Why apologize for your health concerns???

Red China is a socialist country that has few concerns for humanity itself...

Hey, USAmerican, no concerns for humanity? Look at the government's reaction after the earthquake. Look at your own governments reaction after Katrina.

Please display some class brother. We need them as much as they need us. Instead of labeling a country this or a country that, understand that what makes us different also makes us unique.

I understand you should be nationalistic. But more importantly, don't be so foolish as to believe our country is all innocent. If that were the case, then you would be no different than the ones you call "them".

Peace to you

Oh boy here we go....bowing down and begging for forgiveness so we can play games with China.It was a mistake to send our athletes to China to start with and now the Chinese government will do all they can to make sure US athletes are humiliated as much as possible during these games.

China tortures and kills its people,we shouldnt be over there pretending all is well while we play these little head games with China.

Why apologise?

Your health is of utmost importance here.

Do you think the chinese gov't will take care of your bills if you get sick?

Not a chance..........so wear your mask and take good care of your health.

I said 'few' concerns ... Red China time and time again dispays its will to accomplish what is best for the ruling family ... not the billion+ citizens... God helps US if they decide to simply over whelm us by shear numbers...

BTW, China will soon be using every drop of oil that is produced by current facilities.

U think that might cause a war ???

after watching channel 2 news here in GA, i was baffled when they mentioned that the Mayor requested that the restaurants take "dog meat" off of their menus. makes me think about the restaurants here in America...

When you can't see the tops of sky scrapers due to the smog, I think it is the Chinese government who should be apologizing. Our bicyclists need better masks, not to issue apologies.....

What will China do when athletes start keeling over because the air is toxic? This Olypmics, which I won't be watching, is an outright joke. That China, a repressive communist regime is a host country is a travesty. Who next, Iran? Sudan? Chad? Libya?
