Other Answers:
Soak them in water before cutting them.
this is a little strange, but it works!!
put a little bit of water in your mouth.
Cut the onions, then spit out the water.
Try filling up ur sink with water and cutting them underwater.
underwater, or with your eyes closed
cut it under water
You either cut them under water (in a bowl filled with water) or next to a fan that blows the smell away from your face.
wear goggles?
Try these:
*
Keep the root on while peeling and chopping. A variation of this is to cut from the top leaving the root end intact until the last cut!
*
Be in a well-ventilated place and cut fast!
*
Use a good, sharp chef's knife. It glides through the onion with ease, allowing less of the compounds that cause tears to come out.
*
Wear a pair of safety goggles or a cheap, disposable painter's mask.
*
Put a slice of bread in your mouth, with half of it sticking out to "catch" the fumes.
*
Put some white vinegar on the chopping board before cutting.
*
Burn a candle immediately adjacent to where you're cutting. The tear-causing gas is drawn toward the heat source.
*
Purchase pre-chopped onions.
I have found that wearing a good pair of lab goggles and biting on a lemon wedge helps to reduce the tears.
Well if you want NO irritation and don't mind looking like Dexter from Dexters lab, the easy, 100% effective way is to throw on a pair of swimming goggles!
you let the onions soak in water for 5 minutes
get some goggles and cut the onion in the sink with the water running

own experience
u just have to breath thru your mouth and not thru your nose. it helps for me.
I heard that you can light a match to get rid of the onion fumes and you can keep a fan running near you as well.
put the onoin in the freezer to get cold first.
Put them in a chopper and close the lid. then chop.
You can freeze the onoins first or you can cut the top part of the onion and put on your head while you cut them. It souns weird but it works
I've tried the water thing....tried lighting a cigarette and leaving it in an ashtray while cutting onions. I haven't found a solution for it yet (that works)
get someone else to cut the onions for you. Just joking check out the foodnetwork.com and watch real chefs show you how to cut items.

Have someone else cut them!
or you can:
hold a wooden match in you mouth while you cut them.
use a very sharp knife, cuts them quikly and NO TEARS
Slice the root end off first.
well u really can't and anyway they r very healthy caise u cry its like u r taking all the bacteria out
cut or peel under water
CUT THEM IN THE SINK AND TURN ON THE WATER AND VOILA
Actually it isn't the onions fault. The reason for your crying is the fact you are using a dull knife. The cell walls of the onion have an enzyme in it called lachrymatory-factor synthase. When a dull knife rips them open you get tears. Try and shrapen your knife and I guarentee the onion will not make you cry.
There are too many questions regarding cut onions without crying, check the previous.
just put the onion in the chop blend
this sounds stupid but hang bread from your mouth when cutting them or wet the onions first
