Reader comment on:
The Olympic Bible

Submitted by Alice-Sofia Savitsky, Nov 7, 2007 03:19

We, the Greeks, established the Olympian Games to celebrate humanity; now, in what they had degenerated -- in a choice of the communist country, which harvests organs of own subjects for sale and uses the money to sustain the military and research institutions and supresses the freedom of religion even of those who come to compete "in dignity and freedom'? I believe that all medals, which the citizens of so-called "free democratic countries" will bring from China are the sighs of disgrace, not sport or any other honor. And I am just wonderng, what else our "free" Americans with all their yelling concerning democracy, human rights, etc. would tolerate: pets were poisoned, children toys are poisoned, drugs, food, hygiene items contain poisonous substances, + hackers, spies, sold politicians, trade piracy, what else? Indeed, humankind is degenerating into moral chimeras, animals without dignity, free thinking, morality, and faith...Boycott of the games in communist China should be the only answer to the forbidden Bible.
