I think Brazil will be nice and white washed by the time the Olympics start. It'll be just like China, the government will go to the extreme to scrub up their poor little country to make it palatable to those scared, ignorant, global northerners. It's a good thing they have the Olympics to give them a reason to crack down on poor people, I mean superficially "rid their country of drugs" in time for the games. View
If China got their act together, well, mostly, then I don't see why Rio won't and can't. I'd like to think that Brazilians, gangsta or not, are people who are generally very proud of their country and will make it work for the better. View
China used chemicals to rain out clouds before the Olympics, I wonder if that is a similar process and if it had any negative effects. View

The US will be financially pushed out as a superpower forcing us to conform to the majority in order to survive. Look at it like this. It's like we're all in a school yard playground and the universal trading card is the baseball card. We all (the countries in the school yard) trade back and forth amongst each other..and it's all good until china introduces the garbage pail kid trading card and it becomes the playground sensation. But the US hasn't gotten any and is still trying to trade baseball cards with everyone else, but no one wants Baseball cards anymore..and eventually, everyone stops playing with the US altogether.

Like the west, China also has a difficult past and it is trying very hard and serious of changing into a perfect society. So just sit back and watch for it to come. View
As China becomes more westernized I think its inevitable that their people will begin to have more freedom, however it seems they still have a long way to go. View

I concur with the reporter that we should "put them out of their misery." But not because they are fat, lazy, dumb, etc. How is this such a debatable topic when in reality we all indirectly support the extinction of this creature when we but goods manufactured in China. Anyone in the west that claims to care about this animals are being hypocritical. View

Giving away my tax money to oranizations for the "good they do"? I thought my money went to support government functions. Silly me! It goes to banks (U.S. and European), stock market, China, and countless others, while millions of Americans lose their jobs, homes, and lives. Now people claim the "problem" is, once again, a (half)vast Right Wing Conspiracy, like when Hillary claimed when there were allegations agaist Bill by a woman named Monica. She was just another "nutcase" with an imagination. Blue dress? What blue dress? Guess that was another Right Wing prop too, because the "Clintons do so much good" too. All these groups that feed in the government hog trough make me upset and OFFEND me! I hardly need a Beck or other commentator for that.
I don't care of ACORN is as pure as the driven snow. The payments directly from government need to stop now and forever! View
The President is in the wrong here. The United States needs to realize something. Competing straight up in traditional industries against Developing Nations just won't work. We pay workers much more -- have benefits to cover -- than China and other nation's economies. We need to learn to adapt and adopt new strategies, like building mass transit that efficiently addresses weaknesses in our own economy while creating jobs. Tariffs on prime trading partners will only create bad will and shut off the spigot of economic growth here at home and overseas. View
