it's only controversy because the media has nothing else to harp on, bush is dead duck, oil prices dropping, etc etc.. the media needs something to focus on that they can sensationalize...

Was the US revoking VISA's of people that disagreed with their policies?

haha the idiot is comparing atlanta's pollution to beijing. Did you see anyone wearing masks while running in Atlanta? Were we beating up journalists?

so just because atlanta isn't as polluted as beijing, it's not polluted? read and comprehend my original post. it seems to me there is an idiot here and it's not me.

wow i am talking to an idiot. he dosen't even realize it.

there should be some type of punctuation after the exclamation, it'll help your argument.

idiot says what?

Exactly! We should just bury our heads in the sand and ignore flagrant violations of individual rights. That's clearly the solution.

i think the US should fix it by leaving iraq and heading there next. the US should fight for those individual rights, plus who knows what natural resources they may be hiding there.

China may not be perfect, but it is a great place, and even the smallest moves in the right direction are moves in the right direction. You have to start somewhere.

these Olympics are a joke because of China. Seriously, I think this amount of controversy is unheard of. I hope the Olympic committee takes notice and thinks about who they give the games to.

By your logic, they shouldn't offer the games to the US because of the Salt Lake city fiasco.

wait until someone waves a Free Tibet/Taiwan/Darfur or any other country and gets caught by the "police"

you mean like this?

Well they did set up protest zones to keep all the protesters hidden. FYI, you need a permit to protest so that you can be easily be rounded up and executed after the Olympics.

i already told you that it would help your argument if you found out what punctuation was and used it in the right place.
i guess that is to be expected, as you can never teach a monkey to do anything besides play with itself and chunk poo.
 
Big deal. Most countries, including the US, deny visas for similar reasons routinely. Any country has the right to deny foreigners entry for any reason whatsoever. It's too bad this kind of things goes on, but China is by no means alone in these kind of actions.

Capalitzation would help your argument also.
 
i am sorry, but i would like to add this about china and the olympics.

it seems these days nobody is going to be pleased about where the olympics are held. The sad fact about society is you can't please everbody. No matter what country they are held in, there are human rights abuses. I think only one country has the right to say there are no abuses but i don't think we'd like the olympics to be held there. I think giving the olympics to china is giving china a chance to be better, and we need to support and stand for that. We spend too much ime allowing the media to paint a poor picture, and we endorse the media for it. It's too bad that we have become a media driven society that needs instant news. instant news tends to sensationalize because it has to get the ratings. Stories become bigger then they are because nobody cares if they are not front page.

Nobody is going to be pleased because everyone competes to have the olympics in their own country. It's worth a lot of money. I don't give a damn if it was held in the USA, and we protests all over the place. I only give a damn when people try to bother the games as a way of protesting. People should have left the torcher bearers alone. They should have had some runners carrying banners and signs running with the torch, that would have been better. Giving China the olympics is like rewarding a child for bad behavior. China hasn't done anything to foster a better society there or abroad. It's not some global conspiracy to paint China as bad, it's just the cold truth of the situation. You're just an angry Chinese person in a America because nobody is excited about the olympics in your home country.

He's already won, but at least they didn't run over him with a tank or shoot him, so I guess he is lucky.

Sure beats him having an "accident" over there.
