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.

    • I`m a traditionalist and I like alpine skiing competitions in the morning hours, illuminated by the sun In ski jumping this is practically non-existentthis in contrast the early 21st century (It's nice that at least there's Planica at the end of every season). There are also traditional competitions under artificial lights, like in Schladming or Madonna di Campiglio. There's no need to do the same thing everywhere as in ski jumping. Alpine skiing finals are rarely super exciting, because usually everything is clear and the skiers are tired from the long season. Finals were often canceled, so this year it was okay for me. If someone wanted a spectacle, that's what the Olympics Games or the World Cup in Kitzbuchel.

    • Baffling scheduling again. It's like FIS want to drive people away.    It's the Finals, on paper your big conclusion to the season, yet it feels like "let's get this over with". Just compare how the ATP treat their finals with this.   Ok, you want to have the GS & SL on Tuesday/Wednesday. That's fine, i've been advocating for more mid-week starts to begin with. But why, oh why do you have them in the middle of the day, on a work week.  Why aren't you having them in the evening, in prime time, when people are off work. Make it a big special event, which people want to visit and not during the day in front of a 100 fans. It's not that hard to choose a place with some floodlights.     And even this week we don't have Champion League football, so the night is free from big competition. Perfect opportunity to have alpine skiing on TV right now, but noooo.
