IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WIIL COME TO CHINA FOR THE OLYMPIC GAME?

[ADAARDIS]

As a volunteer of the 29th Olympic Game that will be held in Beijing soon,I gave up my summer holiday and have been working in the Olympic village since 20th this month.Every day,we work really hard to prepare well for the coming of the big event,and I'm wondering if anyone here will come to Beijing.

[GOP_Proud]

Not me. I can’t support it. I won’t support it. It should never have been allowed.

[Tainan]

Not I. We have direct flights over form Taiwan now...but I'll be missing the Games.

Have fun and be safe!

[ConservativeMind]

I hope you had fun skimming the algae from the ocean.

[Bahbah]

Tell us a little bit about how things are going and how life in the village is.

[varyouga]

For free and for a short time maybe. I’m very sensitive to pollution so I don’t think I’d survive in China too long. I have a tough time in NYC.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Hey, check this guy out!

[bmwcyle]

I might not even watch it on TV.

[Thommas]

Nope.

[wolfcreek]

From her about page:

“OK,as you can see,I’m a Chinese girl very intereited in America and other countries.Please show me that most of you are friendly,will you?

PS:I do hope to make friends here.

**En,I want to say:I like black guys,I mean they are handsome and charming,really.**”

Somebodies on the wrong site.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Correction: Check this ChiCom girl out. This is pretty pathetic!

[wolfcreek]

We should ask her to post pixs. LOL!

[The SISU kid]

Not-A-Ping?????

[DieHard the Hunter]

> Somebodies on the wrong site.

Maybe she’s on the right site, but living in the wrong country. Perhaps she’d like to defect?

It can’t be much fun being a ChiCom.

Hey, Adaardis: do they let you use the Internet in ChiCom? Have you ever considered defecting to the West?

[Hot Tabasco]

We should ask her to post pixs. LOL!

I already met her on an international dating site and she's a real hottie. We're getting married next year but for now, I had to send her some money to buy medicine for her sick mother.........

[JDoutrider]

Not on your life!

[RoadKingSE]

Not even going to waste time watching it on TV.

[bigcat32]

I don’t plan to visit and I don’t plan to watch it on tv.

[Slings and Arrows]

I, unfortunately, cannot come, but in my place will be sending 250,000 of my closest friends. They'll be easy to recognize as they all tend to favor Kevlar clothing in a camouflage pattern. No need to worry about accommodating them; they will be bringing their own land, sea, and air transportation, supply trains, and fireworks. Lots and lots of fireworks.

[nonliberal]

Isn’t FR a subversive site. Better not let the thugs in charge of your country see your hard drive. You just may end up run over by a tank or getting clubbed like a baby seal.

[Allegra]

They'll be easy to recognize as they all tend to favor Kevlar clothing in a camouflage pattern. No need to worry about accommodating them; they will be bringing their own land, sea, and air transportation, supply trains, and fireworks. Lots and lots of fireworks.

Wow! That sounds just like home! ;-)

[Bahbah]

LOL.

[wolfcreek]

I hope you realize she only likes black dudes.

[indylindy]

We get our fill of China when we go shopping. But you fare well and tell us about it.

[Slings and Arrows]

No so much sand, though.

[Squawk 8888]

As a lifelong Toronto resident I’ll be laughing at the fiasco. They should’ve held the games here but the Chinese are more talented at bribing IOC delegates than Canadians are.

[philly-d-kidder]

Mei Wan ti!!! Momentai!!! No Problem...
everytime I went to Beijing in the 1990’s 6 weeks later I would have the deepest chest cold from that Fine Sand from the Gobi desert!! Rhis is sandstorm season how do they stop that??
Cheers

[ktscarlett66]

I would if I could,so I could see our Olympians represent our country and do their best. It would be a proud moment for me no matter where it was held. And I’d love to show my support for these people who have spent so much of their life training for a chance to represent us. I would love the chance to meet people from all over the world, I’d imagine that that many people all gathered for one common cause would be pretty awesome indeed. The best of the best, gathered in one place.

[Squawk 8888]

In Canada we have a good setup- the games are being televised on the government-run CBC which means that nobody has to worry about their favourite shows getting pre-empted (nobody watches CBC).

