Two disabled athletes (a blind guy and a lady with only one leg) vs Tibetan Freedom Fighters!!! http://laiba.tianya.cn/laiba/images/320413/12076597151 781263693/A/1/m.jpg

Sadly they’re really interested in the Olympic LOGO being protected as a ‘brand name’ and as a ‘trade mark’ which money can be made out of, as you say, CQ.

Uhh, so precious to say in the third video that “China could do more for human rights in Darfur and Burma” when the USA has murdered and displaced so many in Iraq and continued the decades of turmoil in Afghanistan and extended the war to bombing villagers in rural Pakistan.

As it is, the USA could “do more for human rights in Burma” by giving Chevron a good kick up the ass and diplomatically pressuring certain interest in ASEAN who are facilitating everything. The USA could also “do more” in E.Africa by NOT bombing innocent villagers in Somalia!

One would have to say that the relative ease with which Tibetan independence protestors have been able to disrupt the Olympic torch procession in Europe (that includes Britain) has been intentionally calculated by NATO member governments to deliberately put China in the worst light possible.

So disappointing that non-Tibetans (Anglos, Europeans) are overdoing things severely in ‘their’ demonstrations. Most of the ethnic Tibetan protestors, by comparison, are all relatively peaceful and harmless although it is they who have the real issues to complain about.

Now that IS a lesson in non-violence on the streets in the West but it is the white indigenes who are failing to appreciate that and are showing how essentially racist they really are. This is, after all, merely an EXCUSE for them to hate Chinese.

But the way the ‘independence movement’ ethnic Tibetans have behaved in Europe is quite atrocious and attacking and harassing a disabled athlete (a young Chinese lady with one leg) in a wheelchair is scandalous and will eventually backfire badly on their presumed cause.

Check this clip at around 50 sec (first attack) then around 1.15min+ and again at around 2.00min+ and her face has obviously become frightened - La flamme Olympique chahutee a Paris

She must have been terrified and holding on to the extinguished torch grimly and so bravely determined in a suddenly violent strange foreign country, uhh. What an awful experience - and despite being supposedly assurred of protection as a travelling Olympic official representative!!!

Unfortunately, its not about peace, or “freedom”, or human rights, or the Olympics or even Buddhism. in the West, its an excuse for their own human rights shortcomings - but for Tibetans, its simply about Tibetan INDEPENDENCE!

So much so, in fact, that Tibetans (expatriates/refugees and their second-generation children) are now fighting against even their own government-in-exile in Dharamsala and their own Dalai Lama as well as fighting China as well as ignoring their more moderate religious leaders.

While the Dalai Lama and his people have been quietly trying to negotiate a peace deal and new terms for Tibet’s relationship with China, the Tibetan people have apparently chosen not to wait as their frustrations boil over, right or wrong.

The situation is now so contentious that the outcome is far less predictable than before. It is in China’s hands how far things will go but they have to face the full force of the adverse publicity now being generated by different interest groups as well as the longer-term security issues.

On the Tibetan community Phayul website which has a picture of the Dalai Lama at the top of every page, there is an article, “Don’t Stop the Revolution!” which severely and perhaps very incorrectly criticizes the Dalai Lama and his government-in-exile for not being rabid revolutionaries as forces within their own government stupidly vie for influence!

Just for you,Your name says all I need too know about your service time.

Politics (poly meaning many and tics being blood sucking insects) have no place at a sporting event, let the best person win.  National pride of a winner should be politics enough, bragging rights.

The U.S. has no moral right to accuse anyone of violating human rights.  U.S. Citizens die everyday in the U.S. at the hands of some Taser equipped rent a cop.

The whole “carrying the torch” thing started in 1936 Olympics in Berlin. One of Adolf’s ideas, perhaps?

The Torch is being given more security than most people. It’s a THING, people. Spend the money, if you must, on helping talented athletes develop their skills.

As it is, the Olympics is just a gigantic money-grab.

here are the dots

It’s pretty stupid to protest the Olympics just because they are being held in China. They were held in Nazi Germany too. Not every country can have the racism-free, non-arms trading, perfect utopia of France and the UK, right? *laughs*

Doesn’t China still hold MOST FAVORED NATION STATUS????The DUDE IN CHARGE over there is one of BULLSH*T’s BEST FRIENDS....BULLSH*T ASPIRES TO BE JUST LIKE HIM.
