China treats it citizens as shyt, and there are countless human rights violation (I'm always in wonderment as to why the US embargos Cuba, when China and Russia is by far worse than Cuba! hypocrites). This would show China that world cares, and we're tired of their nonsense there. Human rights is the most important rights eva.
So should we?!?!?!

I'm all for the Olympics. I'm not an athlete by any means, but it sure is great to see people working hard and accomplishing their dreams out there. :P

What's his face won't let anyone import anything anyway from what I remember, otherwise they'd have Japanese automobiles, yet they don't. Cuba still has stuff from the50's or whatever. I could be wrong though.
I think it should be boycotted unless they actually improve their air quality, instead of just relocating the sensors to cleaner areas. It'll be harmful to the athletes at the LEAST.

But seriously, what Me111 said. The Olympics are supposed to bring people together and have friendly competition from countries. There's no reason to boycott it. If action is to be taken against China, then thats not our choice.

It wouldn't because everyone else would either agree, or be too busy crapping their pants in fear to do anything. :P
And we have highly accurate long range interceptor missles now Split. ICBM's are useless against us unless they're stealth enabled. Something the Chinese aren't capable of.
But enough about how powerful and awesome America is. :D
Something has to be done about China's policies, but for now, we have bigger fish to fry. China just needs to clean up their air for now.

I don't think they'd boycott it. Otherwise in future years they'd have to have the dude running with the eternal flame fall down three times, and that's dangerous D:
