With all of the civil rights violations that China is accused of, should the Olympics be held there? The Olympics is a symbol of peice and comming together.

Personally I don't think so. THere is nothing wrong with China participating but holding the Olympics in a place where it is not safe for the athletes to participate (the air polution) and their policy of civil rights abuse, I think its wrong.

Im not sure how I feel about it

i think i would have to agree...

I'm torn on this for a couple of reasons.

On one hand, I think it's atrocious that the Olympics are being held in such a country. The human rights violations there are beyond anything Hitler did. In that sense, I think a boycott is in order.

On the other, I think it would be wise for the U.S. to pick its battles. China is coming of age, they are slowly maturing, and going through rapid growth spasms. That said, I think it would retroactive for the U.S. to boycott the Olympics as a.) the Chinese would take it as a personal insult to their pride, and b.) it would breed more anti-Americanism in a country that certainly doesn't need it.

It's a lose-lose situation for the U.S. We should back off our support for the Tibetans, we're only destabilizing the region by sticking our noses into that clusterfvck.

LMAO, One of these post is a repeat
