In response to China’s crackdown on pro-Tibet sympathizers and its continued support of the Sudanese genocide in Darfur, pressure is mounting on the U.S. to boycott this summer’s Olympics in Beijing.
Read more at Parade Magazine and take their poll.
My question is WHY DID THOSE IDIOTS Choose China in the First Place?
The Olympic Committee Knew about China’s Human Rights Violations!
I Say NO to the Boycott because that will only hurt the Athletes.
But do encourage your athletes to make a short statement or wear a Tibetan, etc., patch on their headbands, etc.
All that boycotting will do is benefit the Greedy Politicians. They are worse than Ambulance chasing Lawyers, if that’s possible.
While you’re at it read Why Congress Ignores Your Retirement at the bottom of the same page at Parade.com. These Political Whores will get after ONLY 20 Years, $55,000 initial yearly pension, as well as 401(k) savings and Social Security benefits! They can’t understand why anyone after laboring 45+ years would have a problem when they are sitting pretty after only 20 years of goofing off!
And for what??? For screwing up this Country!?!? They shouldn’t get a penny! And they should be charged every time they screw up & cost us unnecessary money.

I think it is pathetic that China’s actions in Tibet are deplorable. Nothing is being done, there, and the Chinese people aren’t really allowed freedom of speech either. . Amnesty International which I support, has this young man in jail for an article he wrote on Yahoo. He is being held in jail for his comments for nine year, minimum! That is just one person, I know about, I wonder how many others there are in that country that supposedly has free speech. To not let Tibetans be free, not allowing their language, or there belief being put in jail for speaking their own language, in their own country, the harm they have done to the priests, and nuns, No, I do not support them, I think they have violated the human-rights sanction big time! All the people coming to the Olympics, not really caring about anything , except themselves, and winning.
