Ya, but what would a Finnish person knew about snow, not like you have any 

Hey don’t make the UN regulate the use of capital letters in chat forms 

Well right now I don’t support Netanyahu’s regime because of the way it treated the Palestinians. I’m for the two state solution l. I’m a progressive democratic socialist, he’s a conservative we agree on nothing, it’s just politics.

It’s not necessarily his facts. It’s his solutions that I disagree with. It’s who he supports. His whole ideology.

Honestly, I would love to debate him, cause I’m seen as a very strong liberal political debater. One of my reasons for wanting to go into politics is to keep people like him out of it. 

Right, cause I’m sure Finland is full of diversity. I’m interested in the sources of such facts

Ben Shapiro is a disgrace to my nation. Wanting people to be kind and embrace peace is not a qualifier for being called a snowflake. When you use opinion and call it fact, it is not a fact, it is disinformation. Maybe if you lived in a immigrant community where people are harmed because of the descisions of people of look the same as you, you would understand.

Hate Speech is defined a purposeful hatred, discrimination, or violence in action or speech towards a group of people. 

When you are in a position of privilege, it's easy to call minorities "snowflakes" with feelings that can be easily hurt. When you suffer the consequences of hate speech, even when hate speech is disguised through "facts", you urge to make the world a better place for you to live, and this means not accepting any made up speech as factual truth (which, quite often, is not). The nazi tried to pass eugenics as the truth, and we all know the terrible consequences this has caused to the world. So, it is important to always pay attention to WHO is talking, and WHAT motivates the discourse which is being spoken/written/etc. And if one's "opinion" makes the world a bad place for another person to live, with all due respect, one can shove his/her opinion up his ass. 

Well currently their trying to stop hate speech and neo-nazi rallies, which do not count as freedom of speech, since they violate other parts of our 1st Amendment.

Completely disagree. They fight against white supremacists and neonazis. It's one thing to have free speech, it's another thing when your free speech hurts other people and promote, ultimately, segregation to the point where even a genocide could be "explained" through your beliefs. I've had enough of disgusting people who would recruit other people to harass, hurt and even murder black people, gays, lesbians, immigrants, jews and other minorities. They might use violence to achieve their goals, but we're not all supposed to be Gandhis and Mother Teresas when we are dealing with fascists.

Never count my beloved Iceland out 

1 week to go. No spoilers, but I’m cheering for Aruba.

It will be nothing, just like it was when it happened in my community last week, just like when it happened in Florida, just like when it happened in Massachusetts, just like when it happened in Colorado. So far there have been 16 school shootings in the US this year. I believe that’s more than the rest of the world put together.

Here the complete argentinian delegation

Being an American student is deadlier than being in the American military anywhere in the world.

Power Ranking
 
FIN, SVK, KOR
 
                        

If the 470 went to became a mixed event like Nacra, with a crew of 1 men and 1 woman, I wouldn't be pissed, to be honest. I never understood the difference between 470 and 49er ship, so if 470 becames mixed I'm happy and fits for me.
 
About the Finn being mixed, I don't know. Really, if it is a team event I would love to see mixed regatas, and the result points are added to a team, could make for a more interesting event than individuals cause two ships are involved per country and anything can happend.
 
 
Mixed kite, meh. It's a different enough event to all the other sailing classes, I really hope IOC would give World Sailing one more medal event so they can have different sexes events in this one and made a great debut at the games.

You’ll notice that most of my favorite sports all offer free streaming. I agree. How are you going to grow a sport if no one is watching? It’s dumb. Federations need to focus more on supporting the sports.

On which planet?  
 
Totallympics doesn't count, we all know we'd stay awake half the night for two weeks if there was a Junior South Burmese Games or something.

Honestly I’m sorry that my country made a mess of yours. Our biggest mistake was putting the Shah in power. I don’t know why my fellow Americans don’t try to make fiends with Iran because there is definitely a positive change happening that we affecting in a negative way.
