The Chinese pistol team is practicing at Guantanamo Bay?

Strong image though, hopefully some good will come of all the anti China sentiment out there now. -
I can only imagine what we're not seeing... (after seeing what we are.)

Anyone else getting that feeling of deja vu?
From 1936... -
Hey prisoner, please don't pout.
Sure, your brains'll get blown out.
But can you not see,

Your olympics will not have any doubt! -
China is chargin' its lazors... much to Tibet's dismay. :-(

BOYCOTT THE BEIJING 08!!!!!
Ive done my part ive sent letters to all companies that will broadcast the olympics, do your part. Every bit helps. Poor human rights, poverty, killing monks and cat death camps, this is *****. -
I will probably get flamed for this, but boycotting the 2008 Olympics won't solve anything. It will only hurt the Chinese people who have done nothing wrong here. Like the 1989 Tienanmen Square massacre, the Chinese government - not the people - are at fault. There are over 1 billion Chinese citizens, and most of them live in the countryside where conditions are like those of 3rd-world countries. Over 99% of them have nothing to do with the crisis in Tibet (and many have probably not even heard about it since power/phone lines are limited), so boycotting the 2008 Olympics (which millions have contributed towards) is unfair. Playing armchair quarterback and screaming for boycott is stupid, and it won't solve any problems.

The post below mine is true!!!

The world is triangular!

I can't wait for these Olympics. All this preparation is going to be worth the wait.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IF U USE STEROIDS IN CHINA

If Amnesty International was a person, it would have massive gonads.

9/11 = INSIDE JOB

Plz, some 1, mirror

If you're going to boycott Chinese goods for Tibet then boycott US goods for Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel.

I love the people that are "Boycotting" the Olympics. Oh no, they lose a few thousand viewers, now they only have the 40+ million people in the world who are gonna watch it.

There's a lot of Chinese on the internet (my gf included, we go to school together here in the US) who are showing videos like this
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-510591300 ...
Videos where "western media" is distorting the fact by showing Nepalese riot police hitting munks, etc etc. For all the Chinese who will argue this on this board (there are a lot), I have one response for you
Western media would love to have first hand photos of what happened in Tibet, but all the media that was there was kicked out by the Chinese government, and reporters weren't allowed to go there afterwards. So the only photos they could show were riots that took place in other parts of the world because the media was barred access to first hand photos. -
This feels close to slander.
I was/am not a big fan of amnesty to begin with.
The olympics is suppose to be a symbol of bring the world together. This doesn't help.
(read reduxien's comment) -
this immediately makes me think http://www.athousandandone.com/5/ even though it's a completely different matter and nationality. The imagery just immediately associates, though.
-
Think of the kitties dying!
-
Amnesty International is the biggest joke...all they do is send letters to the dictators asking them nicely to stop.
-
Mind America's problems before you start criticizing China's. Imagine how little we know about what goes on in our own government, you might come up with something even worse. I laugh at the irony of us trying to insult China when the same thing is happening here under the secrecy of our own government.
-
What China is doing in Tibet doesn't come ***** close to what we did in Iraq you ***** *****! Countries should ***** boycott us for killing hundreds of thousands on innocent people there!
-
the Western media is just happy to create anything that makes China look bad, The terrible distortion of Tibet riot by all major news media simply disregards any facts they do not like to see and you are making a terrible terrible mistake this time. Unlike many times before where the average Chinese people are not with the government, this time all Chinese people are really sick of how you are distorting the facts and shouting boycott along with everyone else without knowing what really happened. In the past, you were against the Chinese government. But this time you are blindly running against the Chinese people. Hope you stop being arrogant ignorant. THere are people who feel so lost to see how fast China is developing and will try to make trouble. If you think you are the
number one nation in the world, do not be the number one ignorant nation...you do not even care about who your president is, how much do you know about other country. and you sit there wondering why other people do not like you.... if you always gives no respect to others, then how can expect it from others? shame to be a Christian nation... -
Nobody cares as long as the money keeps flowing.
-
China ruthlessly murders its own and nearby countries citizens.
America likes to travel to do it.
Both methods suck. -
i was born n raised in china and that picture up there is just wrong n ignorant. Dont judge anything before you've experienced it by yourself, espically a country or a culture youve never been to and your only source of imformation about it is something like youtube.
Amnesty International should really do something productive... -
Amnesty International is playing hardball- China is sure not to like this.
-
Hypocrite Americans acting like they care about Tibet. They whine about 4000 dead Americans in Iraq when millions of Iraqis died and they've nuked Japan.
They are only capable of creating slaughterhouses and then whine about others. Hypocrites. -
Truth of China gov.

