What is Free Tibet?
1.
A phrase uttered by those completely ignorant of history. Little does the speaker know that the Dalai Lama's reign in Tibet was plagued with slavery and abuse of his people, so long as they weren't Gelug Tibetan Buddhists (the Dalai Lama's sect).
Ignorant Protester: Free Tibet!
Intelligent man/woman: While Chinese rule in Tibet has been bad, it's nothing compared to what Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, did to Tibet
Ignorant Protester: The government is messing with your hand man! You don't know nothing dude!

An over used catchphrase especially in the West. See
Im not pro China and its undeniable that China has a poor track record when it comes to human rights.
However, 99 out of 100 people ever used this catchphrase is either oblivious of the true situation in Tibet, or refuses to acknowledge the fact that in other parts of the world, human rights abuse perpetrated by the American government is far worse. Not forgetting the body count of course.
Usage of this term is particularly popular with attention-hungry
Redneck :
Those friggin chinks! President Bush should liberate Tibet the American way- by sending our kids over there and killing every single chink! Free Tibet !
Someone with brains :
Lets not forget Iraq, Afghanistan and West Bank. Just because China does not have major interests in those places doesnt mean the people there dont deserve any international attention.
Redneck :
Screw them!

A conglomeration of pint-sized celebrities, liberal college students, crappy music artists, teens with no life, and boy-loving monks who are devoted to "freeing Tibet" fro Chinese rule, even though they know that they're protests won't do shit, and that the Dalai Lama is a corrupt old bastard in gucci shoes. The Free Tibet idiots are darlings of the media but are also real eyesores during the 2008 Olympic Games, as they pathetically attempted to assault the torch runners.
Free Tibet? I'll take it! -Peter Griffin
