In the view of many people, it already did.

Come to Vancouver for 2010 instead. We promise to leave Tibet alone. Heck, we could not invade anybody even if we wanted to.

Aeson, is that for real?

Yeah it is Dracon

I'm all for being different, taking risks, being couragous, but that logo just sucks, it's not timeless, it's only ametuer at best.

So in other words, even if the human rights situation never improves in Tibet, Bush would have no problems attending the Olympics in China. Glad to know how highly Bush thinks of such frivulous sentimental nonsense like the idea of human rights. This goes also to Democrats who have taken the same atittude, including Pelosi, and European leaders.

Yes because boycotting historic manly games of speed skating and curling would really solve the human rights problem in China. I am assuming you also turned out all your lights for Earth Hour, only to cry when you realized no one else on your block did.

Those who interfere with the Chinese Olympics should be beheaded on the spot. This is not about China, which should be invaded at some other time.

Also, do the women athletes dress in skimpy outfits for the winter games or is that only the summer Olympics? I'm not gay so this is a legitimate question.

You sound either like an alien or a gay person.
Of course they do. Figure skating. And speed skating and skiing means skin-tight curve-hugging outfits. Not that they have a lot of curves to show...
