Certainly that's not the reason you don't live in China.
You can elaborate....no?

So you have parents that left China, I wonder why. Because they have a better life not being there. I'm am not talking about standard of living as to having to shit in a bathroom in a house opposed to to it in an outhouse.
I'm talking about the freedom to say and damn near do anything you want. Go tell the Chinese Government you want freedom for all of their Citizens and Tibet and see where you shit for the rest of your life.
I want to be clear on one thing, I'm noway knocking the Chinese people only the out of date Government that imposes their will to the Citizens of China, Tibet and Taiwan. And with the reach they have in the ethnic cleansing in the Sudan.

No disrespect to your parents, but they're going back with money in their pocket and a career that was nourished in Canada not China.
You been very vague on a lot you have said, not wanting to expose everything. And have never once rebutted anything said about China's heavy handed Government.

A lot of Chinese folks in tech industries have stayed here for a long time only to move back if not discovered. Silver posted an article about it in R&P.

Intead of being a hyper-liberal commie sympathizer, why don't you try standing up for your country. You don't know how good you have it, and that's pathetic.

Yeah, I'm for real. Besides we aren't in R & P, so don't even know why we are discussing this here. But when did I defend what China was doing? I too think what China is doing is wrong. I hate communism even more.
But I think its even worse when the media is blasting all the negative aspects of China.
When was the last time you guys really took interest in China before the whole Tibet incident? How many of you guys are basing your opinions about China just from what you saw during the Tibet incident?
If you guys think China is so bad, why don't you guys do something about it?
Write your congress person a letter, or join the military and go to war against them. Better yet, donate some money to all the poor starving people.
This thread was about the Olympics, and I truly believe the media is trying to distort the focus of the Olympics to China's problems.

That's why I won't shut up about how bad it is as well. Yes this thread has railroaded, and it's because the fundamental mindset of the Chinese Gov't ruling is why the thread was started in the first place. They'll doing anything to get what they want. From lying about a girls age or supporting Ethnic Cleansing in Sudan.

From -- http://www.newsday.com/services/news...,4512588.story
What advantages would a 13-year-old female gymnast have over a 16-year-old?
Prepubescent females are shorter, ideally under 5 feet tall, and have an advantage on the uneven bars because of the spacing between them. They also have small advantages in the vault and the balance beam.
Is there any way to test for age scientifically?
Yes, there are bone testing and dental testing procedures, though it is impossible to give an exact chronological age. But bone testing, specifically a test that looks at the growth center in the wrist of young humans, could likely tell the difference between a 13-year-old and a 16-year-old.
"Unfortunately we are not trees," says Dr. Gary Wadler, spokesman for the American College of Sports Medicine. "We can't count our rings."
