Who is making jokes about people's lives being lost now? And you dare to call people out over LGBT jokes?

It's not my fault you don't remember the ozone hole craze of the 80s/90s. That craze has died a natural death and kinda proves climate change is immune to human actions IMO.

You want speculation or facts? I don't live in a big enough town to see any LGBT people in public Men would have it far worse than women though.

25 years ago the eco-maniacs have raved about the ozone hole killing the climate. Nobody talks about that anymore in 2019 and the hole has actually shrunk to record low levels since it was first measured. Climate changes happen without a significant human input IMO and shutting down coal mines and switching to electric cars won't help that whatsoever. That's my opinion and everything else is just a political talk. Don't make me laugh, nobody gives a fuck about Donbas and Crimea anymore. Ereryone is afraid to step on Russia's tail

LGBT rights is a wonderful new weapon in a poitical battle (alongside climate change). The world has gotten rich enough, there is no global war (and nobody cares about real wars going on right now just like in Syria or Donbas) so people need to find a new weapon to fight that neverending political battle. LGBT rights is a win/win concept. Even those who don't support it can win a political capital based on their negative views. I'm talking minority rule not minority rights. My father would never accept having LGBT children (I asked him jokingly about that years ago). So much for the family support. It's DOA

Social ostracism is a powerful reason against it and it would happen in most cases IMO (especially outside of the big cities). If you can't live with social ostracism, you should stay in the closet.

People inside the closet are minority though. Minority rules never work out. If you support democracy how can you support a minority rule? There are more heterosexual people than LGBT in the world last time I checked.

If I were a LGBT person I'd never come out in public. It's really that simple. Not in Poland anyway

I have my formula, 'Adapt or die'. You're talking about Serena Williams, Nazis, xenophonbia, LGBT yadda yadda etc. etc. Heywoodu has probably drifted to watching darts since you called him a racist and guess what, you're not gonna find many suitors who agree with you after you call them racists Like I said before, you're on your own here.

Adapt or die I'm sorry but you're soooo far off my society scale we will never agree on anything here. I've adapted to that, you haven't. Enjoy winning your talking head wars on social media

If you can't live with the social ostracism then you take shelter, obviously

I couldn't care less if Lampic won by 10 secs, anything other than a Norway win is good!

Adapt or Die is the most universal aka gender-neutral (how about my progressive language, sir!) stance the humanity has accepted. And this works every single time. You want to call the shots and make a change. And guess what, LGBT people must adapt to reality too. Everyone has to. Or else you DIE.

I remember Silvio Fauner spoiling the Norwegian party in 1994 so let's don't pretend you know everything and I know nothing. Either post the video example of this great finish from this week or stop trolling

I still don't have a clue what are you talking about. I don't watch cross country anymore like I mentioned before.

Brad Pitt tells it like it is 100% agree with that. People have adapted to all kinds of bullshit (hello, communism) so you still have a chance.

Serena came down as a very sore loser in that US final. She definitely lost the X factor she had in the 00s decade and let's be honest, if she wasn't one win away from Margaret Court's all-time GS record, she'd have retired already. She thinks she can still do it but with Osaka, Halep and Andreescu all beating her in GS final it's safe to say she's gone one bridge too far.

I haven't heard about it so it probably wasn't any special

The chase is more important than the catch. Too many politicians and activists on both sides of the fence would lose their fuel if the Second Amendment gets struck down. The non-stop arguments & winning the dispute is more important than human life. Poland is obviously dismissed as conservative trash country which doesn't support gay rights but hey, there's like one chance in a zillion we have a mass shooting anytime soon since it's extremely difficult to obtain a gun permit let alone buy a semi-automatic assault rifle. You'd basically have to be a member of organized crime to have access to this kind of weapons over here.

There's one obvious comeback I'd count here regardless. Probably the most impressive one since the 2005 UCL final:

It's USA. Mariano Rivera would stand a better chance of winning this poll than either Messi or Ronaldo

Until the Second Amendment gets revoked, it's a lost battle for all these twitter talking heads

Yeah, that's why I pay little attention to ESPN or AP polls. You have to be a global icon like Bolt or Federer to be even considered over some baseball player nobody in Europe has even heard of. Tennis is the rich man's sport like no other. It's not even close. And the funny thing is, it's the richest paying sport for women aka the rich are only getting richer. Megan Rapinoe should have played tennis, she'd be a billionaire by now instead of complaining about salary in soccer

Social media impact is more important than actual sporting result. That's why Kim Kardashian is getting paid millions for "promoting brands". LeBron is a product of the social media generation, gone are the days with only one game on live TV over the weekend. Sports has become business more than anything in 21st century.

Tennis remains a sport for the privileged. You have to invest millions early on and then maybe your kid becomes a great player and you get all that money back. It's one sport I'd never bring up when talking about social changes. You'll never see orphans or homeless kids getting a career in tennis. LeBron is LeBron but Roger Federer has had more success in this decade and I'm not even gonna mention people like Messi or C.Ronaldo which dominated the last decade. Then again, soccer is a second rate sport in USA so obviously they stood no chance of competing vs NBA star like James.
