Adapt or die :dunno:

 

I'm sorry but you're soooo far off my society scale we will never agree on anything here. I've adapted to that, you haven't. Enjoy winning your talking head wars on social media :bye:

There’s no winning when people are constantly losing, and this mentality we have towards to the LGBT community is gross, and quite honestly near Nazi-like since you actually didn’t even contest my above post. You actually seemed to sickeningly confirm it.

I have my formula, 'Adapt or die'.

 

You're talking about Serena Williams, Nazis, xenophonbia, LGBT yadda yadda etc. etc. Heywoodu has probably drifted to watching darts since you called him a racist and guess what, you're not gonna find many suitors who agree with you after you call them racists :dunno: Like I said before, you're on your own here.

Adapt or Die is the most universal aka gender-neutral (how about my progressive language, sir!) stance the humanity has accepted. And this works every single time. You want to call the shots and make a change. And guess what, LGBT people must adapt to reality too. Everyone has to. Or else you DIE.

I'm curious to know what "adapt to reality" mean, according to you. If you could be specific, it would be great.

If I were a LGBT person I'd never come out in public. It's really that simple. Not in Poland anyway :p

And that’s a problem. It’s people outside the closet who should be adapting, not people inside.

Why would you recommend a LGBT-person not to come out in public in Poland? What would happen to a publicly open LGBT-person in Poland?

People inside the closet are minority though. Minority rules never work out. If you support democracy how can you support a minority rule? :dunno:

 

There are more heterosexual people than LGBT in the world last time I checked.

Social ostracism is a powerful reason against it and it would happen in most cases IMO (especially outside of the big cities). If you can't live with social ostracism, you should stay in the closet.

If you think of LGBT people as only political, you’re seriously wrong. Asking for acceptance isn’t wrong. Asking to not be killed, jailed, and tortured because of the way you naturally feel isn’t wrong.

 

It shouldn’t matter who there’s more of.

 

A good democracy always supports minorities rights, just the same as a majorities.

Or you should fight for what you believe in, and your family and closet friends should be supportive of you.

    • Found a couple of prediction websites.   This link was posted on reddit a couple of days ago by the user thevorminatheria.   The Italian sports website OA Sport also came up with their own predictions. They have a link in the article to the latest magazine issue which details all of the medalists.
    • Some team facts   Athletes who identify as female or are competing in women’s events:   Number of athletes: 108 Youngest: Felicity Geremia, 18 (born June 4, 2007), Snowboard;  Oldest: Deanna Stellato-Dudek, 42 (born June 22, 1983), Figure skating  Athletes who identify as male or are competing in men’s events:   Number of athletes: 99 Youngest: Eli Bouchard, 18 (born December 12, 2007), Snowboard;  Oldest: Marc Kennedy, 44 (born February 5, 1982), Curling NOTE: This is the first Olympic Winter Games at which Team Canada athletes competing in women’s events outnumber those competing in men’s events.   Sets of siblings:   Jasmine Drolet (Cross-Country Skiing) and Remi Drolet (Cross-Country Skiing) Daniel Hall (Long Track Speed Skating) and Laura Hall (Long Track Speed Skating) Hannah Schmidt (Ski Cross) and Jared Schmidt (Ski Cross) Brodie Seger (Alpine Skiing) and Riley Seger (Alpine Skiing)  Children of Olympians:   Cédrick Brunet (Long Track Speed Skating) – Michel Brunet (father) Laurent Dubreuil (Long Track Speed Skating) – Robert Dubreuil (father) and Ariane Loignon (mother) Miha Fontaine (Freestyle Skiing) – Nicolas Fontaine (father)  Laura Hall (Long Track Speed Skating) and Daniel Hall (Long Track Speed Skating) – Mike Hall (father) Béatrice Lamarche (Long Track Speed Skating) – Benoît Lamarche (father) Dylan Marineau (Freestyle Skiing) – Dennis Marineau (father) Xavier McKeever (Cross-Country Skiing) – Robin McKeever (father) and Milaine Thériault (mother) Jeffrey Read (Alpine Skiing) – Ken Read (father) Provincial and territorial breakdown*:   Alberta: 46 British Columbia: 33 Manitoba: 4 New Brunswick: 2 Newfoundland and Labrador: 0 Northwest Territories: 0 Nova Scotia: 5 Nunavut: 0 Ontario: 58 Prince Edward Island: 0 Quebec: 49 Saskatchewan: 6 Yukon: 2 Athletes born outside Canada: 2 Athletes who previously attended a Games:   Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 – 90 PyeongChang 2018 – 43 Sochi 2014 – 13 Vancouver 2010 – 8 Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024 – 2 Lausanne 2020 – 9 Lillehammer 2016 – 7 Innsbruck 2012 – 1  Olympic Summer Games: Tokyo 2020 – 1 Paris 2024 – 1 **Kelsey Mitchell is set to become Canada’s latest dual season Olympian    Olympic rookies: 109   Olympic medallists: 47   Most Olympic appearances at the Olympic Winter Games:    4 – Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes, Valérie Maltais and Marie-Philip Poulin (2010, 2014, 2018, 2022). Milano Cortina 2026 will be their fifth Olympic Games.    * The following are athlete roster adjustments that occurred after their respective sport’s team announcement took place. 
    • https://olympic.ca/press/207-athletes-to-represent-team-canada-at-the-milano-cortina-2026-olympic-winter-games/   Official Canadian press release. 207 athletes as @Topicmaster1010mmentioned earlier.    
    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
    • They can also just count DNSs to handle this specific situation.
    • I suspect IBSF will make the point system equal in the future regardless on the number of competitors.   My fear is that they will make the awarded points lower, like only 90 points to the winner to balance it out.
    • Olivia Asselin (freestyle skiing)   She was at the X Games competing this week. Another medal hope out the drain, she was in the form of her life 
    • You'd have to ask her simpatic boyfriend from the USA about that, who is often seen at competitions with her participation
