And we should all elect fake nationalist and populist leaders that are leading us closer to WW3. I’m not for open borders, but I’m vehemently opposed to closed borders and turning our backs on are fellow friends from other parts of the world.

A country doesn't have to take everybody in (A vote to a right-wing anti-immigration party means that the regular people are getting tired of it) & How exactly politicians like the ones in Hungary will cause WW3? I'm curious.

With all due respect, Hungary is a mostly conservative nation with some of the worst politicians in the world. Journalism there is seriously flawed as well, with very questionable news sources and decidedly anti-immigration sentiment fueled by yellow journalism. It's surprising that immigrants even consider going to a place like this. I imagine how desperate these people need to be in order to even consider living there. I would never. I've been going through more than enough shit in Brazil already, thank you.

The ones trying to enter Hungary mostly likely use it as a.... country you go through to reach another country. At least in my opinion. I never said anything about journalism, so i won't say a thing about it in Hungary lol

MASS migration has to stop in Europe.

Well, once y’all stop shipping bombs, guns, and planes over there I’ll think about this comment seriously.

Orban is not a conservative or a nationalist. He is leader, like Putin, that only aims to give himself power and attack all others.

I’m sorry I offended you, but I did scale down what I wanted to say, so it would be so hurtful.

What makes you think i got offended? Your reply was odd, that's all. Write what you have to say. Or were you going to write a novel about why mass migration is Europe's own fault?

Sometimes I wonder if they really don´t have anyone who explain them the traditions and habits of the country they attend ? if you arrive in a Slavic country like :SVK it´s common that you´ll be welcomed with bread and salt, you should (have to) try it, at least one slice. Emmanuel ! It´s really impolite to not eat the whole slice :(:d

I suppose you mean 'we all'? You know, what with the American president basically literally stating the American arms deal with a shady regime is more important than free press? :p

    • Podium finish in the men’s race for  Filippov. It is the first podium of the winter season for a neutral/Russian athlete.
    • that's basically last year's IA Division Worlds roster the only new name is Finoro so, the names might well be there
    • I will do my best to organise a pairs competition also involving nations from the 4 teams that are eliminated in the first half of the team competition along with the lowest ranked individual nations at the halfway point (end of session 2) to form 8 pairs. Pairs will be balanced so that the highest ranked nation in the competition will be paired with the lowest ranked nation, second highest with the second lowest and so on. All of that will be based on the individual ranking at the halfway point.   This way every nation will have at least interest in some event until the end of the 3rd session.   I will probably base it closely on @mrv86‘s proposed rules, and have sprints every 3 rounds of votes. The pairs with most medals from those 3 rounds get the points along with an extra bonus for medal and points doubles.   I do only have 1 day to organise this now so I can’t promise anything though.
