As for today, over 80 % of Catalans want independence :wacko: this is bad news for Spain. If they lose Catalonia, they should thank their own government. Just a few weeks ago,  the support for independent state was lower than 50%.

 

I hope Noone will die in the aftermath... But I doubt It :cry:

No, 80% of the Catalonians want the independence referendum to happend. But that doesn't mean that they all support independence.

 

To be honest I really think that if the referendum was made, NO will win. It's a feeling we all got here in Spain (even pro independece catalonians, that's why they are making the referendum today, cause it's looking bad for them next elections and they are in danger of losing the power, they had a slight mayority in the catalonia parlament now), but the spanish goverment is just plain stupid and they are using police brutality to stop something it was been seeing as a joke to the rest of the country and raging all spanish people.

 

Like, I'm not from Catalonia, I'm basque (another part of Spain that has battle a lot for independence, sadly know by terrorist group ETA) and I'm pro-Spain but all this bullshit the president and the ministers are doing is really taking my nerves and I'm siding with pro-referendum now.

And the worst part of all is that the goverment is sending extra police to deal with the independence people and it's doing nothing with the people who gathered together a few days ago in Madrid doing the nazi salute and wearing flags and singing the anthem of the former spanish dictator Francisco Franco.

It's hladno piće, but yeah. :d

 

I remember that reference from my high school trip to Prague. Guide told us that one of the previous years couple of girls went to a cafe, but were told that they can't order just drinks (I don't remember why was that). In any case, they stood up and started leaving the cafe when one of them said: "Ne možeš ovdje ni piće naručit" ("You can't even order a drink here"). That sentence caused a lot of commotion among the staff in the cafe. :p

 

In CZ/SK it mean you Hungry c.nts ! :lol:

 

Nice, just found a article about that and noticed even more vulgar and funny CZ/SK word in your language. I mean The word for Rooster ! in our language it mean well the extremely vulgar word for the male reproductive organ  :d

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • 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
