for Get It Right of Perth, how about the LABOR party start spelling the word correctly. The Oxford English dictionary spells it LABOUR, so how about you forgive all the punters out there for spelling it correctly, instead of the wrong way like the peanut marketing machine that runs the ALP.If you knew your history, you'd be aware that the ALP decided to Americanise the spelling to make it sound modern. Maybe they should modernise the whole title as the Oztrayan Labor Pardee !

I think that human rights should ALWAYS come before a self gratifying sporting event, which benefits the country holding them and the athletes. Not the common person. I think that if the athletes go, then that say's a lot of their morals, I wouldn't go. Also Gosper, pull ya head in mate, this country you are defending is criminal, and doesn't even give freedom to its own people. I thought that part of the Olympics Ideals were the freedom of everyone, and peace. Peace doesn't come from the barrel of a gun.
