Should we boycott the Chinese Olympics?

I never thought the Olympics should be held in China because of their tendency to gross human rights violations. Now, the crackdown in Tibet: Link....

Do you think we should boycott?

I would truly hate to disappoint our US athletes, most of whom would never have another chance at Olympic gold. Is it too late to MOVE the Olympics to somewhere reasonable?

Why boycott?

The Chinese practice forced abortions – a liberal’s fantasy come to life.

That is ridiculous. "Pro-choice" does not equal "pro-forced." Kind of flies in the face of "forced," actually.

Sure.

I love the term “pro-choice.” “Choice” implies three options: keeping the baby, giving the baby up for adoption, and aborting the baby. You never hear liberals supporting keeping the baby or giving the baby up for adoption. But they do, however, manage to always support the “choice” of aborting the baby. That is why I prefer the term “pro-abortion.”

Chinese Water Torture

Although it probably won't be an Olympic event, Governor Busche borrowed the infamous Chinese Water torture technique. So he has to go to China under the guise of attending the Olympics, so he can search their libraries and prisons for even more novell interrogation techniques.
