Daily Douchebag: Free Tibet activists
DOB: 1951, upon incorporation of Tibet into the PRC
Occupation: annoying people, rioting, stunts
Hometown: wherevs
Current residence: the Golden Gate Bridge
Douchebaggery: That "Free Tibet" crap has always annoyed me. Sure, the commies running China are dicks about preserving Tibetan culture and that sucks, but I don't need the fucking Beastie Boys lecturing me sanctimoniously about it. Granted, my knowledge of Tibetan culture comes from that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where that hot piece Marian literally drinks some fat sherpa under the table and retains sufficient wit to banter flirtatiously with Smith College professor Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones and fight off a horde of archaeologically-minded Nazis trying to steal her medallion doohickey that points out the location of the Ark of the Covenant. Oh shit, that was Nepal. Oops.
Anyway, I thought most of that Free Tibet stuff had gone out of vogue, much like analog television or MySpace or protesting about the women in Afghanistan. Now with the Beijing Olympics approaching, however, I'm once again reminded that there's this pain-in-the-ass occupied country called Tibet and hippies are pissed that the Dalai Lama can't creep everyone out with his child molester glasses there.
However, now the Free Tibet scene isn't about Rage Against the Machine concerts and self-righteous college students so much as it is about angry Tibetans and their supporters taking the Olympics-related world media attention as a cue to get extreme with their protests. That means dudes are getting their riot on in major cities from Lhasa to Paris, and doing ridiculous bullshit like scaling the Golden Gate Bridge ahead of the Olympic torch to hang homemade Free Tibet signs. Yeah, I'm sure the Chinese government is going to get right on giving Tibet its independence that thanks to a bunch of peace-disturbing unemployed losers attacking the Olympic torch with fire extinguishers and some assholes with climbing gear fucking with traffic. I know that these most recent protests have convinced me of two things: Free Tibet assholes have too much time on their hands and come up with stupid ideas for media whoring. They should fall off the Golden Gate Bridge and do us all a favor. Fuck Tibet.

What did Tibet do, other than get annexed by a repressive regime that massacres anyone that disagrees with it? In Tibet (or China, for that matter), you would have already been shot and your organs harvested. For someone who just spent a month crying (literally) about free speech, your position on this matter is very hypocritical. And that's a hippy-hating, generally-doesn't-care-about-Tibet, self-professed reactionary's opinion.
The Chinese are not to be trusted. Fuck the Chinese, and fuck the Beijing Games.

As for the protesters, more power to them. There is no other way to voice opposition to China's policies; there will certainly be no opportunity to do so in Beijing, as it would almost guarantee imprisonment, torture, and execution. San Francisco should be ashamed of itself for participating in the promotion of the charade that is the torch run. These games are reminiscent of '38.
We should be thankful that we live in a country that allows people to openly criticize its government; its too bad more people don't exercise that blessed opportunity. China needs to know that few of us are falling for their propaganda. Boycott the games.

How am I being hypocritical? I said the Free Tibet people are annoying fucktards, not that they should be censored. They're free to continue wasting everyone's time by disrupting the torch relay and pulling other pointless, irritating shenanigans.
Yes, by all means, lets boycott the Olympics. Never mind the fact that the majority of the products in your house say "Made in China." But you're right, there's no better way to show China how we feel about their policies than to boycott an international sports competition. And the United States government owes way too much money to China to even seriously consider boycotting the Olympics.

How do you know what products are in my house? As for what the US owes, should I base my international policy positions on what America's financial dealings may be? Despite the lucrative trade ties between China and Germany, Merkel has already pledged to skip the opening ceremonies, (after her decision, the Chinese government informed Mercedes Benz that their import license had mysteriously been "misplaced", and that they wouldn't be allowed to sell their cars in China until it was found). Morality can be expensive.
Further, I never made the claim that boycotting the games was the only nor "best" way to voice displeasure with China's policies, so check you straw-man arguments at the door, shut you simpering pie-hole, and try to formulate an argument that isn't full of fallacy, you ChiCom apologist.

Those Free Tibet fuckers are annoying with a capital FUCK OFF. How about the fact that the Dalai Lama owned slaves up until 2006? And I could go on... but I need to eat some pussy so I'm gonna jet.
