I'm wondering if all the people that call for the Chinese Olympics to be boycotted have removed all products from their home that were made in China ie Apple phones Nike shoes children's clothing toys etc etc
-
I have.
I won’t ever have products that are American made if the source material is from China.
I own several products made in Vietnam.

Do you own a pair of sneakers tshirts or underwear Were they all made in Vietnam?
-
Everything I own is made in the USA. Even my China in my China cabinet is made in Alabama.
Now fuck off troll, lol

My sneakers are American made, SAS, San Antonio Shoemakers. I generally don’t wear underpants, unless I need compression shorts for the gym (which are Vietnamese made).
-
I’m boycotting the olympics. Unfortunately everything is made in China so that’s that.

Not sure what your point is, I know you haven't or any liberal for that matter and anyone that says they have are either lying or don't know. I can guarantee there isn't one person in this country that doesn't have anything from China on their person or in their home. That being said, your "ah ha" question doesn't fly
-
This "diplomatic boycott" nonsense is weak sauce. Either grow some balls and do a real full boycott or fuck off.

the Olympic athletes from around the world who have worked very hard most of their lives to get to this competition should not have attended the games because they were in China but it's okay for you to buy products made in China because it benefits your lifestyle

I think India who is also "diplomatic boycotting" boycotted the Opening ceremonies by not broadcasting them in India (or not the part where India walked out). Anyone know?

Who says anyone is still buying? I stopped buying things I know were Chinese made years ago and there’s somethings you just can’t help. Xi should be taken out and those athletes imo shouldn’t have went. Yes, boycott the fuck of it. We were heading to everything American made until the communist sympathizer was installed, now we don’t have a choice even if we wanted it.
Anyone with an ounce of patriotism should have pull out

I don't know about that but America was energy independent under Trump

Yep, and now Biden is begging

Why exactly is this "boycott" asked for?
If it is about some human rights, look no further than for example the torture and abuse in US prison system,like solitary confinement for decades, beating and slave labour.
If the boycott was about them giving the world coronavirus, I'd understand.

Prisoner rights are a good example of the divide in the country.
Obviously prisoners should be treated humanely but where is the line drawn with those who can’t be reintroduced into society?
What is the goal of prison? Is it punishment or is it for reform? What is the responsibility of the prison to the prisoners? Should all prisoners be treated equally and if not what type of prisoner should be considered dangerous or off limits?
Is the whole system broken or does it need to be adjusted?
What country provides a good example of how prisons should be run?

another classic ccp-biden meme :D

US athletes worked for 4 years while dreaming about an olympic medal then politics come to put an end to their dream and traumatize them.
Sports were made to bring people together and make peace but the US doesn't seem to care about this.
Keep politics out of sports

It's the athletes who bring politics into it and that's why so many fans have lost interest.

The Olympics should transcend politics.
The 1980 U.S. Olympic boycott by Jimmy Carter was very stupid.

true, they should just shut up and play the game. if you ever watch charles barkley and shaq o'neal on pregame coverage of nba basketball. barkley likes to run his mouth on everything and anything. when it comes to anything political or controversial. shaq becomes non existent in the conversation. reason he doesn't want to alienate any of his sponsors. barkley just doesn't care.

Barkley is a Black conservative isn't he?

So much promise...and now look at him, a lying piece of shite.
A guy I went to high school turned out the same way.
He was a good guy in high school, went to law school, had a successful practice, got into politics, became a piece of shite.

Pretty impossible to remove chinas presence from our lives. But I will continue to vote for those that oppose china. That’s the best I can do, that and not watch that fuqing sheet show
-
I only wear and use products that are made in North Korea. They are far superior to Chinese imports.

Politics in the olympics isn’t a new thing
-
Why anyone still watches let alone supports this clown festival called olympics, is the real question. The fact that it is being held in commie country is just the icing on the cake...
-
The Olympics is a rigged competition with drugged up athletes. So why isn’t bodybuilding included?

Shaq spoke out against vaccine mandates recently:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/shaquille-o-e2-80-99neal-says-covid-19-vaccines-should-not-be-forced/ar-AATslsa
Maybe on the basketball show he just likes to talk basketball and not get into tangential political issues.
I would guess there are quite a few Conservatives in the NBA. As my grandma used to say, everyone's liberal until they make some money.

You must not own anything.

Yes, I prefer my fascist overlords to have round eyes, not squinty ones. When I choose to support a company that will cut every corner they can for the sake of their short term profit, I demand that it's an American company that's fucking me over goddamnit!

https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/07/china/eileen-gu-olympics-foreign-athletes-mic-intl-hnk/index.html (https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/07/china/eileen-gu-olympics-foreign-athletes-mic-intl-hnk/index.html)
Freestyle skier Eileen Gu's rise to the top has been meteoric -- and her popularity in China has exploded in the lead-up to the Games. "Snow princess Gu Ailing set to shine at home Olympics," read one headline in state-run media Xinhua, referring to Gu by her Chinese name.
But Gu, 18, has another home: the United States, where she was born to a Chinese mother and American father, and where she first discovered her love for the sport. In 2015, just a few months after she reached her first World Cup podium, the San Francisco native announced she was switching to compete for China instead of the US -- a controversial decision that thrust her firmly into the spotlight.
Not my type, and not a Getbigger dateable 11, but looks hittable.

For some reason I thought these fellas (the Chinese Gov't) harvested those fellas (the irredeemable convicts) organs when their 'matches' came up? Which I always thought was a pretty practical - albeit super-cold-blooded - way of them paying something back to society... Or did I misunderstand youand you mean how do we decide who can never be released? Actually, as I typed this I think you meant the second one, so maybe ignore this garbage altogether, sorry :P

Actually that is an interesting idea. I wonder if people would decline organs from notorious criminals?
But again how is this decision made? In the US each state controls it's own prison. Some states have death sentences and most don't.
I've heard many, from LE to psychologists, say the punishment wont deter the sociopathic criminal behavior because it's a "hardwired" personality, they commit the crimes (and i'm talking murders) because they think they wont or cant get caught, and this is why the death penalty is not effective.
But I'd argue that the death penalty is not to deter violent crimes but rather to eliminate individuals who can not live in society (without committing the acts).

Wealthy Saudis love the halal Uighur organs. The Uighurs are Muslim so they don't consume pork or alcohol.

I have.
I won’t ever have products that are American made if the source material is from China.
I own several products made in Vietnam.
That's a great idea, Dave D! I stopped buying anything Made in China in March of 2020.
I made an exception for this cellphone I am typing on now, last August.
But otherwise, I'm done with Chinese made goods.
I didn't even think of Vietnam, lol. Cheap Asian alternative. Nice!
I think it's time to move our major production to India, or elsewhere in Asia. It would still be cheap, and we won't be supporting a
nuclear totalitarian regime.

Would you rather free USA be the global superpower, or Communist China? Be careful what you wish for.

USA is not "free", Matt Cawk. And China will not be the ruler.

Correct on the USA...but we can say the USA is the FREEST.
You don't think China would be the ruler?
With the way the USA is falling and China is rising, I'm not sure anymore. A friend of mine said it will take 80 years. I hope it's at least that long.
