it is not ok. i myself know few muslims who are awesome and find current situation on middle east retarded.

blame political leaders who try to cover internal problems with big bad guy outside their country. it kinda reminds me soviet propaganda.

No doubt there's been slaughters in the name of just about any wide spread religion, and no doubt there are fanatics hiding behind any well-meant thoughts and ideals.

But comparing christianity and islam suggests either little to no education on this topic, or an absolutely demented state of mind.

"But comparing christianity and islam suggests either little to no education on this topic, or an absolutely demented state of mind. "

Just wow. Proves you know nothing of value about christianism to say such stupid things. Btw your nickname is puritan. I am not surprised.

Islam and christianism has extremly strong links. You have to be completly retarded to ignor this.

See your answer is not full of knowledge wisdom or evidences. Your answer is just expressing emotions you have towards that topic. Emotions formated by what? ;)

God gave us a brain, start using it maybe.

Yes, my name is puritan, which means that I am a zealot.

I also play quake, which means I worship violence and death.

Now move along.

Just to make it clear i do not try to defend islam or anything. Just proving how a retard you are, you are trying to justify your hate toward some people, which in your posts are clearly the muslims (which reprensent iirc at least 1/5 of the world).

Also all these semitic religions that you like so much copied everything from Mithraism and Zoroastrism. And used it to make wars and to manipulate the peoples.

But i guess an american prototype such as "puritan" does know that since he know what we are allowed to compare and what we are not rofl.

Yeah and also, puting all the muslims in one same bag like there is only 1 islam. I guess you dont know sufism for exemple. Its like saying there is only one christianism, which for the pope there is only one true, the catholicism. Its exactly like putin all the jews in the same bag thinking they are all sionists.

Poor you, fooled and fooled again :(

So easy to make you hate people, try to think about that. Read the fuckin bible again Mr "puritan". lol.

Rumi my favorite Sufi :)

Agree. That's one of the best.

He could be a quake puritan.
Or a coca-cola puritan :)

hahaha i didnt even had to call u dumbass, samuel did it for me :D

islam, christianity and judaism share similar ideas and icons. not sure if they were one religion long time ago, or just one influenced another etc etc.

Regardless of how many names or prophecies they share, the differences are so strong that comparing them is ignorance and nothing more.

no.

i would like to know what are these differencies that make them uncomparable

Then look for them yourself, Im sure ull have the motivation of proving me wrong with something else than vague knowledge.

its you who suggest some unreal things, and its you who should prove im wrong.

so basiclly, if ur not willing to do so: fuck off moron.

IIRC, only judaism and christianity share the same god (almost, since judaists don't believe that Jesus was the son of the god, and are still waiting for his arrival if i'm not wrong), while islamism is an entirely different kind of religion, even tough islamists think that Jesus was a powerful prophet. And they are monoteists. Apart from that, Allah is not the god of christinans and jews.

yes you recall correctly. however i think i've read about therory, that suggested the god of 3 big monoteist religions is the same god.

but thats not the point here, the values of all 3 religions mentioned here are basiclly the same, therefore its not fair to say islam is sick and violent religion, as maza said.

No, it absolutely cannot be said that the values of christianism, judaism and islamism are the same.
In fact, islamist values are almost opposite to the other two religions.

in that case you're a fucking ignorant moron

no u

Man this is so true!
Theres completely no comparisson between them and you are extremely educated on this topic!

I mean.... What did christians do wrong???
Maybe killing 90% of all native americans and using the entire continent of Africa as a "resource for labour" and stealing almost all resources from every country known to man.
Hmmm maybe also locking up pretty much everyone who questioned them, torturing them... burning them alive... and some other minor things.
And ofcourse there were a lot of crusades against other religions..... And even against sub-religions which are also christians...

Maybe I'm missing some other minor points.... Anyway.... These things were all done in the name of God.... So they can't possibly be bad things rigth?

How about giving people AIDS? Would that be considered wrong in any book?

