hi Uli and yes I think a boycott is needed .We have to look at the way things are run within that country,and really take a good look.
Ulimaroa: There you go,
so we already have proof of two ideal worlds.
Does that make a solar system?
Or do we need a sun-type-star to circle around, Arlene?
OMG ULI take it easy on me, the questions are getting harder.so we already have proof of two ideal worlds.

Hi Hillibilly .... good to see you again,
been ages
Glad you think like (some of) us!
I have a question for all that have supported the disruption of the Olympic torch.
30 day after the game end in China. The Special Olympics games will begint here. Already the Special Olympic torch is being carried.
As you know the Speical Olympics is for disabled and mentally handicapped youths. This is no small event. Special Olympics teams from every country in the world will be there.
So here is my question. Would you support disruption of the thier torch as well? By 30 days, nothing will likely change on the Tibet issue.
It still needs media attention. Seems that this again would be something to achieve that.
Of course taking a torch from a teenage Special Olympian does
does seem a little harsh. They might have down syndrome, or being missing a leg or arm, in a wheel chair, or have some other major problem. But hey it is the Olympic Spirit and that is what the protest is all about, yes? Still in China, yes? Still going to get massive media, yes? So achieves all your objectives again, yes?
So you guys going to go and beat up on these kids...steal thier torch......these that have so much love and innocent in them.....that it puts you and me to shame?
Steal their dreams of Olympic glory and thier moment in the sun?
I just wanted to know where (if any) the boundaries were. And just something for you all that participated in this sad display on the first Olympic torch run to consider and think about.
What about it Uli.....going to organize this against the Special Olympic kids?

I say let the Greek's host it every time, they started it and they should pay for it.
