Most of these guys are pretty ridiculous.
First of all, a huge chunk of them aren't even from Vancouver or BC - they're just pros who don't have a G8 summit to protest so they go to whatever party is happening.
Second, most of the complaints are questionable. Olympics on stolen native land? Look, it could be argued that the entire province is on stolen native land. Do we see any of these activists willing to pull poles and move to Toronto? Don't think so - hypocrits.
Better things to spend money on. I might buy this if they'd be placated by social spending. The reality is that as long as there is one poor person on this planet (regardless of the reason) then nobody is allowed to do anything that may look recreational. Where are these activists going to be if the Games make money for the government and it gets spent on social programs?
Corporate games - please. I don't mind people who smoke a little dope, but people who smoke an ounce at a time have no credibility. If there wasn't corporate spending, government cuts would have to be 10 times deeper in order to pay for the Games.
What it comes down to is the fact that these people are attention whores and nothing more. Even if we solved these problems, they'd find something to protest because their livelihood depends on it.
If you aren't interested in solving a problem - FUCK OFF!
