How many have their tv's off and or not watching the opening ceremony in support of the people of Tibet and Darfur?

Answer 1

PROPAGANDA LOL!!!!!!!!!

lemme guess your tibetan

XD almost ALL protesters are TIBETAN

Answer 2

I am not watching it because I never watched it before. As for the games itself I will watch the sports I enjoy. I am not going to penalize the athletes for China. Yes I agree China should have never been awarded the games. Their limits on the press have shown that they are not changing as they say they are.  

Answer 3

I'm sure you not watching the Olympics will have NO affect on China's policy.  Try actually doing something about it if you're that upset, turning off your tv is nothing.

Answer 4

Tibetans = violent b******s.

Answer 5

Up to 3-4 BILLION (with a "B") people around the world will watch at least some of the olympics. As if a few people like yourself would make any diffrence. It's not that you don't have the right to express your opinion, but seriously, it's not going to have an impact. I don't think very many people will be boycotting.  

Answer 6

What you are doing is a cause in thin air.

Tibet:

The Economist; Miles in Tibet account of 3.16:

Are you EVEN sure you are at a right cause. But the bigger issue: Tibetans have legitimate grievances about not having enough help in competition for jobs and in business with the Han or h*i migrants. Market forces have also exacerbated income and wealth differentials, and rampant corruption.

I guess you are the group of people who trust of what Tibetan in exile said is true but how can they be true if they can't even count the death numbers of the 1950-1959. 1.2 million!!! Even London based Tibetan activist said it's a gross exaggeration: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/22/opinio...

Answer 7

I'm not boycotting,just not bothered.Sport bores me.Dont know what is going on in Tibet and Darfur anyways.

Answer 8

the opening ceremony is amazing!! so far.

Answer 9

so am I.

Answer 10

I watch the ceremony. Tibet is internal China business.

The boycott won't change the situation anyway.

Answer 11

You can delete me if you wish but please "get a life". This is the Olympics not bloody political meeting time. Politics and differences should be put aside for this international event. Honestly some of you people'd bash a dog if it wasn't shitting on the right side of the lawn!

Answer 12

i'm not watching, either. i still can't believe they're holding the games in beijing.
