Looks to me like china won’t meet all there comitments, poor air quality, freedom to report when ever or were ever at he or she’s choice, the world will feel a little of how tibet feels, kept down then kicked while your down, shame on china and those who awarded the 2008 games to them, mistake’s are ok aslong as we learn from them tho
hey drain
if you can not even spell proper English, don’t even bother with GVO!
just my spelling was wrong, i can live with that,
it can’t be as bad as opening a cargo container at a US port and find twelve dead asians trying to make a better life for themselve’s mean while their country is building a hudge bird nest for the world to marvel over
@ Knights #2:
“hey drain
if you can not even spell proper English, don’t even bother with GVO!”
Since when is proper spelling a prerequisite for GVO posting? Please check your capitalization, punctuation, and double “evens” before you criticize drain’s writing. At least he made a good point, rightly or wrongly.
I am far from perfect in any languages including Enlgish, but at least I speak and write three languages. Lately, I am learning a fourth language.

so whats that got to do with the price of eggs
And i think its spelled English
China says don’t get into politics well how could you are a communist country, there is no poltics its what you say and that is it. You are the one and only that is why you come between man and his God because you think you are, but a cruel and unjust one that bashes in the heads of those who preach love and compassion. May all the Gods make your accountable for your cruelty and your violence on innocent people while you imprision them for their belief in a greater good. China a necessary evil or just an Evil. Please tell those people not to gather in the parking lot to protest they are like sitting ducks.
