Hopefully Chicago gets the bid for 2012.
..but even then, I'm going to the Team USA 2008 boxing qualifiers in Chicago.
Well, I hate PETA.
There, now everyone is square.
That was rather disgusting.
What the hell are you going to use cat skin for anyways?
Yes, I think that's cruel. Yes, I think animals shouldn't be treated that way. No, I'm not some hippy animal activist.
Now who the heck wants to follow and support a person like this:
And yes, she's holding a chicken.
Yeah some parts of China eat dogs and cats.
But Beijing is doing quite alot of change their society for the better.
What's the link between Olympics and that anyways? Hmm.
Of course it is. I have more reasons than that, of course. I just felt like listing a single reason.Quote:
Wow, what an uninsightfull position, to say you dislike a country for that reason.
Understandable. Environmental protection requires a lot of funding and cooperation by corporations, and animal rights requires frequent inspections.Quote:
Noone wants it this way, some countries in the world (like china) simply cant afford environmental protection, or treating animals right, doing all that is a luxery, that we can only afford by abusing and having abused those countries weaknesses to an extent; Just count how many "made in chinas" you can find at your home and spend a mere thought how they where made in china.
What's a promile? Sorry, it's late, and my automatic spell-check in my brain isn't working. I'm not being a smartass and trying to point out your grammar problems. I just have no clue what a promile is.Quote:
For all that bothers you in this video you most likely payed a promile of it as well with your money.
Excuse me, but what emotions? The =[? I'm perfectly justified in being =[ for all those =[ cats and dogs. Just look how =[ they are in the video!Quote:
If you are interested in a better world, you leave aside those emotions, a country isnt a person and just like a mountain wont care if you hate it or not, as you act now you help noone but your own ego. I think your point is unfair towards those people.
However, unfair to "those people"? Which people?
Well, sorry, bud, but the Chinese have too many problems of their own for them to be caring about me, some American, disliking their countries humanitarian, and environmental policies. Stripping people of their political and humanitarian rights is really uncool, and I am perfectly justified in judging a country based on how it treats its own people. It's not unfair to say that a government represses its people, massacres protesters, arrests dissenters, and all other really uncool stuff, not to mention gross environmental negligence.
Perhaps I should have been more specific and say I disliked the government of China, and not literally China itself.
I thought it would be pretty obvious, but I guess I'll have to explain anyway.Quote:
What's the link between Olympics and that anyways? Hmm.
It sends a clear political message when you host an event that is celebrated all over the world in a country that repeatedly violates humanitarian rights laws. Pretty much, it says "That's okay, we'll it host there anyway, despite how awful you are to your people."
Well you can hate them all you want but thats not going to stop China from becoming one of the next power nations of the world, and if you want to be ignorant and try and denie that do that but you will just be hurting youself in the long run. China has a different way of doing things, and I see no reason why you should hate them. THey have ****ed up huge amounts but are changing, they were never on the bad side of a world war, only the victums of one.
I don't hate them, I just dislike them. Big difference. And never have I denied that they were not going through an economic surge. (Whether or not they become a power depends on more things than just GDP, which is what the media is all focusing on.) Where are you getting this from?Quote:

Yes, they have a different way of doing things. How is that relevant? Are you trying to make the point that "it's different, not worse or better"? I can't tell. And I've already told you the reasons I dislike them (not hate.) If you can't see them, then you haven't been reading my posts, or you think that it's just fine to massacre protesters, and repress political freedoms.Quote:

Changing? Probably, yes. For the better or the worse? That remains to be seen.Quote:

And what's the world wars have to do with it?
Lothia, I'm disapointed. You're usually much more intelligent than this. Half of your points are irrelevant. Get some sleep, man.
I think you disappointed the rest of us here. The fact that you mentioned "I don't like China" says alot about your.... maturity.
err... this happens in every country... =.=
you can find videos of animal abuse and cruelty from all the big countries on youtube ...
how can u "dont like china" just because there are a few ppl who treat animals badly... it's just too big of a generalization...
and what does it has to do with Olympics... =.=
Sort of just skimmed through this topic, and I'm having breakfast so I probably don't want to see the video.
Animal cruelty, AHAH. Oh ***** thats funny. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I probably am. But is this topic actually trying to show the obscenity of eating dogs, when countless farm animals are born only to be slaughtered when they're out of use? (I don't eat dogs either, mind you.) Dogs do score more cute points than cattle and chicken, but I don't consider in myself in the position to say anything about how horrible it is to eat dogs, being the regular beef jerky and chicken strip person I am.
Excuse me? Criticizing a country based on how they treat their citizens is "immature"? You have the strangest idea of maturity that I have ever heard.
I have been talking about animal cruelty if you bothered to read my posts. Apparently, you haven't.Quote:
so u dislike china due to animal cruelty...
cool,why talk about censorship police brutality or executions when we can talk about animal spanking...
We also have one of the highest standards of living, a low violent crime rate, a nice environment, a politically free populace, and all of which with their humanitarian rights. Besides, Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were justified at the time. More lives were probably saved in the long run because it ended the war sooner. However, being a poor country with overpopulation is no excuse for what China is doing.Quote:
and anyway,there has been a nation that nuked more then 200.000 civil ppl including women children and olds...and they have been Olympic Hosts twice.
I'd probably be eat dog if I had the chance, but no, this topic is no longer about animal cruelty. It's about China, and them breaking humanitarian and environmental laws, and being able to host the Olympics anyways.Quote:

True, geological location and natural resources have a lot to do with a country. However, them being poor is no excuse for police brutality, or a lack of freedom of speech, or things such as that.Quote:
That would be a diffrent issue and point to a valid discussion;
Sadly they as well can only work with the natural resources of their country and struggle hard to get out of the pittyfull position that the world has enforced on them.
changing those type of things is easier said than done.
I wasnt talking about geological or natural resources and I see no connection between them china being a rleatively (however not in the absolute) poor country. I was just hinting that, if huge tasty duckheaded salamanders where natively lifing in Europe, the western world would call them normal food nowadays. However, because we are "rich" we wouldnt treat them that bad on their way into the pot.
I thought you where talking about animal cruelty as you said in the same post...
Being a poor country has a lot to do with the likness of armed conflict and civil war; its not an excuse but the reason for such as that.
Your thread is a fail in my oppinion.
I mean, do you feel qualified to lead a country like china in a better way than the current government does? Do you realy think that you can bring magical happiness to Millions of people whith just banning all that stuff you dislike for some reason?
I guess you should step forward than and present the easy 5-points plan to the ultimate super-ultra-extravagant future of your dreams. Everyone will be put to shame by the supperior life that you can offer;
Either that or something diffrent.
Ah, and concidering the "clear" message, gl in trying to make bad things worse, this concept has already worked so many times in history.
No, and no. Where did you get the idea that I could? If you read my posts, you'd notice that I never said those two things ever. Stop making assumptions, because I don't debate with people who don't read my posts.Quote:

I don't have an easy plan for a utopia, either. No one does.Quote:

Which is why I think the Olympics is a good place to start, since it IS a start of the international community saying, "We're not going to let you treat your people this way."
You're right, this thread is a fail. No one here seems to give a crap about human or animal rights.
Xeno your first post has nothing in it that shows what you hate about them and I wasn't willing to read 2 pages of hate. (or dislike)
You have a right to hate whatever the hell you want to hate. Doesn't make you any more or any less of an asshole/ saint.
