Leaders of the G-7 counties

Description:

When China was awarded the 2008 games, the international community expected that this opportunity would help improve China's human rights record. Despite rallying cries around the world, China continues its harsh crackdown on protesters in Tibet and internal dissent, most recently by imprisoning human rights activist Hu Jia. The leaders of the G-7 countries have a unique opportunity to collectively take a united stand by boycotting the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics.

We the undersigned ask the Leaders of the G-7 countries boycott the Olympic opening ceremonies!

September 11, 2001 four airliners were hijacked two were used as missles to take down the World Trade Centers, and of the remaing two, one crashed into the U.S. Pentagon, and the other was diverted and crashed by the brave passengers who all perished. THOUSANDS of people were killed that day by muslim male extremist.12. 2002 The US. fought a war in Afghanistan against muslim male extremist.13. 2002 Reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murderd by you quessed it muslim male extremist.No I really dont see a pattern here to justify fear and profiling do you!?!?!So to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on kiliing us our children, family, they dont care if your a Democrat or Republcan!!! Airport Screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people Absolutely No Profiling!!! They must conduct random searchers of 80 year old woman, little kids, 85year old Congressmen with metal hips,and Medal Of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss. Think about it the next time you or a loved on gets on a plane! But leave Muslim Males between the ages of 17 and 40 alone lest we be guilty of profiling! History has a strange way of repeating itself, Wouldnt you say? And now for the award winning act of stupidity of all times the people want to elect to the most powerful position on the face of the planet The President Of The United States Of America!!! A MUSLIM MALE EXTREMIST BETWEEN THE AGE OF 17 and 40!!! Something for the Obamabots to "think" about: OBAMA – LIAR, LIAR: 1.) Selma Got Me Born - LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - LIAR, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more.http://biz.yahoo.com/ibd/080115/issues.html?.v=1Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth. 5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - LIAR, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml?Barack_Hussein_ Obama_-_Arab-American,_only_6.25%25_African7.) I Never Practiced Islam - LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.4-3-08 Article "Obama was 'quite religious in islam'" http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.vie....) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - LIAR, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago:Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says "Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts."9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - LIAR, not one teacher says you could speak the language.10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - LIAR, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - LIAR, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies. 'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11,2001?Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when an over worked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all. I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide .I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:I don't care..When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care !!If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends.Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem' --Ronald Reagan. I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all this.'If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.' Also by. Ronald Reagan One last thought for the day:In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said: 'A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many wantin...and how many want out.'The last thing, by the way, that we should do is to elect a muslim as President of the United States, someone who claims to love America yet,WILL NOT salute the flag, WILL NOT pledge allegiance to our flag, and sat in a church listening to a 'pastor' that HATES America! Are you Freakin' kidding me?Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ 2. The American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN!

BOYCOTT IS A RELEVANT MEANING.
HOW CAN YOU BOYCOTT CHINA WHEN ACTIVISTS IN ACTION WEAR,USE AND CONSUMING THINGS "MADE IN CHINA"?
FIRST GET RID OF EVERYTHING "MADE IN CHINA"AT HOME AND BE AMAZED BEING LEFT WITH A HALF EMPTY HOUSE,PARTIALLY UNDRESSED ,NO AUDIOVISUAL MEANS AND TOYS,AND THEN TAKE THE STREETS WEARING AND USING "MADE IN EU""MADE IN USA" AT THREE TIMES THE PRICE OF THE CORRESPONDING "MADE IN CHINA".

In times that fall short and lack in virtues and values, under the spectrum of neo-obscurantism [neo-skotadism] in the new era, honour and glory to raise the torch, light of hope in man's struggle to spring out victorious running through the laborious centuries of History.
Honour to our ancestors, glory to us, remembrance for our descendants. The light, the torch undying … immortal point of reference of the ancient spirit.
Beautiful majestic and genuine.

Obviously using the Olympics to get attention to any cause will get the publicity, however, is it really a format to abuse. Lots of young people train very hard to be a part of this global event. It brings us together as one human race on one planet. Seems to me we should be protecting the one thing we all have in common instead of destroying the chance to meet, greet and compete!

