Don´t get it, why you mentioned me ? :lol:

I wanted to reference someone jokingly, and a knee Slovakia (and Czechia) are super Christian.

Isn't Halloween supposed to be scary? Or is he doing it to say Jesus is scary or what? :p 

No, WW2 and more importantly Vietnam, ruined that. Americans can’t be scared by monsters, when they’ve seen worse from people. At least that’s the leading theory on why horror changed to a human focus, and why Halloween got more of a humorous and PG tone.

The US is interesting, I expected 40% Yes, 60% NO (down party lines more less). I guess the Muslims and Jews (who generally vote left) consider their faith much more important than white liberals. I mean I’m agnostic, but there are many more things more important in life than religion.

I don't know, how it looks in Slovakia. Do your priests say that Halloween is a satan thing? Are the pedophile priests shielded by the bishops, the presecutors and the government? Do the bishops say about "pink disease" comparing homosexuals to communist "red disease"? Is the religion in school? Financed by the country? Is the Catholic Church tax-freed?

    • Argentina also has ski centers on the Tierra del Fuego but that doesn't mean it will immediately become a powerhouse in this sport 
    • Speak for yourself. Why should we give up our one great talent of the younger generation when we have no one else? Maybe from the same reason that the USA didn't give up Schiffrin to another country when she had 17-18...
    • A very ignorant statement.   Of course the UK is not exactly known for its winter sport but there are some ski resorts mainly in Scotland, like the Cairngorms or the Nevis Range.
    • But in women's epee another defeat by Ukraine. We are slowly developing a complex about this country, because we are constantly losing to them in sabre too. Sabre has always been Ukrainian, epee for a draw or our slight advantage but a failed in women`s foil, which is already a shocking novelty  
    • What comeback for the italian men's foil team in the finals vs the USA  Bianchi won 9-3 against Massialas in the last bout 
    • Not often your prayers  get answered so quickly!
