Don't worry about the Olympic Torch - it's a Nazi Symbol invented by Goebbels
 

and therefore it might suit China well - but i wish they would not make so much fuzz about it

read full story here - Joseph Goebbels invented the modern olympic torch for the games in Berlin in 1936

:2 cents:

Very interesting, but will probably fly over the heads of most here

ya think ?:Oh crap

Yes, you're brilliant.

Hitler was the torch, they should have lit up for the games!

I read about that - interesting and something I did not know before a few days ago.

Oh well, the Germans (yeah MaDalton) had some "good ideas" back in the day... sort of... LOL

i never knew that,thanks.

And some environmentalists are upset about the torch because of CO2 emissions.

Olympic Torch Emits 5,500 Tons of CO2

According to the article, officials of the following 2012 London games are considering a "carbon neutral" method of some sort of transporting the torch instead of using dedicated jet liners / buses, etc - perhaps they'll switchover to a virtual on-line torch instead that people interact with over the net.

Everyone go burn your VW, it's a Nazi symbol! Who cares, generally speaking it's an interesting and positive thing. Kind of funny how a bunch of leftist commie's are protesting 'communist' china though haha

great info:):):)

pathetic

I think it's just all crazy, they should never have allowed China to have the games, it will give them more money to beat the shit out of people.
