    How fucking pathetic are you? Why don't you shut the fuck up and keep to the relevance of the thread, rather than wasting space on here.
     
     
    And here we go again. The only thing I'd ever post to you is a piece of shit through your mailbox.

    It probably wouldn't sell well and I think Lana is completely over that stuff. I mean, she said Ultraviolence made her forget Born to Die, I doubt she'd want to re-release songs from as early as 2005.

    Coming from an Eastern European country, I can assure you the whole 'traditional family values' Russia holds (as well as my country etc.) are a bullshit excuse to treat everyone like shit apart from straight Eastern European men. Homophobia is the most obvious one to  pick out for the Western world because it stands out how normal it is to hate gay people in certain Eastern European countries and to act like they're atrocities of nature/mentally ill/on the same scale as pedophiles. France and the US might not be fully open minded to LGBT rights but they're years away from the backwardness of Russia and the like.
     
    But you see, homophobia is only the surface problem, try being a woman there or of a different race. I might be wrong, Philomene, but I'm pretty sure you're a girl and not Eastern European. You might've visited/read about it and all that but you probably didn't live there 14 years - if you did, maybe you'd understand why Putin is not a nice guy. Unless you agree with all his views and the Russians'/Eastern European views, then there's no reason to dislike him but he'd probably dislike you. He is a blessing for the average homophobic sexist racist Russian indeed, because he's just like them.

    Um, if you actually read what I wrote (instead of having a knee-jerk defensive reaction) my point wasn't very different.
     
    I never made this comparison. But you just did.
     
    The focus of the comparison was on Jesse Owen and gay athletes, not Hitler and Putin. The only similarity I see between the two is that they're both autocratic leaders who actively supported discrimination against a minority class and brought the Olympics to their countries as projects of national greatness. Any comparison ends there. Methinks thou doth protest too much.
     
    But for what it's worth, this idea that any comparison of anything to Hitler is automatically invalid or out of bounds is ridiculous. Comparing some aspect of someone or something to some aspect of Hitler is not equal to drawing an equivalency. Especially when you're referring to something that happened before the war. Germany's discrimination against Jews under Hitler was bad enough before it turned violent and ultimately genocidal. I agree it's preferable to avoid Nazi Germany comparisons if there's another apt well-known historical precedent to point to because the subject is so loaded, but it shouldn't completely preclude making historical analogies. It should be possible to compare circumstances to pre-war events in Germany in isolation without necessarily inferring they are a slippery slope to another holocaust. The original point of Godwin's Law was to prevent lazy arguments that shut down debate, yet the principle is often invoked to do exactly that.
     
    Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that Putin doesn't have a problem with attractive faux-lesbians...
     
    Pot calling the kettle black much? I have lived in another country and learned other languages (or at least attempted to) and read news sources mostly critical of or hostile to my own government. I think I'm pretty objective and clear-eyed about what my country and its leaders do right and wrong. (A formerly enthusiastic Obama supporter, I now consider him a murderer of his own citizens.) I can't say the same for you.
     
    Oh, and while we're on the topic of Hitler comparisons, your blind hero worship of Putin is kinda reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

    While I find others' reasons for doing so understandable, I have a hard time bringing myself to boycott these games.
     
    Maybe it's because I'm older and can remember when gay rights were not only unpopular-- even among young people-- but were practically unheard of. I have a hard time judging Russia much more than any other country for being a bit further behind. (Ask me in 20 years and I might have a different opinion.) That's not to say I don't find their laws horrendous and disgusting. They're a gross violation of human rights and freedom of speech.
     
    Maybe it's because I'm almost old enough to remember the actual boycotts. I am old enough to remember watching the 1988 Olympics and how big a deal it was to have all the major nations competing again after large boycotts of the previous two Olympics. (Irony alert: the Soviet Union led a boycott of the '84 Los Angeles games in retaliation for a US-led boycott of the 1980 Moscow games over the Soviet occupation of... wait for it... Afghanistan.) Granted, there's a difference between nations boycotting and viewers boycotting, but I look back to history and the 1936 Berlin games when African-American track star Jesse Owens rained on Hitler's parade of Aryan superiority by winning four gold medals. That, a direct confrontation, was far more effective than any boycott could have been.
     
    Maybe it's because I also think boycotts of either kind are somewhat unfair to the athletes. Many of these athletes are gay themselves and have spent a lifetime training for this moment, perhaps their only shot. I look forward to gay athletes challenging Putin (like Jesse Owens with Hitler) by winning their events and defiantly expressing themselves, shoving their gayness down Putin's throat... so to speak. And I'll be watching (and cheering) when it happens. (On a side note, I like Obama's move of tweaking Putin by naming openly gay athletes including Billie Jean King and Brian Boitano to the US delegation to the Olympics along with former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano who is rumored to be gay.)
     
    Maybe it's because I see the Olympics as a time for the best athletes from all nations to compete against each other regardless of race, creed, or politics. Within reason, I think all countries should get a turn hosting. I'm not necessarily saying I think North Korea should host, but I also don't think it should necessarily be determined based on a country's adherence to Western liberal ideals. (If so, just to play devil's advocate, I could think of lots of good reasons to boycott my own country were the United States to host again.)
     
    Maybe it's because I don't consider hosting in itself to confer any sort of legitimacy or prestige, but rather what kind of host one is. I don't let myself fall into that trap in the first place. Instead, I see the event of Russia's hosting as an occasion to shine a spotlight on them. An interrogation lamp, not a stage light.
     
    Maybe I wrote too much.

    It is probably due to the fact that english isn't my first language, but here are some lyrics I misheard :
     
    - National Anthem : I first thought that, just after ''Tell me I'm your national anthem'', she said ''I'm your baby panda, making me so walmart''.
     
    -Cola : I heard '''Heaven in the sky, with diamonds on his neck, making me crazy''.
