Unbelievable that you people have the time, let alone energy, to protest an event created with the intent to unite world cultures in peaceful competition! Grow up, get jobs, and get a life!

Great work

  THANK YOU. I know that many people will judge you for your protest work but 

just know that they don't truly understand what is going on. The corporations are getting bigger and richer, the poor are getting poorer, social programs are being cut, the land is being raped and we're expected to have another coke and watch some sports! I smell a wolf in sheep's clothing. I am so proud of you guys and your protesting. I live in Toronto and know that many of us here support you. Thank you again.
