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.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
