Well, don't forget that in addition to this, China just experienced an earthquake and schools were destroyed and children were killed. I wonder how they're all taking this in.

definite and 1000's of persons are being thrown out of their properties in Vancouver BC to coach for 2010 there. The statistics dont replicate the genuinely concern via fact whilst they do an "valid" count style of the homeless they count quantity the infants fabulous out on the line and not the genuinely homeless who're now staying with friends and kin, or in a take care of. IMO the olympics is all with regards to the wealthy human beings, in basic terms their teenagers could have the money for the preparation, except they're incredibly fortunate and locate somebody to assist them like teenagers from small cities, in basic terms the wealthy could have the money for to attend the olympics and in basic terms the wealthy could have the money for the upward push of their taxes. FYI China has a democratic semi presidentail respresentative government and the persons vote. all of us over the age of 20 is eligible to vote. it is not a protection rigidity state. some human beings have self belief it hasnt replaced because Mao. Thats historical history. the persons in China are way happier than the persons in Canada or the different western united states I even have been in, and kinder and extra hospitable too human beings have been compensated for having to bypass, no person replaced into overwhelmed, killed or tortured, some have been arrested in simple terms as they have been in Vancouver BC. the city of Vancouver is mendacity with regards to the numbers of displaced human beings and do their "valid" count quantity via counting street teenagers, which isn't consultant of the homeless in any respect. lots of the stuff on the internet, esopecially yahoo is ALL lies and so is most of the media coverage on China while you're basically fascinated and worried bypass to China and see for your self. i'm going decrease back next week for my 0.33 time dwelling in China. i will communicate Mandarin and characteristic talked to as many human beings as conceivable approximately their government and their circumstances. the topic concerns they have are comparable to we've in NA and different western countries, inflation, the cost of procuring for a house. Their social classes are extra effective than those in Canada pretty for the disabled. And definite I even have traveled into rural areas and spoken to the persons there besides.

I know, I also find that I really don't care, I am just glad that I am not Chinese, their country is messed up. Even if we did care, what are we supposed to do, boycott the Olympics?

Boycotting is probably what the Chinese hoped we would do, just for that reason, that would just drive up their medal count even further, and that after all is what they care about, all for "the glory of the people's government"

I am. I am also aware a Chinese man killed an competing Olympian's Father In law & injured his Mother in Law.

Hmmmm, but that's barely gotten a word on the news hasn't it??

I wonder why
