If I had sold Tibetan merchandise in San Francisco, London, or Paris, I would be extremely rich. It seems everybody and their mothers came out to support Tibet and the “human rights” issue. Below is a video that shows how informed these people really are.

 

 
If you can’t find Tibet on a map, why are you protesting? If you say for “human rights”, I’m going to ask where you find your sources; watching Seven Years in Tibet isn’t enough to call yourself an expert on Tibet. The only reason these people are protesting is because of the publicity the media is giving them. For all you Tibet supporters, why didn’t ya’ll feel so strongly Tibet last year? There are so many other issues today that the world should focus their attention on. For instance, the fighting in Somalia, Darfur, or the food crisis in Senegal, all have more precedence than human rights in Tibet; yet, human rights in Tibet seems to be the most worthy of the protesters’ voice.

Here is a website that is campaigning for Tibet. If you look at the human rights section you see it’s a little over 200 words. Talk about Information overload on an issue those Tibet supports feel so adamantly about.

 
In conclusion, it’s really sad that these Tibetan protesters are trying to ruin China’s image. Rather than focusing on a more serious problem, they’re going all out to stop the Olympics for an issue they don’t know much about. They make it seem like Tibet is the new concentration camp that China built to suppress the Tibetans.

 
Team Tibet is really putting on some show.

 
Yeah.

What’s the deal with all those people hating on China? Free Tibet? China has helped Tibet prosper by getting rid if their feudal system and helping them raise their GDP. If you think Tibet would be better off being fully autonomous think again! If you got your facts on Tibet from Brad Pitt’s movie “Tibet”, read Dr. Parenti article about how Tibetans were treated by their own government before China took control.

They Tibetans don’t want independence from China but only improved human rights. I don’t know if the Tibetans who riot and resort to violence really get the message across.

 
Yeah, the people of Tibet might be oppressed, but the people of China aren’t? If you’re going to fight for anything, fight for the Chinese people. It’s really silly to see people trying to stop the torch’s flame, because of the human rights issue in Tibet. Trying to use the Olympics as leverage for propaganda-”Free Tibet”- is ridiculous.

 
Anyways, if you’re going to boycott the Olympics because of this issue, I feel sorry for you. China will put on the most impressive Olympics ever. It’s not even an opinion: They spent so much time and money promoting it, to show the world that China is the real deal. When I was there three years ago, they were already getting ready. Chinese people are crazy over the Olympics and this year’s is sure to be one for the books. If you miss the Olympics because of Tibet, you might as well not use any of the products made from the raw materials in Africa: There’s a lot less human right over there.

 
Yeah.
