Olympics

Do you think it was intentional that there's not one picture of an american flag in 178 photos...

Any thoughts on the olympics in china? Dirty air? Communist military overtones? Country buying up the worlds metal. Making all the crap us americans love to waste money on instead of buyin us product.

Just curious.

Pic 4 is of Bush with a small american flag in his left hand but i nderstand you intentional meaning, it probably was on purpose, but i honestly wouldn't have held it in China, its supporting (in a roundabout way) communism, which the US shouldn't be partof in any way

supporting communism and the industrialization and inflation of one of the only economies and countries that can screw with us.

I put this damn near close to holding it in **** germany. Only thing worse would have been north korea or iran.


I missed that photo of bush. I suppose I've tried to shut him out of my mind.

By definition, communism doesn't exist. The olympics is what it is.

No other host country has ever been criticized as much as China has. I'm sure that the 1 picture of America was unintentional. Out of the other 204 countries participating, America shouldn't get anymore focus than the others, imo.

You'll see enough of the American flag during most of the podium ceremonies anyways.

**** Germany in 1936?

Seems like the photo count just went up to 185, so I'm pretty sure they're not done uploading all the photos, just yet.

Also, note that the photos are being provided by other news media, i.e. Reuters and AFP, just to name a few.
