Does Macron even stand a chance of re-election himself? Guess he's been exposed as the gentry's puppet already? If world leaders consider him as a sitting duck nobody's gonna hold back in taking cheap shots at his wife :lol:

now I know why some (or maybe all ?) Brazilian users here didn't want this guy to be elected. Trump is quite a gentleman comparing to him.

 

politics aside I respect someone like Macron who at least married someone he loves (even if she is 100 years older) much more than all those rich guys who marry several times with younger women and everybody knows those women are with them only because of their money and their position. :thumbdown:

You ain't gonna find decency in politics. Even those seemingly decent people with ideas become overwhelmed by the power once they have it.

@Griff88 I’ve read that you’re getting a new capital. Will you be relocating? Or do you live outside Jakarta?

I guess I should change friends, then, as quite a bit of my friends are politicians of some kind... :mumble:

At least you have friends :p. If Totallympics is lost in the snap, I’m going to end up like Hawkeye (that isn’t a spoiler because the movie was released twice, and has been available on Amazon since August 1st. It ain’t my fault I spoil it for someone at this point)

Well not yet, it is not official until it is approved by the parliament.

 

I don't think I will leave Jakarta, unless the city is suddenly overran by the religious fanatics. If that happen, relocating to the new capital (or somewhere near) will be much safer because the headhunting Dayaks will repel them from doing any disturbance there.

A interesting research was done by our  Institute for Public Affairs in our high schools.

 

The kids between the ages of 15 and 19 were asked to anonymously answer who they would not want to have as their neighbors.  positively, most have chosen extremist politicians. :yes also is quite encouraging that our youngs have no problems with Jews and Peoples of different skin color. :)

75% extremist politicians

61% Roma peoples (Gypsies)

    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
