Seaside Loafer posted:Right so you have just acknowledged that loads of kids are doing it anyway so what is your solution? The percentage of people doping at amateur and junior level is miniscule compared to your suggest of allowing all PED's. Once that dam is opened you go from a handful of cases of people dying from heart failure due to PED abuse a year to thousands. The only real deterrent is lifetime bans for people caught, and more effectively funded independent organisations. National federations should never be expected to keep their own athletes clean, that just encourages corruption. Look at Russia and the States, and even us with Radcliffe back in 2000. 'Suspicious' test results swept under the rug.

a glitch posted:Your relative may want to give this a look over, so he knows what to expect and what they'll be looking out for. I'd also strongly recommend that someone goes with him into the assessment - even if he doesn't need help a answering questions, the interviews are mentally draining and he'll be needing some emotional support before, during and after the interview. I sure as hell needed it when I was having trouble with anxiety a few years back, and I can't imagine things have got better. Ta, chief. That does look useful, and I'll pass it on. The mobility section looks pretty hosed, though - lots of high-scoring things you might qualify for and a total lack of nuance for when your problem is lots of little things adding up.

So the EU is planning to resettle the 120,000 refugees that have made it to Europe, with economic EU powerhouse Spain set to take in 14,931 (in 3rd place after Germany with 31,443 and France with 24,031). The PM of the right-wing Spanish government says "I'm not going to get into debating figures at this stage and considering what's going on. Spain is going to be supportive and won't argue the numbers" Just thought I'd throw out that little contrast there. Here's an infographic if anyone cares http://www.20minutos.es/graficos/reparto-de-refugiados-en-la-union-europea-111/0/ Meanwhile David Cameron gets fired https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25a5RRh6nXs Mister Adequate posted:I hope fellow goons will join me in offering congratulations to Er Maj on this historic day

I work in a call centre and used to have to phone other companies call centers a lot, which is how I discovered that Saga Insurance (i.e. the insurance for old people) includes Golden Brown by the Stranglers. Years ago my workplace used to use Frank Sinatra's Greatest Hits as its hold music, I work for an insurance company, and one time we got a complaint about our hold music. A customer had phoned us at 11pm to get their car recovered following an accident. All alone, on a pitch black country road, the caller had to listen to Strangers in the Night while waiting to get through.

serious gaylord is right on this issue. Also I personally don't believe that doping is as prevalent in some sports as people seem to believe (partially because there's no money in a lot of Olympic sports). It's going to be completely ubiquitous in football, and it's certainly not a coincidence that eg. Nadal's performance has fallen off enormously following Operation Puerto. However, a lot of eg. GB rowers (world champions as of the last few days) don't put out that much more than me in terms of watt per kilo (doubly so if you allow for them being full time athletes and me not), they're "just" technically better (again, full time athletes). I'm only on one medication, an asthma inhaler which a) without which I couldn't walk and talk at the same time, let alone do large amounts of cardio and b) doesn't require a TUE even if I took it at twice my prescribed dose. If they're doped up to the gills then they should be ashamed of themselves for being so relatively crap.

So despite some E-mails and phone calls, Labour never bothered to actually get me a vote and apparently I'm not alone. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/labour-leadership-voters-vent-online-6414825 quote:A Labour party spokesman said all members who had not yet voted were sent an email days ago asking them to get in touch if they had not received their ballot. I never got this E-mail and yes I checked spam. The only one I ever got was the one thanking me for registering.

That said, Loafer's 'better legal' argument applies here, because the people using a bit of speed to work three jobs aren't the side who need punishing in this situation, and there's nothing stopping drug legalization and better workers' rights (except the entire current government and the gutter press  ).
