Can someone enlighten me to as why it's such a big deal? It's a torch. That's all. I was watching Have I Got News For You and the Police wear tackling and beating people who touch it. Not that I watch the Olympic Games anyway, but I want to know. |

A lot of people are protesting China being allowed the Olympic Flame due to its human rights record. The flame is the symbol of the Olympics, hence people are disrupting it as a stand. It also doesn't help that China has been instigating violence in Tibet, which wishes for autonomy... |

It's George Bush's idea of preventing Global Warming, add a candle instead of floodlights, nice one. ;) |

Why can't 'regular' people carry it together? Isn't it about Unity of the countries? Or is it just to see which country has a bigger penis now? |

Well I don't see whats really important about the Olympics, all people do here is complain that GB doesn't get anything. Plus I resent the fact of London 2012 as it's using the taxpayers money when knowing the arcitects London usually gets will probably means that all the stadiums and the like will be finished 5 years after the Olympics and extremely over budget. |

For a tiny fraction of that they could make a nice little town, round up homeless peopel and let them live there. Nobody needs to know they have free accomodation. It's just to get them on their feet. |

I was watching Have I Got News For You last night. :p When it reached Argentina, Diego Maradonna refused to hold the Olympic Torch because he was afraid it would hurt his football hand. :^0 |

I was going to do that, Cieran. But, with all seriousness, I was talking about this with my Dad a few days ago, and he came up with a similar answer to Cieran's. |
