   Comments: Athletes are more than raw meat, they have brains and they are role models for millions. If the host countries can blatantly use the Olympics for their own political purposes, then so can the athletes be allowed the free exersize of their individuality and their moral consciousness.

    Comments: Athletes are human- beings with all the rights that must be respected. It does not lie in the power of any one to attempt to take from their inalianable rights more so when that attempt clearly points to serving desperate positions..

    Comments: Keeping silent on human rights violations is almost as criminal as violating the human rights. Give people a voice and speak out. It is a global right, also in China.
