Are You Planning to Watch the Olympics?
David In Indy:
Hey wait a minute Artiste! That's a bit harsh don't you think? Just because some of us plan on watching the Olympics doesn't make us indecent. I've always enjoyed watching the Olympics, and I enjoy watching all the talented young athletes from the different countries. And I highly doubt my watching or not watching the Olympics would have any impact at all on China.
I'm not that important! :laugh: ;)

Artiste has a point, if the Chinese regime is oppressive, watching the Olympics indirectly supports their oppression. So, perhaps those who agree that the gov in Beijing should not be given any support then should not watch the Olympics.

How? How does my watching the Olympics in Indianapolis support Chinese oppression over on the other side of the world? I don't get it.
So you're saying the entire world should tune out the Olympics and ignore all the athletes and their hard work because we are upset with China? China will continue to do what it's doing regardless if I watch the Olympics or not. Like I said, I'm not that important. And besides, perhaps the Olympics will allow China to feel more a part of the international community and cause them to rethink their human rights policies. :)
Artiste:
Merci, David !
Yes, thanks, since I am happy that you are responding... thinking !!
David, I consider you an important person !
You are important to me and to others, since you think !
You can think of continuing your freedom, surely !
Having said that, did you see that I had posted on many of my threads among other reasons for boycotting them: that China gathered gays in that country before the Olympics,
is that fair ?
I find that indecent of China to place gay men there in prison for no reason, but because they are gay and their 2008 Olympics China nears !
Do I have at least one point David, may I ask ?
Au revoir,
hugs!
Artiste:
I heard on the radio lately, that the Olympics were done as games by Spartans, and that they were all gay men !
But, it seems to me that the Olympics now is anti-gay !
So why are gay watching them ?
I think that I am a decent person, as gay man too, and I am respecting myself and other gay men and others, when I will boycott the China 2008 Olympics, for many reasons, for feedom being one reason !
What do you think ?
Au revoir,
hugs!
