The olympics…Violence

Why was china chosen as the place for the Olympics when china has a very poor human rights record.The Olympics are supposed to be a symbol of unity amongst nations. China has blocked nations from participating solely based on their political beliefs. All problems with Tibet aside china is a poorly governed country, Im not bashing china here i like the Chinese culture but i disagree strongly with its government. I would likely be arrested in china for saying this. Is this really were a symbol for peace an unity should be held? And then there was the recent shooting/suicide all things considered violence will accompany the Olympics but i think your just asking for trouble when you choose china to house the Olympics.

I do not mean to offend anyone from china with this blog if i have offended you i am really and truly sorry it is not so much the country and its people i have problems with its the communist government.
