That would be so funny if not for the reality of it

Haha!

It’s the kind of humour that makes you laugh, and then stop right away.

PS, where’s the image from?

That’s one mystery solved…

ummm eep?

Yeesh. :/

Clever.

Wow ! this is to the point ! Who is the artist???

OOOOOOOh no you didn’t……. oh you did

i don’t see the humour in this.. but I see extreme clarity and reality.

Damn! It’s funny because it’s true.

I was recently in a liquor store where they were giving free taste tester samples of some new beer imported from Beijing. Of course…. being the beer lover that I am…was not going to turn down a free sample tried the beer. It actually wasn’t to bad. I was then asked by the lady if I wanted to buy a six pack… and that if I did I had the chance to win a trip to Beijing. I said to her “I really wouldn’t even want the trip even if I were to win.”

She kinda laughed like she thought I was joking….. but really, I wasn’t.

Off topic, does anyone know how to get an avatar to show here?

Thanks taraden!! :0) Hope Matthew doesn’t mind me nicking one of his pink pills!!

Oh geez…couldn’t help but laugh!

It’s too bad about all these demonstarations and rallies to protest the games, because its really about the athletes.

Maybe shut up until AFTER the Olympics; then maybe you can start the demonstrating again…?

Wow. That’s funny and sad all at the same time.

I bet China currently has a price on your pretty head. sir.

That would be so incredibly cool if it wasn’t so horrible. Though, it is a good theory =P

Damnit…*shouldn’t

QFT.

that is unfortunate.

Exactly! LOL

Dissent or be a Christian and that is surely your fate; and the mercy will be if you are shot that quickly in many cases this would be the best case scenario being alive and in the governments bad graces can be much worse. I was just reading an article on World Net Daily about this very thing posted by Bob Unruh. We truly have no idea how precious our freedoms are here in North America (Specifically speaking of the US for myself.)

The fact that there are two views about two views about the Olypmics

The Chinese government certainly doesn’t see it exclusively that way. They see it as formal recognition of their having become a major nation.

You’re wrong in it being about the athletes only…countries wouldn’t fight so hard to host the Olympics if it were.

While the Olympics are a sporting event, they’re also promoted and used as an opportunity to “showcase” countries to the world and, in doing so, it’s important that all elements are exposed - not just the beautiful landscape and positive aspects. It’s time to see the good, the bad and the ugly (if they’re present).

My city is participating in the 2010 games and the Mayor has announced a huge, extremely expensive ($10 million) party here - both pre and post games. It has nothing to do with the “athletes” and, in his own words, is to “boost our ego” and have us seen as something more than just an extension of Vancouver. To put us on the map. And that has nothing to do with “athletes” or “sport”.

sad but.. maybe not too far from reality…
