On Self Righteousness
I honestly can’t believe the stuff I’m reading on the news these days regarding the Olympics.
And what irritates me more is the obvious arrogance of all of the protesters.
The Olympics is supposed to be an event for the world to get together and compete, not have some morons get together protesting to inflate their own self-righteous world-saving egos believing that they’re making a difference.
Obviously provoking the Chinese government with flashy displays of handcuffs and claims about human rights is:
a) Beneficial!
b) Relevant to the Olympics
What protesters are doing is equivalent to terrorism. Obviously provoking the Chinese government isn’t going to help anything. If you want to help people you don’t tell them they’re pieces of shit and try to destroy other people’s lives and international events for public stunts.
Yes, obviously if someone shoots someone, you should shoot someone else in retort. Violence only begets violence.
What irks me more is that self-righteous arrogant attitude, though. Because people are so damn selfish they only see what they want to see, and only care about what they want to care about.
No one really cares about being productive. What the hell is boycotting the Olympics going to change anything?
So many horrible things have already happened in China, but is getting arrested to inflate your ego going to change anything? It’s just adding oil to the fire.
People are so dumb.
Yeah, great you made a statement on public display. You attention whored in front of the whole world. Thank you, oh great savior. Reality check –
Lives Saved Count: 0
You wanna save someone? Actually save them. Don’t be an attention whore, because then, it starts to become all about you, and your righteousness. While the real lives in suffering are being ignored. So it’s boycotted. So you complain. Everyone already knows everything you’re saying. What difference does it make? All I see is media and publicity, I see no real change. Where do I see “The actions of protesters against the Olympics has saved the lives of millions of Tibetans!”?
Do you -really- think it’s going to do anything? Are you really going to make a change? And if not, then why are you doing it?

Wow, strong words. I guess some people really do want to use the Olympics to hopefully encourage change. I can see the reasoning. I do agree that it will probably cause little good however.
There is no reasoning,these are actions by confused people.If they want to make a statement boycott China and thier products.Show China by example,not by the same behavior.
