Yup, Americans got the hell out and tried to sell this as "not a failure". What a load of crap indeed. No wonder nobody in the Middle East buys this democracy thing at all. Americans wasted 20 years building democracy in Afghanistan and managed to accomplish absolutely nothing. Ho-Chin Minh is probably laughing in his grave :lol:

New and totally unexpected topic in Slovak parliament, we have a weed war :d

 

MEP of the PS (Progersivne Slovensko) Tomáš Valášek presents his own proposal for the decriminalization of marijuana in Slovakia. Parliament should discuss it at the November part-session. In addition to this amendment, MEPs will discuss a proposal to reduce severe penalties for Marijuana possession, which were introduced by MEPs from the leading Coalition parties. Valášek comes up with a proposal that would decriminalize the storage of marijuana for personal consumption up to the amount of 60 grams of the substance...dear lord :lol:, or the cultivation of five pieces of plants.

 

According to the press release of Progressive Slovakia, the current legal regulation punishes people who are not dangerous for society with heavy penalties.

 

Which is a fact the pain for using and posession of Marijuana is in Slovakia currently the highest in Europe. You can basically finish in prison for longer time than for a murder lol. For possession of more than 3 "doses" you are punishable from 10 to 25 years. :p

 

All parties (except the Neo-Nazis) basically agreed with the reducing penalties proposals and should vote for it this month, now on the decriminalization, but I feel like this can happen only when elephants will fly above the Tatras lol

That does sound like an excellent change though :cheer: 

 

Prison sentences simply for possessing a bit of weed is madness...especially when tobacco or alcohol is fine.

BBC (aka constitution of democracy) declares it's a clear murder but manipulated and corrupt judges and jurors announced he's innocent. So let's welcome to the world of arbitrary murders. No one's gonna save and liberate the poor Americans by bombing their houses? At least sanction those officials!

    • Trump will attack Iran soon , maybe tonight   
    • Yep, that was really unfortunate, but well, such things happens. Anyway this amount of lugers is really impressive.   Congrats and good luck at the Games
    • Yeah, Qualifying a team for the summer olympics is completely out of the question. Not going to happen for a long time. In Sydney 2000 we had 3 teams W Basketball, M Football & M Water Polo, it was already insane and this was even in a totally different era. Nowadays it is just Utopian. We have none to be at a high level in Europe to aspire for a qualification to the Olympics.   W Handball is really the most obvious chance in a long shot. The U17 girls showed last summer that it is possible, who knows maybe in Brisbane if the planets allign well.    Paris 2024 was a nightmare I do not want to remember. The worst games I experienced in my life. point.
    • Khm, do we know the fate of the  license in pairs? I did not see confirmation of their entry.   If they fail  must get full license (team + individual) and one more place for team event will be available, am I correct?
    • Honestly, we did not expect more than 8. 2 additional places happened just becaues your double could not grab it due to the injury(?).
    • Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
    • Biathlon (6 - 2W; 4M)   Anastasia Tolmacheva Andreea Mezdrea (our media put her in)   George Buta Raul Flore Dmitri Shamaev George Coltea   Bobsleigh (4M + 1 reserve)   Constantin Dinescu George Iordache Mihai Păcioianu Mihai Tentea     Figure Skating (1W)   Julia Sauter - flag bearer       Luge (7 - 3W; 4M)   Corina Buzatoiu Carmen Manolescu Raluca Stramaturaru   Denis Serban Marian Gîtlan Eduard Craciun Valentin Cretu     Ski Jumping (4 - 2W; 2M)   Delia Floea Daniela Haralambie   Daniel Cacina Mihnea Spulber   Alpine skiing (2 - 1W; 1M)   Sofia Moldovan   Alexandru Stefanescu   Nordic skiing (3 - 1W; 2M)   Delia Reit   Paul Pepene Gabriel Cojocaru   Snowboard (2W)   Kata Mandel Henrietta Bartalis   For me it’s a very special edition because two of my friends (Edi Craciun and Gabi Cojocaru) made it. So fingers crossed for them and for the whole delegation.   We don’t expect to much as usual in winter games (1-2 top 10 - luge team, women’s doubles luge, 2man bobsleigh, and maybe Julia Sauter if she will skate clean both programs)
