one person celebrating something in his private is always possible but I'm pretty sure it's not safe to go out celebrating this very loudly.

 

it's not humane to celebrate someone's death and I try hard not doing it myself. but since 2022 we passed a point of no return, for some people it happened in 2009 and for some others in 2019 but it feels like 2022 was really the end of that "let's hope things get better" era. 

 

I don't think like that myself, being radical is always a bad idea. but for lots of people, specially the younger generations, this is a war and they are the enemy. so they will indeed celebrate such a thing. even exaggerating to piss off the enemy

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but what was 2009 about in this regard? That's definitely before I started to have any kind of interest in international politics :p

The Green movement, the first time the IR saw millions of people in the streets against itself, most importantly those protests were completely peaceful (unlike the recent protests) yet they didn't tolerate it. used brutal force to end things.

 

obviously the elections were never totally fair here. but it was OK within the regime. I mean they would disqualify whoever they didn't want before the race. but the race itself was usually OK. I believe 2009 was the first time they completely threw away the votes and published some fake numbers to keep that monkey (you know him as Ahmadinejad) in charge. The monkey is not part of the regime now but at the time he was supposed to be loyal. 

 

The guy who could win the election Mirhossein Mousavi is still under house arrest.

Respect for the pilot maybe.

 

The other guys? 100% evil people. 

There is nothing more evil than the west leaders in this world , if we apply the same criteria then we are going to be very happy for death of most of their politicians . They weren't very nice people ofc and I think they are corrupted but death is a great thing that need to be respected , especially if it's something horrific like plane crush

I don't care about the west, even if they were all Hitler it wouldn't make the IR government any better. Defending Palestine is not the only thing they do. They spend 99% of the time commiting atrocities against their own people. One good deed doesn't wipe off everything else.

Perfect proof that often if you try to have some nuance either way, both sides will say you're 'supporting the genocide/terrorists' even if you're just really not :d

    • Only 3 teams are qualified after the 2nd round :      Today starts the 3 round : will play 2 matchs at the same time ...a true war on the field
    • Barp and Pellegrino OK today. Graz was in the top 30 until the 8th km, but weakened significantly and now has no points – not good. Carollo's performance today was completely incomprehensible for me, but it's typical for Italians skier in recent years, apart maybe from Pellegrino, sameone can finish 9-10th in one day and then 50th the next day. De Fabiani? I don't think he'll ever return to even a decent level.   Korostelev has probably already received some new vitamins? Maybe Cramer could get us something too for us, to be able to scare Nor more seriously
    • Assuming Bergsma is pre-nominated for the mass-start (place 1 in The Matrix), there are currently 7 names in the matrix.   If everything goes according to expectations, this will grow to 9. In the 1000 metres the favorites are De Boo/Wennemars/Nuijs/Prins and in the 1500 metres the last three riders. It could even be limited to 8, in the unlikely event that van de Bunt qualifies in the 1500. There is precedent there: in 2001 OKT Uytdehaage won the 5000/10.000 metres as an outsider, and also qualified for the mile, as the favorites choked. He was dismissed as a lost opportunity on the very fast Salt Lake City track, but to everyone’s surpise managed to win a silver medal. But from his interview yesterday it’s clear that van de Bunt does not expect to qualify for the games in this event, it’s his ticket to the coming All Round championships (qualification based on 1500/5000 metres times).   But it could get very messy, when 1 or 2 outsiders manage to qualify.

    • The Colorado Springs Athletic Center will be closed to foreigners in 2028 to protect Americans at the Olympic Games Michael Phelps disagrees with the decision   The US Olympic Committee will no longer allow foreign swimmers to use the Colorado Springs Athletic Center, but only in 2028, to protect the interests of American swimmers ahead of the Olympics.   CEO Kevin Ring revealed that there is a rule prohibiting foreign swimmers from entering the high-performance center starting in 2028.   This is due to several reports and complaints received by USA Swimming, highlighting how US coaches are working with foreign swimmers to beat Americans on their home turf, at their own Olympics.   In 2029, after the California Olympics, the doors of the athletic center are expected to reopen to foreigners, but with much higher rates than the current ones ($125/night).   Michael Phelps, who had previously criticized the US Swimming Federation along with Ryan Lochte, has also intervened in the matter.   During the World Championships in Singapore: "What are our real goals? I grew up training with all athletes, including foreigners. We've never discriminated against anyone in our team."   Phelps was coached by Bob Bowman (who recently completed a 24-day training camp with his team, composed primarily of foreign swimmers), and therefore defends his mentor and the team's philosophy.   USA Swimming also emphasized that other high-performance sports centers (such as the one in Flagstaff, Arizona) will have no difficulty hosting training camps for foreign national teams who request them.   The issue of foreign swimmers in the US is becoming very sensitive in light of America's dominance, which has significantly weakened in recent years (recall when in Omaha, during the 2008 and 2012 trials, Dave Salo secretly coached Japan's Kitajima, at different times than the American swimmers on his team).   Is the "America first" philosophy a new form of protectionism in swimming too?   Meanwhile, foreign athletes help colleges win and make money in the NCAA system.   Colorado Springs's view, therefore, seems hypocritical, opportunistic, and arrogant.     from an Italian Swimming blog, related to a Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper's journalist
    • Dutch track championships these days: - Tokyo BMX Olympic champion Niek Kimmann at the start of the sprint event, making a rookie mistake in the 200 metres qualifying, by misjudging the finish line: - Lorena Wiebes winning the Keirin, beating European champion Steffie van der Peet. She has no plans to add this number to her international program, but it shows her immense sprinting abilities.
    • The unanimous opinion is that Leerdam will be nominated for the 1000 metres, apparantly even among the coaches.   As I understand it, this means she will take Kok’s 1000 metres spot in the matrix (place 5), Kok will take the Schulting place (7, but of course she’s allready in through the 500 metres) and Schulting will be relegated to Verkerk’s spot, number 15 and last. This will only be a problem if there are 9 skaters before her, which seems unlikely. Currently there are 7 names in the matrix. If the last two races will go to form, at most 2 names will be added (possibly Rijpma-De Jong in the 1500 metres, and less likely In t Hof or Kerkhoff in the 5000.) Only if the last two both qualify, we will get to 10 names, and then Schulting is out. There is a chance that it will remain at 7 names. That would need for Kok to qualify for the 1500 metres, which seems unlikely where it not for the fact that she owns the track record for that distance. In that case expect Rijpma to be added for the team pursuit and Kerkhoff for the mass start.