But yes that 9/11 attack omfg man that was brutal nothing can ever compare to that.... And damn man they even circumcise their children.
(I don't really like their religion either.... but to say that christianity is clean compared to the shit they are doing is just wrong)

I never said that christians got it all right. No, my post actually started with "No doubt there's been slaughters in the name of just about any wide spread religion", so I dont understand what lead you to the conclusion that I'm here to defend the christian history.

People kill in the name of God, people also kill in the name of Satan or in the name of Money. Theres always an excuse if you need one.

I said : christianity and islam are the two religions that cannot be compared and I stand by that. The premisis on how to lead one's life to achieve that ultimate and heavily sought-after afterlife are simply too diferent to do so. Do some research on that.

Btw I really dont understand whats your post all about. Are you saying that terrorism is alright, because there were slaughters and injustice done in the name of some other religion before, and therefore we should try to understand and tolerate this kind of behaviour?

So the books are different on how to lead your life?

Now that's strange... because I've read pieces of the bible and I've read pieces of the islam (online translated). And they are almost identical.


My previous post kinda had the premise that you thought that christians have had a good history... I got that impression from your previous posts.

I would really not have any clue on where they are different....
Now christianity and hinduism/buddhism, those things are different. But christianity and the islam are kinda similar.

My previous post kinda had the premise that you thought that christians have had a good history... I got that impression from your previous posts.

Please, feel free to quote me. Im very curious which of my posts gave you that impression. I wasnt talking about christians or the christian history specifically at all, I only said that two religions were different.

Now that's strange... because I've read pieces of the bible and I've read pieces of the islam (online translated). And they are almost identical.

I suppose you mean pieces of quran, not islam.
Yes, there are very similar things. But only because theres the God, Jesus and Satan, it doesnt mean its the same thing. Well, not if youre all after that and only that anyway.

I guess you really want to see me as some kind of religious psycho, as that would make things easier, right?
Sorry to disappoint you. Im not here to tell you about the right path or the wrong path, its not the point. I just find it really scary when people trivialize two different things such as these and would like them to think about it for a while.

Ye I meant the quran.

But really I'm curious what is so different between the quran and the bible then?

Just any field that is "really different" in how they view society would be nice to know.

I'm just wondering how you cannot compare 2 stories which are almost identical.

Basically if you put Mohammed up on that mountain where the 10 commandments were formed and 'confuse' him with Jesus for the rest of the story.... It's pretty much the same except that Mohammed doesn't have to die to forgive your sins because Jesus already did.

Also Mohammed is not actually the son of Allah but a prophet.

The stories they tell and the views they share is about the same though.

u forgot about crusades m8

and the guy is obviously ignorant and or/heavy influence of usa news media.

no I didn't theres a line in there about crusades. I'm just less specific about them because I don't know too much about it.
I guess that if theres one thing the church is good at it's making data on their wrongdoings disapear.

yes, i must have missed it.

Hi Wierd.

I think there is no point talking anymore with people that pretend so hard to have knowledge they don't have.

He think one religion is better than another. The judaic religions (judaism, christianism and islam) are all corrupted to the bone and used politicaly since centuries.

He doesn't have the wisdom and sincerity toward himself to search for the truth.

Also talking about islam and christianism, in the christian and muslim eschatology they end up making an alliance against the devil. But shhh! he knows his shit and we are dumb ;)

You are talking like if it was a christian thing to harm peoples.
The peoples that do bad are bad because they are bad, not because bible told them "steal the shoes", "run on streets like it was gta" :-)

On the other hand, islamists do bad things mainly because it is written in their religion, but it has to be said that a great part of the islamic fanatism is overhyped, at least accoring to various islamic exponents.

theres no word in quran about doing bad things to others.


jihad, the "holy war", is a fight with yourself, with the everyday evil. however, sadly, it got used by radical leaders as a coverup, focusing the attention of people on external evil which has to be conquered.

well....... (I might be wrong) but I don't think that's correct.

At least I do know that the quran is set in a violent time with several wars raging. And I think that Muhammed actually fights in 1 or 2 of them.
But after that his 'jihad' (own struggle) leads him to a path of enlightenment or smth.

thats power of wikipedia running through me :b

wikipedia is quite dangerous on these topics.... A lot of these pages are made by religious idiots who never even read a word of their own book. Let alone touch the quran.

its similar to what my islamic friend told me, so i belive its true

Maybe you mean that the quran does not encourage violence. (which is true)
But like the bible there are many things in there about doing bad things to others.

