As a non-American, I and the rest of the world, want Obama to win. I simply do not understand how it is such a close call in America itself, yet the rest of the world clearly sees that Obama is the only logical vote...

Amen, brother. Romney should put that in his campaign.

"Romney! Slightly more people in Pakistan reckon he'd be a better president than Obama"

@shinyblurry, you said that "Obama is going to radically transform this country even further (for the worst)". Exactly what "radical" transformations has the US undergone? From the outside, it looks pretty much as it always did (with marginally more humane healthcare).

"aw who are we kidding? this movie is fucking awesome"
Amen brother, high hopes for the next one.
My brain is threatening to squeeze itself out my nose if The Dark Knight Rises sucks as much as Prometheus.

Current reviews on Rotten Tomatoes would indicate you have nothing to worry about there.


I know... got my tickets... excited like a kid on xmas eve.

Lots of cinemas here are showing Begins, Knight and then a midnight show of Rises. Would love to have gone, but have to teach tonight

"I do think the likes of Dawkins, Hitchens et al serve a useful purpose in pushing the debate. "

Amen, brother! Amen!!!!

Amen brother!

Ha.

WHY do you people insist on feeding the troll?
He's like a feral cat: if you feed him, he keeps coming around. Which is a good thing only if you intend to trap and neuter him. Now there's a thought...

As a Canadian and a Vancouverite, I am embarrassed that this happened. What has happened to my Canada?

Amen brother, as a fellow vancouverite I have never felt more shame for my city and my country. I hope we don't win a single medal on our own soil (again), due to all the horrible karma stirred up from this situation, taking billions of our tax dollars, not letting other countries practice on the turf THEY WILL BE COMPETING ON, and now this blasphemy, it makes me so disappointed and mad. Fuck you Vanoc, fuck you both provincial and federal government, and fuck you olympics in general.
There called olympic GAMES, not olympic I'm better then yous.


This comment makes me ashamed to be a Canadian.

It's the Olympics. A couple weeks will have passed and the only thing that'll happen is a few countries will gain a small amount of national prestiege and in 4 years, it'll be forgotten in everything but the Olympic History book.

You're still a Canadian, As am I. Born and raised in Ontario, and i'll probably die here, too.
Americans may be known for fierce patriotism, but god knows Canadians are right behind them. I'm proud of my Country, viewed by the world as peace keepers and neutrality.

Sure, we're pulling a dick move with these games, and I agree that it should be rectified, but I would NEVER betray my own country by wishing it does badly. Now, as far as I understand, it's mostly Americans that are shocked over the lack of us allowing them to come train with us. Truthfully, lets think of this for a minute. In terms of "Dick Moves" I think the Americans have quite a bit more racked up then we do, however I understand "An eye for an eye." and still agree, that its not right.

However, This article basically explains it all, better then I can ever say here.
There's an advantage. There always has been, and there always will be, however, maybe it's our turn to actually use it for once.

The girl on the left has to be about 5 foot nothing. I am impressed that the 7' girl managed to get that tall and still remain quite attractive. If there wasn't a short girl next to her, then there's nothing that would suggest that she wasn't a perfectly normal woman. The proportions aren't skeewompus. She's got it going on.
She's definitely not 'supermodel' level, but she's a solid 7 on a 10 point scale. In a lot of ways I prefer the 'average human' look as opposed to the silicon injected, airbrushed, tucked, pinched, taped, and botoxed look you get from a lot of models.

Amen brother.

Bring him back. This place has a tendency to become more and more homogeneous rather than diverse. He's always got something entertaining to say. If his powers are removed, than that's a good enough penalty in my book.

Funny enough, on "trolling", if you open any video with a conservative spin, you'll find a great many "normal" sifters become instant trolls...

Example (with a healthy bit of exageration):
Obama speech comments:
"I hate this guy"
"What a liar"
"He doesn't know what he's talking about!"
Sift response: "Get out troll!"

O'Reily monologue comments:
"I hate this guy"
"What a liar"
"He doesn't know what he's talking about!"
Sift response: "AMEN BROTHER!"

I used to be annoyed by this, but now I just think its hilarious.


that was perfect.
