So we shouldn't protest out of respect for CHINA?

"We are begging for five hours of peace,"
Sam Ng, president of the Chinese Six Companies

"If I support the Olympics, of course I don't support the protests. This is the first time China has had the Olympics. We should be proud of this,"
Ling Li, 29, who immigrated to San Francisco from China's Guangdong Province eight years ago

These statements were in regards to the numerous protest of China's human rights policy. The Olympic torch relay has been marred in protest in various countries, and today the torch made its way to beautiful San Fransisco California.

Ling Li was so proud of China and her time there she decided to move to one of the most liberal cities in America. RIGHT, that makes sense. Games that have no impact on reality except for bragging rights are much more important than human rights. Where are my priorities sycronized Swimming brings the world together, I am sure that the 14 year olds in the nike factories appreciate the surge in workload. Doing their part for their countries first Olympics.

Lets go over some rules in the Olympic village that will make this years so exciting:

1. All athletes will be prohibited from taking their own food into the Beijing Olympic Games Village (China.org.cn)
2.U.S. athletes can criticize China's human rights record if asked about it at any time or place—as long as it isn't at a news conference organized for that purpose in an "Olympic area." (Chicago Tribune)

"The act (interfering with the torch relay) will surely arouse the resentment
of the peace-loving people, and is bound to fail," the spokesman was quoted as
saying, adding that the Olympic flame represents "peace, friendship and
progress."(CNN)
