- Persondude, on 03/18/2008, -29/+454Dugg, picture made me very sad :( Free Tibet!
- BN2L, on 03/18/2008, -19/+431I find it unbelievable that the Chinese government are now accusing the Dalai Lama of orchestrating the violence. I mean the guy won the 1989 Nobel peace prize specifically for his consistent opposition to the use of violence. Sounds like typical chinese lies and propaganda to me.
- Arcesius, on 03/18/2008, -28/+286Seriously, boycott China.
- dksupremacy, on 03/18/2008, -10/+189[Empty Gesture] !!! [Empty Gesture] !!! ya... i feel good about myself, im gonna go back and watch TV
but seriously, Is there anything else we can do beside boycotting? I don't think that is going to change China's stance at all - futility, on 03/18/2008, -6/+152I've been wondering... did we save Darfur yet? Or are we on a new OMGWTF topic and just forgetting about the last one?
- gummih, on 03/18/2008, -11/+134That is an awesome picture - I'm willing to bet that it will get a number of awards. AND it will help raise awareness about Tibet. As in, do you know what the protests are about?

- bgale246, on 03/18/2008, -11/+89I won't be watching. I know im only one person, but I won't be watching.
- ArchangelZLT, on 03/18/2008, -9/+80As a Chinese I strongly oppose the government on this.
- bromac, on 03/18/2008, -6/+72War is peace. Black is white. Monks are violent.
- MrNexus, on 03/18/2008, -5/+69This is real life you retard. Not some ***** videogame.

- pianomahnn, on 03/18/2008, -1/+53You could go to China as a super secret stealthy ninja and kill all the leaders.
- zephyear, on 03/18/2008, -17/+67boycott beijing summer olympics
- mikelgan, on 03/18/2008, -10/+58***** you dont know what happened to him. he probably got trampeld by mob of people trying to loot ***** *****
Not likely. But even if that's the case, it doesn't change the cultural genocide that's going on there. There are oh, so many reasons to boycott the Olympics, and this is one of them. - godzillaWax, on 03/18/2008, -5/+47You're not the only one. And it's not enough to boycott - contact the sponsors and tell them you're not buying their products.
- yellowsnowcone, on 03/18/2008, -6/+43Sorry to cross post, but I've received these images today from a source inside Tibet and the world needs to see them.
http://digg.com/world_news/Photos_provide_the_real ... - sickrubik, on 03/18/2008, -1/+37This is why I've been using paper plates.
- Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -12/+47I'm probably going to get Dugg down for this but oh well.
I don't know enough about the culture, history or current events to pass any sort of judgment on what's going on over there. I have a feeling that many who are calling for a free Tibet don't either (dihydrogen monoxide anyone?).
I'm going to try to read up on both sides of the story and develop an opinion of my own before jumping on the band wagon. If you guys have any links to articles on what's going on (unbiased if possible) I would love to read them. I want to see China's position as well as Tibet.
Questions I have are why are the monks protesting? Why are only monks protesting? Tibet has been part of China for thousands of years according to my understanding, so to try to put into perspective I imagine this is similar to the south wanting to separate from the US. How is Tibet/China's situation different? I hear people talking about cultural genocide... What is China doing specifically that is causing this cultural genocide? Is there anything Tibet could do to live peacefully under China and still practice their culture? Or is China simply trying to eradicate it?
Like most Americans I don't know enough about what's going on in the world. It's time I change that I think. I want to have an educated opinion though before I attempt to take a stand on the issue and I think it's important for anyone who takes a stand on something to understand all sides of the argument before they do. - ABadPerson, on 03/18/2008, -3/+36What a contrast: Charlie Rose Face Plants To Save His MacBook Air, and this monk with a bloody face who is trying to save his way of life.
Oh the humanity... - ciaran036, on 03/18/2008, -15/+47That's a disgraceful attitude. Please explain those words further because at the minute I'm not liking them at all. You can't condemn an entire country, comprising more than a billion people within it's boundaries. It is a small number of individuals in the Chinese government who are causing this conflict so please don't treat China as one. We are ALL one, not just individual countries. If we treated everyone like we ourselves would like to be treated then this world would be so much better.

