Answers:
Let someone else do the cutting for you.

Other Answers:
run them under cold water, every few cuts and believe it or not chew on a toothpick, it really works
i know it sounds silly but i always wear sunglasses it doesn't stop it completely but it certainly helps!
i've heard chew gum...or place the onions in a plastic bag and cut them that way..
very sharp knife
put them in the freezer 30 min b4 cutting
Try cutting them under running water.
u dont cut them or get somebody else too!=)
get someone else to do it ..lol
After peeling their skin off, dip them in cold water. Most of the fizz will be absorbed by the water. You can also wear swimming goggles. It's funny but it works!
The first answer is correct, but may I suggest milk instead of water...
put a piece of bread between your teeth while cutting the onions
freeze them for 30 minutes before cutting
Block your nose. use a cloths pin or something. It works.
onions are drawn to moisture, you can slice them in a bowl in the sink with the water running or have a glass of water sitting close to where your chopping onion's.if real strong add some lemon juice to the water

try your best to breathe in through your mouth and out through your nose while cutting onions.

I've tried this and it works! Has to do with keeping the onion air away from your nasal passage which connects to your eye/tear ducts in some way... (I'm no anatomy expert but it's something like that!)
where swimming googels.
Try running them in water for some time and then cut them.Or chew some gum while cutting them (there is no proof of this method working).
wrap them it in a paper towel then cut
Use a V slicer, my m8 Jack told me to put this he is here now
A very sharp knife. What happens when you cut an onion is the mechanical pressure of a dull knife (coupled with a chopping motion) crushes the cells at the cut site. This releases sulphides when turn into gases and get into your eyes and turns into sulphuric acid, which causes the burning sensation. By using a very sharp knife and a slicing motion rather than a chopping motion, you minimize the amount of sulphides released because you're reducing the amount of cells that are crushed.
i'd wash em after skinning it....ive even used googles once...but it actually worked..but i thought that is u smell em ...u'd cry..but i never knew blocking ur eyes out wif suction could work...now my goggles are broken...:-(
What you do is get a large enough bowl to fit the onion and your hand in.
Then you just put the onion in and cut it while it is submerged in the water.
TRY IT! It really works.
Chill them overnight in the refrigerator.
Breath with ur mouth and chew sth. like gum but toothpick or a match works the best
put the onion in the chop blender
one of the two

cut them under the cold tap
or
but them in the fridge before cutting them
the easieast is to put a fan in front of u. if u dont have a fan and u r still tearing, stick ur head in the freezer and keep ur eyes open. thats what we do in the restaurant
during the cutting them look at the water!
