[horner]

I bet at least 3/4 of the people that protest do it because it's the "cool' thing to do.

 

[Clifford996]

nope your wrong... the torch arrive today, its gunna be running tomorrow

 

[Gavajabra]

Yeah I heard protesters were trying to put it out with fire extinguishers

 

[horner]

I was just trying to make the point that it's kind of the news story of the week, and if it wasn't, a lot of people probably wouldn't care as much, or be aware of the problem. Not trying to say that people don't genuinely care.

 

[Reed.S]

haha yea

 

[KRASHED]

You know people, reading or watching the news really isn't that hard so I bet many of the protesters will actually be legit. As long as your heads not up your ass this is a huge issue, what the Olympic Flame stands for is not being reflected upon the current and past situations in not only Tibet but China itself.

 

[Skiingslikewhoa]

I think protesting the Olympics is kinda stupid it stands against everything the games are supposed to stand for. Countries are supposed to put aside their differences and just compete.

 

[skijunkiedtm]

could some one please explain to me what the controversy is and why there are protesters?

 

[Meh42]

China, the host of this year's games, has a nasty tendency of oppressing small neighboring states.

Specifically though, they're protesting China's latest actions in Tibet.