The bible in general is also not seen as a book that is about "doing bad things to people". However Yericho falls, there are plagues over Egypt, Cain kills Abel etc.

So maybe we're getting a bit lost in semantics here ;)

http://europenews.dk/en/node/76843

Good thing that it starts with "A controversial British Member of the European Parliament".

Unfortunately for you the "calls to punish jews" by Muhammed are not part of the quran.
They are in a later book which claims to "retell the story of Muhammed". Some extreme muslims do use these books as part of their 'islamic law'. And rejecting that would be quite useful... There are quite a lot of extreme horrible things in that.
They are called the Kutub al-Sittah. And are from the 9th century. Where the quran is from (around the) 7th century.

yeah totally.

its a con of all kind of internet conversation

well on topics like religion..... well you can find whatever you want online.
Scientific findings etc are done pretty nice online although sometimes a person claims to have found something which he didn't or tries to take credit for someone else's work.

Wikipedia actually does a good job in general though, but for religion things I wouldn't place my bets on it.

Wikipedia is actualy very bad when you search for serious subjects. They operated a shift in the content and moderation a few years ago, that's when i left it.

Especialy they intentionnaly omits imporant stuff regarding political subjects. To delet content that they want they simply always claim it is minors things.

Wikipedia is another control tool for them.

who exactly would you describe as "them"?

I think it would be couterproductive for you to give you the answer in one sentance. Try answering to it by yourself. The answer is extremly easy to find tho, even official speeches talks about it since around 2004-5.

I´l just throw this into the mix to see what you guys make of it...

http://www.wzb.eu/en/press-release/islamic-fu...ely-spread

seems quite expected.

People simply don't trust what they don't know.
If you'd hold the same interview in the USA you'd get much higher numbers for the christians. Probably around the same for the islamic immigrants.

The reason why imigrants place their religion laws > country laws is because they know less about the country than about their religion.

They 'hate' homosexuals because they "don't have them in their country" and thus never met them. (Note that in the Western world this was similar untill the 60's and there still are many places where homosexuals are being treated as "lesser people" (aka they can't mary in many US states etc.)). With "don't have them in their country" I mean that, for example, many Russians nowadays say there are no homosexual Russians..... But they have the Bolshoi ballet school.... And well.... if you ever saw any performance with several male parts you'd know better ;).

The west also is to blame for the perception that "we're out to kill the islam" because of G.W.Bush continuous bashing on the Islamic world. Or well... not really bashing but he heavily links "terrorism" to "Islamic people", if you keep on repeating it people will think there is a link.

I'm more appauled that so many western christians still have these idiotic ideas. They have had ample time to get used to the more free society and should know better.

ofc if you take Saudi Arabia as an exemple thats fucked up. If you studie the "story" of this fabricated country you will understand why it is what it is right there right now and why USA are promoting them.

Btw biggest islamic countries in terms of population size re also the ones you people never tlk about, indonesia, india etc...

"On the other hand, islamists do bad things mainly because it is written in their religion" <-- that is so not true. At least not in any way significantly different from the Bible.

Ofcourse you have warlords (who claim to be able to read) who "interpret" the quran (for those who can't read) in their own favor. But then again... christians had the same thing happening.

The only reason we are so 'free' now is because of science.

@Weird who mentioned colonizing effect on Native Americans.

Trying to remember the recent book(I'll pm you if I find it) with the author on the Daily Show with John Stewart.
He talked about how Europeans weathered "swine and livestock" diseases from living in close quarters with them for centuries, then bringing them to North America and creating the continent's worst outbreak in history decimating populations up to 70%(Native America nations didn't raise livestock).

Then on top of that, the native population didn't understand epidemics or quarantines and would send a messenger to the next village to bring news of the deaths. They would kiss each other to greet and tragically transmit horrible death village to village.

There are accounts of some of the strongest Native Americans standing around with a blank stare, in utter shock with whole family lines wiped out.

