The invested interests spend so much national wealth in preparing the Olympic Games to blandish the international, launch so much propaganda about the 2008 Olympics to gloss over official corruption and social inequality!

At the last National People's Congress session, China's Wen wowed discretionarily for the "Chinese's enthusiasm for the 2008 Olympics" - ignoring the voices of naysayers.

Many feel the GDP comes from inflation. houses and food are all more expensive. China is falling into the capitalism seen in the 1800s, before the October Revolution.

Most recent and upcoming college graduates from all over China squash in fancy metropolises, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc, while other provinces remain stagnant.

Next spring, Chinese colleges and universities expect a record 4.95 million graduates, up 820,000 from this year. More than a million of them will wind up jobless, according to estimates.

The proportion of people's salaries to GDP has been falling year after year.The M2/GDP ratio is unusually high, 200% in 2005.All money is the ruling group's money,all hardship is the mass's hardship.Fight ,or die!

"Terrible idea. Please think of the athletes"? Some athletes,poor kids,just run a risk for money at the expense of life,health!Look forward to a better world.

"We should be embracing China at every possible opportunity. What possible bad could come from befriending such a massive power"?Don't think China is going into capitalism at all.It is an officialdom-economy.And the Stalinists won't change its autarchy without pressure.

No participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics! No watch the games! No buy the mementos! If you come to Beijing to see the games,wear a T-shirt bearing the logo above at least?

threetwooneZERO · 11-23-2007, 01:43 AM

haha can't beat the tao!!! I wonder what it would be like there.

Future Boy · 11-23-2007, 03:44 AM

Wrong board.

The Omega Concern · 11-25-2007, 05:56 PM

i doubt it'll happen. Bush couldn't even if he wanted to and on principle probably should, but c'mon...there's no stopping the efforts to consilidate the worlds economy into three spheres ( Asia, Europe and the America's) and these Olympics go a long way for that push.

there some scenario's i suppose for a boycott, but not likely at this point.

Future Boy · 11-25-2007, 07:26 PM

Im with you to the end Omega Concern.

Mariner · 11-28-2007, 10:15 PM

No buy the mementos! ? Pardon me but i'll be entirely too busy squashing in a fancy metropolis to even bother thinking about Olympics.

SlingeroGuitaro · 11-29-2007, 08:46 AM

swimming and track and field are awesome

i love the olympics! I hate NBC's coverage though. human interest stories and delayed event coverage. it's like sports coverage for women who don't like sports.

i want to see jamacians run, you fucks.

This is why I can't stand the Olympics. They focus so much on this crap as opposed to the actual athletic competition, which is what the Olympics is supposed to be about. I'd rather see a more diverse offering of the sports than be force-fed the endless personality profile bits that don't go anywhere.

And another thing: NBC's coverage of the sports isn't exactly diverse. For example, I for one would like to see more basketball (the most popular sport in the world outside of soccer) and less gymnastics (pubescent girls with great asses and no boobs that are dancing, doing flips, and stretching is okay, but in small doses).

not to mention the boycotts of '80 and '84 and the Miracle on Ice and about that '72 basketball game with USA vs. USSR , with the reds coming out on top as it was fixed by the refs before the world to see in real time.

good topic for this board...it's all im sayin.

SlingeroGuitaro · 11-30-2007, 06:17 AM

that's not the full picture there lefty. Hitler decided not to put the Gold medal around Jesse Owens head because he was black.

The middle pic is a Palestinian thang. You are aware of the '72 Olympic kidnappings of Isreali athletes, I hope.

Anyway, American Political history during the 1900's is beating back fascist regimes, so Nazi'ism and Communism were represented by certain nations which countered the U.S. In the Olympics idiologies are in competition as much as jocks, and the U.S. usually won the most medals for a long time with amateurs and not pro's and it gave the nation a sense of superiority, quite frankly.

That's all changed now and I hope for sports sake Beijing goes off without a hitch.
