in Beijing, china, they are starting this years Olympics with all of the sports you can think of, although there is a price. Thousands right now are are homeless because of the Olympics, they have been tearing down homes one by one to make room for this years Olympics. To make it worse about 3/5 people don't even have insurance!!! do you think the Olympics should be canceled? (I do)

i dont think they should stop it. they should of never choose china in the first place. China is a socialist country where the gov. controls all. So y should the olympics be there. The olympics let anyone with skill in from anywhere and any sport they want. And China gov. is againest that by being a socialist(communist)country

But why don't you just sell it to China and they can work on it rather then we finish it. They could finish it while we go somewhere else.

Yeah, The Metal Grunt brought up a great point. Millions of dollars have been spent on construction, advertising, and I'm sure many people that are participating would want to go to China. Also if you had bad insurance, it has nothing to do with it. There isn't an insurance that covers ticket refunds.

No, the Olympics isn't wrong. It's a great way to bring all world cultures together temporarily so they can compete in sporting events together.

They are not celebrating, they are competing in sports. If you think that they are celebrating, then tell me three things they celebrate.

The Olympics should be held by an honary country. not China they are not fit for the Job. So i think there shouldnt be any Olympic Games this year

Yes, I agree with nocookie, we should go someplace else were it is more honary. A country like Spain or India.
