Thanks for the heads up Sean I've contacted the admin at facebook to have them shut down.

I guess that is what cuts to Richmond school board budgets gets us...

If I had a sign, I had the olympic symbol on below it will be crossed out with a circle around the symbol & it would say "2010 Olympic games? I'm LEAVING!!!!" & I would walk all day around that countdown clock. If I was in a friendly protesters climate, I would have that sign to go anywhere where there will be a peaseful demonstration. I hate protesters who can do more damage to the city & disobeying the law.

you are all a bunch of dumbasses. enough said.

All these douchebags spammed this message board because they are all part of this group on facebook: http://langara.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2256589215

I would love to give these guys a press conference so the city can see how hateful, vitriolic, ignorant, and under-educated they are.

I completely agree with kr601. I hate all sports including hockey. Whats the point of wasting our money to bring prestige to Vancouver. We should all boycott the winter olympics and go home and watch sailing. For the record I also hate Ice cream.

Who cares about the clock. I don't care. I've never seen it with my own eyes. I've haven't been to downtown since.

Get a life, leave the clock alone!

get a life..your all wasting ur time

fucking retards...leave the clock alone

If I was retarded, I wouldn't be on this computer explaining about the olympics. I'm not protesting.

I've never gone out to those events & protest to the city of Vancouver nor the VANOC. The police would be there to arrest me. I'd be scared the shit out of those fuckin' police if they'd tear gased me.

I don't care if we have a countdown clock to the games. It's a waist of our tax dollar's money. Nor anyone bringing down the flag of the olympics.

When that clock reaches down to 0, I'm leaving until the whole olympic games are finish. Sure the people will tell me "Ohh! You'd missed out there little buddy. Vancouver had a blast of fun. Oh well. Too bad little buddy!" I won't even care if anyone will say that to me. All for those 16 days of fun will be on holidays.

Gee I protest about,business people wanting real money to host games, and I'm retarded. Lets see, 3 persons in my family, so my share/cost out of my pocket is about $1,500 for these games. I told my Daughter that if the 2010 money was spent on kids, every child in BC could have gone to Egypt for a life changing moment of their lifes.
Is it true that each Metal Canada wins, will costs taxpayers $40,000,000.00 a peice.
Before you call me retarded could you please look in the mirror, then go ask one of your mushroom friends, what kind of drugs your on today.
Thats my rant for the day, get Whistles. No need to reply, and I will not stop yelling at people with there hands in my pockets.
My guess is we'll be $4 1/2 Billion in the hole by the end of this, and my child will end up paying this back for tyhe next 30 years like 1976 Quebec games.

"I'm very disapointed to see the city of Vancouver doing this event."

Yes, so lets protest the 2010 clock, and vandalise it, effectively wasting more tax dollars.

You people are retarded, stop protesting over something so stupid. Even if this clock is actually a 'big issue' -- much like the 2010 games in their entirity -- it would mean much more money to halt the process, than to continue with it. End of fucking discussion, stop protesting, you slutty vandalizing attention whores. You people are so bloody ignorant it's sad to know that people like you live in the same city as me.

I live in the Greater Vancouver area. I don't want another Atlanta, Georgia explosion during the summer games. Remember in September, 1996 there was a bomb explosion near the city.

Vancouver could be another terrorist attack. If a big event comes along, Vancouver could be their next target. Maybe a 1'st Canadian terrorist after the U.S. terror in Sep. 11'th, 2001. Anyone in the games could be a terrorist. The security is giving it's 0 torrerance policy on terrorist.

In reality, here are some questions everyone in British Columbia should know:

How much money are we going to spend on security?

How much money of our tax Canadian dollars to host the games that we are going to pay?

And how much money are we wasting adds to introduce those games to the world?

Yeah I maybe crazy, but what I'm doing is a "what if" game. What if the olympics goes terrably wrong for the 1'st time since 1972 in Munich, West Germany?

These are the questions that we have to remember about. Also I didn't get a straight answer from the VANOC. I talked to them about to prefer the summer games instead of the winter games. I love watching Sailing, Rowing, Kayaking, Baseball, Swimming, Diving, Track & Field, Volleyball & Beach Volleyball on T.V. & on live events. The only winter games that I love are Skiing, Snowboarding & Speed Skating. That's 8 summer games I love to see & 3 winter games I would like to see, but summer games are better. Sadly the VANOC wants to talk about is the winter games, not the summer games.

I'm very disapointed to see the city of Vancouver doing this event.

Peaceful protests are encouraged, but the anti-olympic protests are embarrassing. This is why you aren't getting free handouts, you act like children.

You think you're so hardcore protesting an ageless world event for some bums that have no self control? Go die in a hole you evil godless communist freedom hating assholes.

Protests must get louder!, by using Whistles, call it the
 "2010 Whistle Blowers."
Put a logo on the whistles, hand them out/sell them, at events.
Lets get LOUDer!!!!!
:)

I'm not an athlete to these games. It's not going to be like Expo 86, when evryone including the public is going to do these exibits. Only the public is going to do is watch it live at each venues or on T.V. For me it's going to be a local blackout on my T.V. set, just like the C.F.L. (Canadian Football League) home games.

I'm no interested in these games in Vancouver. If anyone is sick & tired about these games, then make lots of money & go on vacation in February of 2010.

If you don't want the paralympics to come here, then extended to March, 2010. I'm hopeing that there will be an "Olympic Runaway Sale" from any Travel agent stores in the lower mainland or on the web sites. If you don't like what's happening in Vancouver beyond 2010, MOVE!!!!!!

The Premier of B.C. is telling the people are comming back to B.C. Sorry Mr. Premier, but I'm leaving on Feb. 2010 when the games are on.

One of my family member is trying to tell me if I do stay for these games, I would go on a trip after the games. It's a nice offer, but I can't do that while these games are on. After all one of my family member who is a big fan of figure skating.

When Vancouver has their plans set to 2010, I've got my plans to leave Vancouver both for Feb & March of 2010.
