A complete farce before it starts....A Tibetan Takeaway or a convenient excuse for asthmatic athletes not to take part...
Either way, one wonders about the ethics of allowing this games to continue.?
Should it be boycotted or not.?

We had a vote in our house earlier, and it ended up 8 to 24.
Nothing was decided, but we had a cracking dinner.

I saw footage of Tom Jones doing a 'Free Bangor' gig in the outskirts of Islamabad, but no-one seemed to give a flying one.  |

Historically you might be correct, but we do have a few (  )more rights than citizens of China do nowadays, e.g. freedom of speech, the right to have more than 1 child, free (albeit largely crap) press & TV, etc, etc. And, to answer the original question, yes it should be boycotted. |

Sport and politics should not be aired in the same breath, but Nations use them a power thingy. How can we tell the Chinks about their human rights. The Middle East seems to come in View. Fuckin Hyppocrisy
