Afternoon guys.
Right the Olympics, in China. I didn’t watch any of it. I think its frankly disgusting the way that we go over there and heap praise on the Chinese government… sorry the government of the “People’s Republic of China” whilst they kill their own citizens. Democracy, Republic, Monarchy, none of it really makes any difference when your ‘representatives’ or leaders are Autocrats. I don’t know what the IOC were thinking giving it to them. I mean the event is supposed to inspire kids.
This should be the man getting the medals. He's the one who has all the balls.
Having visited Brokep’s blog (A prominent PirateBay member) this week, I have to agree with his sentiments. The Journo’s complained about being subjected to the great firewall of China, plus they blocked Itunes the other week, the people have to endure on a regular basis.
The Olympics though, were basically a showpiece, ‘The West’ didn’t see anything that the Government didn’t want them to. I think people are just forgetting the main point when they engage in the spasmodic Olympic fervour they forsake their fellow humans who are being oppressed. It just shows how easy it is to make the public forget when you wave a shiny spectacle or two in their face. I’m not religious in any way but I consider myself moral and think Kant got it pretty much right when he wrote “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” And I wouldn’t want to live under the conditions the Chinese are subjected to.
Would you?
