Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

how can you say that its impossible that a future olympics could NEVER beat athens?? china has a 5000 year history, certainly not inferior compared to athens, and expect that to be on show next year. the preparations they have made for the olympics, THREE BILLION DOLLARS WORTH, certainly makes me think that beijing will blow everyone's expectations away.

Since the ATHENS OLYMPICS ,nobody can make any better olympics!it's not possible!!!just wish to do good enough games!don't expect the miracle of greece!this WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

in deed they did!

i don't thing so!the ancient spartans,and mynoans,and odysseus,and the argonauts,travel all over the earth,before anybody else did!

huh.. learn your world history first b4 u start saying things u dun know about. Right up until the 19th century, China was still the richest nation in the world with 40% of the world's gdp.. it was only during the 19th century that they started declining.. now they are reemerging..

China Allways was poor and now the after 100 or less years ...came and started to call them self a world leader's .You can think that you are leader's but the world or west will never call you a leaders.

YOUR ANSWER IS OUT OF TOPIC.

I wonder how c0ol would be someone watching porn in the office. idiot.

Smukai2: You keep mentioning censoring the internet. I'm reading this on Youtube in China and responding.....

If you work for a respectable company in the U.S. and try to access some pornography or Neo-Nazi crap on the company laptop, see if you'll be stopped. (Maybe fired?) So, what's the difference?

You talk very much banzadawain you make me talk like a bot...

Message to China:
-leave tibet to tibetans , china to chineses, Taiwan to Taiwanese.
-Stop Support of Darfur Bloody Government.
-Stop censoring your internet, Allow freedom of speech.

Smukai2: It's like a bunch of Europeans going back to Africa to preach to locals about the evils of Colonialism.

Smukai2: I'm NOT Anti-Western or want to stir up anti-foreign sentiments, but let's keep these things in perspective, shall we?

Those things I mentioned are still in the memory of our grandparents' generation.

Smukai2: These Westerners are descendants of those who came to China to kill, R**e , pillage, and colonize not so long ago.

* Western colonizers setting up legations and treaty ports on Chinese territory and
levying Chinese custom taxes.

* Western colonizers shooting dead Chinese workers protesting bad working conditions.

* Western troops seiging and sacking China's capital Beijing in 1900, burning down the Old Summer Palace (Yuan Ming Yuan).

Etc.

Smukai2: Actually, a lot of Chinese people are just sick and tired of those Western HYPOCRITES giving lectures to China on human rights this and that.

Smukai2: Chinese merchant ships were sailing to Africa long before Europeans discovered the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Admiral Zheng He's expeditions made it to Madagascar before getting stopped by a storm. If not, he may have made it to Europe?

The chinese didn't had black slaves cause they didn't know about Africa. BTW I know chinese and they say that black people is stupid.
