Boycott the 2008 Olympic Games

Here is yet another reason to boycott the 2008 Olympic Games! If you aren't boycotting the Olympic Games in China because of the fact that millions of families were driven from their homes for sake of making room for the Olympics, or their financial support of Darfur, where at least 200,000 men, women and children, have died and 2.5 million have been displaced, by government-backed Arab militias then how about the recent violence in Tibet and human rights issues? Still not enough? Then think of the balance, the strength and the stamina you'll need at the 2008 Olympic Games when you're using the bathroom. Meet the squat toilet.

Yes, we do like to sit while we... ok, I won't go there but seriously, can you imagine the culture shock when people really have to go and they find a pair of flip flops & a hole in the ground? I think we have a whole new reality tv event.

Why the US won't take a stand:

China currently holds about $490 billion in US Treasury securities and has
foreign exchanges reserves totaling more than $1.5 trillion dollars
