Here i thought this thread was about the Olympics in China......

Name a positive effect that boycotting the Olympics would have?

People will hate China more, don't go there anymore . China lose money of tourism especially Tibetians will lose money to tourism.

People will go to other countries then (Western probably) so China will lose money, Western Countries will gain money....

So far, I don't see any other positive effects..

Hmmm, Tibetian losing money due to "Olympic tourism"?? LOL, you do realize the geographical location of Tibet and those cities which host the Olympics, right?

One positive effect that boycotting Olympics will have?


*putting CHinese's horrible human right record onto the first page news.
*Forces the government to be more accountable to their actions.

Heck, worked on Soviet Union before.

 We didn't buy everything under the sun from the Soviet Union.  It won't really work on China.  The worst thing you could do to China would be to stop buying Chinese made products (fat chance).  Everything else is just a token gesture.
