So nobody can't claim I just made this up and whine about that, and such (you know who you are too)
I can solve this problem. I can name this tune in two notes. This'n is easy.
Y'see, all you Sanny Fanny nutjobs and mishaps of DNA, they's somethin' y'all need t'git to unnerstandin here. It's right elementary, but it 'pears ain't nobody bothered to let you in on it. So allow me to do it.
Pay 'tention now...
IT AIN'T ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!
*whew*
Y'see Tad, it's like this here. You can disagree with China's role in Tibet all you like. No problem there. You can voice your displeasure over it down to th' Starbucks every day to anybody else ignernt enough to pay $20 for coffee until yer little heart bursts. Not one problem there. You can even write you one of them letters to th' editor about it. Call talk radio. Circulate you a petition. Hold meetins for all yer minivan soccer mom buddies to bring brownies to. I don't really care how much a tizzy you twist y'self into over it. It's all fine and dandy.
But.
They's other people in this world too. Some of us ain't tied our 'testines up in knots over Tibet. Some of us recognize the symbolism of the Olympic torch. Some of us would like for our children to have the once in a lifetime chance to see it pass by. WITHOUT you and Bruce and Kneel-n-Bob and all the rest of you making a complete mockery of the event just to gain you a little blip of recognition.
In your monumental arrogance, you DEMAND that EVERYONE sit up and take notice of YOUR agenda.
Fuck you. (NOT an offer by the way, so back off bub)
So I propose to solve the problem right quick like. They said in the story that the torch was being treated like a visiting dignitary. Most times, they got snipers posted to ensure nothing happens to visiting dignitaries. So let's just blow you assholes to Hell when you decide to interrupt things for your own little reasons. I bet we won't have to kill more than two of you. (They's always one dumbass who don't figure it out the first time...) The greater good gets served, the squeaky wheel gets greased (down boy, I never said greased UP), and yer little froggie buddies over yonder in Surrenderland whar Paris is at (the city not the whore) gets to see what might be waitin on them too.
I fully expect the resident bandaged primate to shred this and ask a bunch of silly questions and evade any attempt at discussion. Why would anything change? So be it. I'll not post in this thread again. I said all I wanted to the first time. Anybody who thinks their little crusade is bigger than the whole or more important than allowing other people to witness history unmolested by a bunch of fruits with collective panty-wad issues can kiss each and every square acre of my rosy red ass. Tibet may well need assistance. They don't need this shit though.
Rip away.
More protests expected as torch reaches San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Olympic torch arrived for its only North American stop amid heavy security Tuesday, one day after its visit to Paris descended into chaos and activists here scaled the Golden Gate Bridge to protest China's human rights record.
Meanwhile, International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said the committee would consider ending the international leg of the Beijing Olympic torch relay because of anti-Chinese protests.
Rogge told The Associated Press he was "deeply saddened" by violent protests in London and Paris and concerned about the upcoming torch relay in San Francisco, where activists expressed fears Monday that the torch's planned route through Tibet would lead to arrests and violent measures by Chinese officials trying to stifle dissent.
The flame arrived in San Francisco shortly before 4 a.m. Tuesday and was put in a vehicle to be whisked to an undisclosed location, San Francisco Olympic Torch Relay Committee spokesman David Perry said. No protesters were seen at the airport, but security was heightened because a several demonstrations were planned before the torch's six-mile relay Wednesday, including a relay supporting Tibetan independence.
"We treated it like a head of state visit," airport spokesman Mike McCaron said.
Three people climbed the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday and tied the Tibetan flag and two banners to its cables. The banners read "One World One Dream. Free Tibet," and "Free Tibet 08."
The bridge protest's organizers said they would remain faithful to their mission of protesting peacefully during the torch relay. They said they wanted to take full advantage of the international spotlight to get their message out.
"This is a life-or-death situation for Tibetans," said Yangchen Lhamo, an organizer of the banner-hanging who is on the board of directors of Students for a Free Tibet.
The California Highway Patrol said authorities would not try to go get the protesters who perched themselves on the Golden Gate Bridge out of concern for their safety.
Also Monday, Olympic organizers canceled the final leg of the Paris run after demonstrators scaled the Eiffel Tower, grabbed for the flame and forced security officials to repeatedly snuff out the torch and transport it by bus past demonstrators. China condemned the protests as "despicable" but vowed to continue the relay to the end.
Rogue said the IOC's executive board would discuss ending the international leg in a meeting Friday.
After San Francisco, the torch is scheduled to travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and then to a dozen other countries. It is scheduled to enter mainland China on May 4 for the host country's portion of the relay.
San Francisco officials said they were developing a plan that strikes a balance between protesters' rights to express their views and the city's ability to host a safe torch ceremony.
U.S. Olympic Committee Chairman Peter Ueberroth said in a statement the event was "an important moment for the city to show its character, hospitality and commitment to peace and tolerance."
"It must provide a proper forum for the peaceful expression of opinions and dissent. And it must safely and respectfully welcome the flame and honor the U.S. athletes and other participants who will carry the torch," Ueberroth said.
