    What do you think? There history in the human rights area leaves a lot to be desired, as does their current treatment of innocents in Tibet.

    Not to mention killing whales.

    Are our country too scared to pull out of the Olympics?

    We shot into Iraq like a bullet from a gun and yet China have been getting away with this for years, yet our government stand by and say nothing.

    They get 9 year old children out of bed at 4am for olympic training for 12 solid hours too.

    We should forget all about the UK Olympics in 2012 …. and let China have a second go it it.

    We’d save the country in general (and Londoners in particular) a load of money.

    That would mean my sons school being closed for nothing, and the new building of a multi-supersonic state of the arts sports centre also being for nothing. :twisted:

    I just think this countries (well the government in particular) stance on that country leaves a lot to be desired.

    Its a disgusting regime.

    Having these 9 years olds training for 12 hours a day will surely keep them out of mischief, and away from sins of the flesh or drugs.

    China, while it may be many things, is not a whaling nation. It’s a good thing you didn’t mention it.

    Perhaps not on the scale with Japan but they do.

    Along with tigers and elephants.

    Do the humans in Tibet being killed not bother you? It does me. They are a horrid nation and I hate the fact it all gets ignored.

    Perhaps as they are a super power or whatever thats called nowadays, and very successful business wise this country has no “need” to put across its feelings on how the country is run.

    Unlike Iraq. Or Afganistan.

    When I was 9 I was already working 18 hr shifts down a Coal Mine. Made me the man I am today.

    These Chink kids have it easy, and are in no position to complain about a bit of training.

    ….. yes and if the Tibetans would just stop ringing their little bells and looting & burning shops – the Chinese wouldn’t need to shoot at them would they?
