Rainbow Flag Will Fly Over Montreal City Hall During Olympics

I'll raise you numerous Jesse Owns Olympic victories and a fuming Führer

as I pointed out in my previous post the Nazi's just simply cut him out and fed to their people what they wanted. The fact they were able to host an Olympic games and the world showed up validated them as a legitimate world power again.
 
if the president of a company is jewish should all christians not work there? or buy any products there? thats just dumb
but again you are welcome to your opinion because thats all it is.

1) the correct analogy would involve a christian guy persecuting jews

2) these are not simply the olympics being run by a guy who happens to be russian, but the Russian olympics. Key difference

If i sit at home what does that do, who does that punish?

It punishes the russians by undermining their ability to host the olympics games in a quality manner ...

That's not my understanding of the situation at all. And from my understanding Jesse was the talk of the games
 
this is such a bunch of horse crap. how bout ya support all the olympians ya bigoted straight haters! im sorry but a dude wanting to bugger another dude doesn't qualify as being something beautiful and special.
 
1.)Worth pointing out that you are also just giving me your opinion...

2.) The English football players were just competing but were asked by the FA to give the salute to be polite to their host, that picture would later be used by the Nazi's for propaganda just as the 1936 Olympics in Berlin were used by the Nazi party as proof that they were not only globally recognised but they were universally accepted.
3.)You don't think that Putin will use this Olympics' as proof that Russia has returned as a world power and that he is universally respected? Plenty of great photo op's with global icons and even some gay athletes.

1.) 100% correct, did i suggest otherwise?
2.) sucks for them :shrug:
3.) how will that be done? wont russia have to win most of the events?

like i said if i was gay id never stay home that would be dumb because bigots would WANT me not to compete and that would motivate me even harder

again who would it punish to stay at home after all my hard work to qualify? lol

id compete and have a rainbow flag patch on me somewhere :)
 
Because no one perceived the Nazis as bad guys in 1940. The Progressives of the period worshipped the mother****ers...

lol, what are you even talking about?

1.) the argument was that if you participate it equals support. so my example works just fine

2.) they arent russian olympics LMAO they are the WORLD olympics that happen to be held this year in russia, yes you said it KEY difference indeed

3.) except they dont want me to participate and would view it as petter quality
 
That's not my understanding of the situation at all. And from my understanding Jesse was the talk of the games


No he was the talk of the games in the rest of the world but not in Germany. Do you really think that the Nazi state run media ran with the picture of Jesse Owens on the podium accompanied with the headline, " Black American humiliates the Nazis and ends the Aryan race myth". ?
 
never seen that before, bizzare. Why did they have the kids do that?

It's called the Bellamy salute. Hitler stole it from America. Or maybe the Bellamy/Nazi salutes are a socialist thing ?

Bellamy was an American progressive/socialist. He wrote the American Pledge of Allegiance and came up with the Bellamy salute that every American in school would recite while doing the Bellamy salute every morning.

They dropped the salute in December of 1941 for some reason.

You have to remember, most Marxist, socialist , progressives and many of the labor unions in America were supporters of Hitler. Until 1941 when Hitler attacked the Soviet Union. Hitler was no longer considered to be a fellow comrade. He became the enemy. The Nationalist Socialist (Nazis) was no longer considered to be a form of socialism but would all of a sudden become right wing. It's called revisionism to hide who Hitler's supporters were before 1941.

We will have to agree to disagree. We seem to agree on the issue of gay rights but we would go about it differently, I understand what your saying and agree with you to a certain extend I just worry that Putin will use these games to strengthen his own position in Russia and will put more pressure on the already outgunned gay rights movement in Russia.
 
It's going to be difficult to impossible to fully undo the harm done by holding the olympics there, instead of moving it somewhere more humane. I won't be watching at all, not that it's a huge sacrifice to forgo the luge, but there are reasons i rooted for team canada last winter olympics. This kind of display won't suffice, but it's a fair deal better than other countries have done.

exactly why it should have been moved

No but it wouldn't have ended anything anyway, in large part because germany won the most medals in 1936. Those olympics were nothing but a blight on humanity.

There were blacks in the nazi party. They were more tolerated than other groups, for reasons i don't understand, and hitler even admitted that the # of black athletes gave america an advantage in some events.

If you are gay or feel that strongly about Gay rights then you should boycott it, by participating they are validating Russia's stance and the Putin regime.

The US (and I suspect Britain) is there in a very big way. Our security has been there for weeks if not longer as well as planners and emissaries. Should we all just boycott the whole Olympics so as not to validate Russia? This is sports, and who's the best. There's entirely too much politics, and too many people are more interested in sticking it to Putin then playing ball. I understand the angst over Putin becoming the new leader of the world and outsmarting the west over Syria but this seems a little ridiculous.

1.) yes we wil,l i could NEVER sit at home and let my hard work go to waste if i was gay and do exactly what they want and not compete.

we dont have national equal rights here for gays yet, are all the gay politicians and gay government workers supporting bigotry? i just see no logic in that seems silly

2.) in THIS case, yes

I would support WHOLE COUNTRIES boycotting but not individuals

3.) outside of russia he is already ridiculed by everybody that is not already a bigot though.

who cares if OTHER bigots get together an are like "yeah we sure showed them" lol thier idiots :)

No, but germans were in attendance. In fact, one interview I recall reading that praised owens was with a german fellow of african decent.

No doubt it caused some waves but the majority of Germans were not in attendance and they read/listened to state media.

why would bill Burr's view of the olympics as a modern individual inform us about their effect on world politics in the 30 and 40's? Burr is pretty clear that he knows **** about history.

People are being killed over there. You clearly don't get the gravity of the situation. **** sports in the face of that. What's ridiculous is you think a damn game is more important than human rights

why do you consistently make up stuff and completely own your own posts all the time? lol
I simply posted it cause it was funny and the person i posted it to got that

who on gods green earth even suggested that bill burr's view of the Olympics as a modern individual inform us about their effect on world politics in the 30 and 40's? Good grief thats a lot of fantasy.