- godzillaWax, on 03/18/2008, -7/+37I thought Chinas firewall was supposed to keep the internet from ***** like this one?
- ButtSmudge, on 03/18/2008, -6/+33This monk was beat up by the Napel riot police in Nepal. All the pictures were protesters clashing with riot police from Napal, Belgium and other countries outside of China. Funny how everyone in the west is waiting for the next Tiananmen square result, yet all the body laying on the ground in Tibet are of Han Chinese and Chinese Muslims. All the instigators are Tibetans, its like the LA Riots of '90s in Tibet right now, anyone who isnt Tibetan are getting stabbed, killed and burned.
- zoethebitch, on 03/18/2008, -14/+41Tibet: Oil? Nope. Uranium? Nope. Any other economically feasible natural resources? Nope. Significant potential trading/economic partner with the U.S.? Nope.
U.S. Government response: Say some politically correct words, then wait for the public to be distracted by something else and forget about it.
Similar to the situation in Iraq & Sudan. Iraq has oil, so let's get involved in their problems. Sudan has no oil, so let them swing in the wind. - webefools, on 03/18/2008, -10/+36Please visit this site to send a message to your government rep and the Olympics commitee:

- slvrbullet87, on 03/18/2008, -4/+27A boycott from me doesnt do any good, I havent watched in 8 years
- cardshark69, on 03/18/2008, -7/+30Hey! I know that line!
in fact we all do, so shut the ***** up - Oysterville, on 03/18/2008, -10/+32Just a note that last year China was removed from list of worst offenders of human rights violations. The US must've supplanted them.
- theskyisblue, on 03/18/2008, -0/+20Dugg up for wanting to hear something besides cultist chant free tibet. The violence is sad and the whole situation is NOT GOOD; I am not saying it is otherwise. But seems a lot of people automatically fire off "free tibet" anytime something about it gets mentioned. Where are unbiased articles about the situation? I want to know more so I can make an informed opinion.
- an0nym0uz, on 03/18/2008, -0/+20which is like all of them.
- diskit, on 03/18/2008, -4/+23Hello, China? I have something you want... but it'll cost you!
That's right... ALL the tea! - inactive, on 03/18/2008, -2/+21A few hundred people are worth more than thousands of Tibetans killed through genocide?
- wedgemartin, on 03/18/2008, -0/+19I'll make a paypal donation.
- dafragsta, on 03/18/2008, -3/+22It's not an empty gesture to understand a situation and rally behind the preservation of life. It's not quite the same as neocons with support the troops ribbons who want the troops to go fight more wars. They don't support the troops, they want to overwork them and ultimately see them die.
The Tibet thing is not about hippies who need a cause to throw empty gestures at. It's a glaring example of the utter cruelty that China imposes on anyone who disapproves of the government, yet we are so financially and materially tied to China, we never acknowledge how ***** cruel they are. If that's not bad enough, they are holding the Olympics this year, which is supposed to be a beacon of global good will. Talk about an empty gesture there. - Emnsta, on 03/18/2008, -13/+31Stop ***** talking about it and do it, or shut the ***** up
Who is going to free Tibet? Huh? Just because you keep saying that, a nation is not going to automatically go, look some people are saying free Tibet, lets do it, because their opinions matter more than anything! - stretch611, on 03/18/2008, -2/+20Especially the ones that import from China.
- inactive, on 03/18/2008, -14/+32"... and no religion, too"
- kahakauai, on 03/18/2008, -14/+32P.S - ***** you suzywang
- sickrubik, on 03/18/2008, -1/+18What are you trying to tell us?
- aaapples, on 03/18/2008, -10/+27I'm sorry Tibet, I really am, but no one is going to take on a billion Communists.
- californiakevo, on 03/18/2008, -2/+18I think this transcends sports.
- DrDragun, on 03/18/2008, -0/+16The best place to start is to reaffirm that public sentiment is behind Tibetan freedom. After that is is up to the government. Not much an American or European citizen can do in this matter other than try to encourage the government to find a diplomatic solution. No we are not going to fight China in a military way. Diplomacy is the correct path.
- rficwizard, on 03/18/2008, -0/+16The Tibetans don't seem to think that China should rule them. That's good enough for me, if it's true.
- TnTBass, on 03/18/2008, -5/+21Agreed. Its a nice thought though.
