sad i culdnt get down there for the protests, anyone go to them?
Any protests planned in your own countries?
Looking too. Havent found any demos nearby yet.
I hope politics find an appropriate way of dealing with the situation. I wish money would play a less important role in all this...
Necturus
indeed, it infuriates me that money is the only thing this world cares about, over the suffering of so many people
No protests around here. :evil: Nevertheless I plan to boycott games completly. I will not watch a minute of it. It´s a international fiasco that the China is hosting this games.
Seems like the torch has been put out in france.
Excellent! :D
wow, nice! I don't like china holding the olympics, at all. Good job, the one who put it out.
maybe it will sound stupid, but why people dont like this(olympics in china)?
Because China does not care about Human Rights, and it invaded Tibet and has since forced the Tibetan people into submission, thru beatings, closing temples and killing Monks and Children.
It has a history of Human Rights violations, including, 'black prisons' that dont exist, the government will quickly arrest/attack/kill anyone that voices an opinion that is diffrent to the state policy.
Have a quick search of Google for China Human Rights and China Tibet, and you will quickly see why China needs an urgent change of policy and government
China is a totalitarian state, that feeds its people propoganda to control it (much like the west, but with more murder). For eg, recent protests in Tibet resulted in the deaths of 18 people, including monks and children, what was reported to the Chinese people, was that hundreds of police officers where hurt in riots by people in the Tibeten province, and that none of the protestors where hurt!
The Dhali Lama, the head of Tibet, operates a policy of peace, and Tibet is one of the most peacful countries in the world, until China invaded, China has then told the Chinese people that the Dhali Lama is stirring up riots and violance, what infact happened, was the Dhali Lama said he would resign as head of Tibet if anyone commited violance against the Chinese authorities, and that he wanted Tibet to have its independance thru peaceful talks, as was the way of the Tibetan people before China invaded.
The only reason they are allowed to behave the way they do, is because they provide cheap goods to the EU, UK and USA, once again the western world proves that money is more important than human rights!!
Summer Olympics are not my thing. (i'm more a fan of the winter Olympics) Never the less, there need to come a solution, soon. For Tibet i mean.