[SMARTY]

Two people of my personal acquaintance are in the hospital now (one is dying) and have traveled to China within the last 3 years.

Some serious respiratory contagion is going on. They are NOT allowed visitors.

[NavyCanDo]

If the airfair was free, if I had free event tickets, if I had a free place to stay, and free transportation - the answer is still NO.

[mad_as_he$$]

I have been to Chi-com land before. You could not get me there again on a bet. It stinks and it sucks. It is clear the fix is in for the Chinese to win a significant number of medals. All activities at these games should go into history with an asterisk after them for many reasons.

[Ditter]

No I am not coming and I won’t watch it on TV.

[caver]

Is this the start of more posters with poor English like we had a month or so ago?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

GREAT tag line! Love it.

[Allegra]

Tsai lai eeping pidjio. ;-)

[Hyzenthlay]

I lack both the money and the passport to go, but I’ll watch on TV. As it turns out, I know someone who’s going to be competing, so that definitely trumps any ideas I had of boycotting it on TV.

[moose2004]

I don’t like severe air pollution, so no, none of my family is coming, in fact I don’t know anyone who is going.

[woollyone]

>>>Two people of my personal acquaintance are in the hospital now (one is dying) and have traveled to China within the last 3 years.

The implication being that the contagion was acquired in China?

[jmc813]

Correction: Check this ChiCom girl out. This is pretty pathetic!

You know, I enjoy hunting ChiCom trolls as much as anyone, but I'm getting a little sick of freepers busting on anyone from China who joins up here. Why can't people just assume that someone comes here in good faith until proven otherwise?

ADAARDIS, I apologize on behalf of some of the overly sensitive posters here. The majority of us hate your government but like your people.

[jmc813]

I hope you realize she only likes black dudes.

I once had a blind girlfriend who thought I was black. :-)

[MeekOneGOP]

My wife is (mainland) Chinese, from Shenyang. Not sure if
any of her family or friends might be going to the Olympics
in Beijing.

She is at work right now, but I'll hafta ask her later on. :)

In the meantime, here is a pic of the two of us at the
Texas State Fair October 12th, 2004:

[MeekOneGOP]

Beautiful downtown Beijing ...

[Slings and Arrows]

Take a look over at http://mine.icanhascheezburger.com/default.aspx?tiid=481113#step2 - doesn’t the dog in that pic belong to one of your crowd? (Shotgun pinging done because I can’t remember which of you owns the dog.)

[Malacoda]

Not just no, but Hell, no. I’m not even watching the games on TV.

[xp38]

There are no favorite shows that would be missed on NBC these days either. That said I enter a lot of promotional contests but I balked at one earlier this year where the grand prize was an Olympic trip to Beijing. I avoid those where the prize is of no use to me.

[Xenalyte]

Nope. Haven’t given a damn about the Olympics since 1980.

[indcons]

Hi ADAARDIS,

Good to hear that you are volunteering for the Genocide Olympics 2008. The millions of “undesirables” that the ChiComs are exterminating in the name of “protecting their image” must be surely thanking foot soldiers, like you, for swallowing the party line - hook, line, and sinker. /sarc

Even if I could go to the Olympics, I would never think of such a thing. These Olympics are a shame considering the regime that’s hosting them and the fact that your masters, the ChiComs, are muzzling all dissent and protests goes against everything I believe in.

I hope all thinking and freedom-loving people will boycott these Olympics (even on TV) and your country as long as the current set of maniacs remain in power.

I would LOVE to visit mainland China someday (I have visited the Republic of China AKA Taiwan) but am not going to do so until the good people of China get rid of the bloodthirsty rulers who constitute your current regime.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Why can't people just assume that someone comes here in good faith until proven otherwise?

Because you know as well as I do that 99% of the new sign-ups this year have been ChiCom plants trying to subvert public opinion. It's organized by the PRC government and well funded, with up to 280,000 operatives.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Is this the start of more posters with poor English like we had a month or so ago?

A lot of mainland Chinese logged on to sites like this after the Sichuan earthquake to share their experiences related to the event.

There were some exceptions, but far too many FReepers welcomed them with spit and insults, much like we're seeing on this thread.

Knee-jerk rudeness is easy; giving a visitor the benefit of the doubt until we have good reason to believe otherwise is hard.
