Or because I’m surrounded by people with racial issues, and a false belief in populism. I’m pretty certain almost every sovereign nation is meddling in each other’s affairs. Right rather have a politically correct President than one who: has bragged about assaulting woman, caged children, banned people because of their religion, used business as a way to justify his denial in science, declared victory over our allies, blames everything on people he doesn’t like, talks with the vocabulary of a 5 year old, pulled my country closer to autocratic leaders, invited the Russians to meddle in our elections, went bankrupt multiple times, has denied facts throughout his term, created fake “fake news”, used race baiting as an excuse to bring back derogatory practices. 

He doesn’t seem to represent the average person, and he certainly doesn’t represent the America I know. Political correctness saves us from administrations like NAZI Germany, the USSR, military junta’s, and autocratic leaders.

I also don’t think that age determines a person’s knowledge on a subject. I am one of the kids in the state for knowledge in geography, politics, and history. Of course the older “wiser” generations use age as a way to justify a reaction against new ideas.

If you think Trump wins for racial issues, and a false belief in populism, like most of the people who cant believe how he can win, you dont understand the reasons of his victory and it will be even worse if he obtein the reelection.

 

Well, you prefer Hillary and Obama after actions like the intervention of Libya and another nations of the zone, well, you have the rigth to think that but please dont ignore that kind of actions.

 

Trumps did and still doing many questionable things, like i said i prefer Gary Johnson, but all that actions you say are worse than attacking another countrys and kill/injure millions of people?, another thing is more ilegal inmigrants were deported by Obamas administration than Trumps if we comparing deporting by years.......but like Oama is political correctnes, is black and Democrat, is ok.

 

I never sayed he represent the average person in United States, he is a simbol against the political correctnes and you must be sure that there are many people, not only in U.S.A, in the world, tired of the imposition of those ideas, the facts are facts and not always are "political correct"

 

"Political correctness saves us from administrations like NAZI Germany, the USSR, military junta’s, and autocratic leaders": i never believed in my life to read something like this, that dont save your country of nothing of that (the political correction starts to exist in the 70s in U.S.A and is invented for American leftist), your military and economical power make U.S.A to defeat all of those enemys, i cant imagine an autocratic leader in your country and except in 1962 with the misile crisis, there arent another case with a posibility of a military junta’s.

 

You are rigth about the last!!, i said for you age, is logical you dont remember what happen in Lybia (some years ago), nothing more, you make me a surprise about knowing things about geography, probably, you are the american with higher knowleadge in Geography i have ever know, in the best of the cases the another confuse my country with Brazil :p

 

The new thing are just that: news, not better, i dont pretend to you change your ideas but may be, you question somethings like you dont question before.

 

Answer another time if you want but, in my case, i finish here.

Unfortunately I think that’s true, although I got beat guys some pretty smart lads at the state geography bee in 8th grade. Damn fussa! Why did I get that question. There are as many smart Americans as ignorant Americans.

Not exactly. There's a huge difference between administrations like Nazi Germany, military junta's and so on on one side, and an extreme political correctness where free speech is almost gone (because if you say 'boo!', someone is gonna fight you on that and say it's *insertbadthing*) on the other side. Like so many things nowadays, people seem to forget that there's a way in the middle.

Socialist?, is sad to me read that for an American, your country dont suffer socialism like countrys like mine but in the forum you can find people of countrys with terribles consequences, in your country in the last election i probably voted for Gary Johnson if i was American, i see you are very young for your profile.

 

Democratic socialism is working fine here in Northern Europe ;) (at least that's what people call it in America).

But I don't think it would work out quite as good on a national level in the US. Much of it would work better in single states.

Well the independence proposal won’t be put to a vote in California this year, so I think we’re a way off from that.

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