Finally, the ecological toll was great. With such a vast population basically disappeared, there was no one around to till the land, manage crops and cultivate. Agricultural sustenance regions basically grew over wild and disappeared too.

I know....
I had that stuff in highschool.

np, crazy&tragic stuff. Guess it's always been personal with me since my ex-fiancée whom I'm still friends with is half Cherokee.

Hi, both are Abrahamic religions based on Talmudic scripts, they share doctrine to the point Jesus is considered an Islamic prophet, both contributed to downfall of scientific advance by at least a thousand years*, and both are finding their powers are waning despite still maintaining to be the 2 major World religions, a lot of the "congregation" are modernising their views and are just considered religious due to the society due to either their geographical location or just to not sever links with their families (and in certain societies, the potential of death due to apostacy :D).


* During the 1970s regime of Gen. Videla of Argentina, during a campaign of nationwide "disappearences" and systematic torture of the populace, this is what Jacobo Timmerman was being repletedly told while tortured:

Argentina has three main enemies: Karl Marx, because he tried to destroy the Christian concept of society; Sigmund Freud, because he tried to destroy the Christian concept of the family; and Albert Einstein, because he tried to destroy the Christian concept of time and space.

So yea, not only are they comparable, they are the same fucking ballpark. Hitsu gets a rare home run as he's right on all his points.

"Argentina has three main enemies: Karl Marx, because he tried to destroy the Christian concept of society; Sigmund Freud, because he tried to destroy the Christian concept of the family; and Albert Einstein, because he tried to destroy the Christian concept of time and space."

What does thoose 3 share in common? i know the answer!!!

Btw you are wrong about christianism and islam they are NOT based on talmud which is an horror btw. Means your knowledge on religion is maybe a bit better than the average but still very low.

A lot of jewish also doesnt belive in Talmud but in Torah which is the real and first judaism.

Judaism based on Talmud is extremly dangerous and racist.

know your shit before spreading misinformations pls this hurts :(

Anyway all thoose semitic religions got used to mystify BUT that doesnt mean they were used to stop science progress, i know the little cliche you might have in your head with Galile and shit but thats very reductive.

Dont forget that modern science is also extremly dangerous in its actual form.

Also your nickname is "Voltaire", i guess its because you belive he is the one saying "i dont like your ideas but ill fight for you to be able to say it". Well historians proved he never said that, and more, it was proved that he did the oposite in his real life, harasing and eliminatiing the people that were not agreeing with him.

No.

Very optimistic comments so far!

totally gonna repe ski jumping. if the rest of polish team will jump decently we could even get a team medal

I prefer this to the summer Olympics, I don't know much about the competitors in any of the sports but I still enjoy watching them.

Ice-hockey will be rad as always, I'm looking forward to seeing the Russian team play, their lineup is sooo sick with players like Kovalchuk, Ovechkin, Datsyuk, Malkin, Radulov, Popov, I mean, it almost seems unfair.

It's gonna be a blast, let's see if Crossby can carry canada like Zyrinx did for sitto!

Team Canada Hockey Team > ***********

I do think you have a solid team, but Russia seems so dominant on paper this year, I'm gonna enjoy watching them play!

Really? I find that Team Canada, on paper, is just ridiculous :O

Who do the Russians have? Ov1, Dats, Kovy, Malkin....

Who do the Canadians have? Crosby, Toews, Bergeron, Perry, Getzlaf, Tavares, Nash, Sharp, MSL, Keith, Weber, Doughty, Pietrangelo, Subban...

There is so much talent within russia playing KHL that you might not be aware of, you'll be so surprised of how good their team will be, hopefully. You can never really tell how a mix of players will do beforehand, but I do have really high thoughts about the Russian lineup. Excellent goalies too.

Oh and right, yay sweden or smt..

There are talented KHL players, but as we've seen recently with players like Radulov, there is still a big difference between the NHL, and the KHL.

The hockey rink size is a really huge deal, European teams are much stronger here than they were in Vancouver for example

Overblown, team Canada has amassed a group of players who are also phenomenal skaters, and have Int. ice experience.

