Brave cowboy never walks away from possibility of a good fire fight.
Boycotting and walking out and saying not to attend beforehand do not represent brave cowboy with big cojones, instead is a resemblance of a queer having a gay fit.
Brave cowboy goes to militant atheist party and then attend Christian church service held in the middle of the militant atheist party venue, and afterwards eyeball all the staring atheist militant straight in the eye, and then slowly say to them either you are with us or you are with the terrorist.
That would be a good show.
It is absolutely the right platform. And I pray the president has the guts not to go.
song2vs4 - almost correct, it is the wrong platform, except that China is using the platform for their own political purposes. Since they, as hosts, decided to try to use the torch relay and the Olympics to promote themselves as a member-in-good-standing international country then they are the ones that opened themselves up to protesters trying to highlight things that are wrong.
Wrong platform to make your statement.
