So many foreigners spew out “Free Tibet”, but how many actually know the true history of the region?

Very few I bet.

Even the Dali Lama has acknowledged independence is not his wish…

It’s funny that people think complaining on the internet is going to stop a dictatorship with a large army and nukes.

If you feel China’s human rights are not up to scratch then stop buying goods made in China.

If you feel China should let Tibet succeed then stop buying goods made in China.

If you feel it’s unfair that China won more Gold Medals than everyone else in the Olympics then stop buying goods made in China.

Or maybe you can do your bit by typing F@ck China on your Chinese made keyboard then use your Chinese made mouse to click the submit button that you can see on your Chinese made monitor.

lol naive, there’re more people doping than not and you can’t test for the new drugs nowadays. At that level it’s so grueling even the best needs a little boost, and there’s a specialized industry out there catering to athletes. If everybody’s on something, you gotta do it too to even things out. Yeah, that’s right. Only difference is some are scapegoated, and some aren’t.

I’m a proud Aussie as well and I have to agree with the above comment (K’s) about Phelps! The man is talented!

I’m….”Rockin’ in the FREE WORLD!”

Post 5 didn’t make sense- it’s BS. One country considers human rights- the other throws human rights out the window with their POS Communist Government. FARK China.

As for Phelps, just because he is the best Olympian ever, he must be on something? Piss off. I’m Aussie and I think he’s done brilliantly, and he’s been tested already and shown no drugs. Get off your high horse.

China blocking iTunes because of some pathetic album that was downloaded 40 times is a joke- just like the “re-education” of 2 elderly ladies who applied for official protesting after their houses were knocked down for a highway. Or the British journalist arrested and manhandled for filming/reporting some Tibetan protesters who were hanging up flags or something….

China should have never gotten the Olympics, and the IOC is a joke. China can’t even look after its own people, most of whom are below the poverty line.

Yes, you’re missing something. Open DNS won’t help you if the IP is blocked directly, instead of DNS name translation being blocked.
