AMOW is crap. You think that would actually work?

+1 Although I seem to bludge either way. Hi latvia :wave: I don't know you, but I'd like to lol.

Re: Boycott of Olympics Long-term effects, not "at-the-moment". I know a lot of nations rely on China. America just controls the value of the dollar and China does the rest. Cutting trade with China would be harmful but if the govt cared about money so much and wanted to continue trading with...

Dean and Katie say so. They must be right! I know it wasn't you who said it. I think you missed the point. This argument isn't between you and me only. I'm talking about lower-class and upper-class. Surely you can tell the difference. The majority of people are in the middle-class so that's...

Re: Boycott of Olympics I'm talking about individuals. The people who don't know outweigh those who know. If everybody knew, they would make their voices heard by their government and push them to boycott etc. I would lose money for my rights if I had to. I wouldn't like to be tortured and...

Re: Boycott of Olympics I don't think any countries our going to boycott the Olympics is what I meant. I don't think there will be a Moscow repeat. I completely understand what you guys are saying and I agree - it would hurt if we stopped trading with China. But in the spirit of the Olympics...

Re: Boycott of Olympics Wait.... Did I not say I was trying? And did I again not say that I was collecting petitions? Whether it's something the government announces or not, I'm still working on it. But if it starts at the head of the state then it's obviously going to be much more effective...

They still can't budget. One of my friends has practically everything. And they're poor. You can tell they are. She steals. And she struggles to earn a buck here and there. But they don't have a car and they don't own a house and her sister can't get braces because her mother spends all of...

Re: Boycott of Olympics Sign up for their email updates then. I seriously don't want to dig through cyberspace to find you articles. Search anything. Any organisation. Don't tell me a petition has never worked. You lost me. Again, please?

a certain way = specific = stereotyped/"in" If you're going to insult someone, get it right. "in" fashion/good taste is almost an oxymoron. I avoid fads. If you wear something when it's a fad and continue to wear it after it has passed, you look like an even bigger loser than if you'd just...

Re: Boycott of Olympics You fail to ignore me lol. I don't support PETA. I'm not going to stand up for them. I receive a lot of their email updates btu I can't access my mail. Sorry. I can't come up with anything off the top of my head. But success stories do exist, whether it's PETA or...

Re: Boycott of Olympics Google. I don't support PETA so I'm not going to stand up for them. I was simply giving an example. I, as an individual, try to where possible. If the Aus government was to say so, I'd be the first person on the bandwagon. However, this would also cut trade ties with...

Re: Boycott of Olympics Do a google search, sigh. I really can't be bothered.

Re: Boycott of Olympics Petitions have worked for many years (eg PETA). In any case people pay tax and tax goes to the government. They're helping the government kill its people. Where is the logic in that?

lol So ironic. You're crap at English. I'll be bothered* I think ahead of my typing capacity. If that makes any sense whatsoever. You know what I mean. Okay, so it's possible somehow that they get the glasses. What next? What about their shoes? Their phones? Phones come with bills. Game...

Re: Boycott of Olympics The Olympics are about spirit. Some spirit you have lol. If Australia wasn't going to participate for example, I don't think many Australians would go to China. Who are they going to be rooting for? If you go back to probably my 2nd post, I did say that everything...

Re: Boycott of Olympics If athletes don't participate you cut a large portion of sponsors and tourists.

Re: Boycott of Olympics Are you saying we should give them more money?
