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

    • Have mercy, I can't last 18 days without sleep.  
    • This might be unpopular but it would allow way more sports and quotas and cities to host at a lower cost. 
    • I think Julia Tannheimer will continue to perform so well on the flatter courses in Ruhpolding and Antholz, which will suit her technique. Oberhof will be more exciting, the courses are very demanding, but quite comparable to the World Championships in Lenzerheide. That's why I'm really looking forward to Oberhof this season. Anyone who can cope well with the courses in Oberhof should also be able to run at the front at the World Championships.
    • My IF THE OLYMPICS WERE THIS CHRISTMAS predicted medal table   17-18-12---47 15-12-7---34 13-8-8---29 11-10-7---28 9-5-7---21 8-13-3---24 7-6-9---22 6-7-6---19 6-6-9---21 6-6-5---17 5-8-6---19 3-2-4---9 2-6-4---12 2-2-4---8 2-2-3---7 1-1-3---5 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 0-3-0---3 0-1-0---1 0-0-2---2 0-0-2---2 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1
    • Thanks for your predictions, they are very interesting.   But here it will be a different format. Combined events - pairs of athletes, one male/female will perform in downhill and other will perform in slalom. E.g. Team SUI 1 Odermatt plus Meillard.
    • Interesting (optimistic) predictions for GB. Don‘t See Them winning 5 golds (more than China and as many as Canada). I think 3 golds are more Realistic (Brookes + 2 in curling/skeleton). Especially gold for Bankes seems To be a rather optimistic prediction, given that Casta is 11 years younger and just beat Bankes.
    • Medal Table (Change from 2022)    - 20 (+4)  - 13 (+1)  - 13 (+5)  - 9 (+7)  - 9 (=)  - 7 (+2)  - 7 (=)  - 6 (-2)  - 6 (-1)  - 5 (+1)  - 5 (+4)  - 4 (+1)  - 4 (-5)  - 3 (+2)  - 2 (=)  - 1 (=)  - 1 (+1)      -5,  -2,  -2,  -2, , -1, , -1, , -1 fail to male the list   On 1st glance 1 feel I have underestimated Canada, Sweden and Finland, and overestimated GB (obviously) and Netherlands.    If the Russians aren't competing then the Norwegians will have a field day in cross country skiing, but it is too early to tell.   World cups and championships aren't always the best measure for some sports but it's the best I can find.      As an overall trend I feel this will be a strong games for the European nations (home advantage) but the Asian nations might struggle, not necessarily at the extent I predicted here but I don't think their results will be as good as Beijing.
