I think I saw that video. But I'm not sure how the "movement" "Okkupay-Pedofilyay" is targeting gay people, hence the name? They target practicing pedophiles. Goes without saying that's unlawful and absolutely doesn't help to rest their case. Majority attituded towards them is negative, official authorities position is justifiable -- criminals are sought and charged -- at least I never heard of any new cases since.

So what Russia, Russian authorities in general and Putin specifically have done so you're "boycotting" Olympics? So far Putin is right and you "doesn't really understand why you're doing it". Has smbd tore few pages out of your logical chain book: some mindf**ks lynching pedophiles > ... > boycott Sochi Olympics?

P.S. Here's the main figurant of the case (and ton of other cases) in the court room, has been expelled from Cuba and arrested earlier this year:

The Olympics is about the athletes completing at the highest level, it's their moment to shine after usually spending years of hard training. Politics shouldn't be brought into it.

holy crap a gal in the snowboard slopestyle cracked her helmet on the snow from a brutal wipeout. and she rides herself down the mountain..

First gold in figure skating! Well, technically not yet, but realistically it's here ;)

BTW just learned about #NBCFail. Is this usual thing for NBC?

My NHL team has four players all from different countries in the Olympics.

I support the USA first with Paul Stasny as my fellow American.
I support Canada next as they always have so many Stars. Colorado always has a Canadian or more on the Olympic team. This year Matt Duchene, the avs points leader, is on the team.

I support Sweden next as my team Captain Gabriel Landeskog and favorite avs player is on the team. This team also used to have long time Avalanche favorite Peter Foresberg.

If all else fails The Avalanche Goaltender Semyon Varlamov leads team Russia. I always root against Russia tough as they have long been America's greatest rival in the Olympics other than China who is America's new rival it seems.

WRONG! You are wrong to imply that these adult victums looking for adults to date are any way connected to pedofiles.   A gay person dating another adult is nothing in any way like a pedofile.  Plus the overwhelming majority of pedos are hetero.  Much greater than the number of gay/strait people should attest.

Perhapse you should talk with you goverment why it's not avalible?

PS My Russian friends are going to start saying they are from Iraq because everyone hates what Russia is now because of the things Putin has done.  Putin makes Russia look an awful lot like Germany in the last 1930's.

Oh, jesus, just google "Tesak pedophiles", Tesak (the guy above) was stupid enough to film whatever he's done. The boys are obviously underage. Maybe suggesting that I know better, simply because I have access to more sources of information on the topic would be a reasonable suggestion, no?

Do I believe that nutjob wasn't fond of homos either? You bet. I could as well assume that some gays might have fallen victim to him, or they just trying to vindicate themselves "I though he was 18! Trust me" (it could be truth after all), or BBC might be lying suggesting these people are gays or whatever. How do I know? More importantly what Olympics have to do with that?

Well, cultural perception of that might differ, have no f**king idea. Trust your experience here, pal ;)

Yeah, that's all evil Putin, blame him. Not a "this video, service, whatever is not available at your location" policy. I bet that NBC Olympics fail and fasict policy blocking any kind of Sochi content over the States is all fault of my government, too.

With all that being said, my dear fellow humanist. You didn't answer my question. There's logical gap between Tesak and Sochi boycott of yours that you haven't explained.

Hah, the first protest of this Olympics has been filed, the case of Vylegzhanin-Sundby. So I wasn't the only onw who saw that Sundby blocked Vylegzhanin on last meters of race to bronze.

BTW a little behind the events, watching Bjorndalen's 10km gold race now. That's the man!

The problem is I've explained it, twice.  If you arbitrarily and objectively dehumanize people, you are in the wrong.

And it's not just Russia, but all companies sponsoring the olympics.

 Here is a new symbol of fail (and cencorship):

Canada atop the medal standings :D most likely wont stay this way but hellz ya!


oh and the members of the IOC are fucking idiot douche bag morons. They are banning the freestyle skiers from wearing a sticker to commemorate Sarah Burke. A skier who died 2 years ago in the half-pipe, and helped Pioneer the superpipe into the olympics.
