who cares about the stupid olypics. almost the whole stat of pa doesent even watch that retarted shit.... its so boring and to contrivesial because every bodys afraid of '' offending any body'' so its more politicly corect than my art teacher.... so ya fuck china.

Let me remind you that the People's Republic of China, the Chinese, the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army, are not at all afraid of Muslim fundamentalists who want to split and will never hesitate to deal with them with full force when necessary.

China also has friends in the Middle East as well that do not endorse such wrong diseased extremist thinking that is ironically, usually taken up by Western and Japanese viruses with their own agendas.

[SeventhSun]

In North Korea and Thailand it passed peacefully. I'm sure the same would be said of Singapore it was chosen for the route it would be a successful and peaceful event too.

If people cannot educate themselves enough to understand the subject they are attacking (in this context China and her provinces) and they insist on holding disruptive street protests then harsh laws must be put in place to deal with them and their families.

[SeventhSun]

There is simply no need to bother with the Westerners and false Asians and the other equally lesser races behind them.

Rather, we must push for the acceleration of the Rfid Chip Program to be used upon them all before they really out of hand with their homophobic, deviant, uneducated and dangerous political views.

No offence...you should think before you say something.

Most Chinese back their government on this Tibet issue. So, now you are actully against people of China.

Othewise, you may try to yell "free tibet" or "tibet independent" to any Chinese to see whether he or she will enjoy it with you.

Cheers
