Well I have a newsflash for you all. There are people in this world who want to kill you for no other reason than being an American and they will trick you into a false sense of security so they can do exactly that.

Don't bring liberal vs conservatives into this. I agree with you that those people exist, I just don't believe they are everywhere as you seem to believe. Also, to compare China and the Middle East is completely off. The Chinese people in general seem to like America and its culture. Have you seen their reaction to the US team in the opening ceremony? I'm watching the USA vs China men's basketball game right now, and there's just as many ooh and ahs for the American team as their is for the Chinese team, doesn't seem like a country full of people bent on hating you coz you're American... having a few crazies doesn't change this.

And if we had a little more of that "outdated prejudice" nowadays we wouldn't have had a plane hijacked and crashed into two buildings, a subway blown up, a number of people kidnapped and decapitated, or the number of other terrorist attacks that have been committed over recent years.

I agree that just living in a place doesn't mean you know everything about it. However, the same can be said for working in military intelligence. If anything, we may see different aspects of China that predisposes us to forming certain opinions. Let's just put this to rest, I don't want to clutter up an olympics thread with this.

On topic: my goodness, in the 2nd quarter the game is tied... China is living off of 3s, I wonder when they'll stop falling.

I'm rooting for China, but they don't have much of a chance.

I'm sorry man, I didn't know that you guys weren't getting "live" coverage.. Yeah, I'm not trying to spoil the Olympics for anyone

articdragon192 · 08-10-2008, 10:47 PM

Yeah, gymnastics is on right now. America is making mistakes that's making them look subpar to the Chinese. But luckily it's only qualifying.

Yeah, it only means they have to go before China.

But its still not a good sign of things to come.

articdragon192 · 08-10-2008, 11:59 PM

I'm sure they'll bounce back. For acting like than and still doing pretty well, imagine if they got on their game.

90hatchie · 08-11-2008, 12:11 AM

i tossed it on for a few min thinking it would be boring and holy fuck those girls were young and in olympics

IdriveaNissan · 08-11-2008, 01:05 AM

I recorded whole game china vs usa. i wouldn't mind sharing with my fellow americans but it's kinda a huge file. i recorded via computer tv tuner so it isnt exactly hd material but good enough.

ALTRNTV · 08-11-2008, 01:26 AM

The French are assholes. lmao
I'm glad the US shut them up
after that comment made about
them smashing the Americans.

BOROSUN · 08-11-2008, 01:33 AM

So who watched when Phelps got his gold medal? I think it was on NBC in the states on Saturday night. They totally fucked up the US anthem. Started too early, was way off, I think they even replayed part of it, and then they didn't finish and cut off the "home of the brave" part. That was a low one.

I watched that game. I heard a lot of boos for USA every time they were trying to score. China was really good at the beginning with their three pointers but couldn't keep up later on the game. Really good defense for the US team, a lot of blocks and steals. Let's hope they live up to their name as "The Redeem Team."

Those Chinese girls don't even look 16, there's a rumor going around that the Chinese govt. did some work on their background. Then again, the majority of Asian girls look younger than they really are. They're pretty solid in their performances, really good.

I don't know what the big deal is about the ages. Older girls like in the 20 year old range usually seem to do the best. If you get beat by a 14 year old then you need to go train some more. It's not like 14-16 year olds have some magical advantage over someone of older age.

Through older age you would think would come more experience and better preperation.

drifter101 · 08-11-2008, 11:32 AM

The 14 year olds have an advantage in that they can fling themselves like ragdolls, very light, nimble, and flexible. Plus the chinese train these girls from the age of like 6 or something, so eight years of training could do alot.

240_hero13 · 08-11-2008, 12:16 PM

Does anyone know....

when and what times the Table tennis starts?

And what channel in soCal.?
