"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. What does that say about us.　
　
There’s an old saying, treat people the same as how you would like to be treated.

Elena is the best pole vaulter and the sexiest woman. I hope 5.20 is not a limit for her in London.......

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. 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 are 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…

CNN is wrong to say that Afghanistan has just won its "first ever" Olympic medal. A good friend of mine, Abdul Kader Jan of Waigal Village, Waigal Valley Nuristran, won a bronze medal at the London Olympics (1948) and a second bronze medal at the Melbourne Olympics (1956), both as a member of the Afghanistan Field Hockey Team.

I thought an interview was to be with, not about, the subject. Here we get another endless CNN blah blah by the interviewer instead of words from the one we want to hear.. Can't these TV types ever suppress their egos? It was like those sideline "interviews" where the mike-holding questioner asks a 50-word "question" designed to elicit a one-word reply. Give us a break!

I just wanted to say that for those of us who religiously keep CNN up during the day and are also avid Olympics watchers, it was unfair to put up a breaking news story about an Olympic event result, especially the 200 meter race, which a TON of us wanted to see for the first time tonight.
