Have you watched the torch relays in London and Paris? I hate those anti-Tibet protests.

China didn't start occupying Tibet until 1949, with the 17 point agreement being imposed in 1951.

Ummm, Tibet has been part of China since the Yuan Dynasty. It only became "free" after the fall of the imperial system in 1912, when all of China
pretty much became ungovernable.
And even in the 1912-1950 period Tibet was a theocracy ruled by the Dalai Lama and a small number of lords. The bulk of the population were serfs. If thats your idea of a free Tibet...

I would say that was freer than the cultural genocide that has been happening there under the rule of the Chinese.

What cultural genocide? Just cuz the Dalai Lama isnt there doesnt mean any culture is being destroyed.
Just means there isn't a religious dictatorship anymore. |

I have learned much from his holiness The Dalai Lama.
I have deep respect and admiration for this man and much sympathy and sorrow for the plight of his people. But I'm not giving up Greco-Roman wrestling. Sorry. |

If the other countries will boycott the games, The world should stop the unrest in Tibet and Darfur.

Stupid-head Tibet protesters are stealing all the limelight from the nudists who are protesting to get the Olympics to be held in the nude as the original
Olympics were.
