Boroda brings up good points IMO.

It's always funny for me to see how different countries view the US and vice-versa. Having lived overseas and traveled quite a bit I got past US propoganda .. ok partially, one can't entirely remove oneself from it here in the states.

I don't agree with Comunism but that doesn't mean I don't agree with some of the people that live in comunist controlled states or countries.
Just like in the US, the average person doesn't have direct influence over the government once leaders are elected.
Also, just like our country, there are differences of opinions and differences in lifestyles.

all in all the people are generally the same everywhere.
it's those friggin governments that screw things up.

depend ...

from a French or an American point of view ?

The more I read this BBS the more I do think that the American are a bit to nationalistic ...
I'm not sure if it's just the opinion of average American of the opinion of the Average HTC customer.

The use of the "Anti-American" trick in particuliar make me vomit ...
It's exactly the same "against the party" trick the communist used behind the Iron wall ...

The answer was "no" to my question, and therefore would of been a "no" to your question.

straffo FWIW, I wouldn't make an opinion of the 'average' American based on this BBS.
I'd bet there are more 'nationalistic' types in this game than the typical cross section due to affiliation with the military.

for the record. the United States is the best country in the world!

Stalin ate babies, and made it the official meal of the May Day celebration.

I hope that clears this up.

Kieren, I cannot believe it, are you joking?

There is really a book of "History" with this sentence??

Not that there's anything wrong with speaking Russian, but I doubt life would have been fun for western Europe under Stalin's rule.

Funkye, I were a little disctract, read some post ago (maybe in the page before).

Next time pay more attention to the lesson, for now i give you a "C".

BTW, I would like to learn russian, but seem so difficult.

I speak only western languages English, french, spanish, and I would like to learn russian, japaneese, chineese, and arab.

But I have no time to study

Dont surrender, keep working, and soon or later you will earn a B and even (maybe) an A.

Ops, I missed this post, sorry for the late answer.

Wulfe, you have a little exagerated reaction, I pointed your attitude, not your person, I seem to remember in other discussions that you was open to critics on some issues that have always a "last man defence call" effect in a lot of US posters here.

It's just that in this thread you was assuming the same attitude of Boroda, in other words a complete justification of the behaviour of your country, regardless of the real (or perceived by the rest of the Humanity) reasons behind.

The question it's not to hate your government, but just to admit (as also Boroda fail to do), that some "Helping wars", "preheventive strikes", or "World's police duty" that both of your country (USA and URSS) have claimed, had little to do with the reasons publicly exposed, and more to do with the usual power/money issues.

There it's nothing clean or moral in politics or diplomacy, we can dream about an improvement, but, as now, that's the sad reality.
