As for not caring, I think there are many more people who simply do not realize how much real oppression is done in the world. It's not a subject for feel-good news broadcasts. World War 2 was fought and won by millions of people who cared very deeply.

Secondly, maybe we're not talking about the same thing here. I'm referring to slightly overweight people, not obese people with serious health problems. In that case, I agree with you. But there's such a thing as taking it too far and I believe that when people are healthy and perhaps five to ten kilos overweight they can't be considered as worse parents than people who are of ideal weight.

I don't believe that older children in foster care are denied to slightly overweight people. Being overweight is a big healt risk, they are just trying to protect the children, but that seems to make you angry. Being adopted by anyone is a huge burden, the child loses so much in the process. I wouldn't wish being any part of it on anyone. Most adopted children are not in danger of being exploited like you suggest.

Whatever is right. Unfortunately, I realize that a country like China might be impervious to any attempts at boycotting them. In any case, most people don't even seem to care and that's what upsets me the most. I’m not sure about that and anyway, I’m fully prepared to boycott other countries. Whatever is right.

But I am against any type of bycott and here is why. China is not the only super-power playing around with the rights of the Tibet people or of other people under threat. You have Russia with its Chechnya problem. You have the US with its myroid or problems in other countries. Here is an interesting piece the link to which I found on another blog which is interesting read: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/JC26Ad02.html I think the best way to help the situation is create awareness of the situation, but also better understanding of the Chinese perspective. Rather then force and coercion a more peaceful way must be sought. Yes I agree the human rights violations of people in Tibet (and of course Uyghurs, Kashmir, etc) in indeed deplorable.
