By these standards the USA should be banned from hosting the games for our murderous, despicable, imperialistic invasion of Iraq, as we boycotted the Russian games for their invading Afghanistan. I believe the game's ideals supersede all this lying political bullshit..."<BR/><BR/>I almost wretched when I read these comments. I will never understand how it is that some Americans can hate this country so much and wish for its failure.<BR/><BR/>Complacent, whiny, left-wing pinkos! ha!Brian Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189469358767365319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-5506262275902381432008-08-10T20:48:00.000-04:002008-08-10T20:48:00.000-04:00MaT, brilliant post and collection of previous wri...MaT, brilliant post and collection of previous writings.

En el 1980 usted iba al centro de china y veia miles de bicicletas , hoy dia son millones de automobiles y ni una bicicleta. Cada pais obtiene lo que puede, usted no puede pensar que la china va a ser como los Estados Unidos en cuanto a derechos humanos y libertades personales. Concentrece en que Los Estados Unidos continuen asi, y olvidese de los otros paises, total eso no lo afecta a usted en nada. Cuba jamas cambiara su sistema a menos que hayaa una contrarevolucion sangrienta para acabar con los comunistas, de lo contrario tendremos que chuparnos ese sistema por siempre<BR/>contesteme en espanol mi idioma preferidoRafelitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848268338992904285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-46072447464615351612008-08-10T14:13:00.000-04:002008-08-10T14:13:00.000-04:00Great post Manuel so well said, of course we as Cu...Great post Manuel so well said, of course we as Cubans side with the Tibetans, they deserve our respect for their attempt at freedom, freedom that eludes them as it does us, while the free world puts on blinders.Vanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340793573089792646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021135461622264124.post-43960359521250432872008-08-09T20:29:00.000-04:002008-08-09T20:29:00.000-04:00MaT,you're on a roll tonight... glad to see you ar...MaT,<BR/><BR/>you're on a roll tonight... glad to see you are back!
