I blame my mum anyway

Yes, dubs.....I've never watched it before...quite scary.
Not something I would want to attempt.

Being on a bike at speed that has it's wheels off the ground isn't scary, it's bloody fantastic







True it can sometimes end painfully............

I like to watch the dressage, but it's not really for me.

Pheony I can categorically state that a bike doesn't get spooked by bangs, decide it really doesn't want to jump that gate at the last moment, need feeding and stabling or bite and kick you. Therefore, I'll be staying with the bike

Lucky you, flying a plane.

I learnt to ride bareback...It took me quite a while to feel safe in the saddle....not the way most people learn to ride.

I can't count the number of times I fell off...It's part of the fun

A bit tasteless considering the puppeteer thread on Today's News. These sick satanists really do this kind of shit. The Dutroux affair showed how real this kind of sick behaviour is. The Queen herself is linked to the missing and murdered Mohawk Indian children in Canada.

Breaking News Update: Oct. 2011: Mass genocide of Mohawk children (and Aboriginals) by UK Queen and Vatican uncovered in Canada. The discovery of the mass graves of Mohawk children, uncovered by ground-penetrating radar at the Mohawk Institute comes on the heels of videotaped evidence by eyewitness William Coombes, who in Oct. 1964 witnessed Elizabeth Windsor, as Head of State of Canada and Head of the Church of England, visit an aboriginal school in Kamloops, British Columbia, choose 10 young aboriginal children, made them kiss her feet, and allegedly took them from the school for a picnic at a lake.

!

The 10 aboriginal children were never seen again. Mr. Coombes, who was to give evidence at the International Tribunal for Crimes of Church and States (ITCCS.org) of Elizabeth Windsor’s child genocide, was murdered in Feb. 2011. Fortunately, Mr. Coombes’ testimony was videotaped before his death and is available for the Tribunal.

Canadian Genocide of the Aboriginal peoples: Trailer from a full length award-winning documentary on the planned extermination of aboriginal people by church and state in Canada. The film is told through the eyes of survivors of this genocide, and a former minister who tried to hold his church accountable for its crimes. For more info see www.hiddenfromhistory.org/

BRANTFORD, ON, CANADA - Mass graves of Mohawk children have been uncovered by ground-penetrating radar at the Mohawk Institute, a residential school for Mohawk operated by the Church of England and the Vatican before its closure in 1970.

According to Rev. Kevin Annett, Secretary of the International Tribunal for Crimes of Church and States (www.itccs.org/) , the Mohawk Institute was “set up by the Anglican Church of England in 1832 to imprison and destroy generations of Mohawk children. This very first Indian residential school in Canada lasted until 1970, and, like in most residential schools, more than half of the children imprisoned there never returned. Many of them are buried all around the school.”

^ More horror!

Those poor children. And the suffering their families must have been through is virtually unthinkable. May Kevin Annett be protected!

I've not read anything about this before. How come I've never heard of it? Do you have any more information on it Anthony? (Maybe set up a thread?)

These things can't just keep getting swept under the carpet. People need to be held to account.

I haven't checked back on this story for a while. Kevin Annett was truly risking his life to publicize this.

The thing to keep in mind here is that this was a very, very long story of generational abuse, which was repeated across the world and is still being perpetrated on innocents every single day. The symbolism of the Olympics and elsewhere is not a joke to these psychopathic murderers. They take it very seriously and it is there for anyone to see who takes the trouble to look for it. There are some very interesting blogs out there where people have tried to identify and put together as many pieces of the mosaic as they can. Perhaps they don't find every piece, or understand every nuance of the meanings. which are often obscue and on multiple levels; but at least they try. Ridicule is so easy, but gets you absolutely nowhere. It's a personal choice.

Seek and ye shall find. It's out there for anyone who is sincerely searching for truth.

Yes, I have read other blogs examining the symbolism. There are a lot about.

What was up with the Red Bird above the flames?

I am actually quite proud that I managed to miss the whole thing. I have also managed to do the same thing with Christmas! If you've not tried, I can assure you it is quite a liberating experience, even if you only do it once. Not because I am a spoil-sport or am in any way standing in judgement on those that did partake of it and enjoy it at all, but because it has been my goal for some time to lessen the extent to which outside influences can control my attention and mood.

In this regard, the Olympic debacle (and it has been such, from start to finish, whether or not you actually enjoyed watching it) has been a positive thing for me. It has proven that this course of action is actually working. The only information I have let soak into my brain regarding this event is what I have wanted to find out for myself.

And I am far from depressed or miserable. I say this not to berate those of you who have enjoyed the event in any way, shape or form, but I do think it fair that both sides are presented, where possible.

You seem to have taken offence at what I said. I choose not to do the same when others were having their say about people who did enjoy the olympics.....me being one of them.

Yes, you're right, both sides should be presented and as I'm probably about the only person on the forum who enjoyed the olympics ...I was presenting my side.

Yes, It is good that both sides are presented

I only watched 15 mins of the opening ceremony and then fell asleep. Managed to miss the rest of it. I didn't make a point of not watching it, I'm just not that keen on sport shizzle.

I would love to ignore the whole Xmas period, but that's mainly because travelling to all the in laws gets quite tiresome!