Having occasional experience on Int. rinks doesnt really give you much when you are simply used to NHL rink... What was the last time when Canada won on Int rinks? 1950s? Not even top 4 in Torino :D

In that vein, the best players from all countries will have difficulties on Int. rink

:D

:(( absurd indeed.

side note:

hockey is bigger and less retarded brother of american football :D

scandinavia + usa + canada + russia + czech rep. these all the countries that give a fuck about hockey :D

Okay.

Norway and Denmark not so much. But Finland does. :F

does it work from other country, dunno

yes, try TV

In sweden the cheap ass public service, didn't buy the rights for the olympic games, although the swedes pay for public service.

I hate it! The olympics is the only reason to pay the TV fee.
edit: Also. wiziwig.tv

I used the same site to watch 2 simultaneous world cup qualifying matches. Looking forward to use it in the summer :)

I use these two for everything sports related:

www.cricfree.tv
www.nutjob.eu

best I've seen so far! I don't even watch these stuff but this one kept me interested. Superb visuals and spectacular fireworks at the end. very well done imo

Some other aspect ratios and resolutions if you use it as wallpaper: 16:9 (1920x1080, 1366x768, 1024x576), 16:10 (1280x800), 4:3 (1280x1024)

Georgians spamming "afxazia and osetia is Georgea . Russia is occupantionist!" all over the facebook page.

Edit:

Apparently because Russians showed the "occupied" version of Georgian map at the opening.

Stoch'd.

Biathlon is really cool to watch, doing endurance sports myself, I feel inclined to try sometime in a vacation, or at least try to do some cross-country skiing

Winning in biathlon at the age of 40. Awesome!

And being totally clean while doing it, yeaaaaaah suuure....

(Still an awesome feat, don't get me wrong.)

This isn't cycling.

Cycling, the scapegoat used by other sports followers to feel clean about their heroes.

While being one of the cleanest sports.

Yea, it's professional biathlon, or professional sports in general. Do you honestly think even one of those athletes is clean?

no curling on polish TV. fuck you polak fegets.

anyone know where i can watch curling competition?

lol at sochi olympic flame. its not a fucking flame its a goddman flamethrower. .. it looks like the flame of a sabotaged oil well in the first iraqy war.

bunch of fuckers trying to find Sochi fails are so nice :*

positively doesn't exist

Media wars. NBC cut opening ceremony in shit.

Somehow, being a target of the medias today, makes you know you're right.

So, i'm cheering for the Sochi olympics, and so far it has been nice.
I didn't enjoy olympics so much in a long time, those ones seems to have a nice atmosphere.

I've never really watched any ice hockey, but I'm putting an effort in this time.
Biggest concern: how the PHUCK is it possible to see that puck? Sometimes it's too fast ffs!

it's easier than on TV

watch in HD, preferably 50 or 60 fps :PP

shame that russia topped the list by buying foreigners, aswell as allowing the russian bob team to practice the track while denying other countries. kinda makes the bobbing a waste of time from my pov.

oh, and the russian ref of the shorttrack skating that should of forced a restart but didnt, NED thanks you.

yeah, decent olympics but a lil too much tinkering to call all the results realistic :x

Why don't you count then ex-russians who earned gold medals for Slovakia, Switzerland and Belorussia? And those ex-foreigners are not bought if you get a bit info...

if they got paid by those countries, it just adds more stupidity to the olympics tbh ;>

I mean some russian athlets moved to different countries due to different reasons (married foreigner etc...), changed nationality and won gold medals for new country. And a couple moved to our country, like korean short tracker who was dropped from korean national team due to injury... There are a lot of such things in other countries aswell ... whats wrong with that?

nothing wrong with that, i dont mind that at all.
just that people get offered alot of money to put a different flag infront of their name... ;>

so im just saying that getting 'bought' is stupid. but more importantly, getting fucked over by not beeing allowed to train on the bob track for ex, or russian judges ignoring rules or favouring other russians. but its probably not the first time stuff like this happens.

in the end it makes the total medals per country completely irrelevant. its the athletes themselves that should get all the fame, not a country! :P

But... but... what about nationalism?!?!?!

Swedes you could have even tried in the final, you allergy medicine-doping faggots. Even Latvia could've done better against canucks.
