the toronto star had an article saying how each hotel had a metal detector. of course there were no guards anywhere nearby to stop people if they set it off

russia is serious about safety

Isnt there a somewhat serious threat of attack? Heard on the radio awhile back that some group or other made threats and had the capacity to follow through

What about deaths from Russian police opening fire and/or gassing crowds to contain the terrorist attack?

If there is an attack obviously 1:1. If there's no attack I'd say 1:2 so it's anybody's guess, really.

The best bit about this is how obvious it is that Putin and his buddies wanted the Olympics so they could do all this and make a bunch of money. Even if it's a loving wreck they won't care because they've already made the money and nothing significant will come of it.

So whats up with all the stray dogs anyways? Maybe this was covered, but someone told me it was because the locals got kicked out of their houses and the 'new' places they were shipped to didn't allow dogs.

A lot of them are likely owned by people who got their houses bulldozed to make room for everything. They're really fat and happy looking for a bunch of strays.

Actually, this whole thing was meant as a vanity project for him, and Putin is known to have a really fragile ego. So he's probably livid about all this right now.

I think he'll survive the ordeal considering the billions of dollars that have disappeared during the construction.

Again a lot of these dogs are obviously domesticated and fed to an extent. They've got to be from bulldozed houses :(

So, a bunch of Canadian cities flew the Pride flag today to support LGBT athletes.

Rob Ford didn't like this, and when he showed up at city hall in Toronto, he ordered to have the flag taken down and replaced with a Canadian flag. Rob Ford doesn't have the authority to do that, so the flag stayed. In protest, Rob Ford taped a Canadian flag to the window of his office because he has the emotional maturity of a 12 year old.

Shouldn't he be plotting assassinations considering the city council went all Roman senate on him?

What in the gently caress is curling? From what I've gathered from watching it, some lady pushes a roomba on some ice and the two women have to clean the ice so it keeps moving or something.
