If this is a 16 year old girl then I'm a 92 year old man

Sorry, this is bullshit - Beijing has disgraced the Olympics with its fake fireworks, switching singers because one wasn't 'pretty' enough and using babies to compete in gymanastics. I'm sure it's easy to create fake passports and birth certificates but have a dentist check her teeth - that's a dead give away.

(edit note: don't worry, the US has done enough to disgrace the Olympics too. When did it become less about the sport and more about the nationalism?)

and have watched other sports and other nations. I am actually enjoying these olympics.

2. I was just thinking that - IOC needs to launch a full investigation
on China and its complete cheating throughout the Olympics.

They all need to be DQ'ed, and banned from the Olympics for life until they clean up their act.

6. If only all of China's athletes were of Lu Chen's quality.
I am still a huge fan of Lu Chen. Beauty, grace, technical ability, and emotion.

Yes, I much prefer the Winter Olympics.

8. Human rights violations out the wazoo, and this is what people have decided to complain about?

THAT is what should bother you about China and the Olympics.

10. HUman rights violations and oppression should be spoken out on whenever possible..
Edited on Mon Aug-18-08 11:42 AM by primate1
No matter who is doing them. Yeah, the United States commits them too, so speak out about the United States doing it as well. But in the context of the Olympics, China has actually used them as a means to oppress their populace even more, and therein should lie the true outrage over China and the Olympics.
