As for today, over 80 % of Catalans want independence :wacko: this is bad news for Spain. If they lose Catalonia, they should thank their own government. Just a few weeks ago,  the support for independent state was lower than 50%.

 

I hope Noone will die in the aftermath... But I doubt It :cry:

No, 80% of the Catalonians want the independence referendum to happend. But that doesn't mean that they all support independence.

 

To be honest I really think that if the referendum was made, NO will win. It's a feeling we all got here in Spain (even pro independece catalonians, that's why they are making the referendum today, cause it's looking bad for them next elections and they are in danger of losing the power, they had a slight mayority in the catalonia parlament now), but the spanish goverment is just plain stupid and they are using police brutality to stop something it was been seeing as a joke to the rest of the country and raging all spanish people.

 

Like, I'm not from Catalonia, I'm basque (another part of Spain that has battle a lot for independence, sadly know by terrorist group ETA) and I'm pro-Spain but all this bullshit the president and the ministers are doing is really taking my nerves and I'm siding with pro-referendum now.

And the worst part of all is that the goverment is sending extra police to deal with the independence people and it's doing nothing with the people who gathered together a few days ago in Madrid doing the nazi salute and wearing flags and singing the anthem of the former spanish dictator Francisco Franco.

In another hand: i have the theory that the page of the youth south american games have only one person for all the sports, if its one sport "updatings results" the other dont have any updating.....of course, with a delay of almost 15 minutes.

It's hladno piće, but yeah. :d

 

I remember that reference from my high school trip to Prague. Guide told us that one of the previous years couple of girls went to a cafe, but were told that they can't order just drinks (I don't remember why was that). In any case, they stood up and started leaving the cafe when one of them said: "Ne možeš ovdje ni piće naručit" ("You can't even order a drink here"). That sentence caused a lot of commotion among the staff in the cafe. :p

 

In CZ/SK it mean you Hungry c.nts ! :lol:

 

Nice, just found a article about that and noticed even more vulgar and funny CZ/SK word in your language. I mean The word for Rooster ! in our language it mean well the extremely vulgar word for the male reproductive organ  :d

    • I think the Dutch men (especially in long distances) are simply not good enough. We've been leaders in long distances for decades, but we've always had great talents like De Jong, Romme, Bergsma, Kramer, and Roest. They're not around right now, so we're focusing more on short distances, but there's a certain Stolz who reigns supreme.   What I've noticed is that many newcomers (Jilek, Lubineaud etc) originally come from inline skating. The Netherlands should look into that too. We also need to be open to new training methods, like those of the Swede Nils Svensson, who won two gold medals in Beijing with a unique training regime.   Good luck with Ghiotto, I will definitely cheer for him: such a friendly person and a beautiful skater. He really deserves a gold medal.

    • The all Dutch men seemed out of form in Inzell. Could this mean some intense strength training during this period? Overall, I think that, the progress in the men's long-distance events has been incredible since last year and I have the impression that both Ghiotto and the Netherlands team haven't caught on to some new equipment updates? The times achieved this season by: Eitrem, Jilek, Lubinaud, Semyrunyyi and Davson are incredible in terms of time progress year by year. But considering the financial potential of the Netherlands, I'm surprised they could have to by left behind technologically? Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me in Italy's case, as we don't even have a single indoor track to test our technological innovations – the one in Milan is currently inaccessible even to the hosts. Of course, if Italy were a normal country, who supported their own athletes, the track in Milan should have been available only for the Italian team for many months ago, where would be testing various innovations there, but unfortunately that is not the case, because we live where we live
    • Stolz recently lost twice to Zurek in the 500 meters, so I don't know if he'll even be a favorite there. He will have certain favourite in the 1000 and 1500 meters. Mass starts are a lottery and in the team race, putting him in would be a significant risk, because the team USA is incredibly well-coordinated without him and has been undefeated for 2 years. It's not certain that even someone very strong like him won't disrupt this lineup. Maybe, they only put him in the quarterfinals and give him the gold medal for only that race? In any case, for me he can realistically count on 2-3 gold medals individually + a question mark regarding the team race. Overall, I think he should focus on 500-1000-1500, instead of dreaming of 5 gold medals. And if he will win those 3 gold medals, he can then, with a clear head, attempt the mass start at the last race of the Games.
