Answers:
I keep my onions in the refrigerator. This seems to cut down on the fumes.

Other Answers:
I just cut 'em. Never had that problem.
light a candle and sit it nearby or use a food chopper if you have one. I've also heard you can put the onion in the freezer for 10-15 min prior to cutting and that will work too.
If you chill the onion in the fridge first it cuts down on the tears.
Onions don't make me cry. I just tell them, "No hard feelings, it's either me or you." And chop chop chop.
Chew a piece of bread.
After you peel the outer skin off, cut it open and run it under cool water.

WORKS EVERY TIME
Use the Cuisinart
I dont think it's possible. I saw a special on a plant where they process onions, and the employess (ones who've worked there years) said they still tear up when they initially get into the plant, but its not as much, their bodies have built a little tolerance.
frist cut thetop off and leave on the bottom run it under cold water and bite down the whole time while you are cutting i use to be a prep cook it worked for me if you do feel that your eyes are starting to feel the juices and still have alot more to cut keep runing it under water every couple of cuts but if it bothers you that bad and you have to chop alot of onions you can get a gless chopper from a tag sale for a quarter put in onion and screw on the lid chop chop chop good luck
When you are cutting a onion, cut it under water, it helps alot!
Chilling the onion definitely cuts down on some of the fumes, but you can also try draping a kitchen towel over your head (seriously.)

Also, yellow onions seem to be less pungent than white.
Light a match, put it out and wave it sround in the area you are cutting the onion. I'm not sure how or why it works but I do it and it works all the time!
Do it quick, don't dilly-dally. Rinse your hands and knife and the onion immediately.
