As predicted, the Olympic's have caused conflict already.

One of the parents of the American volleyball coach was killed, the mother and their tour guide were almost killed as well, then the murderer leapt to death off a building...wow.

President George W. Bush, in the Chinese capital for the games, expressed sadness

...I don't even know how to respond to that.

[MasterKeyX]

Are you serious? Man, that's messed up... I'd really liek it if this Olympics wasn't so screwed up, you know?

Wouldn't be good for world relations.

[HylianHero92]

Thats awful!! And here I was thinking the Olympics was all about the gathering of nations and World Peace!!!

Not in China, apparently. They're more about blocking off freedoms of speech, press, etc, as well as curbing any type of political protest (IE: Free Tibet).

They even have 300,000 security cameras over there for the games, so everyone can be spied on, even in hotels!

[MasterKeyX]

I actually think China was a very bad place for the Olympics. I have a feeling something nasty could happen involving the government.

[Hi no Seijin]

So, yeah, the American Beach Volleyball team was defeating the Japanese team.  That's for not sharing everything with us, Japan!

[MasterKeyX]

Also, a US Olympic swimmer won a gold medal. Apparently, he was ahead of all the other racers by alot. He even shattered his own record!

[DW]

That would be Phelps. Yeah, he's shaping up to be the biggest medal winner ever.

[darkphantomime]

This is ridiculous Chinese fans drilled like soldiers to provide 'atmosphere'

That is just so wrong in too many ways.

[alical]

I am a bit of an olympic fan.

My highlight was watching Togo (I mentioned the country in the places i want to go topic) winning their first EVER olympic medal.
It was amazing, I can't think what the sport is called but its canoeing down rapids through checkpoints. The guy was so happy he broke his paddle in half ^^.