You know what? I just find it so funny that in some places outside China, the protesters are called "human rights activists"! Do you know how many innocent people they have killed mercilessly? And do you know those poor and innocent people got killed by the protesters are actually Tibetans? Are you sure you are calling them "human rights activists"?

The truth is the protesters are a small group of terrorists in Tibet, far from representing the will of the Tibetan people. They are against the Chinese government for some stupid reasons I don't know, by hurting other Tibetans who are innocent and enjoy being a part of China. (Have you ever watched the news about what the protesters do in Tibet in China?)

So if misunderstanding cleared now, why don't you tell me what you would do if your were the Chinese government.

I have been a supporter of the idea of socialism and communism (equal opportunity for everyone, the rich helping the poor, doing things for your society etc.) for a long time, but what the Chinese government is doing once again proves that the practice is far from the idea. That is why I agree with the protesters, as it is one of the few ways to really be heard when criticising the way a whole country is run.

"There is nothing wrong with the Olympics. What is wrong is how it was awarded to China. They should be in good standing in the world and China isn't! " On Hearing this ,I'm so angry.If China isn't,why China won in 2000.Every country has the right to compete for the opportunity.From many centuries ago,Tibet was own to China,just like Beijing.Everyone loves their country.Who can say Newyork is not own to America,the same,Tibet is own to China.Though my English is poor,I really want to say some things.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm deeply moved. You are a true friend! I totally agree with what you said, and it's really brilliant! This is just what we need. Thank you! : )

Yes, Tibet, as well as Beijing, Shanghai and a lot of other cities and places, is a part of China, just like New York is a part of the US. This is just somehow the whole point of what a nation means! Does not a nation have its right to keep the its territory integrative? Isn't it a basic right of a nation? If a nation did not have a right like this, how could it be even called a nation? I can't see there is anything wrong about the government to safeguard the country's territorial integrity, which can't be more natural and reasonable. Besides if didn't, it'd be a coward.

What you are doing is waging an unfair war against good international athletes/ambassadors from around the world. Don't you even consider the possibility that this game can reap good results in highlighting the values of democracy that these athletes will represent? And I agree with Rober G that this is an utter ridiculous way to protest. The chinese government has hundreds of embassies, consulates, etc. around the world. I believe there is sufficient avenues for people around the world to express their political contempt of the chinese government but to mar the olympics with politics is utter nonsense! And I'm not even a chinese or even having a chinese friend either.

There is nothing wrong with the Olympics. What is wrong is how it was awarded to China. They should be in good standing in the world and China isn't! I, too, feel Tibet should be helped and put back in it's place and open to the world. China blames everyone else for problems in their country and never take responsiblity for it or try and solve problems. I am 63 years old and have never liked the Chinese government but have nothing against it's citizens or the wonderful people that have come to our country to visit or live. It's the government and that shouldn't be rewarded by giving them the Olympics, especially when you concider the entire idea of the Olympics, allowing the world to compete and it's not suppose to be political. Everything in China becomes political and controlled.

Okay, well first of all, the lighting of the torch is a very symbolic atart to the Olympic games. Getting rid of it would be like getting rid of the song that ice cream trucks have to lure in children. Without it people wouldn't know when the excitment and anticipation begins. Help FREE TIBET!!!! is what i have to say. How is getting rid of the torch going to help. Where's the U.N. at this time?!? The lighting of the torch signifies the gift of light from the sun that (the) God(s) have given us. The torch shouldn't be taken away from the games, but the people of Tibet should be helped.

Trying to snuff out the Olympic torch is a ridiculous way to protest the country that is hosting the games. If you want to protest against China then protest against China, not the Olympic games. Thousands of atheletes have worked hard most of their lives in order to compete and be the best at what they do. Why would you want to want to mar that because of how you feel about a countries' government and its policies. It is the Chinese government and not all of its people that have propegated the issues with Tibet. It seems lately that people have no problem with punishing the innocent to further their views or beliefs which is what the Chinese government is doing so why would you choose to be just like them?
