Yes, I fully agree with you.
2014 Winter Olympics should be boycotted.

This is more of Russia being Russia than anything else. I totally see it in US, just not in this particular case in Russia. Intolerance can exist outside of religion. Although i will admit I know not a whole lot about religion in Russia...so learn me.

PS- I don't want to take away from the main topic here with discussing religion but I do believe it plays a part. :) peace?

Re read Teds post hun. He brought up the idea that religion may be behind this ::)
to the other point, I would wholeheartedly support a Olympic boycott, I would be ashamed if we didnt.

--- End quote --- I know hun but you brought it up as a point of contention. That's all I'm saying. If you don't know yourself how religion might play a roll in Russia, why would you point it out? I think it (religion) plays a part in gay discrimination world wide... including Russia. Agreed? Maybe not but that's is far as I am going here. Peace?
