Who here is against the bejing olympics due to the treatment of tibetans by the chinese? I am, so I'm not buying, watching or taking part in anything to do with the event. Who agrees?
Agreed with amoeba, any country that hosts the Olympics stands to make millions and it will be no different for China even if some people decide to boycott. Hit them where they butter their bread, by boycotting their cheaply and poorly made export products currently flooding the world market.
Besides, I thought the point of the Olympics was to put aside politics just for a few days and focus on the athletic competition of people from all around the world. Why use the Olympics as a political tool? It degrades the games just as much as the athletes themselves cheating.
I disagree and I share the same views as mjax 1973.
Olympics is solely for athletic competition. Not for politics. There are numerous athletes that work their rears off for the Olympics. In addition, many have dreamed of participating in that huge event and for them to boycott it is very unfair to them.
I AGREE !! let them have a voice .. its not fair that everything goes on happy chappy when people are suffering everyday. its also horrible that china says if tibetans keep on protesting they will surpress tibet more
excuse me, but the person ur talking to may as well BE tibetan, this is the internet, you have to remember. and stop saying negative things! its mean! (well from my point of view)
you are just boycotting the olympics? if you are upset over the treatment of tibet how about NEVER buying chinese made goods? the olympics is a drop in the bucket.
Tibet always belong to China, one part of China. It's the civil affairs of Chinese.
There is nothing to do with you.
I AGREE WITH THE PERSON ABOVE.
