MFW - KingCheetah's last offering has plunged you into severe, crippling face debt. You are the Bear Stearns of face loss, and there is no Federal Reserve Bank of Face willing to bail you out. You need to declare face bankruptcy and end this charade, once and for all. CHAPTER 7
I didn't see pigs fly this morning, but it appears that the Bush II administration is more in touch with reality than the rest of the Western world. Whodda thunk it?! Too bad it has no credibility left with anyone... Hillary is desperate and grabbing at straws, Obama, on the other hand, is sensing victory and playing the responsible statesman on the issue. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7b1674e4-05f4-11dd-802c-0000779fd2ac,dwp_uuid=9c33700c-4c86-11da-89df-0000779e2340.html?nclick_check=1
Thousands of supporters are already gathering, hours before the start of the relay. No sign of protesters yet. On related news, at the just concluded IOC meeting in Beijing, all 205 national and regional members of the IOC have committed to attend the Beijing Olympics, making this the largest Olympics in history.
China wants it both ways - to be a great power but to be exempt from great power scrutiny. If you can't take the heat, exit the kitchen. Leave your paranoia at the door.
Live of the torch relay in San Francisco for those interested. http://www.nbc11.com/torchrelay/index.html?dl=mainclick
The Olympic torch relay is a Nazi-invented tradition dating back 1936, invented to promote racial superiority. No, seriously, it is. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7330949.stm Smart move of the Chinese to take a symbol with that kind of history and make it into a nationalist rallying cry around an authoritarian regime. Real smart.
White ppl in north american are originally invaders from europe. are you still calling yourselves invaders?
Your post would only make sense if the Olympic torch relay were carried out twice in the history of Olympic events, one by Nazi Germany, and one by China. Freakin' moron. PS- The Nazi-Dalai Lama connection as well as His Holyass's pursuit to seek racial purity for his Tibetan followers are such a well documented subject (unbeknownst to the vast ignorant hoi polloi in the West notwithstanding) that I wouldn't want to touch on it if I were a die-hard Free Tibeter like you ... lol
Yes, absolutely. White Europeans armed with more knowledge, more powerful weapons and immunity against more diseases were set loose on the sparsely populated, vastly abundant North American continent where they plundered the land and wiped out the native peoples. We imported and enslaved the black people of Africa too. Our forefathers were some ethnocentric assh*les. In the last half of the 20th and in the 21st centuries we have tried to rectify that by supporting freedom from tyranny around the world, albeit clumsily. So, now you tell us what's really what with China.
He's also calling Mohammad Ali a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer for carrying the torch by that logic. But from a racist like him, nothing is surprising. Since Nazi Germany started the Autobahn, the whole world should ban highways.
I've yet to see any nation make the Olympic Torch relay into the kind of jingoistic nationalistic rally that the Chinese have this year, at least not since the Cold war years, at the very least. But this probably outpaces even that - I mean Chinese are celebrating their suppression of an indigenous uprising - pretty sick stuff, even if they are brainwashed by Goebbels' Xinhua State News Service. I only hope nobody dies trying to get the thing to the top of Everest. But I guess a few dead bodies is no big deal for the PRC - they got more to take their places!
Read the posts numbnuts. Torch relays happen all the time. Every few years in fact. TOrch relays used as shows of national dominance, the way China and Nazi Germany use them - are less common. Nobody said they couldn't have the stupid torch relay - but turning it into a Nationalistic Parade is in poor taste, even for the PRC, which is generally tasteless. The PRC certainly doesn't know sh-t about PR.
Hey. my comment about north americans are regarding to his comment about olympic torch relay. but if you really wanna what's with china. let me tell you. China has recovered from culture revolution 30 years ago, changing itself froma a chaotic communist nation to a strong economic country. How long does it take US to do that?
Let me break this down for you PRCy boyz Hitler gave speeches at Nuremberg parade ground (the famous ones with the banners from the Riefenstahl films) proclaiming how awesome Germany ones. Does that mean current German Chancellor Angela Merkel can't 1. give speeches? No. 2. Go to Nuremberg? No. 3. Say Germany is awesome? No. But does it mean that she can go to the Nuremberg parade grounds and give a speech about how awesome Germany is? YES - and if she does, people would say its in poort taste. You'd think you guys would understand with, what with your obsession with poor taste regarding japanese war shrines or whatever You're welcome!
Let me break this down to you, Nazi-loving-racist Herr Hauptmann Fisher. Paris is NOT Nuremberg parade grounds. London is NOT Nuremberg parade grounds. San Francisco is NOT Nuremberg parade grounds. Unless you are claiming those cities were full of genocide history, so the peace and competition symbol of Olympic torch shouldn't be displayed in those shameful places. Torch relay is a relay, not a parade. It's an effort to show how China is, yes, and how China is welcoming the world to joining this sport event. It's about participation, sports, and Olympics. Is it about China? Yes, because China is the host country. When Ali carried the torch, the whole audience were chanting "USA, USA". That was NOT a Nationalistic Parade, but rather a healthy love towards own country and pride of the country. Of course, you can't stop there are Nazi-loving hysterical pretentious hypocrite spitting to such nature human emotion. PRC isn't good at PR, that's a given. That's not an excuse for biased self-righteous crowd to lie everything about China. You are NOT welcome.
