First of all, I'm Chinese, so I think it's kind of natural that I defend the Beijing Olympics.
A lot of people are saying that the pollution sucks in China and I agree.
USA holds 5% of the world's population, yet uses a stunning 25% of the world's resources. China, holds 25% of the world's population yet doesn't even use 25% of the world's resources.
CHINA does something to reduce the amount of pollution it creates. What does America do? Raise the price for the flammable liquid called gasoline, so Yale alumni Bush who got a C can get rich. AND this sets off a chain reaction. EVERYTHING in the supermarkets go up, up, up and UP! Why? Because, of the oil they need to ship it. The carrier needs fuel and since it's expensive, they have to raise the price of the product... Especially corn. Corn... Dammit to those whoever found corn and started to eat it.
A lot of people think that the Olympics shouldn't be in Beijing. Well, deal with it you... It means a lot to Beijing. Just because it's freakin' Communist doesn't make a big deal out of it.

i support the Olympics in Beijing, they should be kept a symbol of peace however, though the Chinese government has done a splendid job in hosting this event, their methods are questionable...i can see this issue from the protester's standpoint...still, i don't think the games should be cancelled/boycotted for this
Akatsukis Kari-Chan im in beijing right now for the olympics & i must say that theyve done a really good job. the stadiums are amazing & the pollution isnt half that bad. i actually like it here a lot. the government went all out to put this together. the ppl that are protesting against it are mostly made up of uneducated, closed-minded ppl
i heard the gov't kicked people out of their homes to "clean up" the streets of Beijing for the Olympics...i certainly don't know all the details and i'm sure you don't either, please don't make assumptions based on lack of background knowledge

the top 2 most polluted cities in the world according to this article are located in China, no USA cities made it to the top 10
wow....gas is a bit off topic, the rising price of gasoline is a complex subject, it's not really a single decision, it's controlled by many factors...obviously this causes a chain reaction leading to worse situations and i definitely agree that it is not a good idea to make fuel from corn...bad bad idea...however this has little to do with pollution in america (if anything, rising gas=less people buying/using it)
and i don't think the whole deal is that China is communist, it's more the lengths the government is willing to go to and the lines they're willing to cross to set up this whole affair...
but as i said, i don't claim to be an expert in this area, though i do know that the situation is much more complex than most assume it to be
