Just to be clear, I didn't say he didn't have the right to say this :d I just can't believe we're still living in a world where we hear people saying things like that or "grab women by the p*ssy", etc. This is disgusting to me.

its one of the funniest political things i have ever seen, i dont and i cant agree with this.......but i have a strong position of the freedom of speech, im against the people who want censure, attack judicially etc, if its a so bad what the people says, let them talk!!, its the best defense you have against them.

he`s not a politician, he`s one of many idiots in Poland thinking he is. I`m so sorry for him and the likes from PiS - they critisize Pope, they are limiting freedom of woman in Poland, promoting murderes from "excommunicated soldiers", destroying Polish legends, trees, everything, hating everyone with different opinion. 

 

This is Poland today....i have to live it through another 2 years....i will do it, condolences to Hungary too. Freedom is over in PL. We guys have it ok but woman have it tough, the return of patriarchate. Pregnant woman are in difficult situation, doctors can use their "conscience clause", the whole school programs are being "catholasized", church is the most important actor on a scene, this is a nightmare in fact, only music helps me not to protest on streets. Keep it up woman in Poland on woman`s day!! :), go girls!

They were "forest ones"...kind of underground soldiers fighting communists when it was decided that we will be a communist country. Their fight was senseless but "proud"...the problem is that they were killing lots of innocent people like under soldier called "Łupaszka" - (lets say "Hammer Killer"). Our new goverment tries to show them as role-models to young Poles trying to cheat the past and lie at once. They only say about some good things they had done....they are silent about their many sins....this is our new propaganda in Poland.

 

Is it similar to Germany lets say...1934? Yes...

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursed_soldiers

 

this is the background, kind of "historical". But sadly.....some of them made some terrible massacres....and ironically..they are the biggest "heroes". Sadly to write it....i got affraid to write the truth on Polish websites..and i`m not the only one. I work for 1 of the ministries...i`d be fired at once as "enemy". This is Poland today.

 

I`m not saying Citizenship Platform (PO, party of Donald Tusk) was perfect...no....but we weren`t afraid

Reuters: Japan PM Abe say that missile launches are evidence of growing threat from North Korea

 

I hope that it's the last update, I'll update it only if I see a risk for the pace of the world (North Korea have intercontinental missiles and nuclear weapons)

Delusion runs wild. With Russia to the north, China to the west and US/Japan to the east they would be squashed like tomatoes if it comes to that. It would be tragic for the normal people there, who have no idea what's going on.

exactly, normal people there are brainwashed but leaders are well educated, probably only pretending this idiocy. So strategically they know what will happen. Maybe they in fact want to lose with honour and end this story. Some North Korean leader probably will become a Gorbatchev of this country. Maybe now - they know that even China won`t defend them.

It all can be decided on conditions for todays leaders of N. Korea. Economically this story can`t last for ever

I'm 99% sure North Korean leaders are not stupid (as in, dumb/unintelligent). People who are actually not intelligent won't stay in power so long even in North Korea. Same thing with people like Erdogan or Trump, they always come across as some of the major dumbfucks on earth, but I have no doubt they are rather intelligent. Underestimating people is one of the biggest mistakes one can make :p

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
