Apparently the party of Saulius Skvernelis has won the Lithuanian elections ( @Werloc @Bearas ), but on Dutch forums people noted it for a bit different reason...Skvernelis could be the "doppelgänger" of Anton Mussert, leader of the Dutch nazi party NSB during the second World War :p

Of course it's nothing serious, just an interesting resemblance between their looks :d

Please don't talk about our elections, it's a very touchy subject at the moment. Basically drunk village people and probably grandmas voted them into the government and the two best parties declined making a coalition with these folk, so we're going to have 4 years of probably the worst government in the last 26 years....

Well, basically we're planning to come back to the middle ages. Agriculture, agriculture, agriculture. Profession schools will probably get more attention than universities. We're going to get back to Kolkhoz (it used to be a collective farm in the Soviet Union). In this party we have stars such as a

1. A person that has been driving a tractor for a living

2. A person that paid 3 Euro's of taxes this year

3. A person that has a million dollar company that probably hides taxes

4. A person that says that Crimea belongs to Russia and we should become closer with Russia

5. A person that finished 8 grades at school.

6. Then there's a person that has been in trouble with the law 18 times

7. Then there's a person with a witchcraft association

And some Pro-Putin fellows that make me feel uncertain about our "Western" future.

Wow, some points are shocking. I wish you the best future possible to Lithuania...

Last question, what they think about the migration crisis and about the distributions of migrants throughout the Union?

I don't really know what they're thinking :d It's the combination of not being too interested in politics and also never in my wildest dreams did I think they could win. I was fully supporting my Liberal and Democrat friends that will work for the opposition, because they don't want to ruin their reputation working with these guys.

The only good news is that none of the parties agree to form coalition with green peasants. And they are definitely not pro-EU! Except that they want EU money for villages and agriculture.... It is a party that won all of they seas in rural mandates after all.

 

But this is a very concerning elections as party that affiliated with Russian intentions just won elections out of nowhere shouting that they want to support "Christian democracy"... Which clearly is not a path for any country.

 

Anyway, results clearly shows that the majority of younger generation already emigrated from country and only old grandmas and grandpas was left to vote. :evil: :smash:

"Outrage is building in Germany after it was revealed that a Syrian refugee is claiming social benefits for his FOUR wives and 22 children. A German financial manager released his calculation of what the German state is paying to the entire family annually. On the website of the Employers' Association he estimated that the refugees are getting roughly 360,000 Euro per year."

PS. This guy is my hero, 360 000 a year for doing nothing and have 4 wives. :bowdown:

I didn't read anywhere that he is actually getting this, I only saw some sensationalistic websites quoting someone saying "if he would get what the regulations say, this is what he would get" :p

    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
