And WE are gonna boycott for 'human rights abuses" ? (graf pics)
What a load of shit. If we had any balls the US would revoke China's 'most favored nation' status and stop doing so much business with them. But no...we are gonna boycott the opening ceremonies, jeeeesh. On top of that our massive hypocrisy is hanging out there for all to see , human rights ...we should look in the mirror.

3. this is true evil
so wrong on so many levels. What useful information has any of this garnered? And to think that it is loved and approved of by Dr Laura, who peddles her influence all over the country, saying she believes in torture. How many innocents have been beaten to death?

4. Yes, we should.
Absolutely we should boycott China.

Our leadership has failed us on many occasions, no question. None of the human rights abuses committed in our name should deprive us of our right to protest the ongoing horrors in Tibet, Darfur, China, Taiwan and elsewhere.

Unlike the Chinese, we are still free to protest.

Give the far right time, though. They (and a large segment of the American people) are capable of pretty much anything....

11. So, I guess the definition of hypocricy has changed.
Now it means "Caring about more than one thing at a time".

12. A country of hypocrites
If we really cared we would stop borrowing money from them for our own war crimes in Iraq.

WE are making them rich with interest, we moved all of our manufacturing companies there to take advantage of their low wages...it is just stupid to complain about them really.
