Hello, I'm a little bit drunk. What's more due to the effort of cleaning
bathrooms and cooking dinners I've not had the opportunity to write
this up in advance. As a result it appears that I'm going to have to do
it live, stream of consciousness style.
Due to the aforementioned chores I've not really had the opportunity to
look at the incident yesterday (13/2/14) in which a Russian track worker
suffered two broken legs following a collision with a bobsleigh.
However due to the similarities with the death of Georgian Luger Nodar
Kumaritashvili at the 2010 Vancouver games I think we should be open to
the possibility that this engineered so Russia could point out it
wasn't entirely happy with Georgia's 2008 invasion. After all this was
your typical war of conquest. That is to say Georgian President Mikhail
Saakashvili felt that his nation wasn't big enough so decide to invade
the nation next door in order to steal a bit of it. The only twist is
that in his battle plan Saakashvili calculated that such was western
animosity towards Russia that all he needed to do was provoke Russia
into retaliating and NATO would swoop in to do the rest. Needless to say
he got this calculation badly wrong.
One
story I have been able to look at in more detail is yesterday's
(13/2/14) sudden retirement of Russian figure skater Evgeny Plushenko
moments before he was due to compete. Although hugely dramatic I don't
think there was anything fake or political about this. At the age of 31
Plushenko has reached the point where the human body has started to
decline. Having competed in three Olympics and numerous world
championships Plushenko has put his body through more then most. So
yesterday I think that sadly he did just pull a muscle in his back which
left him unable to compete forcing him to call an end to what has been a
glittering career. Somehow I think that even his opponents were a
little bit sad about that.
One
event which I've been provided with more information then I could ever
want or need is today's women's skeleton bobsleigh final which
apparently I was competing in. Back in Vancouver Britain's Amy Williams
won gold in this event making only the 9th Brit to win gold at the
Winter Olympics in what seemed like a commentary on the lesbian wife the
British state seized from me back in 2006 - apparently Amy was going
downhill faster then any woman on earth. However a gold medal is a gold
medal so in the intervening years Team GB (winter division) having been
focusing all their efforts on the women's skeleton bobsleigh event.
After all grownups compete in the Luge.
With
all of the UK's efforts focused on winning gold in the women's skeleton
bobsleigh this was also the event where the UK's political efforts were
dedicated. This mainly seemed centred on provoking gay Olympians into
embarrassing unilateral protests against Russia's anti-gay propaganda
laws in order to put pressure on Russia over it's support for the Syrian
government. The main thrust of this involved getting the now
retired Amy Williams to join the BBC Sport commentary team. From that
much was made of the fact that Amy Williams rents a flat to top British
prospect Lizzy Yarnold. The subtext being that Amy Williams and Lizzy
Yarnold are gay for each other and Yarnold pays her rent with sex. Also
William's enthusiastic and suggestive style of commentary kind of gave
the impression that rather then competing in an Olympic event all the
women were in fact performing oral sex on her. The idea being that this
would create a lot of speculation about which athletes were gay and
which were not. In fact I would go so far to say that the only point of
UK Channel 4's recent disaster "The Jump" was to give Williams the
opportunity to practise for this role.
In
the end a combination of Team GB's efforts being focused on nothing else
and other nations feeling they'd better give the UK something lest it
threw a stop meant that Lizzy Yarnold did in fact win gold. However this
does provide me with an opportunity to point out that in my experience
homosexuals seem far more interested in the "Whose Gay?!?" game then
heterosexuals. In fact the way that gay men in particular seem utterly
obsessed with this kind of thing gives the impression they're mentally damaged
perverts who will try and have sex with everyone the meet much like
Jimmy Savile and other well known paedophiles.
So in summary;
"Bristol's sh*t, Bath's worse. Good luck with the medal ceremony."
Today's
massive contribution to the gay rights theme though came from
researchers at Chicago University, US who claim to have identified
chromosomal variations that indicate the existence of gene that causes
homosexuality. I'm actually surprised that this announcement hasn't
received wider media attention because in scientific terms it is about
as earth shattering as the announcement by scientists at the Large
Hadron Collider that they had disproved Einstein's special theory of
relativity. Perhaps the subdued nature of the reporting comes from the
fact that this has about the same level of credibility.
When
DNA was first discovered in the 1950's the prevailing psychological
wisdom was that homosexuality was a mental disorder similar to
paedophilia. Knowing that this wasn't true gay rights campaigners at the
time simply grabbed the nearest available headline and used it to
justify their argument. The problem is that over the next 60 odd years a
lot of people have done a lot of research in this area and have not
only failed to find a gay gene but also failed to find any evidence that
one might exist. This study changes that but although I haven't read it
I suspect that it's authors will soon quietly be publishing a
retraction before collecting a big US government cheque so they can go
off an do some proper research. For example from my reading of the media
coverage they don't appear to have used a control group in their study
but I'm really hoping their actual deliberate mistake isn't something so
elementary and obvious.
Of
course the inability to prove that homosexuality is genetic does not
mean that it is a mental disorder or indeed a choice. I am building
myself to the big discussion of the subject but in the meantime you
might like to read up on a pesticide known as DDT or a herbicide known
as Agent Orange. Funnily enough the US is an expert on both of those
subjects.
Sadly
the fact that it is extremely unlikely that there is a genetic cause
for homosexuality will sound to most people as "Homosexuality is a
choice" which is music to the ears of homophobes in Russia and beyond.
Also revealing that gay-rights activists have knowingly been lying about
a genetic basis for homosexuality for generations makes them look like a
bunch of manipulative and exploitative liars who will say and do
anything to justify their perversion. Those are exactly the sort of
people I would want to have laws keeping them away from my children.
So
by setting this discussion in motion the US appears to be trying to cosy
up to Russian homophobes, possibly for post-Olympic anti-Putin
protests, while at the same time making it look like they're taking a
brave stand for gay rights.
