Attacking China's Olympic Dream....

Any residual tendency I might have had to feel sympathy for Tibetan separatists evaporated when this happened. Jail time is too good for these goons.

I'm sickened by this kind of behavior. It tells me all I need to know about the wackos who are pushing the 'Free Tibet' agenda. Reminds me of some of the cretins we've had to deal with in this country.

My sympathies lie completely with China. It is very offensive to me that some are trying to rob PRC of their national "moment" on the world stage.

 

P.S. I hope Bush has the guts to attend the opening ceremony.

I've never agreed with all that Mike, AKA Spike, has posted. But, beyond any doubt, I agree with every word that was posted above.

Now you've spoiled it, Dennis!!!! If BB is ever re-opened, everyone will know who I am!!!

 

Just to clarify, I've never posted anywhere as Spike, except for BB! I'm thinking about it, though....

I agree with you 100% !!! I could have not said it any better.

Then he should be a trailblazer AND right at the same time. It certainly behooves us to be friendly with China. We'd be fools not to be.

Yes, it would be wonderful for him to finally do something that wasn't foolish or foolhardy.

minus the emotionalism... I for [maybe] once will agree with the two of you

[Smitty]

Now after reading the article, I don't have any more feelings one way or another on the issue of Tibet.

 

The way some idiots act in the course of their protests, is despicable with out any doubt. Hopefully they will enjoy some time in jail with some other quality individuals.

 

There are always those whose passion for whatever event/thing it is that they love can push them beyond reason. I feel sorry for them, more than anything else. Especially in this case. These idiots will always be known as attacking a disabled athlete, and a woman at that(of course the concept of chivalry is most dead anyway, so what does that matter? ), so their karma will be their reward.

 

Wait, I don't feel sorry for them. That implies some sort of acceptance. I feel pity for them for not being able to control themselves. Maybe they should be sentenced to wear adult diapers as a sign of their lack of self control...

 

Just a quick question - After looking at the pictures, shouldn't the torch be burning?

I think there's a separate "torch" with the actual flame that accompanies the ceremonial one that's carried in the relay. It's kept in a secure place and is never extinguished.

The article doesn't change my opinion on the issue, but it definately reinforces my disdain for people who resort to sensationalism and stupid acts to try to draw attention to their issue, or take their frustrations out on innocents. Any thing like this always makes me think of PETA.
