What disrespect do you mean? Trust me, Lost Boys and patsy do not belong in the same sentence. I've come to know a bunch of them. They are at their core survivors.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundWhen China starts treating its own people with respect for their basic human rights, stops occupying and oppressing Tibet, and stops threatening war against Taiwan then I'll possibly consider giving them a little respect. Until that day, they will richly deserve all of the scorn that can be heaped upon them. And I think that the IOC deserves every bit as much disrespect for handing the Olympic games to such an oppressive regime. That was an absolute travesty and I will not be watching that spectacle.
I totally respect your choice, but i have to say that i find America's actions deplorable.
The disrespect that they are showing the country that is hosting the games, is beyond reason.

1500 is a great and beautiful race. A combination of speed and strenght.
The Olympics, unfortunately, has now included professionals. That is not the essence of the 'games'. Darts, Tennis etc - sports of a non-profession and no money?...... what happened?

Originally posted by Nietzsche1844The ideal of the Olympics has been lost altogether. As for any government, I think it unfair to judge any. To judge the Chinese, when not having lived there is untruth. Any government is not ideal to host such an historic event in today's world.
China should not have been chosen for hosting the Olympics.
The ideal of the Olympics is not compatible with China's goverment.
