For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Tibet.
Does the violence there concern you? Should this impact our most-favored nation trading status with China? How does this change the upcoming Olympics? Do you think America should consider boycotting the games, or is this not serious enough yet for such a measure?
Are you paying much attention to events there? Do you feel media are covering this enough and fairly? Or, has this been lost in all the election focus?

Too much money
March 20, 2008 - 16:07 ET by BeanManThere is too much money involved in the Olympics. There is so much investment in China that no one will do anything to rock China's financial boat in case they decide to take state ownership of things again and knock a few heads at the same time. However since there is so much money involved China wouldn't do anything to upset the boat either.
Everyone will just hope that by August it will have blown over and we can just pretend that everything is hunky dory.
There was more outrage in Atlanta when they bussed the homeless out of town for two weeks for the Olympics than there seems to be with killing a few hundred people in Tibet.

The U.S. is hated all over

From today's Cleveland
March 20, 2008 - 10:23 ET by IgnatzJFahrquarFrom today's Cleveland "Plain Deceiver" a mixed bag column:
http://www.cleveland...
And my email to Mr. Morris:
"Good morning Mr. Morris.
I'm an occasional reader of your column as I try to keep an informed mind on current events. I feel taking in the opinions of others is a great way to broaden my perspective whether I agree with the opinions or not. I do have a question about your column.
Can you please explain to me exactly what are "the nefarious ways of white folks"? Considering the context of the column, I can fathom that the nefarious ways of SOME white folks would be along the lines of being an ignorant, hate mongering racist. To lump ALL "white folks" as having these racist nefarious ways would be like saying that ALL African American preachers sermonize anti-American rhetoric. While I have never attended the services conducted by an African American preacher I simply refuse to think that ALL would espouse these beliefs.
I suppose that it could be said that these were the thoughts of "Beatrice" but, her name is not on the column.
Thank you for your time,"
We'll see what comes back.

Maybe the decision to boycott
March 20, 2008 - 10:25 ET by sarcasmoShould be made by individual athletes, instead of their nations' politicians. I wonder if China would allow athletes to wear something like a plain black armband, for example. The level of attempted speech control by China would strongly influence my decision to go, if I were an Olympic athlete considering it.

Gratuitous Catholic-bashing on The Daily Show
March 20, 2008 - 10:29 ET by Tim GrahamFrom The Daily Show on Comedy Central, comic fake reporter Jason Jones filed a report on Monday's St. Patrick's Day parade, joking that Eliot Spitzer has a friend in the kiddie-abusing church:
“Here, the Catholic Church is showing their support for the governor. This is an organization that knows a little something about sex scandals. [Waving at Cardinal Egan from a distance] All due respect!”

March 20, 2008 - 10:59 ET by iveseenitallOh, it's true, alright. Just as a thousand other things are true. Problem is that the MSM has made a fortune poking fun at the imperfections of mankind. And they've done it in a disrespectful manner. Today's young people don't know the difference between satire and hatred. Most of today's "comedy" is meant to hurt someone and give "laughs" to the few at the expense of the many. It's divisive and meant to be so. Sad. Too bad so many people are too blind to see what's happening.

That would probably be more likely than any world gov't explicitly removing themselves from the competition, as money talks loudest.

SEAL To Receive Medal Of Honor For Iraq Heroism
By Gidget Fuentes, Staff writer
SAN DIEGO — A California-based SEAL who threw his body on a grenade to save his comrades in Iraq will posthumously receive the Medal of Honor, a Defense Department official has confirmed.
Master-at-Arms 2nd Class (SEAL) Michael A. Monsoor, of Garden Grove, Calif., was holed up on the roof of a Ramadi house with three other SEALs on Sept. 29, 2006, when an insurgent grenade landed nearby.
Monsoor, a 25-year old with SEAL Team 3, grabbed the grenade and clutched it to his chest. The blast killed him, but his actions, officials said at the time, saved the men on the rooftop.
Monsoor will be the second member of the Navy to receive the Medal of Honor since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, and the first sailor to receive it for combat in Iraq.

