No matter what kind of a day you are having, it is not as bad as these people’s.

 


 

A Chelsea mansion worth £8.5million has collapsed during mega-basement construction work in the heart of the celebrity-filled suburb.

Not the first time this has happened.  Most of London is made of soft clay underneath.

European leaders will probably just watch and wont do anything while innocent citizens lose their lives. 

In these days i feel like we are living in Somalia. Vienna, Paris, Madrid, London... every city in Europe is in danger.I am affraid that Europe already lost this battle.

While i hoped that immigrants would accept our values, it turned out that some of them are extremely millitant and wont settle until they transform Europe in a way they like.

The guy who beheaded the French teacher was from Russia and one of the guys in Vienna was from Macedonia ... not sure how you get Somalia „vibes“ from that. Also not sure what you mean with „Europe already lost“. There are a lot of things that can be done, but no country will ever completely eliminate terrorism.

Somalia is a dangerous country in a sense that any person can lose his/her life just by going to school, shop, work. 24/7 there is a constant treat to security. I am finding similarity with Europe. People go to music hall and they lose their lives. Innocent bystander can lose life because of some extremist.

I agree with the second part. At least i hope there is a space for improvement. But reactions from our governments are slow and late so i am not so sure that we will win this fight. 

Living in Europe with permanent treat of terrorism isnt something i expected.

How does a tiny country like Slovakia have enough capacities to test all those people on one weekend?

I find it hilarious the Vienna killer was a detained terrorist who was released from prison because he allegedly possessed no threat to society anymore :lol:

Yeah ... really funny. I am sure all the family members of the victims can’t stop laughing.

How is the situation different in Canada, the US or New Zealand for example?

To be exact he wasn't russian he was Chechen "Chechen attempts to regain independence in the 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union have led to the first and the second war with the new Russian state, starting in 1994." they are muslim athnis group who want to become a 
 state and seek for a sharija law'd country

    • OFC qualifiers   American Samoa   reach the final stage of qualifiers for the first time.  Oceania’s lowest ranked nation, after won the first round in November, with two won in two matches of second round, now through to the third round.   New Zealand also through to April's third round after two won (both for  8-0)        
    • US consulte in Dubai    
    • I will try for Croatia:    Archery (1) : we never had a representative, but were two times very close. I think we have a chance in Recurve for a single male quota, and in mixed compound,  Realistic one quota    Athletics (8) : difficult as many things will change in the next 2-3 seasons, but let's. say 8, I think that could be a realistic number   Badminton (1) : hopefully our Indonesian import will manage to qualify     Basketball (0): small chances in both male and 3x3 male teams , but somehow I doubt it    Boxing (2): two male quotas    Canoe slalom (1). maybe with a small chance for two places, but one is realistic    Canoe sprint (1): similar to slalom, maybe two, but one is realistic, but lets see how the new qualification system plays out    Cycling (2): would bee very happy with a quota in BMX freestyle and male road race    Diving (1): hoping that Matej Nevescanin will qualify    Fencing (0): very small chance in mens foil, but I guess will not happen.    football (0): there is always talks about our male team, but never succeeded, I am afraid will be the same for LA 2028    Artistic gymnastics (4): Kovtun plus two additional male quotes plus one female   Handball (14): the mens team should qualify    Judo (5): four female quota plus one male    Rowing (5). difficult to say as boats/crews are not defined yet. But I expect 4 mens places plus 1 female. Maybe more, but let see    Sailing (6): somehow not a good development in this sports, could be even less than 6 quotas.    Shooting (5): hopefully two trap and two male rifle quotas plus one surprise    Swimming (6): will be brave here and say 5 male plus one female. I think we have a realistic chance to qualify a freestyle relay.    Table tennis (5): hope for 3 male and two female quotas incl. mixed doubles (Arapovic/Ban)   Tennis (6): still too early, and always the question who is really interested in playing.   Taekwondo (3): I am seeing two females plus one male qualifying   Waterpolo (11): mens team should be safe, small chance for our women's team.   Wrestling (1) considering the Russian expansion, one quota would be great     in all other sports hopeless case for Croatia. But 88 would be a great delegation, probably too optimistic
