This is a discussion that needs to be had (especially in the context of China's Olympic agenda), and I think it is reasonable for anyone to speak up about things so that people will at least think about them intelligently, and make a decision.<BR/><BR/>All too often power goes unchallenged, ideas unchallenged, and people suffer more because of it. <BR/><BR/>IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT FREEING TIBET, it's about treating tibetans like HUMAN BEINGS who have a right to live freely, determine their government, thrive economically, maintain their culture freely, and not fear their lives. I don't see how this should continue to go unseen. We can't let China sweep Tibetans under the rug... <BR/><BR/>Apathy is an indirect form of supporting oppression, violence, and exploitation. No one deserves this arbitrarily begotten destiny...SEAweaslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855174263381951942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626735100830550390.post-58679009735007396422007-04-28T16:12:00.000-07:002007-04-28T16:12:00.000-07:00Firstly, I am responding not to start an argument ...Firstly, I am responding not to start an argument but to engage in a meaningful discussion.<BR/><BR/>I think the SFTers have done a superb job. They did not protest to stop the games or the torch, but rather to bring light to the ways China is trying to legitimize its occupation of Tibet in the eyes of the world media. China wants to use the media coverage of Olympics for their political agenda, however the SFTers have outsmarted Chinese authorities in playing the game that China started but in a way so that it favors the Tibetans. <BR/><BR/>I don't think IOC cares about Tibet or China, what they care about is to make money off the Olympics and continue the tradition of their games. So in turn IOC is using China and vice versa to benifit each other. <BR/><BR/>The games is an opportunity to show the brutality of the Chinese government and their rule of terror in Tibet. Media attention is a way to get the message out, what's more important is the timing. With the games time will be on our side if we know how to take proper actions. <BR/><BR/>BODH GYALOTenzin Yangdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723253811466292892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626735100830550390.post-11623732233096543712007-04-27T12:26:00.000-07:002007-04-27T12:26:00.000-07:00Ok so this has been all over the news today. What ...Ok so this has been all over the news today. What is it really going to achieve other then piss of the Chinese, and get some media attention. You think the IOC really cares about Tibet...ya sure. It seems like something college students would do without thinking about the result. Don't get me wrong...as a Tibetan, I would love to have done something like this...but I though His Holiness and the government of Tibet were now fighting for a Independent state??? <BR/>How is this protest going to help that cause?...How is it going to help the people in Tibet? Is it going to change the games? How long will it last in the media before it's a forgotten story? How is it going to effect others who want to travel to Tibet to help different causes? Why are we using the games to bring attention to a dream of a free Tibet? I guess in the end the one thing it def did do is get some Media attention. So is this what the cause of a free Tibet has become? A neglected stepchild that nobody cares about,who is just hungry for attention? So now that you have the attention of the world for another couple of days, what DO YOU HAVE TO SAY OTHER THAN <BR/>"FREE TIBET?"...sorry it just pisses me off when people make a circus to grab he attention of the media, and after a couple of days the media just moves on...and all we are left with is a circus. <BR/>-olakahaholaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
