That athlete represents the government in an official capacity at a world event. You're making it out like they somehow don't represent Russia.

I can see by your downvote but failure to reply that you believe the athlete does not represent Russia. Then why have country distinctions at all?

The rules are set up to present a ladylike/gentlemanly behavior in the face of good sportsmanship. There is nothing ungentlemanly or unladylike in refusing to shake hands when a sword tap will suffice.

There is also nothing unladylike about not wanting to touch the person who represents your rapists. If the athlete representing Russia doesn't like that treatment, they can choose to participate without representing a nation.

There are simple solutions to all of these problems, but the most important aspect is she had an agreement with the official that a sword tap would be appropriate and acceptable beforehand. Downvotes mean nothing without a response. I can sign up for 10 accounts and manipulate the votes too!

Seems there should be a new voting system. Up and down for agree/disagree, and flags for inappropriate content that doesn't require explanation and submitting a report. Submitting too many flags that turn out to be nothing mutes the user.

Yes. With 100% certainty, that is the only way the Japanese cook their barnacles

Being forced to shake hands with the representation of the people committing war crimes against your family and nation is an awful standard.

"Okay, we know he raped you, but it's been 17 months. Just get over it and shake his hand."

You can eat barnacles. It's not uncommon in Japan

I never liked this riddle. "Am I standing in front of you?" would tell you immediately

Her voice is grating. You can tell it's ragebait within 30 seconds

Too bad. The Elkay LK99 drain is sold out at Home Depot

The iphone SE.. Was that not clear? The reason the jelly 2 isn't the same size is because the stuff like a headphone jack takes up space and iPhone users are willing to go without that stuff for the sake of the owning a phone by that brand

Wait.. Do you not care about your own safety? When all other factors are equal, you'd prefer to just be dead?

The likely reason it isn't a COMMON phone form factor is the hardware required to make it a phone would take up too much space
