If you're old enough to remember the rock group Thin Lizzy, you may realize why she has the nickname Dim Lizzy....

 

She refers to the Irish Taoiseach as the "Irish Tea Sock" :lol: Let's hope some advisors can guide her as to the correct pronunciation :d.

 

Maybe she is confusing it with these Michael "Tea" Higgins tea cosies :d

Un, yeah. Not an expert, but if the investigation confirms that the gun was charged, don't know what else can you can call it.

Well, the chamber weapon was "empty" and we have the wire case of the total reset of the cellphone of the shooter.....

 

But ok, is absolutly obvius this is real, like the suicide of Nisman and Maldonado were kill by Gendarmeria......and a large etc.

I thought it had 5 bullets? Not sure what you mean exactly. 

 

 

I don't think this case is too complex honestly, almost everything points to it being just a loser with free time that doesn't know how to shoot.

What were the bad parts, so besides the obvious good things in it like certain basic human rights (improvements in terms of abortion rights, education, native people's rights, etc)?

Well, at least me, i dont believe in "minorities rigths", the minorities are not diferent of the majorities, saldy the wokism make a mess with that.

Now, Argentina and Chile suffer the violence of groups of radical natives who believes in their "legendary rigths" and are making a disaster in the south region of both countries, mostly the Mapuches which organization headquarters are in UK.

Even this constitution create another justice sistem for the natives, WTF?,clearly against of the equality before the law.

 

The abortion is a basic human rigth?, i dont believe it must be penalized but human rigth?.

 

Even the moderate left of Chile critics the new constitution like radical.

Is not common this kind of "gun malfunction", an experts says: Es una pistola de pequeño calibre, del 7.65mm. No llega a ser de bolsillo y está fabricada en Argentina. En principio no es una pistola de mala calidad. Por eso resulta bastante extraño que no haya funcionado, sobre todo el primer disparo.

 

The reset of the cellphone is another thing that make this weird.

 

The political use of this to victimize the vicepresident is predictible but very sad.....

 

Edit: you can be rigth about this guy, for me is a used loser but can be a "lonely mad guy".

Equity isn’t the same as equality though, and to be honest, I don’t think indigenous peoples have ever been treated equal to those of European ancestry in the Americas. There’s been some improvements in the last few decade as to how our nations treat indigenous peoples, but I still think there’s (understandably) a lot to desire from their end.
 

Many of our countries have actively tried to suppress their languages, kill their cultures, and steal their resources at some point in history. It doesn’t seem like that far of a stretch to maybe rethink how we honor the legacy of indigenous peoples and move forward to a more constructive relationship.
 

Personally, I think honoring land claims, paying reparations, and giving remaining indigenous groups some form of autonomy isn’t that outlandish. Those are just my thoughts on the matter though.

As we saw with the history of BLM, it’s very easy to talk in wonderful slogans of justice & equality and to be a cynical rip-off merchant interested only on your own enrichment.

    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
