    Congrats to Phelps for winning another gold and getting yet another world record for the US - He really seems unstoppable at this point, no one can even stay close to him.

    I think his left ear gives him an unfair advantage, it's like paddle.

    There is no way that the Chinese girl is 16...more like 12. On the bright side in 4 years she can compete again legally.

    Yeah, but remember the little kid that walked in the Opening Ceremony with Yao Ming? They said he was 9, but to me he didn't look a day over 4. :rolleyes:

    Well changes started from today and I think USA is stronger in Track & Field events so we might see USA top in terms of Gold on Monday, although they already leading medal tally right now.

    Michael Phelps is phenomenal! He is very possibly going to come away with more medals than Canada lol. This pains me as a Canadian.

    Yep, it is indeed your mistake. Thing must look much what you have always thought it would / should be and to your so-called democracy taste on your party controled television channels and the websites you believe is telling the real truth because of the single fact that it says something against China - God, the government of China again did something terrible! That must be true! Because it's always true! I've been told it's an awful brutal government from when I was in elementary school! How can it not be that way!


    And this also reminds me of many interesting coincidences that all the countries / regions the US government have ever raped with armies and deadly forces happen to be the most evil in the world. You are the savers of the world, you only defame and kill people who are evil and NOT because they don't agree with you. You are told by your state run media that they should be eliminated from the earth. I suppose you hold the same point against us now, do you. We should be eliminated from the earth because we have done all the evil things your media told you we have. =)


    So tell me, how many of these truths you have held so dear are the ones you have actually witnessed yourself? I thought you were living in America. And what is it that makes you think your newspapers and TV channels are telling the real truth. Maybe they are and not so biased as you are (I highly doubt that though as they are also run by people like you), and were telling what they have seen but not reporting and judging from the deep grudges within.


    Isn't it your Mark Twain said that first you get the facts, then you can twist them as much as you need? Isn't it The Matrix your movie your idea that enlightens the possibility that we are surrounded by lies but have firmly believed that they are true all our lives?


    I don't actually watch state run televisions - I know, they are filled with uninteresting stuff like how local governments have improved the living standards of ordinary people and such - and neither do I visit those sites against our government - I dont' have to, I know what they might say, it's always brute and massacre, and there's always just 1 side of the story - how they have become the absolute victims without doing ANYTHING wrong. Yet you seem enjoying these stories and agreeing subconsciously because of the rooted prejudices you don't seem to be aware of.


    Actually I know more darker sides about our government than you do, but the right ones with my own eyes. Any country on the planet has its problems - sorry I mean governments. Now can you swear that the US government has done all things right and you know everything they do and they have NEVER did any thing inhumane and outlaw? Can you guarantee that they have never inspected and filtered the information you can get? Can you?


    Ok, let's get it back. I am a mainlander Chinese. From what I've seen ever since when I could remember stuff, the person who says
    is apparently one who know China only by means of others and especially those who are against China. Got beaten if we get it wrong?? That's really absurd and ridiculous when I knew you'd think that way. That's even more shocking than when I was asked by a British man 2 years ago that how came I didn't come with a long hair tail(old Chinese men are ordered by the emperors of the last dynasty, Qing, to wear or grow hairs as long as 1 meter and braided, which is more than 100 years ago)? See how western people think they know us but actually don't.

    Well Roger is still in double and I think he will win atleast one medal in Tennis.

    For second things you have to wait for 1 week as US Open is starting from 25th.

    Jesus people, the P&R forums are the proper place to hate on other countries.
