It's sad that China hid their culture for as long as they did, as that country is really beautiful.

in 1936 a ruthless dictator was given the right to host the olympics, and now it has happened again the regime in Beijing has been chosen to host the 2008 olympics IT NEED TO BE STOPPED.
we cannot allow the games to be hosted in a country that has a regime as evil and corrupted as the chines government.

Proof of corrupt government please Herr_smitty how do I make a judgement without all the facts.

Search the net about forced abortions and sterilizations in China.  Or how about the persecution, arrest, torture, and killing of Chinese Christians who dare tell others about their faith.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3993857.stm   Human rights groups have documented an increasing number of arrests of Chinese Christians since the beginning of 2004.  Only for expressing their faith or printing literature about it.  Chinese police torture or kill people with impunity, even if they are trying to do nothing more than worship God.  Evil enough for you?

But how is that curroption?

As to use of the term evil, define evil.

No, define evil.

Well, let's see...  My personal definition is doing something that does more harm to society than good.

Good is defined as aiding people in matters of poverty, equality, and personal fulfillment.

The atrocities at Tiananmen Square led to the deaths of thousands.  The only "good" that came of it was increasing the Chinese government's grasp on their people.

I'm pretty sure if the American government had done something like that over a mere political protest, you'd be condemning it as evil.

Oh for fuck's sake.

At least he searched, though, I'll give him that

The sporting world has always been hypocritical, China being given the Olympics is only the latest example of this.

Look at how FIFA banned South Africa from competition during apartheid and yet FIFA and UEFA not only fail to do the same with Israel for operating a similar form of society but they go ahead and give Israel special permission to participate in the European zone. The governing bodies are good at banning little countries that can't do serious economic damage to other big nations. Don't expect to see the US, China, UK or any of their buddies banned from anything anytime soon.

I strongly agree in your broader angle.
