I am just a young boy, trying to make sense of the world i am living in.

Nope, this is definitely NOT the starting of my self-introduction.

What i am trying to say is, am i living in a mad world?

Right before me, i am living in a world dominated by weirdos who insisted on waging unconventional wars against normal people, prompting the so-called "leader" of the normal people to wage a conventional war against them, hence plaguing the already very messy world into a even messier state. And look who is suffering at the end? The pathetic group of normal people who is not involved yet they have to bear the end consequences. Have we not learned enough from the previous world wars? Must we go through the painful process of wars after wars before we finally understand that war, no matter conventionally or unconventionally, is something that will damage humankind and no one stands to gain any thing?

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is round the corner and the symbolic Olympic Flame is making its way around the globe. However, the Flame met with a lot of trouble during the way, with supporters of various campaigns advocating Tibet's freedom holding protests in the cities the Flame will pass through. What saddens me is that the Flame was almost hijacked at Paris. What is the world coming to?

In my honest opinion, and note, i am not going to be kind with words here, i feel the protests are absolutely rubbish, a waste of time and i seriously look down on the people who took part in the protests. The Olympic Games is a major sporting event celebrating the best in sports and it is an honour for any country to host it. So, why bloodly disturb it? Sure, you may be displeased with China's response regarding the protests in Tibet or disappointed with their poor human rights record. But hey, can't you wait for the Olympic Games to end before starting your protests? Disturbing the Flame is really, a very childish thing to do.

What makes me want to laugh out loud is that there are people who are foolish enough to create campaigns calling for the boycotting of Chinese goods. My goodness, are you sure? Before you start to stop buying Chinese goods, take a look around your house and identify the Chinese goods. If you are serious about boycotting Chinese goods, you should throw away all the Chinese goods in your house. Don't forget to look at the clothes you are wearing too. My guess is, at the end of the day, what is left in your house may be just you, naked.

Now i understand why people are not giving birth. Nah, it is not the pain. It is because they don't want to bring another life into this mad world. And boy, we better wake up before the human race is classified under endangered species of the world.
