Dad was just here...

well well, Dad was just here so I could cut his hair and I showed him this web site thingie and he WENT OFF about the Olympics survey. Let me just say he is not for boycotting. In fact, he is not for any kind of anything I don't think. Basically he said that the Tibetians are now trying to kidnap all the athletes (hence they are the bad guys??) and boycotting would not hurt China any... and if boycotting is to stop China from getting money (you know, by tourists and all) then why don't we boycott all things India (who don't have a great record for looking after their citizens) and for that matter NZ because we don't agree with everything the Govt. says or does. Facinating. It was so pinkity-apricot and well, DAD. Chuck you should have been here.

Well, I am sure Chuck or whoever will totally disagree with me but I am with Murray. There is no way I will boycott the Olympics. This is not about China, or shouldn't be. I am sure there are things that go on in that country that need to be amended, but there are unfortunately MANY countries that have problems, not just them. The athletes that train for the Olympics should not be punished because people in the world have a problem with China, which by the way is a beautiful country full of wonderful people who have absolutely nothing to do with the Tibetan issue or anything else for that matter. If you are going to boycott China, you might as well gird up your loins to boycott almost every other country that has been accepted as an Olympic host for future games. No one has a clean slate. Le fin.
