Thinks Iran will start WW3 soon, Hayes Argentina (seems to think it’s poorer than Mexico and as poor as Guatemala), thinks America is the greatest country in the world, China is responsible for all bad things that happen to the US, etc. while some of Iranian leaders want and need a war ( a limited war of course) but Iran is not going to start it. people who say those kind of things don't know shit about Iran. it seems Trump isn't the only stupid person in the US.

Olympian1010 7,510 Posted November 23, 2019 #4036 Share Posted November 23, 2019 This isn’t really political, but it doesn’t fit in any other thread either. Which country does the most for the world (TED Talk from 2014): In 2019, Finland is currently the “leader” “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,510 Posted November 23, 2019 #4037 Share Posted November 23, 2019 The tweet doesn’t really matter, it’s the video I wanted to share. This is something I see in the West often. Someone of the Jewish or Islamic faiths will come under attack, and often someone of the opposition faith will come to their aid. It really shows that the Middle East is really gong through a political conflict, and that the only reason religious divides exist is because religious leaders prey on the fears of the poor. I really love videos like this one because it shows that love transcends hate. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,570 Posted November 23, 2019 #4038 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Yeah those are hopeful videos, somewhat (you know, it'd be more hopeful if situations like this didn't exist in the first place). Sadly most of the times one sees a 'confrontation' video like this here, it's sort of the opposite. Well, partially, the one thing that is the same is the 'aggressive' person is generally hateful towards Jews as well*, like this guy. *but also towards Christians, or atheists Edited November 23, 2019 by heywoodu Olympian1010 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Plus for whatever reason, the past few months it's been a trend for certain groups of youths to gather in some city at night, wielding knives and machetes and going out to rob some clothes shop or something. I'm glad I don't live in a big city.
