boroda... how many people did stalin kill then?    Was afghanistan a war of agression or not?

you will have to excuse us for our ignorance... most of the russians that we see here are cheap, cruel and barbaric criminals with no sense of decency.

Toad, no offenses please ;)


I'd rather be seen as the local radio than the village imbecile.

Hmm, hard to say if you are not in that situation but    

 No,when is about life and death God said not to judge others let him do it,


I was right; you'd make a good Quaker with a little work.

Now go explain your stance to your wife and daughter; I'm sure they'll understand that you'd sit idly by and watch them murdered.

As for my view, you fall squarely into the category described by John Stuart Mill:

Quote
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.


Looks to me like there were better men in Romania.

 Jackal, what colour is your corn shack? I'll need to know what I'm looking for. Is there a Marriott hotel in the area? (I'll settle for a Hampton's Inn)

To answer your earlier Q, no I have never been to AR. I'll pass through OK to get there - haven't yet been to OK either.



  The color and location of my corn shack is not to be disclosed. Them dang revenuers ya know.
  :D
  As far the Marriot...the term SOL comes to mind. lol
  There is a Tawakoni Inn. The cordial owner will gracefully explain to you "Don`t put the MF`n Key in the bottom  F`n lock like the rest of the F`n city slicker morons. ( Long story, but true. :rofl )
  If your going from big D to Ft. Smith by the way of OK, then you will miss some great countryside. It`s just according if you would like to get there fast or do a little sight seeing.

Sorry, I tried to be polite, but if you insist on escaping political correctness - I have to agree. We, Russians, are traditionally nice with touched people.

I think the Southern usage is "tetched", as in "tetched in the haid".

You have no moral right to attack Ghi.

Thanks for using your favourite distraction tactics. What Ghi meant was that Chaushesku was not worse then occupants shooting everything that moves.

BTW, that "better men" slaughtered Chaushesku and his family without trial. Not very "democratic", isn't it? Doesn't it worry you? Double standards again? Didn't it go as far as schizophrenia yet?

Sorry, I used an electronic dictionary to find a word that gives the right impression, same as Russian "ubogiy", "yurodiviy". Maybe I was wrong.

"We don't take offences from those who are offended by god",

BTW, what did you mean by "bonified"?

"bonified" = bona fide = Latin for "good faith" = genuine

Thanks!

Sorry, I spelled "Ceausescu" as "Chaushesku", it's a direct transcribtion from Cyrillic back to Latin.
