uh yes?

Beijing has a pretty terrible record when it comes to pollution and general cleanliness, but they cleaned the city up really well. They instated a ton of regulations and built a park with an artificial mountain and self regulating lake 2x the size of Central Park. Also, Chinese people are some of the most hospitable people in the world--look for them to put on an amazing show.

Noone s pretending to be operating like that 24/7 they've made a public official statement that AUTOMOBILES ( yes u cant use ur car ) are forbidden to use during the olympic games(im pretty sure i heard that over the news i am about 95% sure not fully tho) .They are making absolutely everything they can to prevent any further pollution of the air for the time being.You should give them credit and not whine about it.What the fuck over 30million people are living in Beijing find me a city that big that a clean air.. in fact find me a city above 1mil that has clean air.

I would bet you your life that NYC has cleaner air. I agree with the rest of your statements though.

The air is fucking shit there, complete shit. Do I think they are spending massive amounts of $ to make it awesome, yes I do but will it be amazing, we will see. I think that it won't be the best games ever and I also think that is pretty ridiculous that they have to literally manufacture a reality in beijing to create an atmosphere appealing to the majority. IF they want to make 1st world impressed, maybe they should be awesome to begin with and not become some an idolized version were they force over half the population in the area off the roads, stop industrial companies from business for over half a year and pretend like this is how they operate 24/7, yeah beijing rocks, lolz.

i mean what do you define as good olymipics? the air quality? lets go have the olympics in tanzania then....

This are the olympics with more media coverate, probably with the most money invested and definitelly will be the best opening and closing ever, also they are going to be extremely symbolic for China and Asia, i really dont get why you are negative about them.

I guess I wasn't trying to be overly negative but the original comment had some negativity, where I was going with it was that fact that it is unfortunate that some of the should be participants will not be going because of various health/air risks. The picture and talk about the ceremonies was a joke but the pic is actual footage of volunteers who clearly are tired. If I had to guess I would say that such ceremonies will be spectacular overall but like I said previously I think it will be absolutely packed and hard to get around the actual venues/ease of access will not be as amazing as previous olympics, This isn't a cause of china being highly populated, it is a fact that each games from now on will just be more and more packed and harder to get around due to obvious reasons.

tru there might be some unpleasantries for the people actually there, but for the rest of the world with TVs it'll be pretty sweet
