i may just be some stupid teenager, but a stupid teenager with an opinion. boycotting the summer olympics this year is useless, and a waste of time and energy. the olympics is about the accomplishments/achievements and to recognize the best of the best athletes and to compete against other athletes from around the globe. this is a international sporting event, NOT a political event. i agree china is treating tibet unfairly and it's terribly wrong, but the rest of the world including america is treating china unfairly.
we held the olympics and then we bombed iraq over an irrelevent reason to make iraq "better" but all we have done is raised gas prices and caused hell for thousands of innocent civilians and pretty much killed off our own army. china is finally being recognized as an important international country and we should support them.
in addition, beijing reportedly has terrible air conditions that are too smoggy, but visit (west?) hollywood & look up towards the hollywood sign. the air quality there is so bad you can barely see it, even though itz white on a green hill. now that's bad air quality. why doesn't the world stop picking on china about little and big things and take a good look at themselves. america is treating, killing, and destroying the lives of iraqis and afghans. but itz ok since we're not hosting the olympics? NO! china just seems more vulnerable to attacks because they're hosting the games.
all in all, the olympics is an event that many will always remember for SPORTS and not POLITICS. no offense, but have u watched the news lately about the torch? no offense to you guys, but most of the people attacking the torch bearer are white - not of color. i'm sorry if i have insulted any of you, but i am only stating my opinion and the olympics is an important event to me that i only get to watch every four years.
