[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 183131, member: 805"] Witz, while I am personally appalled at the civil rights violations and the closed society that China represents, the Olympics represents a uniting that goes beyond politics. Surely China will gain a financial benefit. But for the thousands of hard working atheletes from around the world who train in conditions that you and I could never imagine, this gives them the opportunity to see beyond the limits of their world. It also gives the average Chinese an opportunity to see and speak with people outside their world. That's my 2 cents and I have been enjoying the games since the amazing opening on Friday night.
