I have never had the crying thing happen to me, guess I just am different but I have been told if you light a candle next to it you wont have the problem

Other Answers:
put it in water for half an hour before
cut next to open flame the ie the stove while cooking... and use a sharp knife... less cells get disrupted

the water idea works but found you lose flavour, sorry but if you want to have the falvour then you have just got to put up with it.
this may sound stupid but its a proven fact that chewing gum whilst cutting onions prevents any tears and the burning feeling, i always do it!

me obviously..
soak them in ice water for 5 minutes
we used hundreds and sliced them on the slicer and it worked for me
Cut the onoin in half first. Then rub some lemon across the cut section before you continue. The citrus in the lemon nuetralizes the offending vapors from the union, then you are free to cut the onion without tears.
wear swimming goggles! It might sound silly but if the fumes can't get to your eyes then they can't make them water
i have read in the website, use chewing gum while cutting onion, its a fact i dont know its true or not just try it
After peeling the outer skin, place the onions in the urn of an onion processor. Place the top on and close firmly. Start pushing down on the chopping handle until you chop onions to the desired consistency. Voila, onions with no more tears! ;)
Keep your onions in the fridge (or at least put them in the freezer for 10 minutes before cutting) - being cool means the oils which irritate the eyes are less likely to become vapour droplets.

Wearing swimming goggles can also help but is not perfect (and you look silly)

put some rok salt on the side while cutting onions ;) it will work trust me.
YOU CAN USE THE WATER METHOD AS MENTIONED ABOVE BUT THE BEST WAY IS JUST GET USED TO IT AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL STOP AND YOU CAN CUT AS MANY ONIONS AS YOU LIKE AND LAUGH AT YOUR FRIENDS WHO ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM YOU ARE HAVING. ESPECIALLY FUNNY WITH WOMEN AND MASCARA HEHE
Put them in the refrigerator for an hour before cutting.
Cut them under cold running water

this sounds stupid but put a spoon in your mouth and suck it while your cutting the onion, it works for me.
scoop out your eyeballs with a red hot rusty fork???
or just dont eat onions.
Keep the root on until you've finished cutting the rest, hold/suck on a metal teaspoon whilst cutting it, use sharp knife, keep it in fridge until ready to chop

Burn a candle right next to your work space. Someone once told me that the candle flame will burn off all the chemicals that the onion produces as you chop. I tried it, and lo and behold, it worked. I have done this many, many times and it's simple and effective.
When i was young, i was told to cut onions to help in the kitchen and i was told to stick one peeled onion in front of the knife before i slice the others, but to my dismay, i still have a bit of crying done..Into my adulthood, i started to understand that, if i have a fan switched on to my back while i cut the onions, i do not get the sting cos the thing that causes my eyes to sting is blown away by the fan to the other side.. so i do not get onion cutting cries anymore, why don't you try my method and see what happens.. Good Luck
I have a small electric food chopper, which not only keeps your eyes dry when chopping onions, but saves much work and time. You can use it for chopping anything from nuts to vegitables. It's easy to clean, just throw the bowl and blade in the dishwasher. I love it. Of all my kitchen appliances, this gets the most use. They are very inexpensive. You can pick one up at Target for under $20.00.

Hope this helps!
