So the Milka chocolate is different in Germany than in here. Is it the blame of the Hungarian government?

I don't know about the ingredients of Milka chocolate...but here's an example: drinks like "Fanta Orange" or similar

- in Italy there is a regulation which makes it illegal to sell them if they contain less than 12% of orange juice...it will be 20% by 2018.

- in Austria they sell the same drink with same name but with only 6% orange juice

- in other countries they can sell by law the same drink with 0% juice and more chemichal additives, meaning that it's of less quality.

Your government is free to approve a regulation like ours. 

I'm sure you can find something similar about the quality of chocolate.

They made a lot of regulations. For example the bakers had to change their recipes (salt). But who can check it? Is it always true what is on the package as ingredients?

It's like the Maldives sent their flag to rape the Mauritania flag in Chernobyl, leading to this horror of an alien-baby-flag. 

 

Sadly, I have a feeling the Mauritanians will not be encouraged to vote against this...

Yes he is :) that's why the news are so surprising and awesome :d However, since a few months he visibly fights to become independent, he already blocked one of their bills (but it wasn't that important) and openly cricitized  some aspect of the government.

I never thought I would join to talk about politics on sport forum and especially here, but sadly that moment has come. Can I please you for stop posting on public wall (If you like it you always can send PM to these users with which you want talk) shitty things about our politics? It's sport forum and I thought that totallympics atm is only one place in the internet where I will not saw any opinions/posts/news about current government, supporters of opposition party which behaviours worse than childs in sandpits (I mean here those people on the streets which lie down and shoeing for a metal fence). Where you really see the problem on those changes? It's normal that leading party want have full control on some spaces, it's in many countries on whole world and there no one don't hysterical. Despite everything PIS still have almost 20% more in polls than PO and Nowoczesna. Politicans from those two parties still can't stand with this that they lost elections, lost all their lovely moneys and everything around and now behaviour as idiots. I'm not sure if you know but how ironic is it that "former" communist politicans screams on all those nonsene protests that they don't want "back to communism", but we will back to communism if they will ruled again, just look how many scandals PO had in those 8 years, tell me what they did good in that time? They closed half of Polish factories, shut down all shipyards, closed the FSO car factory, introduced foreign capital to the market, destroying Polish manufacturers in that way, not saying that they want accept  and take many dangerous refugees to Poland. You see what is happening in UK, Germany, France and Belgium by this, you really want this here too? In addition, they shout that Kaczyński loves Putin and wants makes second Belarus here, such screams are scandalous, you really like it? Since PIS rule in the country my life is better, don't know how is with yours. Ah, and I almost forgot, PO government sells E.Wedel, one of the oldest Polish companies, now owners is an company from... Japan, everything under PO was ok, right? 

Thank you reading this and I hope that you will not post here anymore shitty things about our politics here, it's useless.

And if someone want to see this, it are PO and Nowoczesna supporters, or if someone prefer people which are against PIS (which they choosed :) few months ago)

 

 

@VolleyRuller96 World level of protest, right?

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