Gee...replace that handgun with a taser and it could just as easily be the USA. In fact, you don't need to replace the handgun....

This bothers me, do you digg users even understand the situation right now in tibet to make the comments that you are making?
You guys hear the "4 monks were shot 40 times each" "Free tibet!" "***** china" "kill all chinese", sure, i guess you can say what ever you want, but do you guys think that its fair to only hear one side of the story?
Let me put it this way, Iraq
in other countries, the side of the story they hear is "***** united states yankees are invading countries for oil!"
the side you hear is "we are liberating iraqi people and getting rid of mass destruction"
its the same concept here, the story you are hearing is "Every monk in tibet has been SHOT! CHINA IS CRUEL, chinese are bad! ***** CHINESE"
but what you dont hear is the terrorist acts commited by these "radical Tibetans" to give you an idea, they burned down shops, bombed government buildings, and killed chinese citizens in tibet. what does that sound like? oh kind of like terrorism huh? Please go to youtube, type in BBC tibet, maybe you all can get a better prespective on this story before you make your judgment. -
If you feel like boycotting specific companies, and/or writing them to let them know how you feel:
US-Based: Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, Kodak, McDonald’s, Microsoft, NBC, Panasonic, Staples, UPS, Visa
Non US-based: Atos Origin Adidas BHP Billiton Lenovo Manulife Samsung Swatch Volkswagen Omega Watches Haier Group SOHU Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial International Tsingtao Brewery Co., LTD BHP Billiton Bank of China China Network Communications Group Corporation China Petrochemical Corporation
(www.uscampaignforburma.org/olympic-corporate-sponsors) -
here's to all those china fanboys:
1. i don't care ***** about western media, but your evidence against them is NIL
2. does it matter whether that the media is mischaracterising the event? tibetans are unhappy and if they go crazy and riot, that means SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED
3. wtf does culture have to do with china and human rights? chinese culture is not bad it's the PRC government that's bad (in my view at least)
4. hundreds of NGOs have investigated the situation in china and found that things could improve significantly...no commentary needed here
5. lay off the talk on digg and start pressing the PRC government to fix itself and then country...the reason why there are polluted rivers in china is b/c no one cared -
The Dalai Lama has said that the Beijing Olympics should NOT be boycotted.
Boycotting the olympics won't serve any purpose other than make things worse.

Now I'm no China apologist. I think the way they jail their journalists, repress all forms of free speech and viciously and violently repress ethnic minorities is reprehensible. But look at what we did to the Native Americans and the African Americans, and the Irish and the Italians. Our government has also jailed journalists and restricted free speech. And the US jails more per capita of its citizens than any other country.... INCLUDING China.
-
I think everyone needs to realize that this is neither a case of "Tibet against the Chinese government" nor "Human Rights in China" - this is a dispute between two Chinese ethnic groups: HAN vs. TIBETO. This traces back thousands of years of Chinese history and there is no EASY SOLUTION to this. Boycotting against the Olympics is simply not justified. In fact, most of the ppl are just jumping on the bandwagon because of other political/personal reasons.
Anyhow, I've waited 4 years for this damn thing and the last thing I want to see is people messing around with flame and blowing up ***** during the games!!! -
If the Dalai Lama specifically went out of his way to say he is against any boycott of the games, why are other people who don't know squat about hte conflict and the dynamics of China/Tibet running around claiming boycott is the solution??
The Dalai Lama has the most to lose in all of this and he is not in favor of a boycott. -
A Chinese activist who circulated an open letter titled "We Want Human Rights, Not the Olympics," was sentenced to five years in prison Monday, a court official said, The Associated Press reported in Beijing.
The activist, Yang Chunlin, had been charged with subverting the power of the state, a claim the authorities commonly use to clamp down on dissent. -
Isolation does not work. Cuba is proof of that. We need to go there so the Chinese citizens see us, see our freedom and want it bad enough to change their Government. We shouldn't ignore what they are doing. We need to speak as bluntly as Amnesty International but as long as we allowed to, we need to go there as often as we can.
