I think it's great that you want to oppose these people, but I think it's wrong to start using bad faith arguments ourselves to do it

Well that's an important part of the discussion: it's not as binary as you want to present it

But in this case, we're not talking about '1%'. Generally, women can go to 35% muscle mass while men can go to 45%. I can imagine it's a world of difference between fighting someone who has 1% more more muscle than yourself, or 25%.

That's just because these questions are disingenious at best. The real questions you should ask is why there are different men and women competitions on all levels (answer: to not deny half of the population to meaningfully compete) and where those people that don't clearly fall into this binary division should enter.

I can read it, that's why I asked. That figure would be very much in the same ballpark. 7.6B * 0.9 / 1826 days = 3.67 M per day or 4.61M when it would have been 4 years

Where in your source does it say that?

Maybe for developing countries, it's better to fund 1000 teachers instead of 1000 Olympic hopefuls

He's an ex-cop

What doesn't say the host country is the one that makes the money?

The Olympics is already operating at a net loss, with the host city/country basically footing the bill in exchange for publicity.

Do you think these cities would be happy to pay for 20.000 extra 'employees' for four years?

Ok, so the IOC should be taking that revenue away from the host country and expect them to pay for the infrastructure and staff at an even bigger loss?

Which country or city would want to do that?

And how do you suggest the IOC should get the money to pay for all those 'employees' ?

Does anyone really need these circlejerks to convince themselves?

You don't understand. Bad publicity is good publicity.

Or maybe, in this particular case... No publicity.

No publicity is good bad publicity like... Well yeah you might have a point there

Better get 2 bottles ready

Nonono they should have just gone with the geriatric wax statue

They are both trying to put a genocide on eachother since the 1920's

What you're seeing is a looong stretched religious territorial conflict. Sometimes it lasts a year. Sometimes it lasts centuries

I think what's missing from your analysis is that they tend to be socially conservative. As in, they don't like the gays and the atheists.

So much misplaced anger. Yes the economy is fucked, and your life is probably in the shitter, but immigrants aren't the ones to blame for this. Blame the 1%

I think it's a misconception that these people are angry at immigrants for economic reasons. They're angry at immigrants because they're racists.
