As we were getting ready to board the commercial flight we were then told and our boarding passes pulled that we could not fly into Beijing as our Visas were for flight crews only and not allowed without us flying our own planes. If this is what Americans can expect in coming to the Olympics in Hassles from Communist China then I urge all Americans to stay home and watch how the Communists are manipulating who comes into China. BOYCOTT NOW as President Busch should also!!!!! MAD AMERICAN-Butch Stevens,Florida” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you think you are, ‘stupid butch’? Good thing that China did not allow you to go in since you are nothing but trouble seeker who just want to find every excuse to bash China. The more you talking nonsense the more shows how stupid you are. I am surprised that you have your own jet but don’t know international law regarding airspace of each country. Or you are another ignorant American who thinks you can do whatever you wish. Please stay out of China. You are not welcome there. To: Butch Stevens – You wrote: “To CNN Beijing,

What does that say about us.　　 There’s an old saying, treat people the same as how you would like to be treated.　　 Rob London The Chinese people seem to love all things western (David Beckham included by the looks of it) but in return all we can do is bad mouth them and show no respect.

They looked like they should have stayed home. Never in the annals of the Olympics history have we displayed a poor performance to let the whole world frown down upon us as our Jamaican Brothers and Sisters took the Gold that they deserved. This has to do with our education and sports programs in our schools today from Elementary to High Schools are children aren't really required to take PE Physical Education this has been the rule since the 1990's; now look at our obese and out of shape children of tomorrow. It's a Sad day in America; when we take monetary funds out of school programs to fight the World on Terrorism. Bottom-Line; Our future generations "Won't Be Able To Be Fit To Fight Anywhere, Anytime, or Anyplace; Let alone Terrorist in our own front yard. It's a really sad day. As one of my friends so eloquently stated: Track and field has been dismal at best, appears that the crack down on performance enhancing drugs is separating the real McCoy’s’ from the decoys. Thus far we have performed like decoys… Totally disheartening to see our US Track and Field Team lose in just about every major event. They looked like they should have stayed home.

Not to offend anyone, but who cares about what happened in 1900 to the Eastern and Western worlds; I thought this was going to be a blog about the games, not about who is the better country. I am an American and believe and have faith in my country...but who am I to say that my country is better than any others? I don't know all the facts about other countries, nor do I know of all the facts about America. I know that America is a country that accepts all people, foreign and domestic, and welcomes them. I agree with Sister Horst, I cheer for all athletes and wish nothing but the best for them all! We do need to pray for the world...it needs ALL our prayers.

Of course, they are happy because it will be held in china they obviously have chinese blood. They have chinese ancestry. If it were to be held in philippines, wouldn't your people be happy too. Maybe, you have not visited mindanao for a while. To Jaime Flor Cruz,

That is what you call spontaneous racism. That is more odd than what you call in xinjiang. No wonder al qaeda are hitting on you. Even if they are muslims in xinjiang, they have chinese blood. So what is the problem. It is more odd when you travel to the United States. They ask for the finger prints outright when you step into their territory. They brand everybody as suspected terrorist outright because of their paranoia. That is what you call odd. You people from the west have been picking on the chinese people almost everyday.

The Chinese Olympics are smaller than the others and can make four or five jumps, while the larger Olympicians are going out of bounds because they can only make three jumps. This is not fair.