He's the Republican that Dems can tolerate, and I think that once a nominee is chosen, a large chunk of the supporters of the loser will either not vote, or vote for McCain or Nader in the hopes that their candidate will get another shot in 2012.

A Lesson in Racism
March 20, 2008 - 13:16 ET by ricklailMy 13 year old grandson got a little lesson about racism on Tuesday. One of the black girls in his class told him she did not want to go to the high school for the charter school they attended because there were too many whites.
He told her that he didn't want to go to the public high school because there were too many blacks. She called him a racist. He told her she was a racist. She informed him that blacks could not be racists.
His day got a little better. His school played and beat Dale Jarrett's son's school in baseball. He got to shake Dale Jarrett's hand.

First thing I've heard her say that I will accept as truth without references, lol. If she is admitting this, one has to wonder how widespread it really must be. Of a certainty, she's not referring to a Reagan democrat.
One thing I've noticed about Susan over the years is she is most truthful and unbiased when she perceives her liberal collegues are going to lose. Note her opinion may, and probably will, change over the next day, or week, but when she wrote this column, she was facing up to defeat in the fall.

I really like Susan. Yeah, she can be a Tina Fey. But, this is a very astute woman who when on her game and not stumping says it like very few on her side of the aisle. And, with her, it's not just because of her affiliation with FNC, for I liked her when she was an MSNBC regular.

As for FNC contributors, they offend me as often as they cheer me, and I think that is as it should be, since I recognize that I have a definite right-side slant in my belief system. They are what I request and respect in a news organization - in the middle, allowing both sides to talk, but generally not allowing them to preach. As for Alan, I think he needs to be as far off-center as he is, because Sean tends to be over-powering. It's that same old teeter-totter principle.

Great Cartoon About You
March 20, 2008 - 16:49 ET by LeonThe NBs have been acting bizarre over the past few days. Letting their hostility towards black Americans shine free.
You all keep acting as if it's outrageous that SOME black people might be angry about how they've been treated in America.
Well, since you seem to be hard at comprehending simple ideas, maybe a cartoon will help.
This is YOU

You're seeming a little duplicitous today.

Ha Ok Cool. Whatever that

Whatever that means tiger.

March 20, 2008 - 17:00 ET by Cool ArrowIf you can't see the parallel between the Klan and the Rev. Wright's beliefs, you are choosing duplicity.

Cool, That comparison
March 20, 2008 - 17:02 ET by LeonCool,
That comparison isn't made in the cartoon so I'm not sure why you'd make the comment.
The parallel between Wright and the Klan is entirely irrelevant to this cartoon.

March 20, 2008 - 17:09 ET by Cool ArrowYour inability to defend your beliefs is more comical than any cartoon you can dig up.
But I'm glad you acknowledge the parallel between Wright and the Klan

Little Hater's talking
March 20, 2008 - 18:51 ET by Roger the ShrubberLittle Hater's talking points do not cover your statements, Cool, so you will forgive him if he cannot answer you.
Talk about bizarre Leon..
March 20, 2008 - 16:58 ET by KarmaI enslaved someone?
I am a member of the KKK?
I don't share water from the same fountain?
I am a police dog nipping at a suspect?
I lynched someone?
I used my weather machine to flood New Orleans?
I'm bald?
Karma, Never said that
March 20, 2008 - 17:00 ET by LeonKarma,
Never said that (although depending on your age you might be).
You're the moron on the couch who can't figure out why some black Americans might be a bit angry at some of the things that have happened to them.
Wow. Maybe even a cartoon isn't simple enough for you all to understand.
»→ A bit angry
March 20, 2008 - 17:05 ET by Cool ArrowAccusing me of infecting his race with the AIDS virus is well beyond "a bit angry"
But you are certainly staying in character.
