Get rid of Yao?

  1. YES - on moral grounds, especially since he likes his country.

    We should waive him and sign a tibetan point guard, Tenzing Paul.

    Maybe we should sign a member of the Falun Gong. He could light himself on fire during halftime. That would be an original stunt.



    Too far?

    I guess we won't see you posting any more from this moment on. Right now, you can't find one single PC or Mac on the market, that doesn't have some parts made in China.

    Have you ever seen 7 years in Tibet?

    Throw out those crappy parts then. Be a man, stand up to your own words and belief. Good luck finding one single working PC or Mac on the market, which doesn't have any crappy parts made in China. Can I assume that you are a liar if we see you posting again?

    You can assume that China sucks. The rest of the world knows it.

    take it easy on him. :D if he stops using products from states that have bad human rights record, then he won't be able to function anymore. i mean, he'll have to ride bike or something to work. oil is from mideast, venuzula, etc. all southeast asian countries, india, and developing countries all have so called "sweat shops". i mean, you don't want him running around butt naked do you?

    At least you admit to China's human rights atrocities. That's a good first step.

    we should also waive Luis scola, as he is a huge fan of the kirchners, who are allies with chavez, who supports china.
    We can also forget about signing navarro or calderon, since both have appeared in Spain's socialist propaganda ads, and socialist spain will always be thankful to china for sending men to fight the forces of franco and hitler.

    since we are waiving yao, I would like the U.S to return all their medals won during the reagan and Bush sr. administrations. *human rights violations from those years are very well documented.

    we should only allow players from these countries as they are neutral:


    Finland
    sweden
    netherlands
    costa rica

    I hope you're not arguing Warren Jeffs is being persecuted because of his religion.

    well, most posters know that there are problems in China. the difference is that, we want a smooth change. you guys just b**** at it. and the more you guys b**** at it, the less chinese posters want to change. it's really a reaction. so if yall want to see change faster, stop b****ing that much. like i said many times before, 20 years ago when i was a kid and now, the change is so great that most of you can't comprehend. and we are to keep changing if yall stop b****ing. :D

    I think we should waive Battier, since he's played on the US national team, and the US tortures people.
