I'm sorry, but in what position does BUSH have to tell the people in China or the person who leads China what to do?

Being cummunist is prolly a good way to lead this many people. Try asking what Bush can do when his country is filled with people like China. He be shitting bricks, it be chaos in US.

the opening ceremony was crazy

My girlfriend and I caught bits and pieces of it from the bar when we went out last night. Looked pretty sick from the couple of moments we saw, wish I could've seen the whole thing.

are you guys serious that no network bothered to show it live in US?
they screwed around with the swimming schedule just to suit US timeslots but no-one actually cares enough to make it worth showing live anyway?

Are you talking about the opening ceremony? I live on the west coast of the states and Beijing is 15 hours ahead of us. I assume the ceremony took place at around 8PM, which would've meant it would be aired live here at 5AM. You'll get a far greater number of viewers if you show it pre-recorded at 8PM than live at 5AM.

Simple.

then show it twice? seems amazing that a market as big as that gets such crap coverage.

then again maybe we're just spoilt in our sports coverage here, we get better EPL cover that they do in england, even if the games kick off at 1am for most of the season.

Waste of money. Nobody's going to wake up on a Friday morning at 5AM just to watch the opening ceremony. Most people are either asleep or just waking up and heading off to work at that hour.

Anyone have video of the 2008 drummers? Can't find it on Youtube

Yes, how stupid of me to think the leader of a world power should speak to the state of human rights.

How stupid of me to think the leader of a democracy would have something to say about political prisioners.

This is basic world politics.

And, I'm sorry - did you just endear communism? Based on what, the size of a country's population? What is the exact number of people required for communism to become the most effective form of government?

There is nothing wrong with communism.
