you are right in everything you say about invasions and whatnot, but that's not the fault of the entire country....about half of America has always been against this war, so don't even delve into such topics without bringing up all the facts...you are in America right now, so ACT like it. and about these DAMN medals, China cheated, and because they were the host nation everyone is just going to sweep it under the rug. We can't prove it, but they definitely cheated.

I can't believe this level of stupidity and ignorance. Oh well, no skin off my nose.

And the American government invaded Afghanistan and Iraq to get oil. I believe it is America that should be watching its back.

Lets face it, this 'age' controversy was just racism under the guise of sportsmanship. The American team came in with a superior attitude and when they performed poorly, they still believed the gold was rightfully theirs. And so what did they do? They resorted to sensationalizing and criticizing the physical appearance of the Chinese team. Sad. Very sad. By the way, since when in the history of the sport, did gymnasts ever look like grown women? Certainly not Americas Shawn Johnson.

I couldn't agree with you more. Too bad and too sad for the Americans. One of the beauty to be Chinese is that they always younger than their age. HOw come Americans don't complain about Japanese girls who looked just as young as Chinese girls. Japanese girls are not they competetors. If I was the Chinese girl, I will definitely file a sue of complain about the baseless and shameless accusation from the US team which cause tremendous stree for the Chinese girl that affects performance.

Too bad and too sad your Americans. One of the beauty to be Chinese you always look younger than your age. There is nothing you can do about it. China won Gold and Aerican 2nd. Please accept the fact and by the way, Chinese are proven the best this time and they are not under age like what you wongly accused of. The Chinese team or girls should sue AMericans for baseless and meanest manner accusing the chinese under age.

iam not even american and i find that offensive! now what exactly are you smoking, or mayb you lack common sense to believe that its easier for a team of older gymnasts to compete? well its not! first of all, younger gymnasts have MANY advantges, they're smaller and lighter which makes it WAY easier for them to do the acrobatic skills, and since theyre inexperianced they have almost NO pressure, not even a reputation to protect!

ok, ppl this is getting really out of control, stop posting your political opinions on this site unless you want a bunch of ppl to cuss at you because believe or not, most likely your own views will prolly not be the same as those to other ppl, especially when discussing controversial issues. HINT HINT the issues are controversial, because no one's views on them are the same, and prolly will not change so stop your bitching. as for you cust84, you got some nerve to mouthoff america.
