Fuck Tibet. Why should I support a resistance movement that wants to reinstall some holier-than-thou asshole so he can live in his palace eating grapes and pussy all day, while his 'subjects' starve under an equally oppressive caste system?

Tibet has always been a part of China, yes, even before the 1950s. I don't support either side, and it's none of my god damn business. I'm sure as hell not going to advocate the United States straining it's relationship even further with China by boycotting the Olympics over this silly shit.

fuck China and the US.  Tibet can be whatever they fuckin' want who is anyone to tell them otherwise.  Tibet isn't owned by anyone.  Someone could say that NH is part of the United States, it falls within the imaginary lines. 

It's all ridiculous.  Tibet should be free. . . but so should China and the US.

'Kay, tell that to the Chinamen with guns.

I'll probably tell it to everyone I feel like, including the chinks.  I told that to the chinese food restuaurant yesterday.  They said "yes very good"

They just wanted your money.

Anyone else been enjoying watching the olympics?  Good stuff.

I did watch some today, the start of the bicycling event, what I saw was-

Near desolate streets, with what appeared to be guards everywhere. Groups of people were far away from the streets where the cyclists were.

I thought it must have been a rainy day, until the announcer said that there had been "some trouble with smog and haze".

I had envisioned Beijing as a more happenin' place.. but it looked like any downtown area anywhere. Some new-ish looking sculptures could be seen whizzing by n the background at times.. probably a few hundred thousand dollars here and there spent to show the world how civil a place Beijing is..

Mostly, I don't care about sporting events. I like the concept of the olympics, but I'm not excited by the games.

After a ceremony filled with so much subtle symbolism, this looked like an extreme gesture that everyone was pretending not to notice.  I've also noticed that the kid didn't join big flag-bearer Yao Ming until several seconds after they were out the gate, some lady held him by the hand and they ran to catch up.  But due to cultural differences the upside-down flag probably doesn't mean the same thing...


(I noticed this myself just now, when I finally torrented the opening ceremony, but VLC wasn't playing nice with the Windows PrtSc, so I decided I probably wasn't the first and Googled it instead...)

It started pretty good, and really hit the nail on the head when it started into the United States, but then it started getting really lefty paranoid.  But then, it appears to be a left-paranoid site.
