Any chance he won’t come back?
You’re upset that Arney the S is carrying the torch for a bit?! Really? Carrying the torch is pagentry not compitition, sheesh…
“only Canada would celebrate an achievement that wasn’t even achieved.”
And only an amerikan could make such a crass remark about someone who accomplished something really remarkable in his short lifetime.
Canadian’s are largely regarded as easy going and polite, but you would be well advised to demonstrate a little respect for someone that they regard very highly.
Not for sinking baskets, porking starlets, being a wealthy attention whore or being Mr ‘Fucking Steroids’ Universe either!
Then let him participate in the ‘pageantry’ when America hosts the games.
I stand by, “PISS OFF!”
This is probably the most ignorant post I’ve ever read here. “He stopped midway”? He wasn’t physically able to go any further.
Comments:
- Dear OP, when you refer to Arnold in a thread title, please say Arnold S., I was ready to come in here and squash you like a bug.
- The Swiss (including Arnold Winkelried) kicked Austrian butt at the battle of Sempach and we’re ready to do it again! Arnold S. had better keep his nose clean is all I’ve got to say.
Really, that’s the most ignorant thing you’ve read here? :rolleyes:
The man told us the story of a man who planned on running across Canada and Thunder Bay was where he stopped and didn’t finish. He didn’t mention the foundation, or the cancer, or blah blah blah. He just said that he was a man who was gonna do something and then didn’t finish it and they made a statue for him.
Before I share in the OP’s outrage, I would want to inform myself as to what has happened in past Olympics - are torch carriers typically citizens of the country in which the Olympics are being held?
If they wanted a Hollywood star to carry the torch, fellow Canadian William Shatner was ready to step up, I’m sure! Or Leslie Nielsen! Michael J. Fox! Brendan Fraser! Heck, any of these guys!
Well, if you actually did see the statue, then you would’ve known he only had one fucking leg, so sorry–you still look like an asshole for laughing at the dead underachieving cripple.
If I remember correctly, asking Ahnold about his father and the Nazis was a quick route to him ending the interview and walking out.
And it didn’t occur to you that he got a statue made of himself for some reason other than not finishing something he started? You and your wife sound like a good example of the casual arrogance US Americans are so good at.
Yes, once we saw the statue and read the story, then we knew what was going on.
And if I look like an asshole, oh no. :rolleyes:
Wife? I’m gay. So, it would be a, well, not a wife. But, should I chock up your heteronormative statement as casual arrogance? Or just not knowing all the facts?
The thread should be named “Piss off, Arnold!” “Piss off Arnold” reads like an imperative to go piss off Arnold. I’ve been trying to figure out all day why there haven’t been more tips or suggestions posted on how to piss him off.
Well, to be fair, he did at least make the most ignorant post you’ve ever read in the stupidest thread currently on the board, so at least it’s all contained.
See we knew we should have accepted Atlanta’s bid to host the Winter Olympics.
Wait, so you knew who Terry Fox was and what he’d done and you still needed to post that only Canadians would celebrate somebody not finishing something?
Yeah, that kind of shit would never fly south of the border.
Yet directly above your post, you quoted** runner pat**:
So now you DO KNOW these things, and you still tell a little story about how you found Fox’s achievement “laughable”? This is what makes you an asshole.
You got it wrong, we should be receiving tips on how to correctly take a piss while standing on Arnold.
Great, spelling Nazi’s weren’t enough? Now it’s the grammar, too?
I would like to piss off Arnold, got any suggestions?
I believe we’ve already determined that making light of a national hero is a good way to piss off the overly polite Canadians.
