The Chinese and What they Really Stand For

After reading the article on the 2008 Olympic Games, I found that there are a lot of different things that China has been covering up from the rest of the world so that they will be able to have the Olympics. China is a country that has been devaluing people for many years and won’t let it stop. They keep torturing people so that they will confess to crimes that they didn’t commit. They keep killing helpless and innocent human beings because they aren’t doing exactly what the government of china want them to do. This genocide will keep going unless people bring it to the attention of others who are able to do something about it.
I have found other complaints about why china should not be able to host the Olympic Games in 2008. The subject of Darfur is a big deal today and has not been dealt with much. The Chinese republic has been trading with Sudan for oil and other things which has been aiding in the deaths of over 200,000 people in Darfur. The participants in the games are going to try to get everybody participating in the games to hold peaceful protests when they receive their medal. They say that instead of giving a speech on the achievements and other things of that nature they will speak about china and how it is killing people in Darfur and in their own country.
Of course there is another side of the story. Although it is posted by the Chinese, it still doesn’t tell of why they should have to games in the country other than because they have the resources and the people to make it happen. They also say that it will be one of the best sporting events in the world. This argument is not a strong one against everything else that has been brought against the Chinese republic.
After everything that I have heard and read about china and what they are doing to people I think that the Olympic games should be held in a country that is fair to all people and at least don’t attack their own civilians. The slogan for the Chinese Olympic games is “One World, One Dream” is a big contradiction to what china stands for and is not they way that humans should act to each other.

Delta: Upgrading and Improving

Delta announced that it will be providing food to the coach customers on flights of three or more hours. They say that the new EATS program will be giving not only the first class but the coach passengers as well the opportunity to choose from five entree options by celebrity chef Todd English. These meals are freshly made hummus with veggies; a chicken parmesan sandwich; a cheddar, turkey bacon and apple butter croissant; and a chicken bistro salad. The meals are priced between $4 and $9. they did a survey on this and found that passengers would rather pay for good food then not pay and have food that wasn't very good. Delta also announced that they will be providing more entertainment features such as music and videos games that the passenger can control themselves. All of the improvements should be done by June 1 of 2008.

Teacher Arrested for Porn

A Two-Rivers teacher was arrested yesterday on porn charges. James E. Chase, 69, was arrested at his Ludlow home after the Kenton County Police Department executed a search warrant there Monday morning. They found several computers with pictures of child pornography on them. Police say that they went into the home with a search warrant and that James was cooperating with them. Police say that they have no evidence that any Covington students are involved in the Pictures. The police also said that the investigation had been going on since November and that they are still looking in the computers for more evidence. Under Kentucky law, possession of more than one pornographic image involving a child can result in the distribution charge, because the accused can be presumed to intend to distribute it.
How sick of a Person does one have to be to have that kind of content on their computer? I really think that this man should be convicted of as much as he can be since this sort of thing is not right at all.

Ray Gun makes big changes in warfare

The new Ray Gun that the pentagon has been working on is said to be finished and able to put into action. The Gun is a harmless way to keep protesters and other people who aren't friendly away from the troops when they are in a situation to fire upon them or not. The gun looks nothing like a regular gun since it has a giant dish antenna and other features that are unfamiliar to us. It also shoots out a 100000 watt beam of light hitting anything in its path. What happens is the beam penetrates the skin just far enough to mess with the nerves and make it feel like it is putting scalding water on yourself. there are ways to protect yourself but if you use a mattress or something else to cover up then the soldiers will know that this person is not a friendly person. With over 11000 test done on actual people, they found that the average person can withstand about three seconds of the blast. The gun will be hard to put into Iraq next summer because it is so harmless and can be used for torture. the military is now afraid to do that since the prison camps incidents.
