why does everyone want to boycott these olympic games? just because china has dealings with corporations in darfur that perpetuate genocide? because they treat their workers like crap? that whole tibet thing? that is nonsense. the olympics are the perfect place to show china just how much they suck. "you think that's funny china? stealing all of our automotive jobs? see you in the pool!" that's why the olympics are great. you can take your problems to a neutral arena and work them out on a balance beam or racing around a track. if we had boycotted the berlin games, jesse owens couldn't have crushed all those uppity germans and shown hitler what a tool he was. this year, as africans dominate the marathons, and tibetans sweep the mountain climbing competition, maybe china will think about how lame it is.
